The page had content on kapu, balija and karava communities; which should go to their respective article pages. Other content was unverifiable and unsourced. Thanks. --Anon=us (talk) 01:32, 24 March 2017 (UTC)anon=usReply

References

edit
 

Remember that when adding content about health, please only use high-quality reliable sources as references. We typically use review articles, major textbooks and position statements of national or international organizations (There are several kinds of sources that discuss health: here is how the community classifies them and uses them). WP:MEDHOW walks you through editing step by step. A list of resources to help edit health content can be found here. The edit box has a built-in citation tool to easily format references based on the PMID or ISBN. We also provide style advice about the structure and content of medicine-related encyclopedia articles. The welcome page is another good place to learn about editing the encyclopedia. If you have any questions, please feel free to drop me a note. Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 06:53, 28 March 2017 (UTC)Reply

Amazing! are you saying these sources are not high quality? These are peer-reviewed journals. Is that not enough? Are you going to review these? Anyone on wiki does reviews? If so, go ahead:

Please note that review articles DOES NOT equal peer reviewed. These are somewhat different concepts. Best Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 09:13, 28 March 2017 (UTC)Reply
Sure. What are wiki guidelines in this? Who does the reviews for either for wiki? Are none of the articles acceptable? --Anon=us (talk) 09:15, 28 March 2017 (UTC)anon=usReply
Guideline is WP:MEDRS. If you are using pubmed you can limit your search to review articles. On the talk page of all medical articles there is a box that links to those searches.

Got it. Thanks.--Anon=us (talk) 09:18, 28 March 2017 (UTC)anon=usReply
@Doc James:, could you help me understand please. Please see the article HNRNPA2B1. Find in 'further reading' not all are review articles (i had added a few citations too). Shouldn't the same rules apply there too? Please guide.--Anon=us (talk) 09:35, 28 March 2017 (UTC)anon=usReply
For medical content we generally trim non reviews. Other topic areas have different criteria. I personally would trim the non reviews but that is just me. Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 09:40, 28 March 2017 (UTC)Reply
@Doc James:, had no clue about the review part on wiki. Thanks for letting me know and for your patience and for explaining (sorry for being rude earlier on). I see where you come from, but if non-reviews are trimmed, it gets restrictive for topics on genetics. For ex: one wud have to delete role in diseases and part of content in HNRNPA2B1 and in all such wiki articles...guess, its a good idea to keep the review part restricted to medical content. --Anon=us (talk) 10:08, 28 March 2017 (UTC)anon=usReply
Yes we are lucky with respect to human medicine as there is typically lots of reviews :-) Happy editing. Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 10:17, 28 March 2017 (UTC)Reply

Hello. When the case is not closed, do not know if can add the following on Kavarai and Balija to the article. Please guide if allowable. Also request Sitush to review if sources are acceptable below:

Kavarai / Tamilized Kavarai / Gavara / Balija

Below is based on understanding that when kingdoms lose, the armies / their loyalists cope in two ways, (1) allow themselves to be absorbed by the winner, (2) move away and/or settle into other occupations. Settling into other occupations would depend on relative wealth and social position; with lower rungs taking to petty trades/ becoming farmers, and higher rungs taking to better trades / occupations. Sadly, there is little info available on Decommissioned Armies in the subcontinent. As for option (1), armies in the post-Maratha, post-Nayaka period, sought employment with the British Army. This is what happened--

In April 1890 British passed GO (General Order) prohibiting recruitment of 'Telingas' (Telugus) into Madras Army. Reason is not available.

But The United Service Magazine, Volume 12 claims The Telugus in former times appeared to be a great marital race but in these latter days they have somehow lost their marital spirit, and hence, no doubt, the General Order about their enlistment" (Colburn, 1896).

While it is not possible to speculate on reasons, it is also not possible to believe the above.

The 10th, 12th, 33rd Regiments of Madras Infantry were replaced by recruits from Burma Military Police Battalions made up of Punjabis and northern Indians stationed in Burma at that time. The Telugus already in service were discharged, pensioned or transferred. Despite the weeding out it was noted the Madras Army was receiving recruits under the name of Kavarai.

The USM notes: "Kavarai is the Tamil name for the great Telugu trading caste Balija who are spread throughout the country. The Kavarais enlist as Tamils but are no more pure Tamils than Parsees are pure Persians". Since they could not get employment under Telugu, they enlisted under Tamils. The USM, p.286 also notes:

The Balijas numbered 711,370 in 1891 and Kavarais 168,966, though a great many of the latter included themselves in a subdivision of the Balija caste, and this latter caste is a subdivision of the great Telugu cultivating caste, the Kapu or Reddi (2,453,892).

Need for employment caused above changes. Shows in 1891 there existed the Balija proper and the Kavarais who included themselves in a subdivision of Balija which in turn was derived from Kapu / Reddi.

Please guide if the above can be summarized and added to the article. There are only 2 sources on the 1890 issue: (1) Historical Records of the XIII Madras Infantry, compiled by Robert Pilkington Jackson (1898); and (2) An article by H.Colburn in The United Service Magazine, Volume 12 (1896).

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Ahirbudhnya Samhita, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Manu. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, DPL bot (talk) 09:55, 3 April 2017 (UTC)Reply

Your recent editing history at Balija shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See BRD for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

Being involved in an edit war can result in your being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly. Sitush (talk) 12:14, 3 April 2017 (UTC)Reply

Well, see Balija talk page. Please explain your reverts there. I did not use census directly yet you reverted. Please can you talk before you revert. Thanks.--Anon=us (talk) 12:17, 3 April 2017 (UTC)anon=usReply


  The Wikipedia community has permitted administrators to impose discretionary sanctions on any editor who is active on any page about social groups, explicitly including caste associations and political parties, related to India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh and Nepal. Discretionary sanctions can be used against an editor who repeatedly or seriously fails to adhere to the purpose of Wikipedia, any expected standards of behavior, or any normal editorial process. If you engage in further inappropriate behavior in this area, you may be placed under sanctions, which can include blocks, a revert limitation, or a topic ban. The discussion leading to the imposition of these sanctions can be read here.

Please familiarise yourself with the information page at Wikipedia:General sanctions/South Asian social groups.

Speedy deletion nomination of Vijayavalli

edit
 

A tag has been placed on Vijayavalli requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G6 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an orphaned disambiguation page which either

  • disambiguates two or fewer extant Wikipedia pages and whose title ends in "(disambiguation)" (i.e., there is a primary topic); or
  • disambiguates no (zero) extant Wikipedia pages, regardless of its title.

Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such pages may be deleted at any time. Please see the disambiguation page guidelines for more information.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. —Oluwa2Chainz »» (talk to me) 06:31, 4 April 2017 (UTC)Reply

Intended to elaborate, but no issues. You can delete. Not a great place to contribute. If online reports are to be believed some popular editors whose names can be googled and searched with "" tags; are either hired or are associated with certain things. Had no idea until began reading just sometime back. Thot wiki is neutral and ownership attitude of articles is just an attitude. Wish had done due diligence before contributing again. Bow down to the mighty... no wonder all this. Please delete all other new articles I made or rewrote fully. Here is the list:

Please feel free to delete all contributions elsewhere too. Thanks. --Anon=us (talk) 09:44, 4 April 2017 (UTC)anon=usReply

  Please stop your disruptive behaviour. It appears you are purposefully harassing another editor. Wikipedia aims to provide a safe environment for its collaborators, and harassing other users, as you did on Talk:Balija, potentially compromises that safe environment. If you continue behaving like this, you may be blocked from editing. These kinds of personal attacks are not acceptable. The article talk pages are meant for discussing content. If you have anything to say to me, you need to do so on my talk page, and you need to do it politely. Kautilya3 (talk) 13:42, 6 April 2017 (UTC)Reply

Thanks Kautilya3. Great to see you talking about disruptive behavior, harassment and safe environment. You just want your way, in representing everything. It is obvious what you are at. There is nothing to say to you. I have already asked for this account to be deleted. Thank you. Request you and your buddies to please talk at SPI. Do not bring your comments and queries to the talk page. You are free to paste all your warning boxes here though; since you do not want anything said against your POV on the Balija talk page. As for comments, please take all of them to the SPI page. Thanks. --Anon=us (talk) 14:22, 6 April 2017 (UTC)anon=usReply

As you are continuing to use this account to attack other editors, long after claims that you are leaving and not editing any further, I have indefinitely blocked this account. If you think there are good reasons why you should be unblocked, you may request an unblock by first reading the guide to appealing blocks, then adding the following text to the bottom of your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}.

Ways to improve Chenjiamman

edit

Hi, I'm Scope creep. Anon=us, thanks for creating Chenjiamman!

I've just tagged the page, using our page curation tools, as having some issues to fix. Insufficient context in opening. What is it. Where is it. Where is gingee fort. What is the culture it is within.

The tags can be removed by you or another editor once the issues they mention are addressed. If you have questions, you can leave a comment on my talk page. Or, for more editing help, talk to the volunteers at the Teahouse.
