May 2021

Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. When you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, such as at User talk:Vicky4197, (but never when editing articles), please be sure to sign your posts. There are two ways to do this. Either:

1. Add four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment, or
2. With the cursor positioned at the end of your comment, click on the signature button located above the edit window.

This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is necessary to allow other editors to easily see who wrote what and when.

Thank you. DMacks (talk) 16:10, 8 May 2021 (UTC)

Your recent editing history at Vellalar shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. 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 the bold, revert, discuss cycle 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 you 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 do not violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.

@Bbb23 I’ve discussed it in the talk page, the users sources are contrary to what they claim. I’ve expanded upon it. Cyberanthropologist (talk) 17:59, 13 May 2021 (UTC)

You have been blocked from editing for a period of 48 hours for edit warring and violating the three-revert rule, as you did at Vellalar. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions.

During a dispute, you should first try to discuss controversial changes and seek consensus. If that proves unsuccessful, you are encouraged to seek dispute resolution, and in some cases it may be appropriate to request page protection.

If you think there are good reasons for being unblocked, please read the guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text below the block notice on your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}.  Bbb23 (talk) 18:16, 13 May 2021 (UTC)

About the article Pillai's in Kerala

So you are here referring to Nayar Pillai as Vellala Pillai's. Nayar Pillai's were clearly distinguishable from Vellalars from the early modern period. Vellalar's were known by Kanaka Pillai and are distinguished by their traditions and their cultures. It was a bad move to add Thurston's Castes and Tribes of Southern India, as it is a caste-related article and was debated enough long back and concluded as an unreliable British source with discrepancies. Check here [[1]] R.C^{Outlander07@talk} 12:33, 16 May 2021 (UTC)

@Outlander07:, Hello, I’ve added more references. There was an initial wave of Vellalar Chiefs in the medieval period when Kerala was under the Tamil Moovendars, who including the early and Kongu Cheras has their base in Tamil Nadu. Even the Chera Perumals brought Vellalars to administer. These Tamil Vellalar chiefs became the top echleon of nairs belonging to the Kiriyath group after the Cheras fell. There was continued migration of other Tamil Vellalar groups subsequently till the 19th century who naturalised as Nairs. And surprisingly most of the examples were of them naturalising as high ranking Nairs.Cyberanthropologist (talk) 06:05, 17 May 2021 (UTC)

Bunt community page

Hello, I'm Crowned467. I wanted to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions to Bunt(community) have been undone because they did not appear constructive. If you would like to experiment, please use your sandbox. If you have any questions, you can ask for assistance at the Teahouse. Thanks. Quora answers are individual opinions it cannot be considered in wikipedia, Infact under the same answer another Quoran Anusha Hegde has mentioned the illegal practice some bunts are doing by mentioning their caste as https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nador_(caste) which has nothing to do with Bunt-Nadava caste to avail OBC reservation. Crowned467 (talk) 14:54, 20 May 2021 (UTC)

It's not just a Quora opinion. There are two court cases stating the same. https://indiankanoon.org/doc/55292586/

I will start a discussion on the talk page. You present your arguments there. Let a senior editor give their opinion. Cyberanthropologist (talk) 18:08, 20 May 2021 (UTC)
