Welcome!

Hello, Thiyyan, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of your edits to the page Ezhava have not conformed to Wikipedia's verifiability policy, and may be removed if they have not yet been. Wikipedia articles should refer only to facts and interpretations that have been stated in print or on reputable websites or other forms of media. Always remember to provide a reliable source for quotations and for any material that is likely to be challenged, or it may be removed. Wikipedia also has a related policy against including original research in articles. As well, all new biographies of living people must contain at least one reliable source.

If you are stuck and looking for help, please see the guide for citing sources or come to the new contributors' help page, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Or, you can just type {{helpme}} on your user page, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Here are a few other good links for newcomers:

Hello edit

the {{editprotected}} is a template used on the talk pages of protected articles to request edits be made. If, as I think you're doing, you're trying to have the pages protected from editing, you need to make a request at WP:RFPP, however none of those pages require protection--Jac16888 Talk 19:58, 17 April 2012 (UTC)Reply

And please stop it with the excessive amount of redirects, it's overkill and unnecessary--Jac16888 Talk 20:11, 17 April 2012 (UTC)Reply

Proposed deletion of Thiyyar edit

 

The article Thiyyar has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

POV fork of Ezhava, attempting to show information that consensus has deemed unsuitable

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Thiyyar POV fork edit

Please do not create POV forks, as you have done at Thiyyar. Wikipedia works on the basis of consensus and this is clearly an attempt by you to get round the consensus at Ezhava. - Sitush (talk) 12:12, 18 April 2012 (UTC)Reply

April 2012 edit

  Welcome to Wikipedia. It might not have been your intention, but your recent edit removed maintenance templates from Thiyyar. When removing maintenance templates, please be sure to either resolve the problem that the template refers to, or give a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry, as your removal of this template has been reverted. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia, and if you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Thank you.

Please stop your ridiculous POV pushing. Sitush (talk) 17:43, 18 April 2012 (UTC)Reply

Nomination of Thiyyar for deletion edit

 

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Thiyyar is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Thiyyar until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion template from the top of the article. Sitush (talk) 18:16, 18 April 2012 (UTC)Reply

Sanctions edit

Please read the notice below. You are doing pretty much everything wrong at present. - Sitush (talk) 18:18, 18 April 2012 (UTC)Reply

  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 an article 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.

Do you know what a "house of cards" is? Until the issue has been resolved regarding whether the Thiyyar article is worth keeping, there is little reason to change dab pages to point to that rather than Ezhava. After all, if you have actually read around as I suggested then you will know that the consensus has always been that they should indeed point to Ezhava. So, please stop changing them until you have proven that the target article is a valid one. So far, you have not. Thanks. - Sitush (talk) 21:06, 19 April 2012 (UTC)Reply

OBC list edit

Can you find a copy of the relevant OBC list online? The one that refers to Thiyyar? I'd like to take a look at it. - Sitush (talk) 21:09, 19 April 2012 (UTC)Reply

Don;t worry, I have found it. However, I would be grateful if you could point out where the Thiyyar appear in this list. The numerous spellings of the name do cause problems and my inability to find the community listed there may well be due to that. I think it is item 21. - Sitush (talk) 01:03, 20 April 2012 (UTC)Reply

The editprotected template edit

Hi, when you add the {{edit protected}} template to a talk page, as you did at the following pages: Talk:Thiyyan; Talk:Tiyya; Talk:Theeyar; Talk:Theeyya; Talk:Theeyyar; and Talk:Theeyan, please make sure that you follow the instructions at Wikipedia:Edit requests. In particular, please note that the {{edit protected}} template does not cause a page to become protected (that is a function available only to administrators), nor is it used for requesting that a page be protected (these should be filed according to the instructions at Wikipedia:Requests for page protection). {{Edit protected}} is used to request that an edit should be made to a page which is already protected, and so it must be followed with details of the edit which is to be made. --Redrose64 (talk) 23:17, 21 April 2012 (UTC)Reply
