Nair

edit

Hi! I noticed your edits to the Nair article. Nairs are not known as a tribe in the actual sense. They are a Caste. --vi5in[talk] 15:27, 13 June 2007 (UTC)Reply

Hello, the problem is that in Wikipedia, things need to be attributable. I believe that most anthropologists consider Nairs to be a caste. There really is not basis to call them a "tribe". It might be true that they were a "tribe" before the Namboothiris came to Kerala. But I think they are currently known as a caste. So we probably have to go with what is current. If you have a source that states they actually were a tribe (in the past), then you are welcome to add the information. Thanks for the site, though. It has some very interesting info! --vi5in[talk] 16:25, 14 June 2007 (UTC)Reply
Hello, your edit most probably must have gotten lost in the recent edits. Someone was adding a "Sexual Life" section that had nothing to do with the article. Why don't you start a discussion in the talk page with your concerns? Just be warned though. A lot of people will come there with opinions/conjecture/original research. What we want is (attributable) facts. --vi5in[talk] 17:00, 25 June 2007 (UTC)Reply
Hello, don't be disheartened :). I have posted my thoughts on the issue. As always, I maintain that we need a reputable source. On Wikipedia, we usually describe or label a topic according to what it is known most commonly. This usually also means that we go with what something like Encyclopedia Britannica says. Britannica calls Nairs a Hindu Caste (although on Britannica, Nair is spelt as Nayar and so one could argue that the name needs to be changed. However, almost everyone spells it as "Nair"). What I propose is that we could have a paragraph or a section somewhere that describes Nairs as a community, perhaps from the perspective of Nairs themselves. Since we cannot allow Original Research, we need to make sure that this perspective is backed up by references. --vi5in[talk] 19:40, 26 June 2007 (UTC)Reply

  Please do not remove content or templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did to North East Delhi riots, without giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Your content removal does not appear to be constructive and has been reverted. If you only meant to make a test edit, please use the sandbox for that.

This is a standard message to notify contributors about an administrative ruling in effect. It does not imply that there are any issues with your contributions to date.

You have shown interest in India, Pakistan, and Afghanistan. Due to past disruption in this topic area, a more stringent set of rules called discretionary sanctions is in effect.

Your recent editing history at North East Delhi riots 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 don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.
