Please don't change articles so that they do not accurately represent their sources, as you did at Classical language, and especially don't change quotations so that they misrepresent what the person quoted actually said. Edward Sapir did not accord Tamil the status which you claimed he did. The editor who uses the pseudonym "JamesBWatson" (talk) 13:42, 4 October 2017 (UTC)Reply

  Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to vandalize Wikipedia, you may be blocked from editing. There is no way that you can imagine that your change to the quotation from Sapir actually represents what he wrote, especially in view of the message above. Moreover, the grossly misleading edit summary "Fixed typo" gives the appearance that you are attempting to hide teh nature of what you are doing.

  You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you add unsourced material to Wikipedia, as you did with this edit to Proto-Dravidian language. Shellwood (talk) 14:06, 4 October 2017 (UTC)Reply

  • I will try to help you understand the point of the messages above, by clarifying the nature of Wikipedia, and its relation to sources. Content of a Wikipedia article needs to represent information presented in reliable sources, not just whatever somebody who chooses to edit Wikipedia thinks is the "truth". If we did not have that policy then there would be nothing to stop anyone from posting any content they chose to, irrespective of its validity. Your editing so far has consisted entirely of posting content which does not agree with reliable sources, and indeed three of the four article edits you have made so far directly contradict a source cited in the article in question.
