No references

This article needs references. It also needs copyediting to make it sound more like an encyclopedia article and less statements that do not provide alternate point of view.

The Siddha name Poonaikkannanaar of Egypt, is set to be redirected to Jesus. Is there any reference for that? Otherwise we can change that.Rajavel 2k12 (talk) 00:14, 30 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Adding to the page

Please leave formatting of the page alone, it's completely unnecessary, all the links work and direct you to sites where you can learn more, if you have more information then please add Pleasuresofleng (talk) 15:00, 27 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Also it's a topic about Tamil people, so obvs you're going to get links with Tamil in it, or literal English to Tamil translations, the world is bigger than just the English language Pleasuresofleng (talk) 15:08, 27 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I mean literal Tamil to English translations Pleasuresofleng (talk) 15:08, 27 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Pleasuresofleng would you care to explain why you are creating havoc on the page? Lots of cites no have no title or access-dates for their citations. This is a basic requirement of the reliable citation strategy to enhance the encyclopedia and stop the cites having bare URLs. Also this page is always showing up on WP:WCW for errors in having colons in the titles - I have linked this so you can follow yourself. You have undone sound edits by Franz.wohlkoenig, Quuxplusone and myself, for what I can see as being for no good reason. The joy of all things (talk) 15:30, 27 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@The joy of all things lol havoc? where are you? what are you smoking? It was a dud, this article, I edited it, those were not sound edits, they just removed links because it didn't fit, they added no usable information Pleasuresofleng (talk) 15:44, 27 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Well, for a start, you stripped out access-dates from web citations; they are supposed to have them. Also, even though I have always included this link here WP:WCW, you always state that the removal of the colons are "unnecessary". The joy of all things (talk) 20:24, 27 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@The joy of all things Alright guys, I was being sarcastic.Let me see what I can fix, yes it does seem trivial, very unnecessary Pleasuresofleng (talk) 20:45, 27 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Make useful contributions so people can access information and learn Pleasuresofleng (talk) 10:18, 28 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
So pedantic. Who do y'all think you are? The custodians of colons and access dates? Pleasuresofleng (talk) 10:22, 28 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Pleasuresofleng: please explain this edit of yours. It appears that you are deliberately removing interwiki links to the Tamil-language Wikipedia and replacing them with links to https://anaadifoundation.org/ . You also seem to be in violation of WP:3RR. Shall we get a moderator involved, or what? --Quuxplusone (talk) 22:04, 28 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Quuxplusone Bruh please, it's a cool story though. Please explain yourself Pleasuresofleng (talk) 22:49, 28 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@Pleasuresofleng:: Let's take this one step at a time. One of the changes you recently made was that you changed a bunch of links of the form Sundaranandar<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.anaadifoundation.org/blog/parnika/siddhar-charithiram-sundaraanandar-siddhar |website=anaadifoundation.org}}</ref> to [https://www.anaadifoundation.org/blog/parnika/siddhar-charithiram-sundaraanandar-siddhar/ Sundaranandar]. The latter isn't Wikipedia style; specifically, it leaves no room for the name Sundaranandar to be wikilinked to the actual Wikipedia article on that topic. Obviously @The joy of all things:, @Franz.wohlkoenig: and I would like to use Wikipedia style in this article. May we put those links back to Wikipedia style, or would you simply revert that change again? --Quuxplusone (talk) 17:20, 30 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@Quuxplusone, for me, its the removal of the access-date that is proving to be annoying. I have pointed out to Pleasuresofleng that we have guidelines but as you can see above, they have accused me of being The custodians of colons and access dates?. This has a strong sense of WP:OWN and WP:NOTHERE to me. The joy of all things (talk) 17:27, 30 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Well, I'm going to try now with just that one example (Sundaranandar); let's see what happens. (UPDATE: Done.) --Quuxplusone (talk) 18:46, 1 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@Quuxplusone You haven't put an access date in the new reference, you made the mistake you accused me of, please take more care, this is a public space. I put the link in with the name of the Siddhar, months ago, to link it directly to the external site for more info, because there isn't a wiki article. It's not a reference. I mean, if only you knew more about the topic, it's the colons and access dates that pique your interest, but you've gone done messed up now, that's a tad embarrassing, you were supposed to be the custodians, who will we rely on now? Pleasuresofleng (talk) 19:23, 1 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I didn't change any links, please go through the page edit history properly, there were no links to external sites on the Siddhars apart from one. I linked what wiki articles there are to the list of Siddhars, and for the rest that don't have articles, I added external links, not references. Please check through and be sure before you make such accusations and modifications to a page that was already perfect. You clearly have no expertise in the area. You've got the formatting wrong yourself, left out the access date on reference 22 which you added yesterday. If you can't do that properly, what's the point of your existence? What are we going to do? Where is the access date? You are causing havoc!!! If you notice, all the references I put in have an access date from earlier this year. Pleasuresofleng (talk) 08:32, 2 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I forgot, are you going to remove the colons too? Must be a dream job for the likes of you, removing colons from different wiki articles; 3 evil colons down, all in a day's work for the custodians, we work to keep Wiki clean and free from crime Pleasuresofleng (talk) 09:42, 2 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

All right, Pleasuresofleng "thanked" me for that edit. Let's now try adjusting all 36 siddhars' external links in the same way. (Btw @Franz.wohlkoenig: feel free to add access-dates; me, I'm not currently reading those URLs except to see that they exist.) --Quuxplusone (talk) 13:28, 2 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Quuxplusone Then why do you bother or great custodian of the colon? Pleasuresofleng (talk) 13:42, 2 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
