[edit] You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Illathu Nair; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus, rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.
Points to note:
- Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made;
- Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.
If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes and work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing. --John B123 (talk) 21:42, 14 March 2021 (UTC)
Please do not add or change content, as you did at Nambiar (Nair subcaste), without citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. Outlander07@talk 15:14, 16 March 2021 (UTC)
Improper Nagavanshi edits
[edit] Please do not remove content or templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did to Nagavanshi, 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 your sandbox for that. Thank you.

- Dl2000, this whole thing was copied from somewhere--it's on Gutenberg (as self-published), and it's in other places as well--we might find it in the history of this article. Cmsmith1967, it might not be an outright copyright violation, but it's not good writing. Drmies (talk) 23:02, 14 March 2021 (UTC)
- Drmies This version seems to be close to what was added, but it was mostly deleted away in Feb 2014 based on WP:RS and WP:V concerns. Dl2000 (talk) 23:26, 14 March 2021 (UTC)

[edit] Hello, I'm CommanderWaterford. I noticed that in this edit to Pillai (Kerala title), you removed content without adequately explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry, the removed content has been restored. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. CommanderWaterford (talk) 10:07, 7 April 2021 (UTC)
What was added is contradictory to what is already present in the post; furthermore, it is unreferenced, inaccurate, and poorly written Cmsmith1967 (talk) 10:20, 7 April 2021 (UTC)
Along with this, the addition is mainly discussing about Tamil pillai’s which is separate from Nair pillai’s. This content can be added to the Tamil pillai page Cmsmith1967 (talk) 10:22, 7 April 2021 (UTC)

[edit] Welcome to Wikipedia. We appreciate your contributions, but in one of your recent edits to Nambiar (Nair subcaste), it appears that you have added original research, which is against Wikipedia's policies. Original research refers to material—such as facts, allegations, ideas, and personal experiences—for which no reliable, published sources exist; it also encompasses combining published sources in a way to imply something that none of them explicitly say. Please be prepared to cite a reliable source for all of your contributions. You can have a look at the tutorial on citing sources. You haven't provided a reliable source for your Malayala Kshatriya claim. Your contributions are being reverted and can be added back with proper citations. Thank you.

Please do not add original research or novel syntheses of published material to articles as you apparently did to Pillai (Kerala title). Please cite a reliable source for all of your contributions. Thank you. R.COutlander07@talk 08:12, 11 June 2021 (UTC)
Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to violate Wikipedia's no original research policy by adding your personal analysis or synthesis into articles, as you did at Menon (subcaste), you may be blocked from editing. R.COutlander07@talk 08:13, 11 June 2021 (UTC)
Kiryathil Nair
[edit]Please stop adding the word Kshatriya before Nair in the kiryathil nair article. Almost all historians describe Nairs as shudra's and not kshatriyas. In fact as far as I know, there were no kshatriyas in the south at all, barring some "Varma's" who became kshatriyas. So, nairs merely performed the duties of a kshatriya but were sudra's in caste. Kerala had the Varna and Avarna system, where in the Varna system belonged the Brahmins, Kshatriyas(Varma) and shudra(Nairs) and in the Avarna belonged all those castes below nairs. Please be educated about all these before you start making unnecessary misleading edits. Also, I have noticed that you constantly add the Pillai(Kerala title) back into the list. This has not been documented by anyone and is against Wikipedia's policies to add original research. Please provide proper documented references for your statements or delete them immediately.

- Anyone who was a savarna was lumped into the nair group with the exception of Brahmins which is why it cannot be considered as a unitary caste, rather a multitude of different castes. Kiryathil nairs were different in that they were considered the original descendants of nagas who were kshatriyas. Other subcastes have different origins. You mentioned varmas but they were kiryathil, illathu nairs who underwent hiranyagharba rituals of which they had to do every seven years and pay a great donation to the namboothiri Brahmins. Overall, nairs have kshatriya, one vaishya, and shudra subcastes within it but the original nairs, being the kiryathil nairs, had kshatriya origins which is supported by historians Cmsmith1967 (talk) 11:43, 5 December 2023 (UTC)
