[edit]

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, your addition of one or more external links to the page Padmanabhan Palpu has been reverted.
Your edit here to Padmanabhan Palpu was reverted by an automated bot that attempts to remove links which are discouraged per our external links guideline. The external link(s) you added or changed (http://guruforum.webs.com/drpalpu.htm) is/are on my list of links to remove and probably shouldn't be included in Wikipedia. If the external link you inserted or changed was to a blog, forum, free web hosting service, fansite, or similar site (see 'Links to avoid', #11), then please check the information on the external site thoroughly. Note that such sites should probably not be linked to if they contain information that is in violation of the creator's copyright (see Linking to copyrighted works), or they are not written by a recognised, reliable source. Linking to sites that you are involved with is also strongly discouraged (see conflict of interest).
If you were trying to insert an external link that does comply with our policies and guidelines, then please accept my creator's apologies and feel free to undo the bot's revert. However, if the link does not comply with our policies and guidelines, but your edit included other, constructive, changes to the article, feel free to make those changes again without re-adding the link. Please read Wikipedia's external links guideline for more information, and consult my list of frequently-reverted sites. For more information about me, see my FAQ page.

List of Ezhavas

[edit]

If there are is one article with a problem, the correct solution is to fix that one, not make another article worse. It is simply nonsense for legends to appear on a "List of people from group X". Feel free to fix whatever other articles have similar problems. Qwyrxian (talk) 01:12, 22 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I am trying to give a true reflection of my community's heritage and history here. I am not here to edit pages and delete somebody else’s work and details and then be accused of vandalism. I am not trying to make this article worse. I am trying to improve it. As Aromal and Unniarcha became well known for their valour, victory and bravery, their stories later on became legends told through Vadakkan Pattukal(North Kerala Ballads). I have given here two references from Indian historians’ books which tell Aromal and Unnniarcha belonging to the caste Ezhava/Thiyya. If need be, I will produce more references from published history books on Kerala’s castes. Just because their stories were told and re-told and became legends - North Kerala Ballads(Vadakkan Pattukal), which forms a part of our Kerala culture, it does not mean they did not belong to our community.

But they're not real people. Okay, well, when I think about it, there is a way to include it. Rather than marking them as "martial arts experts", if we explicitly mark them as being mythological, then we could; there are some lists that include even modern fictional characters. I'll re-add them under such a heading. But it's critical that we mark them as not being real people. Qwyrxian (talk) 02:47, 22 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Where in the whole world did you get ideas that Aromal and Unniarcha are not real people? They were real people who lived, breathed and died in the 16th century. Just because Julius Ceaser was made into a play by Shakespeare and thereby became famous all over the world, would you say Julius Ceaser is not a real person? By saying they are not real people, are you either disputing our Kerala history or claiming that our historians are not good enough, or are you suggesting our historians have come up with imaginary people from 16th century to create history?

Sadasivan

[edit]

Please be careful using Sadasivan as a source. His veracity has been questioned here on many occasions. - Sitush (talk) 20:40, 23 December 2012 (UTC) Sorry, on what basis did you delete the entire list of Literature? Sadasivan was not given as a source on even a single name there? Also, on what basis did you delete Susheela Gopalan, K R Gowriamma, V. S. Achuthanandan.[reply]

Read more at: http://indiatoday.intoday.in/story/achuthanandan-returns-to-kerala-poll-fray-as-politburo-changes-its-mind/1/181532.html I gave the following reference as source http://indiatoday.intoday.in/story/achuthanandan-returns-to-kerala-poll-fray-as-politburo-changes-its-mind/1/181532.html

Also Vayalar Ravi, I gave the reference below http://www.rediff.com/news/2007/jun/04inter1.htm He is acknowledging himself as Ezhava in this article.

Where is Sadasivan in any of the above references?

Can some one help me delete my last edit entry in the View history on List of Ezhavas. My IP address is being shown in the history. I logged out accidentally and then went on to edit without logging in at 23:58, 26 December 2012‎ . Your help to delete that entry would be highly appreciated, so that my IP address is not visible.

I don't know which one was yours--there were two IP edits recently. If you tell me which one I can use WP:REVDEL, which will hide the IP address form all non-admins. Just tell me what you added or removed or changed (that is, don't repeat the IP number here). Qwyrxian (talk) 11:53, 27 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Thankyou so much! I just tried to delete some space between the Legendary characters and the new entry Cinema to make the page appear neat. That's all. I did this at 23:58, 26 December 2012‎ . You can see this in the history. I am not repeating the IP number here but copying and pasting the remaining of the line. Once again thankyou for hiding or deleting! This is the line. 23:58, 26 December 2012‎ (talk)‎ . . (8,115 bytes) (-1)‎ . .
