Alagodi

What is the citation for "Alagodi" supposed to be? I'll fix it if someone can tell me what the book is. - Sitush (talk) 12:34, 7 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Found it by checking what other articles the contributor has been involved with. It is this but, yet again, the source does not support the statement. Removing. - Sitush (talk) 13:55, 7 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

BLP violation

I removed a person from the "Notable people" list here because the source does not show him self-identifying as a Kulala. This is unacceptable per our policy relating to living people. You can read more about this at User:Sitush/Common#Castelists. - Sitush (talk) 12:40, 7 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Other sourcing issues

I've removed some other poorly sourced statements also. For example. Edgar Thurston was a Raj administrator and is not reliable, while the "states" series of The People of India has been deemed to be unreliable in discussions at WP:RSN (mainly because it mostly plagiarises the Raj authors and often without even attributing it). - Sitush (talk) 13:23, 7 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Kulala page

Dear Sir ,I request you to give edit option for the K ulala page. Thank you Roshani kulal (talk) 16:47, 12 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The limitation on editing has been put in place due to repeated disruption. Feel free to propose changes to the article here but bear in mind that they will not be accepted unless you provide reliable sources and/or you adhere to the information given at WP:NPOV regarding neutrality. Thanks. - Sitush (talk) 17:07, 12 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, and you probably should read WP:SOCK first also. We are aware that there has been some canvassing on a caste discussion forum. - Sitush (talk) 17:08, 12 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

thank you sir Justmangalore (talk) 01:53, 31 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Most of the information in this page are wrong Tamilan pugal (talk) 11:04, 13 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi

Yadavahistory.com you can refer this page for more information regarding kulal Roshani kulal (talk) 17:16, 12 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

That is not a reliable source. No caste-affiliated website is. - Sitush (talk) 17:40, 12 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Reference book does not contain word kulala

@admin i referred the book and nowhere i can find the word "kulala " or Moolya in it.It is not a valid reliable source for this particular page.youcan check it. Justmangalore (talk) 07:44, 22 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

It says: "The potter (kulala) belongs to the lowest stratum, the sudras", etc on p. 7. - Sitush (talk) 08:03, 22 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

My concern would be that the source does not capitalise kulala and thus might be using it as a generic word for potter rather than a specific word for the caste. I can find no other reliable sources that appear to mention this community so I guess that the article should be considered for deletion unless someone else turns something up soon. - Sitush (talk) 10:06, 22 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I've found another reliable source now that does indeed confirm the traditional occupation as potters etc, and can be used for expansion. While the "states" series of The People of India has been deemed to be unreliable in discussions at WP:RSN, the "national" series, published by Oxford University Press, was simultaneously deemed to be ok. - Sitush (talk) 16:09, 23 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Admin : I understand you are trying to give proper information but end of the day we are humans. My humble request don't highlight the word sudra in any community. As a editor we have to highlight what they did rather what they faced. Tamilan pugal (talk) 02:06, 18 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not an admin but that doesn't matter. It is a simple policy issue - please read WP:NOTCENSORED. - Sitush (talk) 20:03, 19 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Possible plagiarism

I have found this article in The Times of India but have grave doubts about using it as a source. It seems quite clear to me that the writer took information from our own Kumbara article, which was unsourced at the time and remains so today. To use the ToI article as a source here now would be to create a circular reference. - Sitush (talk) 17:15, 23 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I have strong reservations about usage of any Indian newspaper as a source in caste-articles and am generally always skeptical about their accuracy in fact-checking etc.Scholarly sources are always better and by a mile.~ Winged Blades^Godric 16:29, 24 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Moolya

Moolya is a community found in South India. The people belonging to this community are traditionally Mud Pot Makers. The community was highly respected for its simplicity, hardwork and for their sweet nature.

There have been prominent Moolya's in the past like "Gora Kumbhar". One of the most repected devotee of 12 century. The saint was ardent devotee of Lord Vithal.

Moolya's are also present in significant number in South Karnataka,specially in Manglore. They have a community hall in suratkal called "KULALA BHAVAN". It was built by a Moolya from Mumbai — Preceding unsigned comment added by 103.199.243.25 (talk) 14:23, 5 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi ScottishFinnishRadish -

I don't see a single article says kulala words related to pottery.As per india government record kulala caste issued only to potters in south india (Kerala, tamilnadu, Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh)

But I can assure that, in india we called potter as artsian and they make clay pots,idols etc. They also involved in trade aswell. Since they need to sell their pots and idols to the customer

Check out this below website in india usally they will call Potters as a artisan.

Even I tried searching multiple articles in internet I didn't see that potters are working in government service and wage labour.

So please do remove that sentence in the article. Tamilan pugal (talk) 15:08, 18 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Not done: The suggested text is nearly unintelligible and definitely not an improvement. The only desired change seems to be wanting to have a caste labeled as "artisans" but this is not an improvement. Eggishorn (talk) (contrib) 17:14, 19 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Karnataka

In Karnataka they speak both Tulu and kannada language and are also known as kumbara and Kulala.[11] They use the title Shetty.

Shetty is altogether a different caste. So remove "Shetty"

Kerala

Kulala (Also known as Kulala Nair) community is found only in the Kasaragod district of Kerala state in India, where they have several exogamous gotras, including Banjan, Banjera, Salian and Upian.They use the title Nair.

Nair are Brahmins. So remove them. 2405:204:5321:3C48:0:0:DDE:50A0 (talk) 16:28, 25 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
