Greetings

Greetings Aditya; thanks for registering an account, that'll make it far, far easier for us to communicate.

Here's my suggestion: got to www.books.google.com (the GoogleBooks archive of hundreds of thousands of books). Try running searches on keywords, such as "Kurmi Kshatriya" and "Kurmi Shudra", etc. When you find passages which you think demonstrate facts that we should discuss including in Kurmi, simply copy the URL in your address bar and paste it into this citation-generating engine: http://reftag.appspot.com . If the page-number of the book does not automatically transfer, you can type it into the engine and then press "make citation" again. This will give you a perfect footnote. If you want to share it just as a citation rather than footnote, just remove the "ref" tags at the front and back of it.

Once you have found various important facts you'd like to add, come to Talk:Kurmi and there post us some citations for us to check out, noting after the citation what part of the page you think is applicable. I'll give an example on a different topic, like let's say on Talk:Bagpipes I wanted them to say the Scottish bagpipes used to be made out of holly wood"

Joshua Dickson (9 October 2009). The Highland bagpipe: music, history, traditon. Ashgate Publishing, Ltd. pp. 50–. ISBN 9780754666691. Retrieved 7 May 2011. -- Top of page says holly is one of several woods used for bagpipes

See how I provided a full citation with a link (again, done automatically through RefTag, took me less than 10 seconds), and then explained the fact I thought should be changed? I recommend you find several citations to prove the facts you think need to be added, post them at Talk:Kurmi and if you make a convincing case and have good sources we can add it in. Sound like a plan? Again, you do understand that we have to have citations from experts to back up the text; if you think a given citation from an expert is wrong (such as on the Shudra issue) the burden of proof is upon you to find more and better proofs from reputable academic writers. Feel free to write me with any questions on formatting, etc. Going to bed now, MatthewVanitas (talk) 08:54, 7 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
