Kallars were listed as 'Criminal Tribe' during British regime under Criminal Tribes Act of 1871 due to their repeated offence of banditry,mass murders and rape.[1] விக்னேஷ்வர் பா மாளுசுத்தியார் (talk) 11:24, 27 December 2020 (UTC)

Mr. Arjayay You are right, I agreed. But please once again go through the law. This law is not related to this -> (repeated offence of banditry,mass murders and rape)
Please read the below hindu article :
HISTORY & CULTURE Namma Madurai - Massacre in a village S. S. KAVITHAAUGUST 03, 2011 19:47 IST UPDATED: AUGUST 03, 2011 19:47 IST SHARE ARTICLEPRINTA A A
MEMORIES AND A MEMORIAL: The pillar at Perungamanallur. Photo: S.S.Kavitha
The pillar at Perungamanallur tells the tale of a little-known tragedy Anyone familiar with the history of modern India is likely to be aware of April 13, 1919; of General Dyer and of the Jallianwala Bagh massacre. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to call the Perungamanallur killings, which took place on April 3, 1920, as the south Indian Jallianwala.
The black pillar with a burning torch on top in Perungamanallur tells the heartrending story of villagers who fought for their rights against an Act.
Before getting into the history of the pillar, it would be right to understand the Criminal Tribes Act that triggered the carnage. The British Government introduced the Act in 1870 and implemented it in 1914 on communities like Keezhakudi Kallar and Thogamalai Kuravar. The Act was first implemented on Keezhakudi.
In 1919, the whole of Piramalai Kallar community came under the scan of Criminal Tribes Act. According to the Act, the members of Kallar community had to register themselves by submitting their thumb impression at the respective police stations. In addition, male members above 16 years had to spend their nights in police stations and get police permission to visit their relatives.
As a result, villagers who resented being labelled as criminals, disobeyed the order. Residents of Perungamanallur were the first to oppose registration. Residents of Kaalappanpatti and Kaniyampatti joined them in the protest, which resulted in the firing. Soon the resistance spread to nearby villages like Melaurappanur, Poosalapuram and Sorikampatti. In the melee, scores of protestors were killed. “As per Government record, only 12 persons including one woman named Mayakkal were killed,” says Su.Venkatesan, who has authored a 1300-page novel, ‘Kaaval Kottam', dealing with life in Madurai region.
But the pillar has 16 names engraved on it. Probably many who got shot might were killed while fleeing, he says, adding that 63 people were subsequently arrested and tortured.
After realising that it was impossible to subjugate the people with force, the Government decided to implement welfare measures. It established schools, and introduced the Kallar Common Fund and the Kallar Panchayat System.
As expected, the memory of the massacre has now faded.
Recognising the importance of the village and massacre in the history of south India, Narayanaswamy Naidu of Tamil Nadu Farmers Association, in 1984, took out a farmers rally from the village. Only after that Perungamanallur came under the spotlight, remembers Venkatesan.
In 1991, Muthu Karrupa Thevar paid homage to martyrs and took the initiative of constructing a pillar in their memory, says Venkatesan.
Lawyer Sundara Vandhiya Thevan, who is carrying out research on Piramalaikallars, says the massacre victims were mass-buried at Punnaipatti near Usilampatti. “Now there is no trace of the mass burial, though some people claim to have installed a memory stone”, he adds.
Kasi Mayan, a villager, says: “The incident took place in the interior part of the village. For the sake of visibility, the villagers have constructed the pillar on the main road.” The old police stations still stand at Sindhupatti and Poosalapuram, telling the tales of a tragedy.

Would you please stop the edit war? It was argued on Margaret's talk page whether she should have her own article. The main reason for keeping it was that she wrote an autobiography. Anyway, you can hardly call her a writer. P.S. Basically, Margo's only merit was to be portrayed (in a highly fictionalized manner) in Gerald Durrell's books, two TV adaptations and one movie. Other than that, nobody knows her. Pointing out (let alone in the lead) that Lawrence is Margaret's brother is hardly necessary; it's like saying that he was Nancy Myers's first husband. P.P.S. The same is true of their mother, who also has an article. Note that their father has an article, too. Does it mean we should mention (in the lead) that Lawrence (as well as Gerald) was their son? I don't think so. Taurus Littrow (talk) 14:14, 2 January 2021 (UTC)
Edit on Roman Egypt
Firstly, thank you for your tireless fixing of my errors, especially the duplicate words I appear to enjoy leaving about, you're doing an indispensable job!
But this edit was not right: the plural of metropolis is "metropoleis" (cf. "necropolis", "necropoleis") and the people living there are called "metropolites". Too much Greek inflection I guess? Do you think this not simple enough for the lead? I suppose it looks as if it's a spelling mistake; if so it's probably not clear enough for the reader and I'll have to rephrase it! GPinkerton (talk) 22:50, 2 January 2021 (UTC)
- I note Wiktionary describes this plural form as "rare" (not what I would have thought!), but in this case it's a technical term in its original, Hellenistic context ... GPinkerton (talk) 22:55, 2 January 2021 (UTC)
- Hi GPinkerton - It's all Greek to me - but joking aside, I went to the article because it came up in my search for "a an", which I corrected, during which my spellcheck highlighted the other words I changed.
If the use is "rare", and it is not recognised by spellcheckers, I suspect I will not be the only person changing it so maybe a rewording would be appropriate. I don't agree with "dumbing down" and technical terms are fine in technical articles, but Roman Egypt is a general article that will be read by the general public, probably including a lot of schoolchildren, so I think it needs to be pitched at that readership. Best wishes - Arjayay (talk) 10:50, 3 January 2021 (UTC)

About Allophilia and Todd L. Pittinsky
Sorry I just realized that there was a message from you. I'm Aji, a new wikipedia user who doesn't know anything yet. I was commissioned by Prof. Todd L. Pittinsky to build him a Wikipedia Page and link it to Allophillia.
I really don't understand the mechanism of moving pages from draft to main article. Some sources say that I need to be an autoconfirmed user, I have already checked my contribution and I should have been autoconfirmed. However, the option to move page to article has not yet appeared. Then now the information appears that you have to wait about 3 months to move to the main article / delete the draft article. Do you have any suggestions or can help me, so that I can immediately connect Prof. Draft: Todd L. Pittinsky's page with Allophilia's Pages? User:Bernardusaji
Best regards, — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bernardusaji (talk • contribs) 10:00, 5 January 2021 (UTC)
- User:Bernardusaji, this raises two major problems
Firstly, you have a clear WP:Conflict of interest, so should not be editing that page,
More importantly you are breaking Wikipedia's terms of use, as you have not issued a WP:Paid-contribution disclosure although you were "commissioned by Prof. Todd L. Pittinsky".
Please read both the articles connected by the blue links and follow the instructions therein - thank you - Arjayay (talk) 11:44, 5 January 2021 (UTC)
@Arjayay: Well, thanks for the suggestion. I've read what you have listed and put several contexts on the talk page.
Should be underline that neither Prof Pittinsky and I were knowing this kind of policy.
Its main purpose is to connect the Allophillia article's link with Prof Pittinsky's page because his name is listed.
There is no bad intention at all from us.
If this was wrong from the start, is there any suggestion from you? I have absolutely no problem if I am not directly allowed to edit the article again. I will inform Prof Pittinsky about the Wikipedia regulation.
How to find the right editor so that this page can be published without crossing the Wikipedia COI regulation.
The sources on Prof. Pittinsky's page are also credible, the same as his campus profile. There is no intention of exaggerating anything.
If you allow, is it permissible for the writing you provide on the talk page of Prof. Todd's page to be deleted first so that the article creation can be straightened out without giving any public embarrassment?. Bernardusaji (talk) 13:46, 5 January 2021 (UTC)
- Bernardusaji the need for a WP:Paid-contribution disclosure was clearly explained to you above, but you have continued editing without making the required disclosure - I'm not sure if you tried at Draft talk:Todd L. Pittinsky, but that is not how to do it. Please do that before making any otheredits.
In addition. do not remove other editors posts from talk pages, especially the post where I provided evidence of your COI editing - thus providing another example of your COI editing. - Arjayay (talk) 15:36, 5 January 2021 (UTC)

September 1971
While I appreciate the same frustrations you have with "attributions" to some guy who happened to take a photo of a landmark, it's a requirement on use of some of the illustrations. Chances are that any of the photos you click on that might have a silly attribution will also have language that says
"This file is licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 Unported license. You are free: to share – to copy, distribute and transmit the work; to remix – to adapt the work; Under the following conditions: attribution – You must give appropriate credit, provide a link to the license, and indicate if changes were made. You may do so in any reasonable manner, but not in any way that suggests the licensor endorses you or your use.
If you can point to some change in policy that voids that requirement, please let me know.
I didn't make the rules, I just gotta live with them. Mandsford 17:51, 8 January 2021 (UTC)
- Hi Mafilendsford Those attributions are made on the "File" page - with all the other details about the image - NOT in each and every article that the image is added to - I very much doubt you have seen a "link to the license" (one of the requirements you have listed above) under an image in any article, because these details are covered on the image's "File" page which is deemed a "reasonable manner".
Somewhere there is a guideline about this, although I can't find it at the moment. That guideline allows credit to be given under an image in an article when the photographer is notable enough to have their own article - I'll keep looking for that guideline - unless a Wikipedia:Talk page stalker can help in the meantime - Arjayay (talk) 18:08, 8 January 2021 (UTC)- Hi Mafilendsford - I've found it - it is MOS:CREDITS
- Unless relevant to the subject, do not credit the image author or copyright holder in the article. It is assumed that this is not necessary to fulfill attribution requirements of the GFDL or Creative Commons licenses as long as the appropriate credit is on the image description page. If the artist or photographer is independently notable, though, then a wikilink to the artist's biography may be appropriate, but image credits in the infobox image are discouraged, even if the artist is notable, since the infobox should only contain key facts of the article's subject, per MOS:INFOBOX.
- I think that covers my deletions - Arjayay (talk) 18:18, 8 January 2021 (UTC)

List of miscellaneous fictional animals
Dear Arjayay,
I'm sorry for the late reply. I haven't been on Wikipedia for several days now. I also apologize for posting my draft on the eponymous page mentioned above. I was wondering if it was okay for me to classify the whales, dolphins, and porpoises under "Cetaceans" though, since they are? I was also wondering if it was okay for me to remove them from the "Carnivorans" section because they do not belong with the Carnivora family. Also, last question, where can I advertise my draft to get better feedback about it?
Thanks.

Birth Day Confirmation
Hello Arjayay This is Adnan I want to tell you that the mehwish hayat Birth Year is 1988 From the recently Sources from website and from her Official Twitter Account The Birth year is Mentioned 1988 as you can see here https://twitter.com/MehwishHayat So i think we need to added the Correct Birth Year And also recently i got the Two New Sources from websites [1] And [2] so kindly please help me at this matter Thanks
- User:Itsadnanhere - Firstly, please sign all posts on talk pages with 4 tildes ( ~~~~ ) which will add your signature and a timestamp
As for Mehwish Hayat 's age - what you are linking to are self published sources - Twitter and Instagram - whereas Wikipedia uses reliable, Independent, sources
As discussed at Talk:Mehwish Hayat she suddenly appears to be claiming she is five years younger than she did in older, reliable, Independent, sources i.e. Pakistan Today and Gulf News
It is not uncommon for actresses, musicians and models to "change" their ages - Wikipedia uses the reliable, Independent, sources, not what the artist, or their agents, would like us to believe - Arjayay (talk) 10:45, 9 January 2021 (UTC)

Young brothers (Angus, Malcolm, George), Bon Scott and Dave Evans
What is the problem on leaving the nationalities the way they are? If they're only described as Australian, then they should be Australian born, but they're not. So, I think it's important to leave their description as Scottish-born Australians (in Scott's and Young's case) or Welsh-born Australian (in Dave Evans' case). And plus, George's birthplace is incorrect. He wasn't born in Bridgeton. He was born in Cranhill. TheSilkyAnteater (talk) 16:07, 17 January 2021 (UTC)
There is more. John Paul Young is described as Scottish-born Australian one his page. So what stops to Young brothers or Bon Scott to be described like this? TheSilkyAnteater (talk) 16:09, 17 January 2021 (UTC)

Hey Arjayay, I saw that edit of yours. That range, 45.190.136.0/22, was blocked by Graham87 (sorry, Graham, I don't know what makes that easily readable or clickable for you and me), and I see now that I can block 2804:1810:E000:0:0:0:0:0/36 without any collateral damage. I wonder if Binksternet has dealt with this one. Drmies (talk) 16:11, 17 January 2021 (UTC)

- Graham87, you're pretty clever: can you tweak the range of that 45.190 block to include the one just mentioned by Binksternet? Binksternet, thanks--I knew you'd know. I ran CU but that didn't give me anything new, no other accounts.

Images of Evry Cathedral
Help! I need your advice. I'm trying to expand the article on Évry Cathedral, the only 20th century built in France, and add images. The text is easy, because I have good sources, but images ae difficult, because the church was built in the 1980s. Somehow the French Wikipedia article has images, but there are none at all available in Wikimedia Commons, due to the recent date of the cathedral and a block on images. The only image on Commons shows the building in the distance, almost hidden by fog. For that reason I tried to direct people to the French Wikipedia so they could see what the church actually looks like. Do you have any idea how to deal with this? It's weird that images can be posted on the French Wikipedia but not on the one in English.
Many thanks for your good work, and your advice. Cordially, SiefkinDR (talk) 17:43, 22 January 2021 (UTC)
- Hi SiefkinDR - Thanks for the post, but I am not an expert on images.
I know French copyright laws restrict "freedom of panorama", but I've not seen a Wikipedia notice like that on those images in Fr.Wikipedia - it seems bizarre that they are allowed in France, which has such a restriction, but not in countries that do not have such a restriction.
Equally, Google images reproduces them, without comment. You could go through a google image search, frame by frame, to see if any have the correct licencing - but that could be a long and unproductive exercise.
I don't know who to ask - I used to ask User:Yunshui about images but he suddenly stopped editing on 16 June 2020, although I think there are still WP:Talk page stalkers watching his talk page, so it might be worth an ask.
Alternatively, you could ask the question at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions to see if they have a "work around", or can suggest where copyright free images are available. - Sorry that's the best I can suggest - Arjayay (talk) 18:12, 22 January 2021 (UTC)
I agree with you. Drmies (talk) 17:48, 20 January 2021 (UTC)

List of online payment service providers
Hello,
I have inserted a new name of a payment provider (Paysera) into the list of online payment service providers. Your decision to remove this record as there is none article about Paysera on Wikipedia is very clear.
Just a quick note. There is a draft article about this fintech: https://wiki.riteme.site/wiki/Draft:Paysera . The article was re-submitted more than a month ago and now waits for an editor view. Maybe you, as an editor, could review it? This would help to have a stand-alone article which - when finished - could be included in the list of online payment service providers.

Healdsburg Historic Landmarks
I am at a loss on why a Healdsburg article is such a concern to editors. The work to identify hundreds of historic site and to then identify a dozen plus to be put on its formal Designated Historic Structures list was done by the City of Healdsburg and the City Council. This is well documented on several lists formally published by the City of Healdsburg --online and in print. Then, the official City Council Resolutions have been pulled from the paper documents. And, more newspaper articles and other official City web links have been documented. Healdsburg has chosen to use the term Designated Historic Structures rather than Historical Landmark or some other term. Yet, Wikipedia editors want this article crushed. The work done by Healdsburg officials seems no less important than that done by hundreds or thousands of cities across the USA.MikeVdP (talk) 17:33, 14 February 2021 (UTC)
- MikeVdP I have no interest in the subject whatsoever. My interest in in upholding the guideline DRAFTNOLINK, which clearly states "do not link to pages outside the article namespace". All links to draft articles, user pages, sandboxes etc. in actual articles, contravene this, and are, therefore, removed. Shortly there should be an automatic block on the addition of links to drafts, which will make this task easier. Best wishes - Arjayay (talk) 17:53, 14 February 2021 (UTC)

Thiruvarur
While I'm certain you had best intentions with your recent edit to Thiruvarur, it couldn't exactly be helpful as no edits by either of the two users (Vignesh Doss and Shakthi2803), one of whom you warned, have been contributive. Both users have been making alternating and often opposing edits in a kind of edit war since my last effort to cleanup at the part of the article here. I don't believe any of the 30-some additions by either since then had been sourced or constructive. For example, one user may add something about buses, which is unsourced, which will then be changed by the other to their preferred version, and will also add a totally unsourced extra 100,000 to the population figure. I wouldn't really care about any edit that just perpetuated this cycle, since its no substantive change to absolute quality either way, but your magnanimous presence on the edit history gave me hope. I am not skilled or patient enough to deal with the manual reversions necessary to return the article to my latest revision, if such efforts are only immediately counteracted by 30 messy edits from two users in two days. However, I would beg for your assistance in doing so, and not having them be erased by the two users, to start restoring a GA-rated article to actually being good. Thank you. Starkenborgher (talk) 19:09, 18 February 2021 (UTC)
- Hi Starkenborgher thanks for your post.
I could see there was a lot of edit warring going on, and based on the few edits I looked at in detail, I thought one editor seemed better than the other.
Having now looked at their edits more closely, I see they are following each other around a number of articles. I wondered if they might be one and the same person using two accounts, so I looked at the Editor Interaction Analyser and their interactive timeline. Vignesh Doss has (currently) edited all the articles first and all 66 of his edits are to those 7 articles, while Shakthi2803 has edited the articles second and all of his 84 edits were to exactly the same 7 articles.
I have reverted Thiruvarur back to your last version and will look at the other articles later. - Best wishes - Arjayay (talk) 19:48, 18 February 2021 (UTC)- Hi Starkenborgher - as you may have seen User:Shakthi2803 has now been indeffed - Arjayay (talk) 21:55, 18 February 2021 (UTC)

- The original guideline did not include infoboxes. However, you are correct, I was unaware of the RfC on Indicscript in infoboxes of April 2017 that changed the rule from "one" to "zero". I do note that not having the native name for a place often makes identifications in sources difficult. If the various Indian language Wikipedias were more complete, that would be less of a problem. And in many cases I can go back to the pre-April 2017 articles to find the appropriate name. Thank you for your time in replying. --Bejnar (talk) 20:11, 20 February 2021 (UTC)

Before we go any further, please understand that Wikipedia only has articles about "notable" subjects, not about anything and everything. The general requirements are at WP:GNG, or summarised at WP:42
Your draft Draft:Kentucky Route 6161 is about a " 0.07mi (0.12 km) supplemental road. in the City of Louisville."
I don't know anything about Kentucky Route 6161, but I cannot imagine that this road has received "significant coverage" e.g. an article in a national newspaper or magazine, or chapter in a book, a TV programme, a section on a notable, independent, website, or in any other form. Without such "significant coverage" your article will simply not be accepted, so I suggest you don't waste any more time on it.
Sorry to have to be so blunt, but I have seen too many editors who ignored this basic principle getting frustrated - best wishes - Arjayay (talk) 18:46, 2 March 2021 (UTC)

- This is the discussion page for an anonymous user who has not created an account yet, or who does not use it. We therefore have to use the numerical IP address to identify them.

If you are an anonymous user and feel that irrelevant comments have been directed at you, please create an account or log in to avoid future confusion with other anonymous users
- Someone using that IP address vandalized our pages, whether that was you or not, only you will know. The way to avoid warnings meant for other people is to create an account, and either stay logged in or login in every time you edit.

Guff
Hi,
Regarding the INSEEC Business School article, may you please let me know what do you define as "guff"? You added a banner about "puffery and guff", so I assume that you do.
Incidentally, I am quite shocked about the use of "guff". It is insulting regarding French culture. Have you read Montaigne, René Descartes and analyzed their influence on the Grande Ecole system to be able to say that?
This leads to the question: How should I edit this section to get rid of this banner then? I should describe this Buiness School as: barren, purely pragmatic and with no history or humanist values? And thus, when you do some anthropological, sociological and philosophical research about a Business School precepts, therefore, it's guff.
The content which you may qualify as "puffery and guff" is certainly the section about the honestus clerus, which doesn't infringe any copyrights, and is verifiable. Correct?
To me it seems like there is room for interpretation. Shall there be a section in Wikipedia's codex defining "guff", I will be happy to be enlightened.
I will be equally happy to know what are the criteria to get rid of "guff".
Thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Onna Bugeisha 2020 (talk • contribs) 08:45, 3 March 2021 (UTC)
- Hello Onna Bugeisha 2020
I see you have posted similar comments at 4 user-pages, all of very experienced users, and since than your most recent edit was reverted by another experienced user. Consensus is against you.
You have, however, failed to address the question of your Conflict of interest and follow the appropriate guidelines
The INSEEC Business School is highly promotional, reading more like a prospectus than an encyclopedia article, and breaks numerous Wikipedia Manual of style guidelines - please see MOS:Bold and WP:IMAGESIZE as examples.
The article should be solely about INSEEC Business School, not about the Grande école system, which already has its own article, the "Values" section appears similar to a Mission statement which are to be avoided, WP:WPSCH/AG#NPOV covers colleges as well as schools, and you should also read Wikipedia:Avoid academic boosterism
The detailed curricula details and "fame by association" details of other institutions which make make it read like a prospectus.
- To answer your question I should describe this Buiness School as: barren, purely pragmatic and with no history or humanist values? generally, yes, but we would accept a history specifically of this business school. Frankly, I cannot imaging many, if any, readers struggling their way through such a long and digressive article. Before proceeding further please address the Conflict of interest question.
I am currently moving house so am unable to help / comment further - best wishes - Arjayay (talk) 11:07, 3 March 2021 (UTC)
- Thank you for your answer
How can I reply to the conflict of interest? → I noticed that among Grande Ecole Business Schools, INSEEC had one of the worst articles on Wikipedia, hence I wanted to modify it. Would it be OK to migrate general Grande Ecole values and structure to the Grande Ecole article? → It would need edition too. Thank you for citing some excerpts from the Wikipedia codex, I will study them. I will make the values part lighter and more specific to INSEEC. Should I remove the academic programmes too?

- @Onna Bugeisha 2020: Forgive me, I'm not Arjayay, but they mentioned they are busy moving and cannot help you further, so I thought I would jump in and answer one of your questions. Arjayay has left instructions on your user talk page on how to declare a conflict of interest (COI) - please read through that message and follow those steps before editing any further. If you don't have a conflict of interest, you can reply to Arjayay's message on your user talk page saying so. If you do, please read Wikipedia:Conflict of interest#How to disclose a COI. If that page doesn't make sense, ask for help at The Teahouse, which is a place for newcomers to ask questions. It's best to add the
{{UserboxCOI}}
template (or the{{connected contributor (paid)}}
template, if you are being paid / compensated in some way for your editing) to your user page if you have a COI. Those steps are explained in the section "How to disclose a COI" that I linked above. Hope this helps - Whisperjanes (talk) 23:07, 5 March 2021 (UTC)- Thanks Whisperjanes - beautifully explained - I may well re-use that explanation myself - thanks again - Arjayay (talk) 11:14, 6 March 2021 (UTC)

- Aycharumann I have already removed the "references" citing Wikipedia and IMDB. You need to change the External links into references, and insert them immediately after the information they are supporting, possibly in several places as there is a lot of information to support.
Although you have made a lot of edits, you seem rather unclear on this - please see Wikipedia:Citing sources particularly WP:REFNAME - Best wishes - Arjayay (talk) 15:52, 6 March 2021 (UTC)
Because you thanked me
Arjayay, you thanked me for one of my recent edits, so here is a heart-felt... YOU'RE WELCOME! It's a pleasure, and I hope you have a lot of fun while you edit this inspiring encyclopedia phenomenon! DoebLoggs (talk) |
