Valid Proof? Not Valid Enough!
So official images from the South Australian Parliament aren’t enough but if it showed up in some random tabloid you’d believe it? Peak Wikipedia wisdom. Manovardhan11 (talk) 13:38, 26 March 2025 (UTC)
- Do you have any valid proof??.Then upload it there. R.COutlander07@talk 14:42, 26 March 2025 (UTC)
- Of course, images from the South Australian Parliament aren't valid until they magically appear in a press release that fits your checklist. Meanwhile, the rest of us live in reality where public honours don’t need Wikipedia’s approval to exist. I’ll upload when I find a source that satisfies your definition of proof.

ambalavasi page
why my additions are not valid though I have provided reliable sources.? Thesharpvoiceoftruth (talk) 08:21, 10 April 2025 (UTC)
- The article pertains to the Ambalavasi caste; however, it includes references to the Veluthedath Nair community, which is a subdivision of the broader Nair caste. Although some individuals from this group may have historically been associated with temple-related occupations, such affiliations do not warrant their inclusion within the context of the Ambalavasi caste. Therefore, any mention of the Veluthedath Nairs in relation to temple service should not be incorporated into an article specifically focused on the Ambalavasi community.R.COutlander07@talk 08:36, 10 April 2025 (UTC)
- If you have any doubt regarding Veluthedath Nair caste belongs to ambalavasi or not, please refer to Kerala Mahathmyam. They were ambalavasis but now part of Nair community. Submission of Thiruvudayaada was a temple custom existed in Kerala at that time. Before judging, please try to understand the real history.
- In that page, For some ambalavasi sections there is no proper reference provided.. It is so unfair to remove my information with proper reference. Thesharpvoiceoftruth (talk) 08:49, 10 April 2025 (UTC)
- We do not cite Hindu Puranas as reliable sources in this context, as they are classified as religious or mythological texts rather than historically verifiable documentation. Furthermore, it is important to emphasize that Wikipedia does not rely on primary religious scriptures or unverifiable sources to establish factual claims. Instead, it adheres strictly to the principles outlined in its core content policies, particularly WP:RS & WP:V. R.COutlander07@talk 09:03, 10 April 2025 (UTC)
- Understand that it is not simply Hindu Purana. It also discusses the creation,division of caste system in Kerala and allocation of duties to different castes. Now I'm sure that you haven't referred that book in detail. Thesharpvoiceoftruth (talk) 09:09, 10 April 2025 (UTC)
- Before engaging in any debate regarding the validity of sources or the inclusion of particular texts, I would strongly urge you to first familiarize yourself with the relevant Wikipedia content policies—specifically those I referenced above. Thanks. R.COutlander07@talk 09:15, 10 April 2025 (UTC)
- Dear friend, each and every caste group in Kerala has a beginning and that beginning is clearly depicted and explained in Kerala Mahathmyam Book. That explains about the beginning and division of caste system and their respective Duties of .It includes Caste Groups Like Ambalavasis and Nairs. Realise that Everything has a beginning. Nothing was sprouted overnight as you think. Seems like you have little knowledge about this caste divisions in kerala.. Don't be so narrow minded brother. I haven't violated any content policy of Wikipedia. If I did so, just point out the fact. But it should be clear. Thesharpvoiceoftruth (talk) 11:40, 10 April 2025 (UTC)
- I clearly Said that Veluthedath Nair is a caste which initially belonged to Ambalavasi group and later merged into Nair community which indicates it was an ambalavasi caste and today it is a Nair caste. Read it carefully so that you can understand what I meant. Once again I'm saying that "Kerala Mahathmyam" is a valid source and each and every caste group and their duties are neatly explained. This is the oldest book which depicts caste division. So, this stands above any other source related to this Topic. Thesharpvoiceoftruth (talk) 11:49, 10 April 2025 (UTC)

Recent Edits in a Page looks suspicious
Hi @Outlander07 , Can you please check and review the recent edits made in the page Ezhava (by a suspicious user) , which i believe dont seems to look good on the page. I see a strong POV push of subgroups in the lede , Also some of the added infos there seems to be removed previously multiple times by editors like sitush (from the edit history), including the exact same pic and claim of separate army in the lede ? can u check ?
