Talk:Vanniyar

WARNING: ACTIVE COMMUNITY SANCTIONS The article Vanniyar, along with other pages relating to South Asian social groups, is designated by the community as a contentious topic. The current restrictions are: Consensus required: All editors must obtain consensus on the talk page of this article before reinstating any edits that have been challenged (via reversion). This includes making edits similar to the ones that have been challenged. If in doubt, do not make the edit. Editors who repeatedly or seriously fail to adhere to the purpose of Wikipedia, any expected standards of behaviour, or any normal editorial process may be sanctioned. Remedy instructions and exemptions Enforcement procedures: Violations of any restrictions (excluding 1RR/reverting violations) and other conduct issues should be reported to the administrators' incidents noticeboard. Violations of revert restrictions should be reported to the administrators' edit warring noticeboard. Editors who violate any listed restrictions may be blocked by any uninvolved administrator, even on a first offense. An editor must be aware before they can be sanctioned. With respect to any reverting restrictions: Edits made solely to enforce any clearly established consensus are exempt from all edit-warring restrictions. In order to be considered "clearly established" the consensus must be proven by prior talk-page discussion. Edits made which remove or otherwise change any material placed by clearly established consensus, without first obtaining consensus to do so, may be treated in the same manner as clear vandalism. Clear vandalism of any origin may be reverted without restriction. Reverts of edits made by anonymous (IP) editors that are not vandalism are exempt from the 1RR but are subject to the usual rules on edit warring. If you are in doubt, contact an administrator for assistance. If you are unsure if your edit is appropriate, discuss it here on this talk page first. Remember: When in doubt, don't revert!

Please expand the occupation of Pallis in the article. I am not sure how can I suggest this change in "X to Y" format as I don't know where it will fit. But since castes are mostly stratified by occupations, it is imperative to add it on this article as to what occupations Palli did. Here is an excerpt from a source by Gutenberg : "The Pallis live in separate streets or quarters distinctively known as the Palli teru or Kudi teru (ryots’ quarter). The bulk of them are labourers, but many now farm their own lands, while others are engaged in trade or in Government service. The occupations of

Jamedeus (talk), please look at this.

Sitush (talk) Can you remove the people's name that have been added by user Gowtham Prabhu in the notable people list? Their allegiance to Vanniyar/Pallis is unsourced/poorly sourced compared to Auto Shankar (whom you removed from the list citing the same reason)

Looping in you (t·c), as you have been familiar with the user ( Gowtham Prabhu) I am complaining about. He has added people in the notable list without good source ( most of the source he provided doesn't mention that the people mentioned in the list belong to Vanniyar caste, except Veerappan) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24thHusbandofDraupathi (talk • contribs) 14:49, 22 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Jamedeus (talk), can you look into this? 24thHusbandofDraupathi (talk) 03:21, 1 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

"Palli are ex-hill tribes who formed a solidarity as caste around twelth-thirteenth century in the Chola empire."

Please add this information. As some users asked in history, after a lot of effort, I found the renowned Japanese scientist's work about Palli from this book.

The same source mentions that the Palli women engaged in prostitution. Correct me if I am wrong. 24thHusbandofDraupathi (talk) 17:07, 18 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
