- Editing tutorial
- Picture tutorial
- How to write a great article
- Naming conventions
- Simplified Manual of Style
- Please bear these points in mind while editing Wikipedia
- Respect copyrights – do not copy and paste text or images directly from other websites.
- Maintain a neutral point of view – this is one of Wikipedia's core policies.
- Take particular care while adding biographical material about a living person to any Wikipedia page and follow Wikipedia's Biography of Living Persons policy. Particularly, controversial and negative statements should be referenced with multiple reliable sources.
- No edit warring or sock puppetry.
- If you are testing, please use the Sandbox to do so.
- Do not add troublesome content to any article, such as: copyrighted text, libel, advertising or promotional messages, and text that is not related to an article's subject. Deliberately adding such content or otherwise editing articles maliciously is considered vandalism; doing so will result in your account or IP being blocked from editing.
- Do not use talk pages as discussion or forum pages as Wikipedia is not a forum.
The Wikipedia tutorial is a good place to start learning about Wikipedia. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my talk page. By the way, you can sign your name on Talk and discussion pages using four tildes, like this: ~~~~ (the software will replace them with your signature and the date). Again, welcome!

- Dear Kautilya, Thank your for the warm welcoming :) I shall go through those links and thank you very much for the hints! --AryaBharatiya (talk) 17:25, 15 June 2015 (UTC)
- Glad to see that you are taking a break from your argumentation today. Here are some tips. In order to win debates on Wikipedia, you need to learn to be more succinct. About 4-5 lines is the normal size of a comment on a talk page. Any observers need to be able to quickly get a sense of what everybody is saying. You also need to learn enough about Wikipedia policies. They form the foundation on which decisions are made. Reliable sources, from established scholars, are everything. You shouldn't disparage them, no matter how wrong you think they are. Your own opinions count for little on Wikipedia. It is the scholar's opinions that count.

Hi Kautilya!
I finally decided to take some sleep today after the busy discussions :)
Thank you for the tips.Although I am not here to 'win' debates,but just to suggest some modifications to the article.As I said I'm not a scholar and I do not even have the qualifications of other youngsters of my age(most of them would be pursuing for post graduation courses) since I have not went to school after 7th grade(though I have privately written 10th exams and passed by studying for 2 months last year).So my arguments may have faults,but I base my arguments on the recent papers by reputed authors which I have cited in my arguments.Obviously,those scholars have more information about what they are saying than I do.
For 4-5 lines,there is nothing I can do,it is just my style to post detailed arguments.Anyway I shall try my best to compress my posts.I am just getting used to the Wiki,but I already know that Wikipedia relies on arguments from published scholars.But again,I do not have my own opinions and I simply quote the published authors.I am also in touch with many Sanskritists and Indologists,they too question the mainstream theories.
PS- Not relevant to our current discussion,but I find the mention of 'matrilineal' system on your user page interesting,since I myself am from a historical matrilineal community who still follow matrilineal aspects!
Best wishes, --AryaBharatiya (talk) 10:07, 17 June 2015 (UTC)
Hey
editHey AryaBharatiya. I found it rather curious that you claimed to be part of the Nair community, but had applied comments that strongly supported the anti-Nair part of the Nair article with some acknowledgement not given by any other person of opposing viewpoint in the discussion. The claiming in multiple instances that you were part of the Nair community is also rather interesting...I am not accusing you of anything, but please keep any prejudiced intentions away from Wikipedia as something doesn't feel..right..Thanks, Kanchipuramsilk83 (talk) 22:27, 14 August 2015 (UTC)
- Hi Kanchipuramsilk83,yes I am a Nair.I don't see any anti-Nair views in the article and in fact it rightfully states that Nairs were the dominant caste which corresponds to the Kshatriyas of north and which had control over Kerala for many centuries(a fact people with anti-Nair views would never acknowledge).--AryaBharatiya (talk) 15:25, 16 August 2015 (UTC)
