[edit]
Hi, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you tried to give a page a different title by cutting its content and pasting either the same content, or an edited version of it, into Sirkazhi division. This is known as a "cut-and-paste move", and it is undesirable because it splits the page history, which is legally required for attribution. Instead, the software used by Wikipedia has a feature that allows pages to be moved to a new title together with their edit history.
In most cases for registered users, once your account is four days old and has ten edits, you should be able to move an article yourself using the "Move" tab at the top of the page (the tab may be hidden in a dropdown menu for you). This both preserves the page history intact and automatically creates a redirect from the old title to the new. If you cannot perform a particular page move yourself this way (e.g. because a page already exists at the target title), please follow the instructions at requested moves to have it moved by someone else. Also, if there are any other pages that you moved by copying and pasting, even if it was a long time ago, please list them at Wikipedia:Requests for history merge. Thank you.

- During the GA nomination for the page Mayiladuthurai district, a reviewer commented that the "Notable people badly needs a split" and you can find comments in Talk:Mayiladuthurai district/GA1.

Introduction to contentious topics
[edit]You have recently edited a page related to the region of South Asia (India, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh and Nepal), broadly construed, including but not limited to history, politics, ethnicity, and social groups, a topic designated as contentious. This is a brief introduction to contentious topics and does not imply that there are any issues with your editing.
A special set of rules applies to certain topic areas, which are referred to as contentious topics. These are specially designated topics that tend to attract more persistent disruptive editing than the rest of the project and have been designated as contentious topics by the Arbitration Committee. When editing a contentious topic, Wikipedia's norms and policies are more strictly enforced, and Wikipedia administrators have an expanded level of powers and discretion in order to reduce disruption to the project.
Within contentious topics, editors should edit carefully and constructively, refrain from disrupting the encyclopedia, and:
- adhere to the purposes of Wikipedia;
- comply with all applicable policies and guidelines;
- follow editorial and behavioural best practices;
- comply with any page restrictions in force within the area of conflict; and
- refrain from gaming the system.
Additionally, you must be logged in, have 500 edits, and have an account age of 30 days in order to make edits related to two subtopics: (1) Indian military history, or (2) social groups, explicitly including caste associations and political parties related to India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh and Nepal.
Editors are advised to err on the side of caution if unsure whether making a particular edit is consistent with these expectations. If you have any questions about contentious topics procedures, you may ask them at the arbitration clerks' noticeboard or you may learn more about this contentious topic. You may also choose to note which contentious topics you know about by using the {{Ctopics/aware}} template.

These Tamil literary sources contain traditions concerning Chola campaigns, battles, generals, and military victories, which can be compared with epigraphic evidence. Where the literary accounts are corroborated by inscriptions, they would provide useful additional evidence for the article.

Request to Create a MEDIVAL PANDYAN KING Parantaka Vira naryana wiki page
[edit]Hi, I’m working on a Wikipedia article about the medieval Pandyan king Parantaka Viranarayana Sadaiyan. I have prepared a draft using reliable sources, including K. A. Nilakanta Sastri’s The Pandyan Kingdom, K. V. Raman’s Dalavaypuram Copper Plates, and David Pierdominici Leão’s Breaking the Crown of Indra: The Pāṇḍyas and Their Dynastic Identity in the South Indian Context (2025).
you using this draft as Pandyan king wiki page
'''Parantaka Viranarayana Sadaiyan''' was a ruler of the [[Pandya dynasty]] who ruled in southern India during the late 9th century CE. He was a son of [[Srimara Srivallabha]] and the younger brother of [[Varaguna II]]. The larger [[Sinnamanur copper plates]] describe Parantaka as the younger brother of Varaguna.<ref name="Sinnamanur">{{cite web |title=South Indian Inscriptions, Volume III: Pandya Copper-plate Grants from Sinnamanur |url=https://www.whatisindia.com/inscriptions/south_indian_inscriptions/volume_3/copper_plates_at_tirukkalar.html}}</ref> He was the father of [[Maravarman Rajasimha II]], who succeeded him in the Pandya genealogy recorded in the same inscription.<ref name="Sinnamanur" />
Information about his reign comes principally from Pandya copper-plate grants and inscriptions, particularly the [[Dalavaypuram copper plates]] and the [[Sinnamanur copper plates]]. K. A. Nilakanta Sastri discusses Parantaka Viranarayana and his position in the later Pandya genealogy in ''The Pandyan Kingdom''.<ref name="Sastri78">{{cite book |last=Sastri |first=K. A.

Parantaka Viranarayana was the younger brother of [[Varaguna II]]. The larger Sinnamanur copper plates explicitly describe him as the younger brother of Varaguna and identify [[Maravarman Rajasimha II]] as his son.<ref name="Sinnamanur" />
The chronology of the transition from Varaguna II to Parantaka Viranarayana has been discussed in the historical literature.

== Military activities ==
The [[Dalavaypuram copper plates]] contain an account of military activities attributed to Parantaka Viranarayana. The record mentions fighting at Sennilam and refers to campaigns involving several other places and opponents. The identification of some of the places and persons mentioned in the record remains uncertain.<ref name="Raman10">{{cite book |last=Raman |first=K. V. |url=https://ignca.gov.in/Asi_data/65034.pdf |title=Dalavaypuram Copper Plates |page=10}}</ref>
The larger Sinnamanur copper plates provide additional information about Parantaka's military activities, mentioning fighting at Sennilam, Kharagiri and Pennagadam and the capture of a person named Ugra.<ref name="Sinnamanur" />
David Pierdominici Leão also discusses the Dalavaypuram evidence in the context of the Pandyan dynastic narrative and Parantaka Viranarayana's reign.<ref name="Leao80" />
== Dalavaypuram copper plates ==
The [[Dalavaypuram copper plates]] are an important primary source for the reign of Parantaka Viranarayana. The charter contains Sanskrit and Tamil portions and provides information concerning the Pandya genealogy, royal grants and administration.<ref name="Raman9">{{cite book |last=Raman |first=K. V. |url=https://ignca.gov.in/Asi_data/65034.pdf |title=Dalavaypuram Copper Plates |page=9}}</ref>
The plates are issued in the reign of Parantaka Viranarayana and are important evidence for the study of the Pandya kingdom during the late ninth century. Their contents include genealogical and administrative material as well as references to royal grants.<ref name="Raman9" /><ref name="Leao80" />
== Religious and irrigation patronage ==
The larger Sinnamanur copper plates describe Parantaka as a ruler associated with the establishment of Brahmin settlements, temples and tanks. The inscription therefore provides evidence for royal patronage of religious and irrigation institutions during his reign.<ref name="Sinnamanur" />

The larger Sinnamanur copper plates describe Parantaka as the younger brother of Varaguna and identify Rajasimha as the son of Parantaka and Vanavanmahadevi.<ref name="Sinnamanur" />

[edit]Thanks for your contributions to Mayiladuthurai dry fish market. Unfortunately, I do not think it is ready for publishing as a live article at this time because it needs more sources to establish notability, it has too many problems of language or grammar and it is a poor translation. I have converted it to a draft which you can improve, undisturbed for a while.
