July 2018

Hello. Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia.

When editing Wikipedia, there is a field labeled "Edit summary" below the main edit box. It looks like this:

Edit summary (Briefly describe your changes)

I noticed your recent edit to Sanskrit does not have an edit summary. Please be sure to provide a summary of every edit you make, even if you write only the briefest of summaries. The summaries are very helpful to people browsing an article's history.

Edit summary content is visible in:

• User contributions
• Recent changes
• Watchlists
• Revision differences
• IRC channels
• Related changes
• New pages list
• Article editing history

Please use the edit summary to explain your reasoning for the edit, or a summary of what the edit changes. You can give yourself a reminder to add an edit summary by setting Preferences → Editing → Prompt me when entering a blank edit summary. Please discuss contentious content on the article's talk page.

Source misrepresenation/extrapolation

MaduraiSelvam, I reviewed some of your recent edits and found many of them misrepresenting the sources you cite, or to be generous, greatly extrapolate from them. For instance, on the Kuravar page, you added the following content (which you have also added to a number of other articles):

Vedic beliefs written in Sanskrit and its associated languages, who migrated into Indian subcontinent has referred the Tamil communities - native of Indian subcontinent - as castes and categorized them into the pyramid of caste system according to their own beliefs. The native Indian societies including Tamils were subjected by the Social stratification and later was used by the British administration as well.

citing this article published in Science magazine. However, the Science article is focused on the debate over the geographic origins of the Indo-European languages in Anatolia vs steppes. It, says nothing about caste system in general, or how it was imposed upon the Tamils by the immigrants' Vedic beliefs or by the British. Can you explain what is going on?

Please read all the back references and understand how the western and north Indian historian has used mythological stories to describe Indian history. This publication and few more in the recent past has opened eye about the mythology and origin of Sanskrit in Middle eastern along with other Indo-European languages. Especially since Sanskrit language did not have a script till 14th century, rest of the history is obvious. It is not extrapolated please read the following papers and understand the truth.

MaduraiSelvam, if you wish to edit and discuss matters productively, please make a concrete, discrete statement and then cite a source that supports it specifically. Just throwing together a bunch of sources that are largely orthogonal to the content you added to mainspace, is not useful. Abecedare (talk) 04:12, 6 July 2018 (UTC)

talk As you had claimed that my input were extrapolated you need to have some experience in the research review to make such comments or knowledge to evaluate a situation. Please do not mix your mythological belief to historical facts. DO NOT MIX THE STORIES YOU HEAR FROM MYTHOLOGY TO HISTORICAL FACTS.

ARBIPA sanctions alert

This message contains important information about an administrative situation on Wikipedia. It does not imply any misconduct regarding your own contributions to date.

Please carefully read this information:

The Arbitration Committee has authorised discretionary sanctions to be used for pages regarding India, Pakistan, and Afghanistan, a topic which you have edited. The Committee's decision is here.

Discretionary sanctions is a system of conduct regulation designed to minimize disruption to controversial topics. This means uninvolved administrators can impose sanctions for edits relating to the topic that do not adhere to the purpose of Wikipedia, our standards of behavior, or relevant policies. Administrators may impose sanctions such as editing restrictions, bans, or blocks. This message is to notify you that sanctions are authorised for the topic you are editing. Before continuing to edit this topic, please familiarise yourself with the discretionary sanctions system. Don't hesitate to contact me or another editor if you have any questions.

Kautilya3 (talk) 14:16, 6 July 2018 (UTC)

I believe you are being victimised largely because English is not your mother tongue thus making this whole environment appear so much more hostile than it need have been. Rather than deride, denigrate and disparage, these more experienced editors should be offering advice, guiding you and suggesting sources of assistance, like translators for example. It's as if they want you to fail, they want you to get frustrated and react, so then they can post warnings, threats and impose sanctions... because those are really the only power they have. If you believe you are right and have something to contribute, then persevere 82.30.110.20 (talk) 04:40, 17 July 2018 (UTC)

Teahouse Invitation

Hello! MaduraiSelvam, you are invited to the Teahouse, a forum on Wikipedia for new editors to ask questions about editing Wikipedia, and get support from peers and experienced editors. Please join us! Pharaoh of the Wizards (talk) 19:11, 14 July 2018 (UTC)

Discretionary sanctions notice (refresh)

This is a standard message to notify contributors about an administrative ruling in effect. It does not imply that there are any issues with your contributions to date.

You have shown interest in India, Pakistan, and Afghanistan. Due to past disruption in this topic area, a more stringent set of rules called discretionary sanctions is in effect. Any administrator may impose sanctions on editors who do not strictly follow Wikipedia's policies, or the page-specific restrictions, when making edits related to the topic.

For additional information, please see the guidance on discretionary sanctions and the Arbitration Committee's decision here. If you have any questions, or any doubts regarding what edits are appropriate, you are welcome to discuss them with me or any other editor.

Hinduism is a politicized definition of number of religious beliefs that was coined by British empire when ruling various kingdoms in the indian subcontinent. Temple belonging to a religion at the time of its construction should be referred to that religious; it cannot be twisted as written as something that is politically motivated. MaduraiSelvam (talk) 01:04, 18 March 2020 (UTC)

Hinduism/Shaivism/etc.

Hi. Is there any particular reason you're replacing Hinduism with Shaivism or Vishuism? You will need to find reliable sources these as the correct names for the Hindu religion, and should definitely discuss changes of this level on article talk pages first. For that reason, and without passing judgement on your edits, I'm reverting your recent changes. Best wishes. --regentspark (comment) 15:19, 16 March 2020 (UTC)

Hello sir, yes Shaivism and Vaishnavism are religious beliefs and had been in practice for thousands of years and the word Hinduism coined by British for political administration from 18 or 19th century. By referring to a word that is just 100 years old, diminishes the ancient history of religious practices of Indians. Hope you understand that mixing chronological antiquity of religious belief is not correct. maduraiselvam

I am afraid that is not good enough a reason. Picking up this edit for an example, I would point out the following problems:

• There is no edit summary.
• There is no appeal to reliable sources, either existing sources or new ones.
• Wikipedia is written for contemporary readers using contemporary language. So, even if it was originally Shaivite temple, it may still need to be called a "Hindu temple" in present day language. This is especially the case in the MOS:LEAD which is a high-level summary meant for non-specialist readers. So, technical accuracy is not warranted here, but rather understandability.

You definitely need to correct these problems as you go forward. Otherwise, such edits would be considered WP:POV and tendentious. -- Kautilya3 (talk) 18:24, 16 March 2020 (UTC)

March 2020

Please stop your disruptive editing.

• If you are engaged in an article content dispute with another editor, discuss the matter with the editor at their talk page, or the article's talk page, and seek consensus with them. Alternatively you can read Wikipedia's dispute resolution page, and ask for independent help at one of the relevant noticeboards.
• If you are engaged in any other form of dispute that is not covered on the dispute resolution page, seek assistance at Wikipedia's Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents.

If you continue to disrupt Wikipedia, you may be blocked from editing. Gotitbro (talk) 09:38, 24 March 2020 (UTC)

Hello can you please explain what happened? I this is a racial abuse of someone against me? MaduraiSelvam (talk) 02:40, 25 March 2020 (UTC)

Sockpuppet investigation

An editor has opened an investigation into sockpuppetry by you. Sockpuppetry is the use of more than one Wikipedia account in a manner that contravenes community policy. The investigation is being held at Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/MaduraiSelvam, where the editor who opened the investigation has presented their evidence. Please make sure you make yourself familiar with the guide to responding to investigations, and then feel free to offer your own evidence or to submit comments that you wish to be considered by the Wikipedia administrator who decides the result of the investigation. If you have been using multiple accounts (in a manner contrary to Wikipedia policy), please go to the investigation page and verify that now. Leniency is usually shown to those who promise not to do so again, or who did so unwittingly, but the abuse of multiple accounts is taken very seriously by the Wikipedia community.

September 2023

Please stop attacking other editors, as you did on User talk:RegentsPark. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing. Comment on content, not on other contributors or people. Doug Weller talk 07:49, 26 September 2023 (UTC)

Please go through content moderation on various contributor from other communities. There seems to be a strong beliefs and political opinions of his own interfering other people of different Indian languages, religions and cultures. This is seen as a caste system in India but didn’t expect it in America. MaduraiSelvam (talk) 08:43, 26 September 2023 (UTC)

No more personal attacks or I'll blocked. If you think someone is vandalising, go to WP:ANI. Doug Weller talk 10:10, 26 September 2023 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for March 2

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Madura Mission, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Pandiyan.

Looks like there are moderators injecting propaganda about Indian history written by caste supremacist projected by people supporting the caste system in India and trying to protect their stories in Wikipedia. MaduraiSelvam (talk) 18:17, 2 March 2024 (UTC)
