there is a line linking a "tamil brahmin madisar" to the clothing of "dravidian women". there are no links to a tamil brahmin, who follow indo aryan culture, to that of the native dravidian people. adopting a sari does not make them "dravidian". genetic studies also disagree.

Wikipedia is not a place for "ethnic cleansing"; people are generally identified as those speaking a particular language or following a particular culture for generations and identify themselves as belonging to that group; this can even override any genetic analysis. It's just whatever the sources say. Rasnaboy (talk) 04:33, 24 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Copied and pasted messages don't work buddy, you need to stop pushing your offensive and dominant ideologies on others' who want nothing to do with you. Temporary 1010 (talk) 23:37, 28 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Are all Central Dravidian (Kolami–Parji), North Dravidian (Brahui-Kurukh), Gondi-Kui languages speakers considered as sheduled tribes in India? Kaiyr (talk) 08:15, 3 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Fylindfotberserk:, @Joshua Jonathan:, @Doug Weller: Can you please review these recent changes: [1]. Thought of restoring User:Fylindfotberserk's version [2] as on 5 April 2024. Checking with others to be doubly sure. Rasnaboy (talk) 06:54, 29 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Rasnaboy: Yeah, I see a lot of unnecessary and WP:OR stuff. It is not a "ethnicity" (supra- or otherwise). It is a collection of ethno-linguistic groups that are tehmselves diverse. You can restore this version and start from there if necessary. - Fylindfotberserk (talk) 11:18, 29 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you, @Fylindfotberserk:. Done. Rasnaboy (talk) 12:19, 29 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Glad someone else did it, I'm wiped out. Doug Weller talk 15:44, 29 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The same user now appears to engage in edit warring at Tamil Brahmins ([3], [4], [5]) and Iyer ([6], [7], [8]). I've already reverted their edits twice and warned them on their talk page, but they have vowed to continue with their removal of sourced contents. May require admin intervention.

There is a small mistake around in the dravidian peoples#Dravidian identification where John Marshall the United States founding father is mistaken for John Marshall for the archaeologist. Please replace the link with the statesman with the John Marshall (archaeologist). Rewolrats (talk) 09:19, 21 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

 Done Thanks for pointing that out. - Arjayay (talk) 23:22, 23 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
