Sources for the GWR 3031 Class Replica

As for my edits, I did provide them. However, if you didn't get them then I would be more than happy to show them. I do sincerely apologize for any past inconveniences. I also do apologize if this looks/comes across as sloppy too, but this is where I got the information from. Thank you for the feedback though.

Kumbh Mela

What happened there? You have rollback rights right? - Fylindfotberserk (talk) 17:24, 29 September 2020 (UTC)

My fingers just slipped through the rollback option by accident. This is what happened at Kumbh Mela. Sorry for the mistake. Outlander^07@talk 11:35, 30 September 2020 (UTC)

Dustin O'Halloran edits reversed

Hi there, Can you please tell me why my edits to Dustin O'Halloran's wiki page were reversed? I work for his management team. Is it possible to undo that action? It takes time to add the new projects again, and put everything into chronological order. Thanks! Blue Weta (talk) 12:11, 7 October 2020 (UTC)

If you think it was a mistake from my side, no issues. Always please keep in mind to provide sources for the content you put in. Thanks Outlander^07@talk 13:27, 7 October 2020 (UTC)

Kiryathil Nairs and Illathu Nairs are both same level or same group

Why you vandalise my articles with refernces. Revert the edits — Preceding unsigned comment added by 103.70.199.26 (talk) 08:30, 8 October 2020 (UTC)

It seems you are on to vandalizing the articles Kiryathil Nairr and Polyandry in India by providing poor or no sources to push your point of views. As far as my knowledge the source 'Brittanica' that you provided is unreliable as per Wikipedia policies, and it will be reverted. Outlander^07@talk 09:23, 8 October 2020 (UTC)

HELLO OUTLANDER7

Hello sir , I am RICK CORNWALLIS who made the Article Ainatu family...... Sir please avoid tagging it for speedy deletion as it is not representing a single family or an individual, But it is representing a small community of Saint Thomas Christians who migrated from Tamil Nadu. No articles are there for this community even when sources and citations are very strong. Kindly recheck the article.

Faithfully ഒരു മലയാളി...... RICK CORNWALLIS (talk) 19:12, 31 October 2020 (UTC)

Hi Outlander07, they have posted a similar message on my talk page so I have answered them there. S0091 (talk) 23:13, 31 October 2020 (UTC)

@S0091: The guy here is a sockpuppeteer. These are some of his sock accounts. തുളുവേശ്വരി, RICK CORNWALLIS, MADHAV DIXT, RAMARAGHAVA IYYER, Ubhayogrithanamam, സംകൃതപമാഗരി, ARAVIND NAMBOOTHIRI, Poiuyananthapuri, VINAYAKA MENON

His sole intention is to highlight/promote some family or a group through Wikipedia by creating an article and citing them with some links as sources. Outlander^07@talk 06:28, 1 November 2020 (UTC)

I actually requested an SPI yesterday but did not know about the other accounts. Have you requested one as well? If so, mine is a duplicate. If not, please do add any additional information you feel will be helpful. Thanks! S0091 (talk) 16:33, 1 November 2020 (UTC)

Fyi, they are now spoofing your username. See the history at Ainatu family, Outlander007. S0091 (talk) 16:42, 1 November 2020 (UTC)

Please go ahead with WP:SPI. I get fed up with this guy after counting his sock accounts. Outlander^07@talk 17:19, 1 November 2020 (UTC)

I understand why, Outlander07. I will plug on with the SPI. S0091 (talk) 17:34, 1 November 2020 (UTC)

Blatant reverts

Do not blatantly revert without explanation, especially when it is disputed. It's a violation of WP:REVEXP and WP:FIES. I had told you to go to talk page on the first instance itself, but you showed a bad gesture by continuing to make unexplained revert triggering edit-war. You never put an explanation in edit summary, and you refuse to use talk page too? You have obligation to explain your actions. What was your problem with [1][2][3][4]? 2409:4073:10C:8F06:3004:8732:1DFB:494B (talk) 11:26, 4 December 2020 (UTC)

Issues on the Kalaripayattu Page

Hey Outlander! I tried to tag you in the Kalaripayattu talk page discussion Infoxbox Parameters, but was unable to do so. That anonymous IP is reverting edits and saying that verified sources on the page are “Cherry picked” because they do not support his POV. He’s also made a large number of pending edits on the page. It is also worth noting I think, that this same IP has a record of being banned from editing, as well as block evasion. Do you think you could join the discussion and take a look at the pending edits? Thanks, KW Kalariwarrior (talk) 14:11, 4 December 2020 (UTC)

Also, it might also be worth noting that in the Kalaripayattu talk page, he has posted his complaint over these reverts under a different IP from the one he has a partial ban and block evasion record on. This is the one he’s partially blocked on: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/2409:4073:380:22F7:B8BC:C04E:4492:B679

This is the one he used to post in the Kalaripayattu talk page: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/157.46.141.57 Kalariwarrior (talk) 14:29, 4 December 2020 (UTC)

Kalariwarrior: Do you even know what is the meaning of POV? Show me a single POV I have added. Talking against POV is a POV? Great intelligence. I have explained in detail about your POV pushing at talk page. First go get familiarize about Wikipedia policies. 2409:4073:2111:5995:29FA:2A73:1601:A75A (talk) 08:30, 9 December 2020 (UTC)

With all due respect, you have a long record of POV based editing in a number of articles, and also have a verifiable history of bans for disruptive editing, as well as block evasion, to your name. For all your citations and implied knowledge of Wikipedia’s policies, you have clearly violated them multiple times, so much so that you have been banned multiple times for doing so. For the record, I have also left many of your changes unchanged if I felt that there was a logical reason behind doing so. I won’t reply to your rude and sarcastic comment, as I have no desire to sink down to that level.

I will merely say this again: Just because a verified source does not agree with your POV does not mean it is a “cherry picked source.” The source I provided for a traditionally held belief is from the official websites of verified, governing bodies of the martial art in question. The fact of the matter is that Kerala’s Kalaripayattu practitioners have not propagated their state’s martial arts as much as they should, so there are not many verifiable sources out there. The sources I provided are among the very few credible sources that are out there. You appear to be in denial of this, and want to deny the validity of credible sources simply because you do not agree with them.

I’m sure Outlander07 along with other editors that you appear to have edit warred with, would agree with me in saying that you are merely a refined POV pusher. Please refrain from using Wikipedia policies and rules to try to push your own POV in editing.

Beware of such inferiority complex driven cyber criminals.

He is playing around in Ip and using vpn.

I'm not in to this street fight with him for obvious reasons.

Get him down immediately. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 1.39.76.58 (talk) 06:41, 27 December 2020 (UTC)

I can't see anything much more problematic in these articles. I think the user might be 99v who is now on logged-out editing. Outlander^07@talk 06:59, 27 December 2020 (UTC)

It says you are the sock. Being involved in sockpuppetry and logged out edit will never be going to help you. Outlander^07@talk 08:42, 27 December 2020 (UTC)

Please help out

Can you please help me with this? It seem that the anonymous editor who posted here on Anarchyte’s talk page about your pending changes rights over a debate on the Kalaripayattu page has now filed a complaint in WP:ANI against me, claiming that I am biased and am using Wikipedia to promote my own views, when this is not the case. You have seen my edits numerous times, especially on the Kalaripayattu page, where he has taken most of the diffs for his report, so I wanted to ask you if you could help in any way with the report he has filed. The report is here. I’d appreciate it if you could help me out. Thanks. Kalariwarrior (talk) 22:09, 2 January 2021 (UTC)

Sir Removed link

Sir all users has been accepted link why did you removed it is 2 months old link and not spam Anilchethackal (talk) 04:25, 30 January 2021 (UTC)

Sorry, no one will allow such spam links on the article's main space. There is no point in providing such links that leads to nothing but conflicts. Wikipedia is not the place for promotions and your edit will be reverted as per WP:REFSPAM, also, remember the Three revert rule and the violation may often lead to a block.Outlander^07@talk 06:16, 30 January 2021 (UTC)

Enquiry, Please reply it's a doubt...

Outlander07, I am talking about The recent edit you did that I noticed in the Wikipedia article Saint Thomas Christians, It is clearly cited in all sources that according to legend Nambudiri Brahmins were converted to Christianity by St Thomas, Then why did you revert my edit in which I had linked "Brahmin" with Nambudiri...???? kindly reply.... AARYA SAJAYAN (talk) 06:37, 16 February 2021 (UTC)

Outlander07, I also noticed the recent edit you committed in the article Caste system in Kerala....As you know Wikipedia is not censored and it should be written in an unbiased tone....It is mentioned in all sources that Majority of the Syrian Christian community trace their origin to Nambudiris, It is even mentioned in the Wikipedia article "Saint Thomas Christians".Then why is it an issue if the Nambudiri conversion Theory is mentioned in the article Caste system in Kerala.... I am very sorry if I am being rude. I'm clearly here to build an encyclopaedia no other intention. I know that you're a senior Wikipedian so kindly reply to the enquiry. Regards — Preceding unsigned comment added by AARYA SAJAYAN (talk • contribs) 06:46, 16 February 2021 (UTC)

I can't find any valid sources cited in the edits that you had made. Do not try to push your point of views in Wikipedia by citing invalid/obsolete links as sources. Outlander^07@talk 16:09, 16 February 2021 (UTC)

Outlander07, Thanks,now I have understood the error from my side....I had taken reliable sources but the problem was my citations were Autocorrected.... Maybe that is where the problem is.... THANKS for your genuine reply Regards AARYA SAJAYAN (talk) 05:33, 17 February 2021 (UTC)
