If you check out WP:CITE, it will show you how to properly cite material, including books. If the sources is locked up in government archives like you are stating, and there is no way to get the citation information, then it might not be possible to use it as a source.

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 possibly the most important Wikipedia policy.
Take particular care while adding biographical material about a living person to any Wikipedia page to follow Wikipedia's Biography of Living Persons' policy. Particularly, controversial and negative statements should be referenced with multiple reliable sources.
No edit warring and 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 your account or IP being blocked from editing.

hi,firstly the nadar article has been tagged too because the source is a problem.second this pandyan claim thing should be precise book citations by scholars where it is clearly mentioned.i think the problem arises because there hasn't been any serious research done by genuine scholars on who the descendants of the pandyans actually are.also the parava article needs lot of cleaning see the wiki format on writing good articles especially the tone and style.happy editing.LinguisticGeek 04:17, 14 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

hi between i came across this page [1] .They also claim to be be pandyans.sources are pretty precise if you observe.LinguisticGeek 04:22, 14 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

see no original research on wikipedia.also the article has a lot of other problems other the pandyan claim.tone and style.you can solve that problem than being stuck on the pandyan claim.also if you are a reasearcher than get your thesis(abt paravs being pandyas) published by some university and then you can use that as a legitimate source on wikipedia.you can't draw conclusion just like that history is dynamic .happy editing.LinguisticGeek 14:41, 14 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

don't remove the tags put it back.make the corrections with citations now and i will check tomorrow if tags need to removed.i don't have time today.LinguisticGeek 15:39, 14 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I am able to give many references concerning the low caste status of the Paravar; here is one: [2], "Many of the Paravar are today tappers.". Stop your POV, vandalism, falsifications else i will provide more & more refs to show the low caste status of the Paravar.83.202.182.67 (talk) 10:41, 15 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Reply[edit]

look this pandyan claim by most tamil castes including paravar ,shanar(nadar) and others is original research and synthesis and a complete mess concerning tone and style.there isn't solid proof or evidence regarding most of these theories.wikipedia clearly needs scholarly citations. both the Nadar (caste) and Paravas article has been tagged problematic because of this concern. i might no longer be able to guide you because of time constraints and other editing which i have to do.you can ask your queries to some editors or use the help me tag.thank you LinguisticGeek 12:15, 17 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Paravar[edit]

Thanks for you help on Paravar. A few things.

Please try to use full reference formats for the references you add. Some samples include {{Cite news}}, {{Cite web}}, and {{Cite book}}, as these enable other readers to look up the information you provide in detail. There's even an easy way to do that--if you go to "My preferences" in the upper right, then go to the tab marked "Editing", near the bottom, click on "Enable enhanced editing toolbar". This will add some functionality to your edit box, include a way to get pop up boxes that give you the most commonly needed fields for references.
Please read through our policy requiring the use of a neutral point of view, which you can find at WP:NPOV. Much of what you just added was highly non-neutral; for example, the use of terms like "excellent" and "highly learned" are not neutral, and thus can't be in WP articles.
Please be careful to provide extremely high quality sources for highly questionable claims, like the idea that the catamaran come specifically from the Paravar. We'll need a very strong source that explains that in detail to make such a claim. Qwyrxian (talk) 11:01, 15 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

ya warriors of a tribal(kattuvasi) community.Tax collector is another way of saying chieftian(they had complete civil authority). 10% of a very huge nadar population(the nadars constitute 80 to 90% of the population of southern tirunelveli and around Korkai!) is actually large. We lived in a real society. Not alone near the stinking sea. The paravars are a schedule caste near Kanniyakumari because dey are tribal illiterates.Sellin anythin dead or dealin with dead things is a extremely polluting occupation(the parayars made leather out the skin of dead animals and the paravars sold dead fish) and the paravars had to stay very far away from a brahmin territory unlike Nadars. The Nadar climbers or Shanars climbed trees and produced jaggery primarily. Toddy was only sold by some nadars. Thevars and nadars live in the same region(like in sivakasi and kamudi) not near the kuppam. Thevars will never consider a bunch of fisherman as their kin and the two races HAVE NOTHING in common.Manymembers of the Mukkulathore community are classed as backward caste(like kallars and agamudayars). Even the Ambattans(barber caste) come under the MBC category.Morever I have posted a link clearly provin that you were below the assaris and nadars.what is even more important is our current position in the society 'TODAY'. i am very well aware of the status of your caste(very poor!I ve seen many tamil movies like citizen)i am through arguing here and i am goin to mind my work from now on.so please.or do you want more.and watch your mouth. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 59.96.136.80 (talk) 17:53, 1 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

A tag has been placed on Chevalier I.X.Pereira requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, but it does not credibly indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay.
