Invitation to take part in a pilot study

I am a Wikipedian, who is studying the phenomenon on Wikipedia. I need your help to conduct my research on about understanding "Motivation of Wikipedia contributors." I would like to invite you to a short survey. Please give me your valuable time, which estimates only 5 minutes. cooldenny (talk) 07:41, 15 April 2011 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute to the encyclopedia, but when you add or change content, as you did to the article Nair, please cite a reliable source for the content of your edit. This helps maintain our policy of verifiability. See Wikipedia:Citing sources for how to cite sources, and the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you.

You have today inserted information in two articles - Nair and Malabar Rebellion - which were in both cases misrepresentations of what the cited source said. Please do not indulge in original research or otherwise misrepresent a source. Sitush (talk) 15:35, 1 June 2011 (UTC)

Nair

Several editors have been trying very hard to improve the Nair article of late, and while it is perfectly valid to criticise what they are producing, Wikipedia policies require that you assume good faith, act in accordance with the project's civility guidelines, and do not issue any personal attacks or threats.

If you feel that material added to the article is incorrect, please find reliable sources to back up your arguments, and present and discuss them in a civil manner. And when editors point to the sources they have actually used, please discuss them calmly and civilly - the way to dispute sources is by finding alternative sources which contradict them, not by simply insulting the Wikipedia editor or the source's author. If you believe an author is biased or otherwise incorrect, you need to find an alternative source to contradict them.

Also, please note that nobody editing the article is insulting Nair people, or calling them dogs, or anything of the sort - even the disputed "dog" reference isn't actually calling any people "dogs". Accusations that editors are calling Nairs "dogs" are unacceptable.

A number of comments made in edit summaries and on the Talk page recently have been unacceptable, including the threats that you made in this edit.

If you make any further comments in a similar tone, there is a very strong chance you will be blocked from editing - but I hope it does not come to that, and that you will instead make constructive contributions.

Please have a look over Wikipedia's reliable sourcing and verifiability policies, and try to keep your contributions in line with them

Hi, there is absolutely no basis for the claim that the Nairs were kshatriya. This has been discussed at length on the article talk page and all the supposed proofs for it have in fact proved not to be, erm, proof. Please revert your recent edit. If you really must, then open up the discussion on the talk page once more. Better still, could you try contributing something positive instead of being destructive all of the time. There are numerous requests for assistance regarding issues with the article and you clearly believe that you know something about the Nair community & thus may be able to help with those, if nothing else. Thanks. - Sitush (talk) 14:58, 8 June 2011 (UTC)

When you add or change content, please cite a reliable source for the content of your edit. This helps maintain our policy of verifiability. See Wikipedia:Citing sources for how to cite sources. Specifically, please don't put this material back again unless you can find a reliable source to attest to it - judging by the Talk page discussion, nobody has been able to provide anything to verify the material so far -- Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 16:03, 8 June 2011 (UTC)
