My edits were reverted, where in the summary it was alleged there was no consensus: diff I would like to reinstate the content, which I believe is a considerable improvement for this article. If anybody has issues with edits, please cite the problematic text from the diff and explain it here. I will try to adress these issues. -- ThaThinThaKiThaTha ( talk) 15:29, 17 November 2018 (UTC)

It is my experience that making large changes to an article is not generally an effective way to edit, especially when those changes affect the entire article. Try making small incremental changes, of a sentence or a paragraph, and get consensus for those changes first. I'm intentionally not commenting on the content at this point, as I would like to see the reason behind each of these edits before weighing in. I'll watch this talk page, so please continue to discuss. Brad v🍁 22:27, 29 November 2018 (UTC) |
The main article of the old version is mostly unsourced. Some of it is OR. We need to rely on peer-reviewed scholarship and WP:HISTRS sources, not blogs etc (which I will remove per our content guidelines). I welcome comments and feedback. Ms Sarah Welch ( talk) 15:42, 25 October 2019 (UTC)
@ Utcursch: Should we include one or more sample poem(s) to illustrate the Sangam literature? Including it raises NPOV issue (473 poets, why pick one or few), but leaving out any sample(s) makes this article somewhat dry. I will meditate on this a bit, but your and other t/p watcher comments would be most welcome. Ms Sarah Welch ( talk) 00:09, 26 October 2019 (UTC)
