Request reason:
I understand that I violated the 3 revert rule in 24 hr period and so blocked. But after that I edited the article while providing valid reasons in discussion. Please also see the discussion page, even though other users are becoming personal with me, I have remained very calm and my attitude is to discuss in a meaningful manner and get a consensus. I never had a intention to edit war. I might have come across that way but I intend to have meaningful discussions and contributios on wikipedia. I understand why I was blocked and I will not do it again so i request you to unblock me. thank you Foodie 377 (talk) 18:26, 25 June 2011 (UTC)
Decline reason:
You were blocked for edit-warring, and when it expired you went right back to edit-warring. As such, I find it difficult to believe you did not intend it the second time. The first block was a brief warning - you chose to ignore it. I could conceivably understand reducing this block to a minimum of 72 hours, but we would need to see a far better understanding of WP:BRD. ( talk→ BWilkins ←track) 09:29, 26 June 2011 (UTC)

I've shortened your block length to 72 hours, as suggested by Bwilkins and accepted by you.

Hi. Thank for your edit. But i will add it in a specific chapter, as you did for Reddy. No need to mention it in the intro. I like your chapter on varna status, it is quite clear eventhough i would not mention aryan/dravidian (old fashionned and above all colonial pov) but instead north/south indian. Rajkris ( talk) 18:55, 15 August 2011 (UTC)
Foodie, good catch on that Kshatriya claim; my version simply said "varna is disputed" and then covered the whole subject below in its own section. Melotown made a ton of vaguely-explained changes, some good and others apparently not so good, and I haven't yet gotten a chance to see if he sneakily removed any cited material that should have been left in. I have to get to bed, but if you're curious here are the major differences between my version and the changes he made: [2]. I'm not sure, but I think he might have removed some of the Shudra stuff from the varna section in favour of putting in more Brahmin stuff. He's at least using footnotes and whatnot, but I'm a little concerned as to the overall changes he's making. If you get a chance to give a second opinion and help ensure he's not removing good data just because it doesn't fit a "glorious narrative" that'd be great.

Foodie, you said "Cannot simply remove cited content.if you feel you need to better explain about the Varna then pls create a subsection if u dont want it in lede.Simply removal of varna related content amounts to censor-WP:CENSOR".
Please explain why and how does removal of content amount to WP:CENSOR. And why should your allegations of censorship be applicable and acceptable?
IMO the contention of Matthewvanitas that a consensus on WP:INDIA discussion page has to be reached is inapplicable as well. Because there is no reason why consensus reached by a select group on wiki shd be acceptable to all. Long-drawn discussions on varnas and how they are not applicable to dravidian speakers, etc are not possible on wiki discussion pages.
So you need to explain your stand. Why should your contention that such content must be put up on the kamma article be acceptable? You were blocked quite a few times in edit wars involving the Kamma article. Are you displaying the Reddy versus Kamma rivalry here?
I shall wait for 24 hours for your reply, otherwise i shall go ahead and delete your edit. Alternatively, i shall request for you to be blocked from editing the Kamma caste article permanently, since you have not made any form of contribution to the article and are merely involved in an edit war regarding varna.

The Varna Status in the Reddy article is very well written and portrays the exact situation. I am very sorry i had not read the Varna Status description in the Reddy article before. If i had not read your contribution (and description reg Varna Status) in the Reddy article, i wud have continued to think differently (that you were merely involved in an edit war). But you have done an excellent job with your contribution. So again sorry, i meant no harm. Its a good idea to give a similar description in Kamma, Kapu, Balija, etc articles also. I hope Kumarrao will provide the relevant content for Kamma article while i shall do do so for the Kapu and Balija articles. The Kapu article is an utter mess and i shudder to even think of cleaning it up. Thanks. -- = No ||| Illusion = ( talk) 12:56, 22 August 2011 (UTC)Mayasutra
Hi Foodie, I have written a similar section of Varna Status for the
Balija article. Do let me know if you wish for any change in it.
Am writing this to you because i have an objection to this sentence in the Reddy article "In Andhra Pradesh, the lower castes conducted the priestly activities and are analogous to the Brahmins.[30]". I checked the link you provided and it does not say that priests analogous to the brahmins were "lower castes".
You may note that native priests analogous to brahmins have been held in high esteem and high social position in old literature, such as Tholkappiyam. The high social position holds true for Telugu brahmins as is evinced from Vijayanagar period literature also. Therefore your claim is very contestable. I therefore suggest it is a better option for you to remove your sentence or edit it out accordingly. Thanks. -- = No ||| Illusion = ( talk) 12:25, 31 August 2011 (UTC)Mayasutra

Hi,
WP depends on WP:secondary sources. Those sources are all primary. If something is not likely to be challenged, we might not bother, but when it comes to WP:Fringe ideas like this, we need to verify that the POV is actually notable. Otherwise we get all manner of crackpots pushing all sorts of crazy nonsense. I've tried verifying this is notable, and I cannot find anything. Without an appropriate source, we need to remove stuff like this as unencyclopedic. See WP:WEIGHT (and FRINGE, and 2ary).

I would like to point out that the article "Reddy" is a bunch of manufactured lies, falsehoods and a mega exercise in self-glorification. Reddy is a sub-group of Kapus, few of whom became village heads carying the title "Reddy". It is not a caste or varna. In fact, the title 'Reddy' is shared by other social groups of A.P., although not in large numbers. The so-called Reddy dynasty was imaginary. Ruling a few districts for 70 or 80 years does not make one Dynastical. Absolutely ridiculous and fraudulent!! The map covering entire caostal Andhra depicted as 'Reddy dynasty' is another great travesty of historical truth. Please take corrective measues right now.

Foodie 377, Please don't respond to such users by insulting them. To IP editor, if you have reliable sources to support your claims, raise them civilly on the article talk page.

Do not make personal attacks at other editors, as you did at
Talk: List of Reddys. Calling someone's edits "nonsense" and "absurd" is borderline, but calling another editor a "nutcase" is an undefendable personal attack. If you make such an attack again, you will be blocked from editing. Also, please be aware, if you are not, that all articles related to caste in India and related countries are under discretionary sanctions, which means that tendentious editing and other disruptive behavior can result in topic bans, blocks, or other remedies being issued by any uninvolved admin.

The article Gunapati Venkata Krishna Reddy has been proposed for deletion because it appears to have no references. Under Wikipedia policy, all newly created biographies of living persons must have at least one reference to a reliable source that directly supports material in the article.
If you created the article, please don't be offended. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, see Referencing for beginners, or ask at the help desk. Once you have provided at least one reliable source, you may remove the {{ prod blp}} tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced. If you cannot provide such a source within ten days, the article may be deleted, but you can request that it be undeleted when you are ready to add one. joe decker talk to me 06:30, 18 May 2012 (UTC)

Request reason:
I have read the article WP:BRD and in future I will use that method to get some consensus and discussion going. Hereafter I will not engage in edit war.Please unblock me after 72 hours as you have stated.Thank you.Foodie 377 (talk) 13:11, 26 June 2011 (UTC)
Accept reason:
I've shortened your block length to 72 hours, as suggested by Bwilkins and accepted by you. You'll still be blocked for a bit more than a day, but when it expires be sure to attempt discussion if your edits are opposed, rather than reverting continuously. Failure to do so will possibly lead to another indefinite block that won't be overturned. -- Atama 頭 19:56, 27 June 2011 (UTC)
Greetings, the Bhargarva quote for the politics section looks great, but rather than manually type the cite, I suggest you just copy the URL that you're looking at on GoogleBooks, and paste it into http://reftag.appspot.com
For example, here's what it produces with just a 2-second cut and paste: S. C. Bhatt, Gopal K. Bhargava (2006). Land and people of Indian states and union territories: in 36 volumes. Orissa. Gyan Publishing House. ISBN 9788178353777. Retrieved 25 June 2011.
Consider using this app in the future, and it should save you a lot of time. Good luck! MatthewVanitas ( talk) 23:46, 25 June 2011 (UTC)

Hi. Thank for your edit. But i will add it in a specific chapter, as you did for Reddy. No need to mention it in the intro. I like your chapter on varna status, it is quite clear eventhough i would not mention aryan/dravidian (old fashionned and above all colonial pov) but instead north/south indian. Rajkris ( talk) 18:55, 15 August 2011 (UTC)
Foodie, good catch on that Kshatriya claim; my version simply said "varna is disputed" and then covered the whole subject below in its own section. Melotown made a ton of vaguely-explained changes, some good and others apparently not so good, and I haven't yet gotten a chance to see if he sneakily removed any cited material that should have been left in. I have to get to bed, but if you're curious here are the major differences between my version and the changes he made: [2]. I'm not sure, but I think he might have removed some of the Shudra stuff from the varna section in favour of putting in more Brahmin stuff. He's at least using footnotes and whatnot, but I'm a little concerned as to the overall changes he's making. If you get a chance to give a second opinion and help ensure he's not removing good data just because it doesn't fit a "glorious narrative" that'd be great.

Foodie, you said "Cannot simply remove cited content.if you feel you need to better explain about the Varna then pls create a subsection if u dont want it in lede.Simply removal of varna related content amounts to censor-WP:CENSOR".
Please explain why and how does removal of content amount to WP:CENSOR. And why should your allegations of censorship be applicable and acceptable?
IMO the contention of Matthewvanitas that a consensus on WP:INDIA discussion page has to be reached is inapplicable as well. Because there is no reason why consensus reached by a select group on wiki shd be acceptable to all. Long-drawn discussions on varnas and how they are not applicable to dravidian speakers, etc are not possible on wiki discussion pages.
So you need to explain your stand. Why should your contention that such content must be put up on the kamma article be acceptable? You were blocked quite a few times in edit wars involving the Kamma article. Are you displaying the Reddy versus Kamma rivalry here?
I shall wait for 24 hours for your reply, otherwise i shall go ahead and delete your edit. Alternatively, i shall request for you to be blocked from editing the Kamma caste article permanently, since you have not made any form of contribution to the article and are merely involved in an edit war regarding varna.

The Varna Status in the Reddy article is very well written and portrays the exact situation. I am very sorry i had not read the Varna Status description in the Reddy article before. If i had not read your contribution (and description reg Varna Status) in the Reddy article, i wud have continued to think differently (that you were merely involved in an edit war). But you have done an excellent job with your contribution. So again sorry, i meant no harm. Its a good idea to give a similar description in Kamma, Kapu, Balija, etc articles also. I hope Kumarrao will provide the relevant content for Kamma article while i shall do do so for the Kapu and Balija articles. The Kapu article is an utter mess and i shudder to even think of cleaning it up. Thanks. -- = No ||| Illusion = ( talk) 12:56, 22 August 2011 (UTC)Mayasutra
Hi Foodie, I have written a similar section of Varna Status for the
Balija article. Do let me know if you wish for any change in it.
Am writing this to you because i have an objection to this sentence in the Reddy article "In Andhra Pradesh, the lower castes conducted the priestly activities and are analogous to the Brahmins.[30]". I checked the link you provided and it does not say that priests analogous to the brahmins were "lower castes".
You may note that native priests analogous to brahmins have been held in high esteem and high social position in old literature, such as Tholkappiyam. The high social position holds true for Telugu brahmins as is evinced from Vijayanagar period literature also. Therefore your claim is very contestable. I therefore suggest it is a better option for you to remove your sentence or edit it out accordingly. Thanks. -- = No ||| Illusion = ( talk) 12:25, 31 August 2011 (UTC)Mayasutra

Hi,
WP depends on WP:secondary sources. Those sources are all primary. If something is not likely to be challenged, we might not bother, but when it comes to WP:Fringe ideas like this, we need to verify that the POV is actually notable. Otherwise we get all manner of crackpots pushing all sorts of crazy nonsense. I've tried verifying this is notable, and I cannot find anything. Without an appropriate source, we need to remove stuff like this as unencyclopedic. See WP:WEIGHT (and FRINGE, and 2ary).

I would like to point out that the article "Reddy" is a bunch of manufactured lies, falsehoods and a mega exercise in self-glorification. Reddy is a sub-group of Kapus, few of whom became village heads carying the title "Reddy". It is not a caste or varna. In fact, the title 'Reddy' is shared by other social groups of A.P., although not in large numbers. The so-called Reddy dynasty was imaginary. Ruling a few districts for 70 or 80 years does not make one Dynastical. Absolutely ridiculous and fraudulent!! The map covering entire caostal Andhra depicted as 'Reddy dynasty' is another great travesty of historical truth. Please take corrective measues right now.

Foodie 377, Please don't respond to such users by insulting them. To IP editor, if you have reliable sources to support your claims, raise them civilly on the article talk page. If all you want to do is to make unsourced POV claims, please find another website. Wikipedia merely summarizes what reliable sources say. Qwyrxian ( talk) 00:34, 8 November 2011 (UTC)
Do not make personal attacks at other editors, as you did at
Talk: List of Reddys. Calling someone's edits "nonsense" and "absurd" is borderline, but calling another editor a "nutcase" is an undefendable personal attack. If you make such an attack again, you will be blocked from editing. Also, please be aware, if you are not, that all articles related to caste in India and related countries are under discretionary sanctions, which means that tendentious editing and other disruptive behavior can result in topic bans, blocks, or other remedies being issued by any uninvolved admin.

The article Gunapati Venkata Krishna Reddy has been proposed for deletion because it appears to have no references. Under Wikipedia policy, all newly created biographies of living persons must have at least one reference to a reliable source that directly supports material in the article.
If you created the article, please don't be offended. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, see Referencing for beginners, or ask at the help desk. Once you have provided at least one reliable source, you may remove the {{ prod blp}} tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced. If you cannot provide such a source within ten days, the article may be deleted, but you can request that it be undeleted when you are ready to add one. joe decker talk to me 06:30, 18 May 2012 (UTC)
