I hereby state to you to read the citations properly. The citation is provided from a revered Grammar work in Dravidian linguistics. To remind you again; the earliest "long written" inscription in Telugu was laid by Rēnāti Cholas. But before that, we have isolated words/sentences till 100 CE and loans in Prakrit works till c.200 BCE. The term "Old" refers to the earliest attestation of a language in any possible form (an inscription/loan word/trace etc.). Thus, 200 BCE is stage widely accepted as "Old Telugu". Most inscriptions in Tamil between 300 BCE - 150 BCE are also through individual words alone! I also state that any further vandalism would lead to SERIOUS charges and permanent restrictions on your account. MIND IT. Anandwiki.ind ( talk) 13:26, 13 March 2024 (UTC)
You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Telugu language. This means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be although other editors disagree. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus, rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.
Points to note:
If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes and work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing. — Spaceman Spiff 14:06, 13 March 2024 (UTC)

Could I ask why my edit on Katchatheevu was reverted? Were the sources I added unreliable or something? Did the wikilinks I added violate WP:OVERLINK? ZionniThePeruser ( talk) 22:16, 6 April 2024 (UTC)
Hello, I'm Drusekoana and contacting you to find out more about the reasons behind your latest modification to the "Sri Lankan Tamils" article.
In fact, you've completely erased my last modifications, in which I pointed out the inconsistencies between the sources cited and the content published in the " Society " section, and more specifically in the " Language " section.
This sub-section explains that the characteristics of the Jaffna or North Tamil dialect are partly due to the demographics of its speakers, who are presented as coming mainly from the Coromandel Coast and Malabar. However, the quoted references agree on the idea that the peculiarities of the Jaffna dialect could be remnants of a specifically Malabarese ancestrality, dominant until the 13th century according to these same sources.
— Historical records indicate that the Malabar Coast on the western side of the subcontinent was the source of major Tamil migration to the island until abouth the thirteenth century [...] the impact of the early Malabar migration, their long period of residence in Sri Lanka, and their interaction with the Sinhalese people helped them to become distinct from the Tamils of Tamil Nadu. —
Manogaran, Chelvadurai (1987). Ethnic Conflict and Reconciliation in Sri Lanka. University of Hawaii Press. p. 3. ISBN 9780824811167.
— As Kearney puts it, the influence of the early Malabar migrations, as well as long residence in Ceylon and interaction with the Sinhalese, left the Ceylon Tamils as a unique group of Tamil-speaking people, differentiated in customs, speech, and social organization from the Tamils of South India. —

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Venad (kingdom), you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Tamil. Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)
