I need your help on this page
editDear CipherRephic , I need your help on this one Devanga - bringing this your attention. This is about a particular community of people in Southern parts of India, where i was shocked to see the following statement on that page. While i personally don't beleive in any kind of secorization and ranking of a particular community, i came to know a lot of people from that community have been offended by such ranking called Shudra. Could you please remove the following reference as you would agree that Wikipedia is not a place to rank or make claims that are unverifiable ?
--- statement from the page that needs to be removed ---
They are of Shudra status in the Hindu caste system. However, they use the Devanga Purana, a text sacred to the Devangas, to claim Brahmin status, despite having a non-Brahmin profession. They replaced their native local gotras with Sanskritic gotras. Phenomenological philosopher (talk) 12:41, 10 January 2025 (UTC)
- @Phenomenological philosopher I think this is one you'd be better off discussing on the talk page - I'm no subject expert, and there might be a local consensus to include this which I'm not aware of. Once you've discussed it and established a consensus you can you the template {{Edit extended-protected}} (just paste that before your message) to request the edit and someone will come along to deal with it. Hope this helps! CR (talk) 15:17, 10 January 2025 (UTC)
