Major cleanup underway at Kayastha; your help would be appreciated

edit

Greetings, I'm doing a major chop on Kayastha, removing caste puffery, adding proper citations about the controversy of their varna designation, and generally trying to hack out unref, OR, and other unsuitable materials. If you have any chance at all to chip in, it'd be greatly appreciated. Likewise, even watchlisting and keeping an eye out for upset editors removing my (full footnoted) notations about their possible Shudra status (an unpopular topic) would be appreciated. Thanks!

Greetings, totally up to you. But definitely Watchlisting it to watch for angry IPs reverting my footnotes to add pseudo-history would help a ton. After that, the "Varna controversy" section could use any GoogleBooks info you can dig up about the many court cases the Kayastha had trying to argue which varna they should fall under with the British. Likewise, most of the "History" section and the whole "Culture" section are uncited junk that needs to be re-written based on citeable works. Out of curiosity, are you familiar with http://reftag.appspot.com ? It's an auto-formatter to turn the URL of any GoogleBooks page into a proper WP footnotes. Awesome tool, changed my whole wiki-life. Thanks for any help you can provide! MatthewVanitas (talk) 01:33, 28 April 2011 (UTC)Reply

Hi. When you recently edited Ellis Credle, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Hyde County (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.
