Thanks for providing page numbers for the contentious Frankel/Rao statement at Kayastha.Do you have a copy of this book? It is asking a lot of you but if you do then is there any way that you could scan those pages so that I could review them? I do not doubt your interpretation but another contributor has been adamant that the statement cannot be supported at all in the book but has so far not been able to provide any proof for that. As a matter of fair-ness it would be good to be able to take a look myself. Thanks. - Sitush ( talk) 00:50, 4 November 2011 (UTC)
Hi, I recently reverted your deletions to the Dutta article. Please make a note explaining your deletions (or additions) in the edit summary whenever you make a change to an article. It allows the rest of us to understand why you're making the change and less likely to revert you. Thanks! Vertium (talk to me) 19:08, 11 June 2012 (UTC)
Do not add "Kayastha" on good faith unless it is mentioned in the source or you provide another WP:RS as you have done in Subhas Chandra Bose. – Tito Dutta ✉ 06:40, 22 June 2012 (UTC)

Hi, there had been a long discussion at Talk:Kayastha regarding what to say about the Bengalis. Something was sorted out, the article was amended and then you made some quite big changes to it. I have reverted those changes, partly because they appeared to alter what had been agreed and partly because they introduced copyright violations. The latter, in particular, is not acceptable. Please do not do it again. Thanks. - Sitush ( talk) 17:33, 26 May 2013 (UTC)

Hello Melotown, I must say, you are doing a good job! Improved language and minor changes like reframing sentences to align with the source obviously make a positive difference. Ekdalian ( talk) 04:31, 20 July 2013 (UTC)
Hi, I know that you meant well with your latest contribution to the Kayastha article but, really, it added nothing to what was already said. You introduced more sources to say the same thing and you split up various bits seemingly to make separate points of them and thus further glorify the wonderful background of the community. It was back-door puffery and is not necessary: brevity has a role to play in good writing. - Sitush ( talk) 19:47, 29 December 2013 (UTC)

I like your edit on the Kayastha page. Lets form a solidarity group against those who malign the article and its subject matter. I propose the folloing name for the group.

You don't seem to understand the purpose of the redirect that you keep deleting - despite three separate editors inserting it.
As I previously said - "Karn has redirected here for about a year, readers looking for Karn (comics) need to be redirected"
Karn was redirected to
Kayastha on 6 February 2014, as can be seen at
Karn:Revision history, which is why I stated "about a year" - it certainly wasn't 10 days ago.
Prior to the redirect, by
User:Sitush (a very experienced editor especially on Indian Caste articles), the Karn article just said "Karn is a Kayastha clan found in India." with one reference, so he redirected it to Kayastha with the edit summary "just another namecheck article that has no notability".
The problem is that some readers looking for Karn are looking for the character in the Marvel comics - but the redirect has automatically led them to the Kayastha article, so we need the redirect to Karn (comics) to send them in the right direction. The redirect is correct - please do not delete it again. Arjayay ( talk) 18:33, 15 January 2015 (UTC)
