The term 'Tamil Muslim' is an abstract term but more or less refers to those who are Muslims having Tamil lineage and traditions.The Sri Lankan Moors, like you said do not feature in your government statistics as Tamils, but the motive behind that agenda was highly suspected by the world community in the pre-war times.

The Sri Lankan Moors' traditions are composite and are entirely different from the Muslims of Arabian peninsula whom you relate them to with.Their culture and practices are closest only to those of the broader Muslim community living in Tamil Nadu, Kerala etc.

Their cuisine and food habits, architecture(mosques), funeral rites all are only identifible with Tamil Muslims, rather than any other Muslim community in the globe.

Arwi is a derived dialect from Tamil, common to some Muslims even in Tamil Nadu.There are many other such dialects in TN and Kerala, but a dialect does not mean they have a separate lineage as you claim them to be.If they came from Arabia then home come they speak only Tamil(including those who live in majority Sinhalese area).

It cannot be a meer co-incidence that the Muslims of Tamil Nadu in India and Sri Lanka share the same lingua franca,cuisine and more cultural habits. The only logical conclusion is that the first few Muslims in Sri Lanka indeed must have landed from Tamil Nadu for which we do have records as any Tamil Muslim family from Kayalpatnam-kilakarai belt would be able to testify. For ages, our ancestors have been trading along the coast of Sri Lanka right across the Batticaloa regions.

And last, Muslims are not a separate ethnic group nywhere in the world perhaps except for Sri Lankan census, everywhere else they have ethnic connections to a broader community.Even Myanmar accepts the Muslim Rohinyas to be descendants of Bengali origins.And same way Moors of Sri Lanka who share most of their culture with mainstream Tamil-speaking Muslims, it is fair to place them in the article.With this I hereby revert back your edit, with which if your unhappy may present your justification against it here.--

• Firstly you should have started this discussion on the article's talk page and not here.
• You seem to have missed the fact that there are more than just one Muslim group living in Sri Lanka and all of them either speak Sinhalese or Tamil. The group you are speaking of are Indian Moors, a completely different and separate ethnic group to the Sri Lankan Moors. Indian Moors are like the Indian Tamils of Sri Lanka they were brought to Sri Lanka from India for the same reasons as the Indian Tamils, as labourers to the plantations. see Indians in Sri Lanka and this.
• Sri Lankan Moors do not have Tamil lineage, they are Arab descendants who have assimilated and now speak and share many similarities with the Sinhalese and Tamil people.
• You have not given any evidence or reliable references to your POV therefore I will revert back to the good version, and if you want to continue this discussion do it on the talk page.--Blackknight12 (talk) 07:04, 29 March 2013 (UTC)

I have opened the discussion in the talk page as well as reverted back your edit to the previous version as it had been.You have neither answered any of my queries nor provided with evidence to oppose it.

Firstly realize we are not debating about from which country these Muslims have landed from.Whether Indian or Arabian , it makes no difference to this article.Tamil Muslim cult is distinct, and Sri Lankan Moors predominantly are more inclined towards it rather than an Arabian or Sinhalese cult(which does not exist as you claim).

Indian Tamils are just those whose origins are traced back to India, yes different from the local Sri Lankan Tamils of your island, but that does not mean they are not Tamils at all because they did not originate from your island like the latter.Same thing applies for the Moors who may.may not have an Arab descent but more or less have gained a Tamil 'lineage' by adopting their culture.

Its not like you can say the descendants of Indian Tamils are non-citizens of Sri lanka because their ancestors have come from a different country hundred years back.Same way its ridiculous if you associate Sri lnkan Moors with Arabs just because their disputed ancestry was supposed to be as such according to your version.

Many sources say, Arab influx was only restricted in small nos. perhaps to Beruwala and Mannar alone and it was the local conversions and Migration from South India in the 13th Century onward that led to a rapid growth to the Muslim populace here.Some others say Arabian traders married with local Tamil women and settled down their lives here.So of what context do you restrict SL Moors having Tamil lineage to only 'Indian Moors' that have no context here.

The above argument is anyway irrelevant to the topic, as Tamil Muslim is not discussing the ancestry of any community but rather their culture and fascia which are unique (from (sic) Arab or Malay) and are commonly practiced by Muslims across South India,Sri Lanka and Malaysia as well.

You cannot suggest your version to be the 'good' version, the older version has existed for a good long time here and its only fair that you change it to your 'good' version only if you can provide acceptable proof to justify doing so.--

You are repeatedly engaging in edit warring when the subject has been mutually taken care of.A citation tag has been placed in the article already regarding the number and yet you keep vandalising the article with your ethnicity claims.

If you fail to see that TamilNet is not a neutral source and is highly pro LTTE and highly anti Sri Lanka, I extremely doubt you should be editing on Wikipedia, let alone anywhere. I suggest you read Wikipedia's policies and guidelines and get to know them much better that you do now, and also what a credible and reliable source is. I would also suggest you read Wikipedia:Reliable sources/Noticeboard/Archive 64#Tamilnet (http://www.tamilnet.com). I highly doubt your claim that TamilNet is a credible Nationalist and Anthropological media source as viewed by the Anthropological Quarterly, let alone anywhere. You have not even given a source to back up your claim which any editor, serious enough in their work here on Wiki, would know to do as the burned of proof is on the claimer. Also just to clarify on your knowledge of history, Tamil Eelam is and was never was a state or political entity, it was only a proposed one by the LTTE. Tamil Eelam was never a part of Tamilakam, as Tamilakam existed only in India. You should know as you reverted well sourced information on the topic claiming vandalism.--Blackknight12 (talk) 05:49, 29 June 2013 (UTC)

Hey Blackknight12

I'm sending you this because you've made quite a few edits to the template namespace in the past couple of months. If I've got this wrong, or if I haven't but you're not interested in my request, don't worry; this is the only notice I'm sending out on the subject :).

So, as you know (or should know - we sent out a centralnotice and several watchlist notices) we're planning to deploy the VisualEditor on Monday, 1 July, as the default editor. For those of us who prefer markup editing, fear not; we'll still be able to use the markup editor, which isn't going anywhere.

What's important here, though, is that the VisualEditor features an interactive template inspector; you click an icon on a template and it shows you the parameters, the contents of those fields, and human-readable parameter names, along with descriptions of what each parameter does. Personally, I find this pretty awesome, and from Monday it's going to be heavily used, since, as said, the VisualEditor will become the default.

The thing that generates the human-readable names and descriptions is a small

Dear friend,

Due to a family emergency, I might not be able to access Wikipedia at least for a week or two. Therefore, I have decided to handover the facts that I have gathered so far.

• Under Tamilnadu “Animangalam Copperplate” of Kulothunga chola notes that ‘Kasiba Thera’…”

As far as I have gathered it is also known as “Leiden Plates” [[1]] Here is the link to the Epigraphia Indica and the translations are given in pages from 267 .[[2]] However I couldn’t find a single reference to a ‘Kasiba Thera’. Pls verify again. (Pdf is poor quality. Sorry, this was the best I could find)

• Nagas were not Tamils. Talk page Tamilakam.
• Vallipuram script is not written in Tamil [[3]]
• Thiriyaya script here. From Epigraphia Zeylanica [[4]] P151.

Again not a Tamil script. its Sanskrit ‘closely resembling pallava Grantha’. According to that the two merchant guilds were north Indian (Thapassu and Balluka). Correctly, as Lord Buddha was from north India. The two guilds mentioned in the reference by Meera Abraham are Manigramam and Ayyavole. [[5]] ??? Manipulated facts. But better to verify with the original article by Meera.

• Kadiramalai - can't declare as a Tamil Buddhist site. It was a Sinhala site as well. most probably a multiethnic site [[6]] p 67
• Peter Schalk is a poor source. He has publicly declared his political affliations. [[7]][[8]][[9]]

I may have missed things. So Pls go through the evidence again.

By the way I found this article too.

Regards and take care

What is wrong with having the Ceylon and Sri Lanka template. Look at the Tanzania template. Mr Hall of England (talk) 17:06, 10 August 2013 (UTC)

The template is unnecessary. Heads of State is not an office used in either of the Sri Lankan eras. Nor is it an office used in any other country. Heads of State is the title of the function that is provided by the office of the

Template:TanzaniaPresidents. Exactly what you have done here. I would argue the same for the Tanzania template, and every other Heads of State template.

These two discussions (

Hello Nishadhi,

I think that was expected when getting into an argument with CuCl2. It is an extreme waste of valuable time, but I don't think we can leave these articles based on wrong information. I usually run into this road block and the advice I normally get from an admin is Wikipedia:Third opinion, Wikipedia:Requests for comment or Wikipedia:Dispute resolution noticeboard, but maybe we can invite User:Joshua Jonathan as a neutral party as CuCl2 seems to have something against us, or at least me.--Blackknight12 (talk) 04:28, 21 October 2013 (UTC)

Angampora

Hi Blackknight, you seem to be under the impression that I removed information from the angampora article without explanation. The truth is I didn't remove any information at all. Everything was simply reworded and re-arranged because, frankly, the article is full of grammar mistakes and was generally badly written. If you want, I am willing to justify and explain every change I made to the article. Morinae (talk) 14:35, 8 November 2013 (UTC)

Hello Morinae, thank you for discussing instead of reverting first. However Ideally you should have written this in the articles talk page. I have undone your edit because there was large chunks of sources information removed without any explanation. I have to disagree with you that the article is full of grammar mistakes and was generally badly written because I don't think it is. I have worked with editor who wrote this article and he does not seem to have a problem with grammar. The article is also thoroughly researched and its content is well sourced there is really no need to change the content. Thanks--Blackknight12 (talk) 06:25, 9 November 2013 (UTC)

I beg to differ with you on that point; there is a real need to alter the writing of the content. I will not make any edits yet, but I hope we can continue this discussion on the talk page first. Morinae (talk) 17:39, 9 November 2013 (UTC)

Hello again, my friend. Can we please discuss our edits on the talk page rather than simply reverting? That was the reason I did my edits one by one so you could point out specifically what it is you disagree with and I could either change it or explain my reasons to you. I am interested to know why you feel that particular image is "better" for the infobox. I will leave that photo where it is for now, but I will have to make two changes to your revision. First, as I have said in my edit summary, images should generally be placed on the right side, especially at the beginning of a paragraph. As you can see

here, this is because it makes it harder for readers to find the beginning of the text. If an image is on the left, it should really be after the first paragraph of a section. In such a short article as the one we are dealing with, this means we have less space for images. And perhaps more importantly, I will be changing the captions back to my previous version. I hope I won't have to argue about this because there is absolutely no way any objective reader or editor can say "Male and female combat" is a good caption. Morinae (talk

I note that there are two navigation templates for the various Sri Lankan ethnic groups:

Template:Immigration to Sri Lanka. I think it would be better if we only had just one template, particularly as the former only has three entries. I've merged the two into one on my sandbox. What do you think?--obi2canibe^{talk contr}

Actually I think the current formation is best, it is much clearer, simpler and more organized. Also the Immigration to Sri Lanka template will expand in the future, which is also a whole topic on its own. More over we should keep in mind Moors, Indian Tamils, Malays, Burghers etc. are 4th, 5th, 6th... generations of immigrants to Sri Lanka, which comes under the scope of Immigration to Sri Lanka.--Blackknight12 (talk) 05:58, 24 December 2013 (UTC)

I'm afraid you are opening the native/immigrant genie by having two templates, classifying all Tamils in Sri Lanka as diaspora and removing Category:Ethnic groups in Sri Lanka from the Category:Sri Lankan Moors, Category:Indian Tamils of Sri Lanka‎, Category:Sri Lankan Malays, Category:Burgher people, Category:Colombo Chetties and Category:Bharatakula people.

Classifying a group as an ethnic group does not mean they are classified as native - have a look at

Template:Ethnic groups in Australia, Template:UK census ethnic groups, Template:Ethnic groups in Malaysia, Template:Ethnic groups in South Africa. All it means is that they have been identified as distinct ethnic group. All of the groups from whom you removed Category:Ethnic groups in Sri Lanka are classed as ethnic groups by the Sri Lankan government.--obi2canibe^{talk contr}

There hasn't seem to be any conflict on it so far. And yes I would like to avoid it. I understand what ethnic group means, the reason I removed the cat was because all the article were already in or fell into a ...diaspora in Sri Lanka subcat. So essentially they are still in the Ethnic groups in Sri Lanka cat. The fact that they are classed as an ethnic groups by the Sri Lankan government doesnt exclude the fact that they are immigrant populations. Please parden that harsh sounding sentence, I am not a xenophobe or anything, just stating a fact. I can assure you all ethnic groups in Sri Lanka, with a wiki article, are categorized under Category:Ethnic groups in Sri Lanka or a subgroup within it.

I think this edit is fine, all it suggests is that the Sri Lankan Tamil diaspora are a part of Tamils of Sri Lanka.--Blackknight12 (talk) 13:45, 24 December 2013 (UTC)

I disagree with the differentiation between ethnic groups and immigrants - they are not mutually exclusive - and particularly the classification of Sri Lankan Tamils as immigrants but I am not going to pursue that matter.--obi2canibe^{talk contr} 12:19, 26 December 2013 (UTC)
