Help request for caste-related article.

Hi all.

I wondered if it might be possible for an editor who has experience of dealing neutrally with caste-related article to read through Vanniyar? A recently-banned user made a complaint about the neutrality of the article, and while their behaviour was clearly unacceptable and they failed to actually say what the problem was, they specifically mentioned footnotes. I checked the footnotes and found one of them was indeed a misrepresentation of the source, making me suspect there might be more problems which I lack the expertise to detect.

Thanks for your time. Boynamedsue (talk) 06:32, 30 April 2025 (UTC)
