Talk:Panicker
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
[edit] Schoolboy Vandalism
What happened to the original "Panicker" article, on which many people had worked over a long time? It was not perfect, by any means, but conveyed more information about the modern and historical use of the name than the grandiose caste-based account by the sixteen-year-old known as "Manu rocks" who replaced it on 19/11/06. He has managed to erase the whole history of the article before substituting his own.
According to the new editor, Panickers were "greatly respected" "warriors" of the Nair caste, holding an "extremely respectable" position in society, as well as "aristocratic families" from the lower castes and other members of the "nobility" and Christian "commanders"
This romanticised tale has little to do with the situation in the past couple of centuries. Its defects are not remedied by the absurd conclusion that, "All these caste divisions are absent today and have no meaning." NRPanikker 07:59, 25 November 2006 (UTC)
- I was the administrator who deleted the article totally last week. After looking at the removed versions I have restored almost everything except those that Geekoshy pasted in from another website. Also I have reverted to the last version before the copied text. Kimchi.sg 08:19, 25 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Section deleted for redundancy
The section, 'English word' was repetition of info already covered in the main part of the article. 192.30.202.20 22:30, 30 November 2006 (UTC)
- Rather more than that has been deleted. NRPanikker 01:32, 5 December 2006 (UTC)
By "more than that", do you mean, within that section or something outside the section? Within the section, the 'more' that has been deleted was something in line with what you complained about in your your previous comment as the romanticized view. (Then there was also that part that tried to say Panciker is not one who panicks! That should not have been there at all.) Outside the section, there was only a slight change made to condense the lines at the beginning of the article. 192.30.202.20 15:49, 11 December 2006 (UTC)
