Copyright issue

It is not clear from this article what information is trying to be communicated. It appears to be a catalogue of places in India where one might find people with the name "Komarpanth". Since the name is not notable in and of itself, the catalogue likely will not be either. WikiDan61^ChatMe!_ReadMe!! 15:28, 7 August 2009 (UTC)

{{helpme}}I have sent a Mail from yogesa(at)gmail(dot)com - owner and copyright holder of and made necessary corrections in the "Copyright violation concern"

In its current form the article appears to have been pieced together from two blog entries, (, ) and a book excerpt, which, it must be said, has been duly attributed. Taking these out, there won't be much left except a VERY long list of names. Favonian (talk) 20:30, 7 August 2009 (UTC)

I'm looking into this now (per helpme request) - I'll add more info soon.  Chzz  ►  09:05, 8 August 2009 (UTC)

Tagging as;

I have now replaced the 'speedy deletion' template with a 'possible copyright violation' template. This removes the content from view, but the article content actually is still there (if you edit the page). Once the OTRS permission has been processed, then - if it is OK - the OTRS ticket number will be added to this talk page, and the notice on the article will be removed. This may take several days, so please be patient. Thanks.

Once the copyright status is sorted out, then we will see what happens; the article might still be deleted for other reasons, but we need to resolve this matter first.  Chzz  ►  09:23, 8 August 2009 (UTC)

Neutrality

I see quite a few terms in this article that violate a neutral point of view, such as "Charismatic Leadership", "Freedom Fighter", and "its difficult to believe that Komarpanths were robbers and cruel people." I don't know enough about this subject to do much improvement to the article though. Joshua Scott (talk) 19:32, 21 February 2010 (UTC)

Major edits

Hacked out the huge list of non-notable reams of villages where these folks are allegedly found. Removed some overly flowery praise, over detail (which side of the road is the shrine on???), editorial comment, and people changing the content of direct quotes from historic documents, presumably to "improve" them. So the article is now relatively NPOV (though I can't speak to much of the accuracy of it), and about 1/3 of it has some decent footnotes. Also removed the term "Kshatriya" throughout since, despite there being tons of non-notable claims of "Kshatriya Komarpant", no academic mentions it, and British sources all say they're Sudra. Given how popular it is for social groups to suddenly "rediscover" their Kshatriya heritage, this historical revisionism bears watching. MatthewVanitas (talk) 19:06, 17 December 2010 (UTC)

Proposal to re-add historical context for surnames/title

Hi everyone. I noticed the section on surnames and military titles was recently removed. I would like to restore a neutral, simplified version of that information to ensure the article remains complete.

Specifically regarding the 'Metri' title: it is a documented historical designation for commanders within this lineage, and this connection is supported by the KSCBC (Entry 689) source already cited in the 'Official Classification' section. I've drafted a version that sticks strictly to the facts and avoids any 'peacock' language.

I believe including this context would be a great help for preserving the heritage and history of this community in an encyclopedic way. I’m posting this here first to see if anyone has suggestions on the phrasing before I update the main page. I want to make sure it fits perfectly with Wikipedia’s neutrality standards. Thanks! ~~~~ ~2026-17995-74 (talk) 16:57, 7 April 2026 (UTC)

Seeking guidance on updating administrative records.

Hey everyone,

I’ve been reading up on the history of coastal Karnataka and Goa, focusing mostly on the Komarpanth community. I’m pretty new to editing Wikipedia, so I could use some advice from those of you who know how things work around here. From what I’ve found so far—old records, regional histories, all that—the current article leaves out some big pieces about the community’s military background. The title “Metri” is a big deal in their history. It started as a military commander’s title, but over time, it became a family name passed down through generations. This isn’t mentioned in the article at all.

There’s something else missing, too: the official government status. Karnataka’s government puts the Komarpanth community under OBC Category II(A), but the article doesn’t say anything about this.

I’m still getting a handle on Wikipedia’s guidelines about neutrality and reliable sources, so I wanted to bring these ideas up here before making any edits. I just want to make sure everything I add is balanced and backed up with good sources. If I’m going about this the wrong way, or if you have ideas on how to organize this stuff, I’d really thankful your advice. Thanks for any tips or feedback you have—I just want to help make sure this history is represented accurately! ~2026-17995-74 (talk) 15:03, 2 May 2026 (UTC)
