I will be listing my concerns. Soon. TrangaBellam (talk) 19:39, 21 October 2021 (UTC)

Article name
The name of this article has an English end-s, while the article Vedda doesn't. Is this an actual distinction or should we better strive for consistency? ◅ Sebastian 20:39, 28 April 2022 (UTC)

Indigenous status
There appears to be a contradiction with the article Vedda. In this article we have “Vedar are not designated as an indigenous community of Sri Lanka.” but there we have that they (along with other groups) “are accorded indigenous status”. Which is correct? ◅ Sebastian 20:39, 28 April 2022 (UTC)

Vedar
The article often contains the spelling “Vedar”. Is that synonymous to “Veddas”? In the section the first sentence seems to have that meaning, but the rest of that section ) speaks of “Vedar” apparently meaning Coast Veddas.  ◅ Sebastian 20:39, 28 April 2022 (UTC)

Interior Veddas, geographic distribution
What are “interior Veddas”? As an uninformed reader I would assume those are rather in the interior of the island, such as “the interior Veddas of Dambana” mentioned in the article Vedda. If that is so, why is the section here, not there?

A similar confusion exists at in the sentence “the Vedar [as opposed to] the rest of the Indigenous population of the interior.”, which to me implies that the Vedar are a population of the interior. ◅ Sebastian 20:39, 28 April 2022 (UTC)

Language
In section, in the sentence “Vedar children also study in that language in schools.”, the antecedent for “that language” is ambiguous. A strict interpretation of the term “language” would mean Tamil, but if one considers a dialect as a language, it would mean Batticaloa Tamil. ◅ Sebastian 20:39, 28 April 2022 (UTC)

Eastern society
What does “Eastern society” (at ) mean? (a) something like Eastern_world or (b) the society of Eastern SL? If the latter: What is the purpose of the distinction? Why not say something like “Sri Lankan society”? ◅ Sebastian 20:39, 28 April 2022 (UTC)
