 * Ningalonnichpovuka, no. See WP:HISTRS. TrangaBellam (talk) 07:00, 4 September 2022 (UTC)
 * ok, thanks for guidance. I have gone through it and read that fully.
 * I have understand that adding news report from international prominent news paper is fine, as a historical point of view, as already one news report of Variyan kunnen is added in the article.
 * So i will be adding these news reports alone. Ningalonnichpovuka (talk) 17:01, 6 September 2022 (UTC)

The phrase "rebellion suppressed" in the infobox should be "rebellion ceased"
We see, not against the names of leaders of the rebellion in the infobox. Actually rebels have surrendered. The rebels were also captured. That is how the rebellion was "suppressed". So there was no such a suppression literally. The word "suppression" here is misleading. This should be replaced with "rebellion ceased". Moreover several names are seen added in the infobox which were not in the infobox for a long time. It should be considered removing their names if they have not led the rebellion. M. P. Naraya Menon advocated for non-violence; hence cannot be considered as a leader of the rebellion. Neutralhappy (talk) 02:00, 21 September 2022 (UTC)

Moreover Variyankunnath Kunjahammad Haji had disbanded his army on 18 December 1921. So again there was no suppression of the rebellion. Neutralhappy (talk) 02:38, 21 September 2022 (UTC)

@Kautilya3, you might be able to solve this problem. Neutralhappy (talk) 02:46, 21 September 2022 (UTC)

The First paragraph
There should be a change in the first paragraph for the sentence "The British had appointed high caste Hindus in positions of authority to get their support, this led to the protest turning against the Hindus. "

To : The British used diivide and rule policy which led to viewing the rebellion as against Hindus, though rebels had turned against pro-British government Mappilas and Hindus alike. Neutralhappy (talk) 02:20, 21 September 2022 (UTC)

Remove the word popular
I would like to change this sentence in first paragraph from "The popular uprising was also against the prevailing feudal system controlled by elite Hindus." to "The uprising was also against the prevailing feudal system controlled by elite Hindus."

I am unable to locate the origin of popular word in the citations, please correct me if wrong. And even then the popular seems to be abstract way to measure any rebellion and/or uprising or any historical event.

 * The use of the word 'popular' in this context is not meant to measure the rebellion, but rather to indicate that the uprising was carried out by people. Malayala Sahityam (talk) 22:14, 17 April 2023 (UTC)
 * Done!
 * Rebellion is carried out by people, it's a obvious fact! Afv12e (talk) 01:46, 22 May 2024 (UTC)

What started as a revolt against khilafat movement, suddenly changed into a hindu massacre and ethic cleansing mode. Sankaracharyaswamigal (talk) 11:58, 15 August 2023 (UTC)
