Hello, I'm Magnolia677. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, Kannada, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so. You can have a look at referencing for beginners. If you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Magnolia677 (talk) 22:24, 29 August 2023 (UTC)


 * As you know, the information that you replaced is compiled from several established websites like indiacensus and StatisticsTimes, however, these cannot be cited as they are not concrete sources. We cannot have 12 year old information on the Kannada language, as it is unhelpful to many people looking to this article for relevant data pertaining to "now." As per my experience as both a native Kannadiga and someone who has taken part in several population studies of different regions within the state I have come to these estimates through calculating the population breakdown of the varying Karnataka districts. Until the new census is released, however, we cannot be sure, but don't worry, when new information does come, I will update as according (although I'm certain my predictions are close :) ). I will re-add the information. Aksh24 (talk) 15:43, 6 September 2023 (UTC)
 * Also, in regards to the Bangalore Tamil dialects page, there is no notable concrete evidence. However, as part of a Bangalorean Tamil lineage, I conducted interviews with relatives on the notable features of our distinctive brands of Tamil. This Tamil is spoken throughout many surrounding villages around Bangalore like Sadahalli, Harohalli, etc. and only after having compared it to standard Tamil and conducted numerous interviews and studies had I posted this information. I want you to understand that for a lot of these topics, you cannot find online sources or even physical, written ones. Similarly, western sources and websites that estimate or do speak on the matter will not have the same degree of perspective or understanding as a native. As you can see by both of the topics I added to, they are related to where I come from and the information I compile is from the general public themselves, which unfortunately, is the best resource available at hand. However, this does not invalidate it, and the culture of people who have lived in Bangalore and Karnataka for 1000s of years deserves to be displayed on the global level. I will also re-add the information for this article, and I hope that you will understand why. As more concrete evidence from India (emphasis on INDIA) comes out, I will update information as needed.

 * Ok, just as a heads up, I added some citations and sources for my information on Kannada speaker counts. However, there was no valid online sources to be used for Bangalore Tamil dialects. I still re-added the information as it is based on factual evidence, albeit not digital. Aksh24 (talk) 16:45, 6 September 2023 (UTC)

Please do not add or change content, as you did at Bangalore Tamil dialects, without citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. Magnolia677 (talk) 18:53, 6 September 2023 (UTC)


 * I will acquire a source for the Bangalore Tamil dialects, I would like to bring up a clear use of false information and vandalism by the user "Cookiemonster1618" on the updated 2023 number of Kannada speakers. Here is what they wrote: "Undid edits by Aksh24 (talk); obvious vandalism Ethnologue as of 2023 mentions 44 million native speakers of Kannada and 15 million additional speakers check the 26th edition of 2023 on Ethnologue for more information." This information is outdated and from the year 2011, and they also deleted the sources I provided showing evidence of new speaker counts. Please look into this. Thank you in advance.
