Sourcing
Hi, this is obviously you. Your edit summary may be correct in academia but it is not how it works on Wikipedia. We try to avoid primary sources, except in limited circumstances, and we also avoid sources from the Raj era. I am not entirely sure that you should even be editing the article if you are the Raman Nair who authored the book but, regardless, we will always prefer modern reliable, independent scholarship over that which is old or connected to the article subject. - Sitush (talk) 18:16, 11 October 2016 (UTC)

Dr. R. Raman Nair (talk) 06:27, 12 October 2016 (UTC) If it is a Wikipedia policy to avoid primary sources/as well as Raj era sources it needs to be put for a participative discussion. Wikipedia into which millions of authors like you contribute spending time and effort; need to sustain these contributions and achieve maximum authenticity as possible. When there is controversy or an intentional destruction; for settling them and for improvements and changes we need to rely on primary and authentic sources.

Prof E Sreedharan moved to draftspace
An article you recently created, Prof E Sreedharan, does not have enough sources and citations as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of " " before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.
