Stop adding circular links
Please stop trying to link to pages that don't exist, especially since you are just linking alternative names which would just link right back to the original article. Please read MOS:LINK. Bennv3771 (talk) 11:41, 18 December 2017 (UTC)

Font colours
Hi there, please refrain from adding font colours as you've done here and here. In addition to looking unprofessional, as encyclopedias typically don't mess with font colours, we care about content accessibility. Readers who are colour blind or readers with other visual impairments may have trouble seeing the content, which is problematic.

Also, re: this edit, we don't typically use Malayalam script in articles at the English Wikipedia. Members of the Noticeboard for India-related Topics prefers that we not use Indic scripts in the infobox or lead section. There might be an argument for using it in the body of the article, but we always translate non-English words, so that our readers across the globe can understand it. Thank you.

Biju Sopanam
Greetings, Tearstosweat. Your draft was declined because sources you used as references were unreliable. Sources should be secondary sources so that they are verifiable. For example, a major newspaper, a factual and widely-published book, high-quality generally trusted mainstream publications and not blogs, MySpace, Facebook, LinkedIn, YouTube, fansites, Twitter, wikis, or other sites with user-generated content. You can visit Help:Referencing for beginners, Help:Introduction to referencing with Wiki Markup/1, WP:BLP and also WP:ENTERTAINER for more information to improve your draft. If additional reliable sources cannot be found for the subject, then it may not be suitable for Wikipedia at this time. Thank you and good luck. Ernestchuajiasheng (talk) 10:28, 22 December 2017 (UTC)


 * Times of India & Decaan Chronicle are renowned major newspapers in India. Then why they can't be approved as reference..? Tearstosweat (talk) 22:32, 22 December 2017 (UTC)
 * Decaan Chronicle was added in after my visit to your draft. It would be best to add your sources using an inclined citation and to include more quality sources like Times of India. Nevertheless, you could consult help from Theroadislong pertaining your draft should you have more enquiries. Ernestchuajiasheng (talk) 04:21, 24 December 2017 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for January 2
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Unni Mukundan, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Oru Murai Vanthu Parthaya ([//dispenser.info.tm/~dispenser/cgi-bin/dablinks.py/Unni_Mukundan check to confirm] | [//dispenser.info.tm/~dispenser/cgi-bin/dab_solver.py/Unni_Mukundan?client=notify fix with Dab solver]). Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ* Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)
