@2409:4073:20b:24c3:38fe:6b2f:ac71:3cf2: You said This version is more unsourced than the earlier., Where are the sources you've added in your version?. If it has problems like MOS:HEADCAPS and weasel words, go WP:FIXIT. This is not a way to justify your WP:OR. - SUN EYE 1 16:58, 5 December 2020 (UTC)

Yes, it's more unsourced than the earlier and contains other issues too, subjective promotional attributions (WP:WEASEL) like "regarded as one of the oldest and most important martial arts". Then there is MOS:HEADCAPS and WP:INDICSCRIPT. I did WP:FIXIT, that's what you are reverting each time. You again added WP:OR here with a WP:FAKE reference. You yourself add OR and preach against it at the same? 2409:4073:206:A52F:7940:FFEA:AAAE:6E31 (talk) 19:36, 5 December 2020 (UTC)

That's not a fake reference, I mentioned at the edit summary that I did that per the Tamilakam article. You clearly know that I did not add this content and yet you are accusing me of this. Do you know what misrepresentation is? SUN EYE 1 04:10, 6 December 2020 (UTC)

Then show me where in the source it is cited ... in ancient Tamilakam (present day Indian state of Tamil Nadu, Kerala and Puducherry). Your Tamilakam fallacy was already addressed here. Regarding [1], you were accused of what you were responsible for. It was removed as WP:OR and WP:WEASEL and you "added" it again, violating WP:BURDEN. Misrepresentation is what you did, adding a WP:FAKE reference that did not cited your OR. 157.46.170.142 (talk) 17:34, 8 December 2020 (UTC)

I did not found any RS pinpointing the exact place of origin of Adimurai. What is known is it was a martial art of Travancore region, which was southern Kerala for the large part and Kanyakumari in Tamil Nadu.

Closely related to Kalarippayattu in the southern Kerala region known as Travancore, which borders the present-day Tamil Nadu State, is the martial art known variously as adi murai, varma ati, or chinna ati. Some general features of Tamil martial arts clearly distinguish them from kalarippayattu—they were traditionally practiced in the open air or in unroofed enclosures by Nadars, Kallars, and Thevars. These are three relatively "low-ranking" castes of Travancore District. Nadar was used as a title granted to some families by the anciant Travancore kings.
