Can someone more in the know explain as to why the citations are made in this article to be displayed not in the notes but the text of the article as well as the reference notes: "[1]: 190 "Srednuas Lenoroc (talk) 03:53, 13 December 2015 (UTC)Reply

Which of the citations is wrong - can you be a little more specific. --Salimfadhley (talk) 04:11, 13 December 2015 (UTC)Reply

How much more specific can you be when including an example as seen in the original question posting? : "[1]: 190 "Srednuas Lenoroc (talk) 04:36, 13 December 2015 (UTC)Reply

And, any direction to what you indicate as a potential helpful area of WP had best be given with direct instructions as I do tend to refer to myself as the midnight flasher--when it comes to electronics, as long as the machine indicates 12:00 flashing and is working then it is a useful machine otherwise it is just a heap of metal and plastic. The same might be said of referring to various parts of WP. It may make sense to others but I would be the first to say I am in complete darkness to massive depths.Srednuas Lenoroc (talk) 04:41, 13 December 2015 (UTC)Reply

Cleanup for page (grammar, line spacing, duplicate sentences deleted), as tagged by the admin:

Current:

Kaimal is an aristocratic title or position granted by various Rajas to powerful Nair families in Kerala.

The word "Kaimal" originated from "Kai," meaning "the hand," signifying power in medieval Kerala.

Kaimals are considered one of the highest title among Nairs.[2]

Kaimals identify themselves as a Nair Subcaste. There are many references recorded in various historical documents. They are the Jenmi and Naduvazhi of Kerala.[3][4][5][6][7][8][9]

Several well known families have borne the title, including the Thachudaya Kaimal, Kaimals of Koratti, Angi and Pondicherry.[10]

Many Kaimal families are also part of Kshatriya Kshema Sabha along with Nair Service Society. [11]

Kaimals are not Nairs. Kaimalas who receive Malikhana are the members of Kshatriya Kshema Sabha and rest of the Kaimals are the members of Kaimal Samajam. ~2026-13125-83 (talk) 16:44, 28 February 2026 (UTC)Reply
