Talk:Kalingi

I propose to semi protect this page.

This page is repeatedly targeted by zealots and vandals who add the same unsourced content over and over again. Citing unreliable sources like Imperial gazettes of colonial times is another issue with this page. I urged them to first discuss here on the talk page but that's not happening. Therefore, to maintain the Wikipedia standards, I think this page should be semi protected. What do you think Utcursch? Chaos1618 (talk) 21:30, 14 April 2019 (UTC)

Probably a good idea next time there is a series of caste glorification edits. utcursch | talk 11:50, 15 April 2019 (UTC)

Name of the page

The name of the caste registered as ‘kalinga’ in central OBC list as well as AP state BC list. But here page was named as ‘kalingi’, which was the other name for the caste ‘kalinga’. Please change the page name to ‘kalinga’ thereby there will be no more confusions. Hope it will be done! Lokchaitanya pujari (talk) 20:56, 1 May 2019 (UTC)

Kālingas were described as essentially Telugu-speaking and concentrated along the historical borderland of the Ganjam and Vizagapatam districts, whereas the Kālinjis were described as an Odia-speaking agricultural community of Ganjam.While some earlier records treated the terms as regional names for the same caste, later accounts distinguished the Telugu-speaking Kālingis from the Odia-speaking Kālinjis, noting that confusion arose because Kālinjis were sometimes referred to as Kālingis by other communities.
