Sources used and concerns in Tamils
No Source Link Pages Problems
1 Tamilo.com World Tamil Population NA Hobbyist site, no editorial oversight, no sources/methodology listed for population estimates
2 Ethnic Groups of South Asia and the Pacific: An Encyclopedia; ABC-CLIO, 2012 On Google books] NA Tertiary source with no mention of sourcing, author is a free lance writer with not much else known yet; publisher's process seems a bit wanting for this imprint
3 Encyclopedia of the Stateless Nations; ABC-CLIO, 2002 NA Tertiary source with no mention of sourcing, author is a free lance writer with not much else known yet; publisher's process seems a bit wanting for this imprint
4 The Early History of India, The Clarendon press, 1904 NA Dated, should be replaced by more modern scholarly sourcing especially for naval conquests etc
5 Omniglot Malayalam] Hobbyist site
6 Natarajan, V., History of Ceylon Tamils Unable to find any info about this source
7 Manogaran, C. Ethnic Conflict and Reconciliation in Sri Lanka Google books Care to be used for controversial statements as there's significant scholarly criticism of the book
8 K. Indrapala The Evolution of an ethnic identity: The Tamils of Sri Lanka Care to be used as even the book's advertising snippet says that the book is controversial!
9 Encyclopædia Britannica Online, London: Encyclopædia Britannica, 2008 Vedda Source ok, but should be replaced by secondary source
10 Interview in Frontline (magazine) Article Should be replaced by a scholarly publication
