Orphaned references in Criminal Tribes Act

I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Criminal Tribes Act's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT ⚡ 18:26, 16 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Factual error?

We say Ramnarayan Rawat, a professor of History and specialising in social exclusion in Indian subcontinent, states that the criminal-by-birth castes under this Act included initially Gujjars but its enforcement expanded by late 19th century to include most Shudras and untouchables such as Chamars, as well as Sanyassis and hill tribes. Try as I might, I cannot see where the cited pages of Rawat's book say the stuff about which groups fell under the Act initially and the bit about Sanyassis and hill tribes definitely is not said by him (a re-phrase would probably fix that because there is a source given for it but the sentence attributes it incorrectly). Can someone please provide a quote here or at least tell me what paragraph of what page I should be looking at. I have a hard copy of the book, btw. - Sitush (talk) 18:20, 18 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

It appears to have been added in this edit by Paulmuniz. Some bits have since gone missing (Ahirs etc), probably because of people trying to sanitise on behalf of their castes. The pages in Rawat certainly refer to these communities but not, as far as I can see, in the way that has been paraphrased. - Sitush (talk) 18:28, 18 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

nowiki but formatted as wikilinks?

There are several tribal names (e. g. Lodhi) formatted with the double-brackets of wikilinks, but then surrounded with nowiki tags. Is there a reason for this, or is it just a mistake? IAmNitpicking (talk) 18:47, 9 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
