message: The article is insufficiently footnoted, and contains sweeping statements that fail to stand up to logic. Moreover, some of the footnotes direct to commercial websites of no use. DOR (HK) (talk) 05:31, 15 May 2009 (UTC)

message: I have no idea what this means:
"This much improvement was strongly gain after the Meetei leader Mr. Chingshubam Akaba, who was murdered in connection with the development and popularity of his name in the state on the 31st midnight of December 2006 at his resident gate in Imphal."  Does that mean he was an opponent of the proposed script change, and with him out of the way it's easier?  Or (more likely!) does it mean he was in favor of the script change, and his death brought some kind of impetus to the change?  (Also, this needs a citation for the claim that he was murdered *because* of his popularity, rather than--say--as the result of a bungled robbery.)
This is also puzzling:
"People are trying to bring this script up to the international standard as it is the only lone script of NE India."  It's not clear what it means for a script to be "up to the international standard"--there certainly is no international standards body that sets out guidelines on scripts (or better, on orthographies--"script" refers to things like Perso-Arabic, Devanagari, Roman etc.), and some orthographies are pretty awful (English, for instance).  It's also unclear what it means to be an "only lone" script, and why that is bad (or good, I can't tell from the sentence whether it's supposed to be good or bad). 
Finally, the second and third (and part of the first) paragraphs are really about the orthography, not the language per se. Mcswell (talk) 01:16, 2 November 2009 (UTC)

message: Meitei people eat various meat link given below
*   Except for Hindu Manipuris, the Sanamahist Manipuris and Muslim Manipuris are best known across the state of Manipur, for preparing various delightful recipes of beef 🍛Curry. Many Christians do also relish the meat with delight.
However, among the Sanamahist population, vegetarians are excluded from the consumption section.
So, the answer is yes, except for Hindus ''
Please note that pasting an article from a public opinion site doesnot represents the entire people or caste. Meitei people are quite sensitive in their culture and are noted for not eating meat. Instead they prefer fish, snails, eels, oyesters, crabs etc which are marine products. In the state of manipur there are large part of orthodox people who still donot consume meat. Even outside manipur in assam as well in others parts of northeast they are quite sensitive. There is wrongful mention of consumption of people which misrepresents that all meitei people consume beef. Even chicken is not cooked indoor in a traditional meitei household.
"https://www.britannica.com/topic/Meitei" the sanamahi culture, the apokpa culture are all very traditional. This is very wrong to say meitei people eat beefMetei91 (talk) 16:07, 11 September 2022 (UTC)
thread_title:  what Meitei people eat 

message: In Manipur, When we say, "Meitei" or "Meetei", we could be in general be referring to the Manipuris who live in the valley or specificaly, we could be referring to those Manipuris who are of the Sanamahi religion. In Manipur it is generally accepted that those people who have the "Singh" surname are hindus and those with "Meetei" or "Meitei" are those who follows the Sanamahi religion. So it is my view that this article need to clearly mention the above definitions.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 117.254.228.44 (talk) 17:48, 20 February 2010 (UTC)

replies: text: Indigenous and native means the same. No need to add redundant words in the lead. Also Meitei are not East Asian. Check the East Asian article. Tibeto-Burman languages is a valid group of languages to which Meitei language belong. All ethno-linguistic articles use linguistic identifiers in the lead or geographical. In the case of geography, India is already mentioned. - Fylindfotberserk (talk) 12:50, 29 September 2020 (UTC)

text: The other terms for the group is mentioned in Meitei people#Endonyms and exonyms section. Though it is unsourced. No need to readd them in the lead. GO through GA article like Greek people. - Fylindfotberserk (talk) 12:51, 29 September 2020 (UTC)

message: As explained to you on various user talk pages, we don't use racial identifiers in pages about ethnic groups. The most natural identifier is geography, by which Meitei people are a South Asian ethnic group (Meitei is the dominant ethnic group in Manipur, a state of India, which is in South Asia. Another optional (and sometimes problematic) identifier is by linguistic affiliation of the language spoken by an ethnic group, in this case Tibeto-Burman. Both these indentifer can be easily supported by reliable sources on ethnology, geography and linguistics. Calling Meitei people "East Asian" is less self-explantory, unless it is understood as a racial identifier, in which case it is highly problematic, since we do not engage in race-based classifcations here in Wikipedia. Please present us WP:reliable sources which call Meitei peoeple "East Asian" here, and we will see if we can get a consensus to make use of such sources. –Austronesier (talk) 16:00, 29 September 2020 (UTC)
