I also added that, despite some suggestions they were extinct, per the Berndts' work, it is known than they (aka Tatiara) intermarried with the Yaraldi, hence descendants do exist. So all of your reverts were pointless, if this was the motivation.

Secondly, Wikipedia is governed by
WP:RS, forbids
WP:OR and does not allow advertisements on its page, as you did when you plunked down the following:
Language Contact: Uncle Des Hartman 0408 307 825 | Burrandies Aboriginal Corporation, Mount Gambier, Australia: PO Box 2500, Mount Gambier, South Australia 5290
I.e. esp. in this series of articles, all information must be sourced to reliable authorities, preferably academic books. While distressing (I myself have personal information on at least one tribe, but I cannot use it because it is not published), that's the way the cookie crumbles in this venue.

You are using outdated research. Please see updated Australian Government language website:
https://www.mobilelanguageteam.com.au/languages/bodaruwitj - See, they're accepted as not extinct in their own right. There are elders still living and speaking language.
The research that I included is all credible and includes a Government funded dictionary that was developed in partnership between First Nations representatives and a credited linguist:

It is a contradiction in terms to accuse me of using outdated sources, and then offering a link to the AIATSIS pages for updated information, when that very page cites numerous old sources. It is illogical to cite updated research (the splendid Barry Blake) while laughing at outdated sources, when familiarity with Blake or any other modern linguist will tell you they regard 'old sources' as one of their primary sources for data. In the meantime, I will add some all of the references, old or new, listed on the AIATSIS page you prefer. One click and you can read them all.
