[edit] Hey

Machang Esala Perahera and Esala Mangallaya are the same thing aren't they? I wrote the Esala Perahera article without knowing about the other one. Shall we merge the 2? --snowolfD4^{( talk / @ )} 15:22, 28 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fixing links

Thanks RaveenS 21:28, 2 March 2007 (UTC)

Welcome. I saw a red link their but I knew you can take care that, so kept it as red :-) --♪♫ ĽąĦĩŘǔ ♫♪ ^{walkie-talkie} 21:34, 2 March 2007 (UTC)

I take back accusation that I thought you were Arsath, I know one of you did all the SP's ( I still don’t know who) but now I am sure you and Arsath are not the same, I don’t know how the system snagged both of you wrongly in that mess. :-( I am sorry. Is there is a way for you to resplve it once and for all, I will support such an dendevour. I know I cant apologize to Arsath because he is not active :-) RaveenS 21:40, 2 March 2007 (UTC)

I knew you all will realise that one day . Another one of my confirmed sockpuppet is finishing his MSc this year, and eventhough he is blocked right now, he will be back contributing to the work. Like Arsath said in the arbcomm checkuser is the bullest procedure adopted in the Wikipedia. Not only Arsath, but also User:Ajgoonewardene who has not even violated wp:sock. That poor guy got blocked as one of my sockpuppets just because he was a user of the Sri Lanka Telecom. Somewhere in Wikipedia I mentioned some stuff about Prabha's and Thamil Chelvam's children and I got that part by going through this edit[1] plus the smileys produced by Arsath are awesome too. See how easily we are losing good contributors here? I swear to god, that me and Mystic haven't met in Wikipedia before that TfD started. Anywayz, Thanks a lot for offering to help me to get out of this mess pal, but so far I haven't found a way to resolve this checkuser issue. But if this goes on continuing, Wikipedia will definitely have to adopt an alternative to checkuser procedures --♪♫ ĽąĦĩŘǔ ♫♪ ^{walkie-talkie} 06:32, 5 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] SLR Posts

I see that your having a running battle Sar23, Can't say that I have much love for him or his editing style, though I am intrigued about your discussion with him on the SLR Talk Page.

Would you care to elaborate to someone with know background knowledge, you don't have to, just very curious.--Sharz 07:36, 5 March 2007 (UTC)

What are you up to now? just very curious. --♪♫ ĽąĦĩŘǔ ♫♪ ^{walkie-talkie} 08:21, 5 March 2007 (UTC)

Lol, in all honestly, nothing, I'm just very curious what your discussion is about because it makes almost absolutely no sense what your saying to each other, yet you both understand. Don't worry about it. Just bored because I'm not editing for a couple of days per my support for SlR: Cease Edit Warring. --Sharz 06:12, 6 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Assasinations of LTTE members attributed to Sri Lankan government

I have added a "{{prod}}" template to the article Assasinations of LTTE members attributed to Sri Lankan government, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but I don't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and I've explained why in the deletion notice (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may contest the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page. Also, please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. snowolfD4^{( talk / @ )} 16:20, 7 March 2007 (UTC)

I am back from a month long wikibreak. Long time no see! How are things for you? Peace. --James, La gloria è a dio 02:34, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

I was gone from there also for longer than wikipedia. It is a mess because there really was no one to lead it. Currently I am putting RyGuy in charge of setting it up. I really do not have the time to. You can help out there but it is a mess so you may not want to go there. Have a nice week :) --James, La gloria è a dio 16:29, 11 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Hi

Hi I'm very new to wikipedia, and thought your user page was very catchy, so i'm gonna sort of borrow it and take some more ideas if that's ok with you. then i can mix and match and make my user page. thanks, Lankan-black-knight 23:29, 11 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Sri Lanka Army

Yo, the article is looking pretty good. We need to add a few more citations especially for the mid sections of the article. Also I'll go through it and try to fix any grammar / wording problems when I'm done with the Sri Lankan Civil War article. Think we should go for a peer review afterwards? --snowolfD4^{( talk / @ )} 05:08, 12 March 2007 (UTC)

Ah gud gud carry on carry on. In upcoming days I'll fix the remaining refs. I'll try my best to find the citations from my book too. Happy Editing!!! --♪♫ ĽąĦĩŘǔ ♫♪ ^{walkie-talkie} 05:26, 12 March 2007 (UTC)

OK sure machan. Its best if we can find refs from other websites as well so I'll look into that. If you also can try to find refs from other websites.

And another thing we need to get rid of most of the red links. Do you think you can start a few stub articles like for Puran Appu and the listed operations like Jayasikuru? --snowolfD4^{( talk / @ )} 18:02, 14 March 2007 (UTC)

Ya the deletion thing has been there since last month. I commented on the request, and no one has replied or done anything yet. So I was thinking I'll remove the tags in a few days. --snowolfD4^{( talk / @ )} 18:05, 14 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:20061016 02.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:20061016 02.jpg. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Jkelly 22:10, 13 March 2007 (UTC)

I don't completely understand Fair use rationale, but adding a second boilerplate fair use template likely does not satisfy the requirements. Please try reading these two articles and ask Jkelly if they don't make sense to you. ~ BigrTex 14:02, 14 March 2007 (UTC)

It is not at all obvious to me that there is an appropriate Wikipedia:Fair use claim here. It looks very much like we are just illustrating an article with unfree content. Given that the photography itself is not being discussed, this does not appear to be any reason, beyond our own convenience, to republish this photograph. Jkelly 17:06, 15 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Sanity check

Burning of Jaffna library I just wasted a lot of time copy editing it. When you read, does it piss you off as a Sinhalese or is it neutral. Just let me know, because I am trying to write a neutral article without hiding the truth. Thanks 17:46, 15 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Sarath Fonseka

Hey Lahiru! I googled Sarath Fonseka and found the article on him at army.lk. I think something should be done about the WP article because it is too similar to the one at the army site, which I think is against WP policy. Cheers, Krankman 15:26, 18 March 2007 (UTC)

Yeah I know that. I wholesale copied that from army.lk and still I can't understand why I did that. These days I'm busy with Sri Lanka Army article together Snowolfd4. I tried to change the article few times. So you can find the General Fonseka on here too. It's the upgraded version of the wiki article. I have made slight changes like adding an infobox. Feel free to edit my sandbox and change that as you want. And if you want, update the wiki article as like that. --♪♫ ĽąĦĩŘǔ ♫♪ ^{walkie-talkie} 15:49, 18 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Reformatting of the discussion on Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Rajkumar Kanagasingam

Thank you for trying to clean up the format of the discussion that's going on in Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Rajkumar Kanagasingam. However, the formatting that you did put my comment into the wrong place. Because of this, we know that at least one part of the discussion was put out of order by the reformatting. It's possible that other parts of the discussion were put out of order, as well, since people use the indenting to show to whom they're replying. I reverted your edit, not because I think you were acting in bad faith, but because one shouldn't do that kind of reformatting unless one is absolutely certain that that it's correct. Thank you for making the attempt, though. LastChanceToBe 09:13, 19 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] National anthem

Machan, there is only one version of national anthem and it is in Sinhalese.Since we are editing in english wikipedia I don't mind having the English translation but there shouldn't be any other non-existing(officially) versions .If you take india for an example, there are hundreds of languages in india BUT their national anthem is in Bengali.. Even in USA national anthem is in English even though people from all over the world live there.--Iwazaki ^{会話。討論} 15:15, 22 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Vandalism?

You removed a contribution that included specific references from a section that specifically asked for refences with this request: "Some information in this section is not attributed to sources and may not be reliable. Please check for inaccuracies, and modify and cite sources as needed."

What is the vandalism, which you claim to have seen & removed?

You are hasty. When somebody has taken the time to make a contribution have the common courtesy to (1) let them finish it & (2) give them a chance to respond before considering removal.

Thank you for arising that question. I warned you on 20:35. So it means I warned you to your last immediate edit. This one.[3] On that edit you have removed a whole paragraph without justifying it by an edit summary. So I have misunderstood your edit as an nonconstructive edit.
