Hello Blackknight12, I came cross some your edits and those edits convinced me you are an enthusiastic editor. But enthusiasm alone won't make you a good editor. some of your edits certainly looks bit lousy such as this. You can't leave articles half created. so read Wikipedia:Writing better articles. I hope it'll make you a better edotor. Happy New Year! and With Regards,--chanakal (talk) 04:01, 1 January 2009 (UTC)
Thanks for uploading File:Sri Lanka Navy Seal.jpg. You've indicated that the image meets Wikipedia's criteria for non-free content, but there is no explanation of why it meets those criteria. Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. If you have any questions, please post them at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions.
Thank you for your cooperation. NOTE: once you correct this, please remove the tag from the image's page. STBotI (talk) 08:00, 12 January 2009 (UTC)
What are the sources for the five different images in this montage? --Hammersoft (talk) 14:07, 16 January 2009 (UTC)
I noticed that you showed an interest in Sri Lanka related articles. Please take a look at WikiProject Sri Lanka Reconciliation, a bipartisan effort to improve collaboration on and coverage of the Sri Lankan Civil War. Among other things, we collected a number of recommendations for getting your point across while keeping out of trouble. We're here to help! In any event, we invite you to leave us a message on our talk page.
Happy editing! Particularly, your input on this discussion would be helpful, since it concerns a template you have created. Chamal talk 11:42, 27 January 2009 (UTC)

Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on File:Sri Lankan Cricket team evacuating Gaddafi Stadium.PNG, by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because File:Sri Lankan Cricket team evacuating Gaddafi Stadium.PNG is an image with a clearly invalid fair use tag; or it is an image that fails some part of the non-free content criteria and the uploader has been given 48 hours' notification (for images uploaded after 2006-07-13) or seven days' notification (for images uploaded before that date). (CSD I7).
To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting File:Sri Lankan Cricket team evacuating Gaddafi Stadium.PNG, please affix the template ((hangon)) to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD.

Thanks for uploading File:Kandy City Logo.PNG. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).
If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not.

Hi,
Thank you for your support but don't know if you have already noticed but 'Sri Lankan Tamil'section, has some sort of restriction for editing. Apparently its for the moment. Its unfortunate, because I was about to put in a important reference concerning the 'Eastern Tamils'. Basically the reference of the book by K D DeSilva. That has the letters by Emerson Tennat.
I am sure, you know how important it is to have the truth on the Wikipedia website and all sides be represented and not just allow the narrow minded terror supporters side.

Hi again lol,
I have re-added the deleted text and have also put in a lot more references.
I know who deleted it plus put the editing restriction, he is a Tamil guy called 'Obi2canibe'. It is really silly, that he can talk about rights but that right involves restricting my right to put the true facts out their. U know??

This edit of yours is unacceptable
Combining these two points, your revert was clearly disruptive. If you continue to abuse your editing privileges in this way, the sanctions detailed under WP:DISRUPT will apply. --dab (��) 11:34, 17 May 2009 (UTC)
if you continue to restore unreferenced material without as much as the pretense of discussion or presenting a source, I will take it upon myself to block you. --dab (��) 12:07, 17 May 2009 (UTC)
I already gave you a source which verifies my restoration of the page, and a reason justifying it. If you want to discuss it then we shall discuss it but don't go around threatening to personally block someone for something as small and as stupid as a couple of words that may not have been directly referenced. As I already gave in the Talk:Sri Lanka page here is a reference from a website of an organization for the Mahavamsa [1] which clearly states "the people who forged our nation, from the coming of Vijaya in 543 BCE". Thanks
Blackknight12 (talk) 13:44, 17 May 2009 (UTC)
Hello I wanted to ask you something. I saw that you update the Sri Lankan civil war articles preaty much so could you do me a favor. I made major edits last night to 2008–2009 Sri Lankan Army Northern offensive given the latest developments, but an administrator I have a serious beef with reverted all of my edits and will block me if I come near the article again. Could you please see what edits I made and he reverted and if you could write in your own words some of the material that you think needs to be mentioned. I think that the four things that need to be done are:
1. Infobox - add in LTTE casualties part 2,515 killed in 2009 (SLA claim) and add this reference [2] beside the existing two.
2. Casualties section - Add a sentance Another 2,515 LTTE militants were reported to have been killed between January and May 2009., the ref I already gave you can be used, and I think the place for the sentance is in the paragraph about the LTTE's casualties, right before the sentance on the SLA's casualties by the end of October last year.
3.LTTE's last stand section - I think this paragraph should be put at the end of the section The Tigers managed to hold out against the SLA for another month, but by mid-May the end was near for the LTTE. In the first two weeks of May tens of thousands of refugees poured out of rebel territory after the military made wholes in the LTTE's defences. In these final stages of the war, between May 7 and May 14, around 1,000 civilians were killed in the fighting, mostly by SLA artillery fire into the no-fire zone. By May 15, all civilians had been evacuated from the no-fire zone and the military stated the war will be over in 48 hours. In those last 48 hours of fighting the LTTE conducted massive suicide bomb attacks on advancing troops and were in general not surrendering but dying in battle. Early on May 16, the SLA forces coming in from the north linked up with the forces coming in from the south on the coastline, effectively cutting off the Tigers from the sea. Now they were boxed in and surrounded by the SLA on a territory only 1.2 square mile in size, with their back against the Mullaittivu lagoone., you can use this ref [3]
4.Final defeat section - I think this section should be made as a sub-section of LTTE's last stand. It should look something like this:
The same day that the coastline fell, on May 16, 2009, President Mahinda Rajapaksa declared military victory over the Tigers after 26 years of conflict. Also during the day, for the first time in their long struggle against the Sri Lankan government, the rebels were offering to lay down their weapons in return for a guarantee of safety. Sri Lanka's disaster relief and human-rights minister Mahinda Samarasinghe stated 'The military phase is over. The LTTE has been militarily defeated. Now the biggest hostage rescue operation in the world has come to a conclusion. The figure I have here is since 20th of April, 179,000 hostages have been rescued.'
On May 17, a group of about 70 Tigers tried to cross the lagoone to the other side in six boats and escape, but they were all killed by the SLA. Also, SLA special forces rescued seven POW's (three soldiers and four sailors). The four sailors had been in captivity since November 2006. During the day, rebel official Selvarasa Pathmanathan conceded defeat saying in an email statement "This battle has reached its bitter end". However the rebel leader Velupillai Prabhakaran had yet to be captured or confirmed killed so the threat of a new guerrilla offensive was still a possibility. Several rebel fighters committed suicide when they became surrounded and it was unknown if Prabhakaran was among them. Late in the evening, SLA special forces conducted a raid in which they killed: Charles Anthony, the eldest son of the LTTE leader, Balasingham Nadesan, the leader of the political wing of the LTTE, Seevaratnam Puleedevan, head of the LTTE's peace secretariat, and Ramesh, a top military leader.
5.LTTE's last stand sectio - Final defeat sub-section - And finaly I think you should write about the LTTE's leader, how he was killed this morning, driving in an armored van (ambulance) straight into the SLA's lines along with a bus full of his fighters. And how he and the others died, mention the Naval and Intelligence wing commanders that were also killed.
If you agree with any of these sugestions please make the edits, as it is now the article doesn't have too much of an informated ending. Cheers!188.2.194.99 (talk) 13:19, 18 May 2009 (UTC)
I saw what you put in the article and it looks realy, realy great and I thank you, a lot, but you left out the number of Tigers that's claimed by the SLA to have died in 2009 and the paragraph on the end of LTTE's last stand section about the fall of the coastline on May 16, the government realy celebrated the linking of the two SLA forces from the north and south. Also, here are the references for the POW's [4], the raid that killed the son of the leader [5] and the killing of the 70 rebels in the boats [6], I forgot to give them to you earlier.

Hi, I noticed that you added a new table listing many ions to Ion. Is there a reason this is not merged with the existing table? Also, per the talk page, it seems that making a large list of ions is not really very useful. The existing tables were trimmed down from the original long list based on this discussion; I'm not sure if it should have more or less entries. At any rate, we do have a category for ions, so I'm inclined to just delete these long lists; but I thought we should discuss this first. Thanks!—Tetracube (talk) 16:49, 26 May 2009 (UTC)

You have said that I have pasted content from this site but that is untrue. I have never seen or been on to that page of the site and I do not regard it as credible. Tamilnet is a completely racist and biased source which I do not use.

I pasted material after the warning because I just didn't happen to read the warning properly, it was a mistake and not because I was trying to avoid detection. All my contributions are of good faith and not vandalism. I will make sure I will follow Wikipedia's policies in the future.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised because, 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. –Juliancolton | Talk 20:26, 5 June 2009 (UTC)
Hi. Further revision is necessary at Talk:Battle of Chalai/Temp. Compare this section of the source:
Sri Lanka Army sources said that the LTTE had sent a child suicide bomber to attack the Army 55 Division frontline yesterday (Feb 4). According to the sources, the child suicide bomber possibly between 13-16 years of age had exploded himself around 8.30 PM after reaching the soldiers in guise of a civilian seeking refuge with them. The sources said that explosion could harm only one soldier as the others had managed to move into safer distance after identifying the suspicious behaviour of the suicide bomber. The sources added citing eyewitness account that child soldier had behaved in a manner as he had been drugged or severely harassed before the mission.
With the article:
Sri Lanka Army sources stated that during the battle the LTTE had sent a child suicide bomber to attack the Army 55 Division on February 4. The child suicide bomber is thought to be between 13–16 years of age [and] exploded himself around 8.30 PM after reaching the soldiers [as if a] civilian seeking refuge. The child soldier...in a manner as [if] he had been drugged or severely harassed before the mission exploded the bomb wounded one soldier.
(I've added the bolding to help demonstrate the problem.) We can utilize brief segments of quotation, but otherwise have to put it completely in our own words. Cutting out a few here and there or altering "in guide of" to "as if a" is not sufficient. (There's a helpful user essay about this, at WP:Close paraphrasing.)
Material such as this could be revised completely in a style like so:
On February 4th, at about 8:30 p.m., a 13-16 year-old child approached the Army 55 Division frontline as if he were seeking refuge. The boy, whom witnesses described as behaving as if previously "drugged or severely harassed", was not a civilian, but a suicide bomber who wounded one soldier when he triggered his bomb.[1]
(If you like that rephrasing, feel free to use it. Of course, you are welcome to rewrite it differently if you'd prefer, so long as you put everything except brief direct quotations into your own words.)
Please look over this temporary page again to see if other material draws too heavily on those sources. I'll be happy to reevaluate when you believe it has been sufficiently revised. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 17:29, 8 June 2009 (UTC)
The loss of Vidattaltivu continued that army's advance to end the war and proofed to be a fatal blow on LTTE as they had lost their most important Sea base. The Tigers were forced to shift their Sea-Tiger assets to a makeshift camp further Northwards with the loss of its well-established sea-borne operation base.
The source says:
Defence observers are in the view that the loss of Vidattaltivu would cast a fatal blow on LTTE as it has lost the most important Sea-Tiger base in the present context. According to them the terrorists has no other option than to shift their Sea-Tiger assets to a makeshift camp further Northwards with the loss of its well-established sea borne operation base.
Vidattaltivu was a well-established, strategically important base for the LTTE Sea-Tiger assets, the loss of which forced the sea-borne operations of the LTTE northwards to an improvised location.
I see in your recent edits you have been adding Category:Sri Lankan people to articles, I don't wish to discourage your editing but given the wide scope of such a category adding it is unnecessary. A category like this should only be used to store subcategories and articles within it should be placed in the appropriate subcategory, for example Farveez Maharoof already has Category:Sri Lankan cricketers so there was no need to add Category:Sri Lankan people. I have therefore placed the CatDiffuse template at the top of the category page to advise all users not to use it. Thank you. --Jpeeling (talk) 21:07, 26 June 2009 (UTC)

When your change to the redirect was reverted, you should have initiated a discussion of the issue instead of repeating the same edit -- please see WP:BRD. Among other things, changing this redirect requires reviewing and possibly changing over one thousand links to Ceylon in other articles, so it is disruptive if the redirect is changed frequently. Please don't engage in edit warring. --R'n'B (call me Russ) 10:33, 18 July 2009 (UTC)
Some one keeps deleting sections of the section titled GENECTIC STUDIES in the Sinhalese people page. I see even you have undid vandalism in this section and I thank you
I included a university of Stanford study conducted in 2003/2004 on South Asian ethnic groups including the Sinhalese. The study has used the methods of MX1 Locus, mtDNA analyses, Y-chromosome analyses, sequencing and data analysis to carry out the study of all the major South Asian ethnic groups.
Some one keeps deleting sections of it claiming that the word "India" is mentioned in the Stanford source. But the study in Stanford clearly states multiple times that it has included Sinhalese and Sri Lanka as well on the studies. So I think it a valid source must be included in the Sinhalese people section.
Can you or someone please curtail the editing on this page or stop people of removing chunks of info and sources.

Thanks for your valuable comments and ideas you gave. thanks a lot friend. I feel happy and willing to work with all Sri Lankan here. Also as you said , i also do more revisions and improve a lot in Eastern province and other non-tamil provinces of sri lanka. Take it easy. cheers!--BlueLankan 01:24, 8 August 2009 (UTC)
I think it's best to ignore him (he's not an admin so he can't block anyone) and get a source for Elara's status as invader. I'll try to get some up there maybe.
The whole article is pretty bad though. I wish there were some Sinhalese around to fix our articles on here. :( HumanFrailty (talk) 05:09, 12 August 2009 (UTC)
I am agree with you when you're saying Elara is an invading South Indian King. But to have a reference is always better. Don't use internal articles as a reference. I saw his edit summary which I think some what a strong accusation. I don't think ignore him is a good idea as advocated by HF. Because you might get into an editwar if you do so. I advise you to resolve this in diplomatic way as much as you can. Try WP:DISPUTE perhaps. Best!--Chanaka L (talk) 05:39, 12 August 2009 (UTC)
A tag has been placed on User:Blackknight12/List of historical Sri Lankan overseas military operations, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to have no meaningful content or history, and the text is unsalvageably incoherent. If the page you created was a test, please use the sandbox for any other experiments you would like to do. Feel free to leave a message on my talk page if you have any questions about this.
If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding ((hangon))
to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you. BlueLankan 21:08, 21 August 2009 (UTC)

Hi
Since I'm fairly new around this place I'm wondering about what constitutes vandalism?
I'm referring to the following edit: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=SriLankan_Airlines&diff=315617841&oldid=315605783 where my edit was tagged as 'vandalism'.
I couldn't care less if my edits are reverted, but I dislike being called or accused of vandalism for no apparent reason, especially as I was editing the article out of good faith, to make it easier for all to read (and corrected the name and fleet sections of the article).
Hoping for some help from an experienced user so that I don't offend anyone else in the future.
Take care
Regards

Its long since I talked with u .. How u do? I have seen the articles on other provinces of Sri Lanka is still not wrote well or nothing seem developed. I am quite sad on it. I can do that but I am need some body to help me. As i hailed from North i did easily for Northern Province, as i lived away from Sri Lanka for many years i cannot able to contribute on other provinces regardless its Tamil Province or not. Any how hope to Develop the articles on Other provinces well soon. See u yaa.. --BlueLankan 16:47, 28 September 2009 (UTC)

Could you let me know why you removed the content about the Jaffna Kingdom from the above article with this edit? I'm assuming it's because you've created List of monarchs of the Jaffna kingdom but I don't understand the rationale as to why you've chosen to exile only the Jaffna Kingdom, a Sri Lankan monarchy, to a new article whilst keeping the rest, including the non-Sri Lankan monarchies (Europeans, Indians, South East Asian), in the article.--obi2canibetalk contr 16:36, 8 November 2009 (UTC)
Hi :) I was wondering if you have any sources mentioning the kingdom of Vijitapura. I haven't heard about this, and all the books I have say that the few rulers before the Anuradhapura kingdom ruled from "Upatissagama" (and Tambapanni before that). List of monarchs of Sri Lanka also mentions this, but I don't know if this is a mistake or not. ≈ Chamal talk ¤ 10:35, 11 November 2009 (UTC)

Hello Blackknight12, and thanks for your work patrolling new changes. I am just informing you that I declined the speedy deletion of List of monarchs of Ruhuna - a page you tagged - because: Category doesn't apply, and it seems a reasonable redirect to me. Take to RfD if required. . Please review the criteria for speedy deletion before tagging further pages. If you have any questions or problems, please let me know. GedUK 08:30, 24 November 2009 (UTC)
Please don't move pages by copying the content from one title and pasting it at another. This is a violation of the GFDL. Also, the existing title "Sri Lankans in the United Kingdom" is standard for the entire series of articles, except in those cases where a preponderance of reliable sources use some other name. If you would like to propose a move, see the directions at WP:RM#Requesting potentially controversial moves. Thanks, cab (talk) 15:12, 24 November 2009 (UTC)
Hey, I've been good, just really busy with school. I've wanted to edit, but I don't have too much free time right now. Plus I needed a little break after all the nonsense that went on lol. I see WPLK is in your good hands though :) You've been doing a seriously amazing job with the new articles.
I'm going to try and edit a bit more, but I have finals coming up in a couple of weeks so I don't think I can be too active till after. And thanks for asking and keep up the awesome work. --snowolfD4 ( talk / @ ) 16:42, 28 November 2009 (UTC)
Dear editor,
I have noticed that you are changing Level 2 Headers from [== Level 2 Header ==] to [==Level 2 Header==]. Please note that the space between the titles are the default format of headers (although they do not affect any visual appearance), you may confirm this by clicking the A in the edit this page link.
Also, i have noticed that you are adding __TOC__ to short articles. Please note that TOCs are only for large articles. And using them on smaller articles will only degrade appearances (hence the __NOTOC__ was created). Just so you know, I primarily do wikiformatting (appearance-related edits) and facts relating to Energy. Kind regards. Rehman (talk) 10:39, 1 December 2009 (UTC)
Hi. When you want to suggest that two articles (such as British Tamil and Sri Lankans in the United Kingdom) be merged, you need to add templates to both and start a discussion on the destination article's talk page, setting out your rationale for the merger.

Hi, Do you think it is relevant and representative to have the two images of the Sinhala woman and man in the article? Thoes pictures are pieces of art, and do not really represent anything Sinhalese, but work of a foriegn photographer. Her work has no value in documenting anything of anthoropolical value. Why don't we try to find some good pictures? I have browsed the web. There are good pictures, but I don't want to upload anything before copyright issues are clarified. Regards SriSuren (talk) 04:20, 9 December 2009 (UTC)
The section on genetic studies specially is a mess - it seems like or rather it is quite evident that the Tamils are running the show here with a lot of propaganda and direct lies and distortions, and Sinhalese don't care what is written here.
I have noticed this article is messed up and I have tried many times to fix it but it keeps on being changed. I don't think that it is that the Sinhalese don't care what is written but that they are just fed up. Watch out for Wikinpg (talk · contribs) he is the one who wrote the Genetic Studies and he seems to be very bias and or stubborn, plus the topic of Genetic Studies of the Sinhalese People have been a very heated topic in the talk section and I do not think it has come to a proper conclusion so I wonder if you would like to discuss the purpose of that section. Also if you don't mind and you have the time I propose we spend the next couple of days totally fixing this article once and for all.
Wikinpg is in for a mild shock soon - let him enjoy while he can :).
I'd be grateful if you could educate me on the procedure of protecting copyrights of a media file we add. I find it hard to understand. Thanks..Gihaned (talk) 06:23, 9 December 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading File:President William Gopallawa Cropped.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).
If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of "file" 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 "File" from the dropdown box.

An editor has nominated one or more articles which you have created or worked on, for deletion. The nominated articles are Estonia – Sri Lanka relations, Romania – Sri Lanka relations. We appreciate your contributions, but the nominator doesn't believe that the article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in his/her nomination (see also Wikipedia:Notability and "What Wikipedia is not").
Your opinions on whether the article meets inclusion criteria and what should be done with the article are welcome; please participate in the discussion(s) by adding your comments to the relevant discussion pages: Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Estonia – Sri Lanka relations for Estonia – Sri Lanka relations, Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Romania – Sri Lanka relations for Romania – Sri Lanka relations. Please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~).
You may also edit the article during the discussion to improve it but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion debate.
Please note: This is an automatic notification by a bot. I have nothing to do with this article or the deletion nomination, and can't do anything about it. --Erwin85Bot (talk) 01:06, 14 December 2009 (UTC)

A tag has been placed on 2011 Cricket World Cup squads, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia.

Under the specified criteria, where an article has substantially identical content to that of an article deleted after debate, and any changes in the content do not address the reasons for which the material was previously deleted, it may be deleted at any time.

Thanks for uploading File:Sri Lankan War Flag.gif. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, their copyright should also be acknowledged.
If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Wikipedia:Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 15:45, 28 December 2009 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. J Milburn (talk) 15:45, 28 December 2009 (UTC)
