Hey, thanks for the help with uploading photos with license. The article A. E. Goonesinha which I authored, was deleted within abut 20mins from addition for unambiguous copyright infringement. So now I've modified it, and am longing to add it again. But since it's mentioned to inform the people who deleted it, I did so. But those users seem to be having their own problems, cz 1 has been locked, etc. So it's ok for me to add it now right?? Thanks.. Gihaned (talk) 07:10, 3 January 2010 (UTC)

Hi. I am the editor who requested an investigation into your uploading of images at Wikipedia:Contributor copyright investigations. Just to explain, this was in reponse to my noticing File:British Sri Lankans born ic Sri Lanka.png, and that you had a large number of comments on your talk page about image copyright violations. I hadn't expected a block to result and I didn't request this. It's good to see you back editing though and especially pleasing that you now seem to be helping to fix copyright issues with images that you have uploaded in the past. Cordless Larry (talk) 22:20, 14 January 2010 (UTC)
You may have forgotten that you have an article, List of Sri Lankan monarchs, at FLC here. You forgot to transclude it onto WP:FLC, but that was done 4 days ago. Numerous opposes have been raised, and it will probably be archived if you don't respond to them. Cheers, Mm40 (talk) 12:47, 19 January 2010 (UTC)
I have nominated List of Sri Lankan Moors, an article that you created, for deletion. I do not think that this article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and have explained why at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of Sri Lankan Moors. Your opinions on the matter are welcome at that same discussion page; also, you are welcome to edit the article to address these concerns. Thank you for your time.

Why did you move the article 'Don Juan Dharmapala' to 'Dharmapala of Sri Lanka'? No one calls him 'Dharmapala of Sri Lanka'?,(he was one of the most disgraced kings in sri lankan history ).He has done nothing in his life to earn such a big title and usually kings are known by their names.His name was Don Juan Dharmapala .

Hello. Your account has been granted the "reviewer" userright, allowing you to review other users' edits on certain flagged pages. Pending changes, also known as flagged protection, is currently undergoing a two-month trial scheduled to end 15 August 2010.
Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not autoconfirmed to articles placed under pending changes. Pending changes is applied to only a small number of articles, similarly to how semi-protection is applied but in a more controlled way for the trial. The list of articles with pending changes awaiting review is located at Special:OldReviewedPages.
When reviewing, edits should be accepted if they are not obvious vandalism or BLP violations, and not clearly problematic in light of the reason given for protection (see Wikipedia:Reviewing process). More detailed documentation and guidelines can be found here.
If you do not want this userright, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. Courcelles (talk) 05:14, 20 June 2010 (UTC)

Thank you for your advice. In the template Kaffir or the Portuguese creole linked twice in the "least spoken" section Template:Languages_of_Sri_Lanka. If Arabic is a formerly spoken language then we can add many languages like Chinese and Greek to that secction. That's why I removed the text and I don't want to vandalize as you people may call it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by අඛිල (talk • contribs) 05:47, 24 June 2010 (UTC)

You have been providing a wealth of contributions to Wikipedia, especially in the subject of Sri Lanka. Great job! However, very few (if any) of the articles you create have references. Most have one or two external links, but no references and no citations. I have gone through and put cleanup tags on many of the articles that you've created in the last few months. Please try to add references to future articles that you create. The following links may help you:

Hello Blackknight12! I have seen your recent immigration articles and just would like to point out one thing regarding their titles.....it is better if you move the titles of pages like Japanese Sri Lankan, Chinese Sri Lankan, Korean Sri Lankan and Pakistani Sri Lankan to "Japanese people in Sri Lanka," "Chinese people in Sri Lanka", "Koreans in Sri Lanka" etc...these people are mostly expatriates and it is unlikely they would have Sri Lankan nationality or citizenship and hence refer to themselves as such. The terms are also nonexistent with hardly any results on google showing such groups. I would nominally be fine with Indian Sri Lankan as that is a bordering country and there is flow of citizens, but the other countries are really quite distinct. Mar4d (talk) 05:15, 31 October 2010 (UTC)
There are no sources discussing their spoken languages or their religions. Please do not add unsourced entries in infoboxes. I have also reverted your unexplained page blanking of the British Sri Lankan redirect, for the second time (you did the same thing last year without explanation either). This is a perfectly valid redirect; many immigrant groups in the United Kingdom are referred to as "British Xyz", such as British Chinese, British Indians, British Pakistanis, etc. Thank you. cab (call) 06:06, 31 October 2010 (UTC)
