[edit] Biased article

This article seriously violates all WP policies on living people, many libelous statements about a living person from no reputable WP:RS sources have been added, I will start removing non reputable surces one by one if no serious effort is made to edit it by current editors.RaveenS

Once I heard about the Solhiem allegations, I just knew someone was going to put up the Daily New or Asiantribune garbage on here. I second RaveenS take on this. This page has descended into a platform to throw mud at Solhiem by disaffected Sri Lankan government supporters. Elalan 18:03, 29 November 2006 (UTC)

Editors should read WP:BLP RaveenS

The fact that Karuna's allegations are prominent enough to make Solheim deny it[1], justifies the inclusion. Also with regard to WP:RS, it is important to note that this was a interview given by karuna to the daily news paper, which was copied and featured verbatim on asian tribune. Hence it is a reliable source, besides other sources are used.

Conversly eelamist sites which feature verbatim copies of daily newspapers can be used as sources, as we have very few online newspapers and if the copy is verbatim then the fact wether it is featured on a eelamist site or a so called nationalistic site should not make it fail a WP:RS. Anyway the issue of asiantribune as not been a WP:RS, is your own view and not a consensus of a majority.Kerr avon 11:36, 6 December 2006 (UTC)
