[edit] Sandbox
Raveen, I think you should be part of this regarding the Arsath case [1].
[edit] An interesting article I read
Hi Raveen S. I wanted to pass on an article I read. It's called Double standards and appeared on this site, as well as on here. [2]. It talks about the massacre in Kathiraveli and another massacre in Beit Hanoun. It cites the Asian tribune on one occasion - a site that is hardly a benchmark of credible journalism, but anyway I thought you might want to read the article. I think it's good.Citermon 08:12, 23 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Kumar Ponnambalam
I created the initial article about kumar, although I do not anyway agree with his controversial political views, as a person he was a well articulated who had many singhalese friends. I have run into trouble citing sources, maybe you can continue to improve on it. I do not think that it qualifies as state sponsored terrorism however as it appears to be a personal issue with regard to kumars political views by the despicable Mahen Ratwatte. Ratwatte's sons as a whole are a national disgrace and there actions should not constitute as a expression of the sinhala viewpoint. Kumar was towing the LTTE line for many years quite freely in the heart of colombo, this appears to be more of a personal vendetta rather than a state event. Kerr avon 14:19, 23 November 2006 (UTC)

- Thanks I will look into it. Agree we should be very careful about the word State terrorism as you have find a RS that says it was. I learnt that much from the debateRaveenS 14:21, 23 November 2006 (UTC)
- I made some more modifications citing newspapers excerpts regarding Kumar and tried to maintain a NPOV with regard to the parties involved. Please feel free to edit it, as it needs polishing and more research to make a good article, regardless of his political views he was a good man who as a lawyer defended sinhalese people too sometimes appearing free of charge when he saw social injustice. You have shown yourself to be a good editor and with your knowledge of Tamil affairs you should be able to improve it considerably. Thanks.Kerr avon 18:34, 23 November 2006 (UTC)

- though u said IF, you sounded like pretty much sure it was me.Please follow the wiki process instead of having baseless accusations on a fellow wikipedian

- well..you sounded like pretty much sure it was me..And since then,you have emphasizes the IF part, and these accusations are completely irrelevant to me, i simply choose to ignore the whole things..For creating new articles, having seen what happened to the article "terrorist attack carried out by the LTTE" and seen how biased are some "decision making people", i guess i need to think a million times before doing anything here.anyway, thanks for the idea.--Iwazaki 03:47, 28 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Rajkumar Kanagasingam
Though the Rajkumar Kanagasingam was posted by me to the wikipedia originally but wrongly as a newbie (and still feel so), it was actually created by Wackymacs[3] and subsequently shaped by others [4], [5], [6], [7] and [8].
After they all have given notability for Rajkumar Kanagasingam only, I started to shape the Rajkumar Kanagasingam.
The Daily News of Sri Lanka [9] is a Sri Lanka's National Newspaper since 1918 and the widest read newspaper in Sri Lanka and overseas.
Rajkumar Kanagasingam has published articles over the years and the following articles [10], [11], [12] and [13] are available online since 2002.
Though the articles have been written by the subject Rajkumar Kanagasingam, the facts he has mentioned in those articles might have well accepted by the populace without any complaint before he published the next article over the years and might have established some credibility within the Editorial circle as well.
I wonder why those articles can't be considered as Reference for Rajkumar Kanagasingam.
The Press Release in Daily News [14] could speak for Rajkumar Kanagasingam's association with leading Sri Lankan and international personalities and adding notability for Rajkumar Kanagasingam.
The US State Department's Office of Weapons Removal and Abatements "Safe Passage" Newsletter carried a news[15] on "Night of A Thousand Dinners" which was organised jointly by Asian-German Sports Exchange Program and PDIP, A Think Tank which was founded by Rajkumar Kanagasingam.
As the PDIP's Secretary-General, his activities in the available publications (on-line) will speak for his achievements.
All of his above attempts are substantial enough for a fair testimony for his notability among Sri Lankans and gives weight of his book German Memories in Asia which is about-to-be-released.
Ezine Articles may be "Vanity Press" but the contents in most of the articles by Rajkumar Kanagasingam are falling in the lines of well-researched and well-documented articles than those of mere Search Engine Optimization (SEO) ones.
After all his Ezine Articles are linking to his Book/Author Info. Page in AGSEP[16], which is an NGO and not to his personal or affiliated sites with ulterior motives of Ad Sense and click-gimmicks. As an author he is trying his fair attempt for his book without any hidden baits.
Some of the linkings might be Link Farms as I am a newbie of mere three months, but you should consider few of the internationally prominent people I have so far created and those have been left out in the wikipedia so far, especially Dr. Gamani Corea and others.
I have spent lot of my time to keep Dominic Jeeva from deletion with rest of my creations Arumaipperumal and Pandara Vannian which are not falling into the Link Farms.
The Internet is introduced after the mid nineties and still most of the news items are not falling into the web-world. By expecting reference for testing a person's notability with on-line reference materials might be some times misleading where the particular persons' references are mostly in off-line media archives.
Internet is mostly weighing a person's prominence based on the Internet availability in English and few other languages and not in all other world or local languages.
I don't have any objections if suitable and appropriate deleting Rajkumar Kanagasingam from wikipedia, but my kind expectation is at least wikipedia should attempt to have a survey among Sri Lankans through its available means whether Rajkumar Kanagasingam is prominent enough or not among Sri Lankans.

[edit] LTTE mediation
Mediation on Wikipedia:Mediation Cabal/Cases/2006-10-20 Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam will resume in 24 hours. We still don't have a representative for the position that the proscription should be removed from the intro. You seem like a good editor, so please consider signing up under "Other parties". — Sebastian 22:01, 13 December 2006 (UTC)
