[edit] List of companies by revenue
Hey IF, I noticed you reverted my revert of your deletion of the stock symbols: as I said in my edit notes, I was hoping we could take the matter to a talk page to get more input. Are you against a broader discussion of this issue? UnitedStatesian 17:36, 22 October 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Tamil Eelam Declaration of Independence March 1, 1990
Hi Ignis,
You deleted my inclusion of Tamil Eelam in the table of Geopolitical Entities under the title Unrecognized Countries. Your comment states that the Tamil Eelam did not declare independence yet.
In fact, there was a legal Declaration of Independence of Tamil Eelam that took place in North East Provincial Council of Sri Lanka on March 1, 1990. Tamil Eelam comprises the North East part of Sri Lanka. The North East Provincial Council made the Unilateral Declaration of Independence (UDI) of Tamil Eelam on March 1, 1990 under the protection of Indian Peace Keeping Force (IPKF). After the declaration IPKF returned to India. The LTTE captured the newly declared Tamil Eelam territory.
Here is a paragraph that describes it: "The hasty move by the EPRLF and Varatharajah Perumal with the Unilateral Declaration of Independence for a separate state of Tamil Eelam presented an opportunity for the Sri Lankan government to dissolve the North-East provincial government. Bradman Weerakoon, in his book Premadasa of Sri Lanka: A Political Biography, wrote, "All political parties in parliament, except the EPRLF condemned Varatharajah Perumal's move. Under the Provincial Council Law of 1987 one of the safeguards to guarantee some autonomy to the Provincial Council had been that the government could not dissolve a Provincial Council by executive fiat. Varatharajah Perumal's UDI provided the opportunity for the government to bring in amending legislation which enabled the government to dissolve, ‘where more than one half of the total membership of a Provincial Council, expressly repudiated or manifestly disavowed obedience to the constitution.'" - pages 69-70 "
Therefore, I am reverting the deletion. --Sooriyajeevan 02:11, 5 November 2007 (UTC)
