[edit] DYK nomination

Hi, I've nominated an article you worked on, Wasantha Karannagoda, for consideration to appear on the Main Page as part of Wikipedia:Did you know. You can see the hook for the article at Template talk:Did you know#Articles created on May 18 where you can improve it if you see fit. MeegsC | Talk 01:12, 20 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Sri Lanka (Republic date)

Thank you for adding a Republic date to the Sri Lanka article under Independence. Becoming a Republic is certainly an important part of Independence, and adding it has brought it into line with other country articles. My previous attempt in February to do so proved to be in vain, as it was removed almost immediately by a user without any justification or consensus whatsoever. Hopefully it will stick this time!

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:SLN 5.jpg

Hi Natraven. The article still needs a detailed fair use rationale, saying what that particular image is needed for that specific page. Basically, it needs an explanation (the template {{Non-free use rationale}} helps) for why it should be allowed given all the criteria. Overall, the question is why would it be so difficult for someone to take a free (copyright-wise) picture of the Sri Lankan Navy that Wikipedia needs to use a copyrighted image? -- Ricky81682 (talk) 06:16, 8 October 2007 (UTC)

Hi there. I fixed the fairuse rationale but try to add the exact source URL. Chrees --♪♫ ĽąĦĩŘǔ ♫♪ walkie-talkie | tool box 10:11, 8 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Your new articles

Hello. I see that you added two new articles as Ultra fast attack boat and Super Dvora class fast patrol boat. But I see that you copied those articles entirely from http://www.israeli-weapons.com/weapons/naval/super_dvora2/SuperDvora2.html and from the http://www.naval-technology.com/contractors/patrol/colombo/. If any admin notice those articles they will delete asap. So try write new articles with your own words ;-) --♪♫ ĽąĦĩŘǔ ♫♪ walkie-talkie | tool box 18:03, 31 October 2007 (UTC)

Sure I'll send it to you. --♪♫ ĽąĦĩŘǔ ♫♪ walkie-talkie | tool box 18:14, 31 October 2007 (UTC)



[edit] Re

Actually I blanked the Category:Wars involving Sri Lanka since it's duplicating with the Category:Battles involving Sri Lanka. But now I feels that I did the wrong thing because it's too conflicting with Category:Military operations involving Sri Lanka --♪♫ ĽąĦĩŘǔ ♫♪ walkie-talkie | tool box 19:15, 31 October 2007 (UTC)

Well Battles and wars comes under the military operations isn't it ;-) --♪♫ ĽąĦĩŘǔ ♫♪ walkie-talkie | tool box 19:25, 31 October 2007 (UTC)
No worries, then lets go to the Category:Wars involving Sri Lanka by moving Military operations and Battles to the Wars. We should keep these cats tidy. Btw did you get my mail? --♪♫ ĽąĦĩŘǔ ♫♪ walkie-talkie | tool box 19:34, 31 October 2007 (UTC)


[edit] An article which you started, or significantly expanded, Ultra Fast Attack Craft, was selected for DYK!

Updated DYK query On November 7, 2007, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Ultra Fast Attack Craft, which you created or substantially expanded. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page.

Thanks for your contributions! ++Lar: t/c 02:38, 7 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] SLR agreement

As a signatory of this agreement, you may be interested that we're currently discussing the WT:SLR#Continuation of SLR agreement. This is just a courtesy notice. — Sebastian 05:43, 20 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] SLR discussion regarding Militia

There is a discussion at WT:SLR involving an edit you made to the article Militia (direct link). You may wish to have a look at the discussion and, perhaps, to voice your thoughts on the matter. Black Falcon (Talk) 20:51, 15 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Vandalism

Hi,

Some one trying to vandalise the article Anura Bandaranaike also removed the citations from RS. --Vimukthi (talk) 21:47, 20 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Lakshman Algama

From the perspective of categorisation guidelines, I think that the Terrorist attacks and Terrorist incidents categories should not appear on these two biographical articles. Note #9 of Wikipedia:Categorization#Guidelines:

Generally, the relationship between an article and its categories should be definable as "(Article) is (category)".

So, while Algama may be a terrorism victim, he can't really be classified as a terrorist incident or attack.

The above was a comment made by an admin on WT:SLR Watchdogb (talk) 15:02, 23 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Nissanka Wijeyeratne

Hey Nitraven! Probably, we will really have to do something about that Fitz Mackins ... we'll get him with 3RR as a start if he goes on like this ... Talk to you soon, cheers, Krankman (talk) 14:22, 26 March 2008 (UTC)

While I certainly think Fitz Mackins actions are out of line, be very careful about violating the three revert rule yourself Nitraven. Meanwhile, I am investigating the matter myself per a request for admin intervention.--Esprit15d • talk • contribs 16:57, 26 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] 1RR reminder for WP:SLR

In light of your recent edits to Alfred Duraiappah ([1][2]), 2007 Sri Lankan bus bombs ([3][4]), and C.V. Gunaratne ([5][6]), I would like to remind you to please remain mindful of the 1RR restriction that applies to all articles within the scope of WikiProject Sri Lanka Reconciliation. Although revert restrictions are generally waived across Wikipedia if reverting is uncontroversial, restores a consensus version, or improves an article (see e.g. Wikipedia:Three-revert rule#Exceptions), they do apply in the case of good-faith content disputes. For details, please see Sebastian's clarification of what 1RR means to us. Thanks, Black Falcon (Talk) 19:27, 2 April 2008 (UTC)


[edit] Disputed fair use rationale for Image:Air Chief Marshal Harry Goonetileke.jpg}

Thank you for uploading Image:Air Chief Marshal Harry Goonetileke.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this image under "fair use" may not meet the criteria required by Wikipedia:Non-free content. This can be corrected by going to the image description page and add or clarify the reason why the image qualifies for fair use. In particular, for each page the image is used on, the image must have an explanation linking to that page which explains why it needs to be used on that page. Can you please check:

  • That there is a non-free use rationale on the image's escription page for each article the image is used in.
  • That every article it is used on is linked to from its description page.

Please be aware that a fair use rationale is not the same as an image copyright tag; descriptions for images used under the fair use policy require both a copyright tag and a fair use rationale.

If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it might be deleted by adminstrator within a few days in accordance with our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions, please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you. NOTE: once you correct this, please remove the tag from the image's page.
