[edit] Ratnapura

//The modern name is derived from the Portuguese name Rapadura for jaggery, the palm candy produced traditionally in this region.// can you give tha source for this line at Ratnapura talk page.--Terrance 03:25, 22 November 2006 (UTC)

The modern name is supposed to be derived from Ratna+Pura, Ratna a Pali word for Gems and Pura=city, hence the fanciful derivation, 'city of gems'. Although it seems quite logical in modern Sinhalese there is no historical basis for such a derivation. The name originates in Portuguese times.--Wikramadithya 05:21, 22 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Edit summaries

When editing an article on Wikipedia there is a small field labeled "Edit summary" under the main edit-box. It looks like this:

Edit summary text box

The text written here will appear on the Recent changes page, in the page revision history, on the diff page, and in the watchlists of users who are watching that article. See m:Help:Edit summary for full information on this feature.

Filling in the edit summary field greatly helps your fellow contributors in understanding what you changed, so please always fill in the edit summary field, especially for big edits or when you are making subtle but important changes, like changing dates or numbers. Thank you. — Sebastian 08:01, 12 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Orphaned fair use image (Image:Dharmapala.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:Dharmapala.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable under fair use (see our fair use policy).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any fair use images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you.

An article that you created, Govi Supremacy Myth, has been listed for deletion. If you are interested in the deletion discussion, please participate by adding your comments at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Govi Supremacy Myth Thank you. SkierRMH 06:15, 19 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] List of Govi Supremacy books

I have added a "{{prod}}" template to the article List of Govi Supremacy books, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but I don't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and I've explained why in the deletion notice (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may contest the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page. Also, please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. snowolfD4( talk / @ ) 18:10, 20 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Sockpuppet claims

User:Iwazaki is claiming is a round about way that you and I (means User:RaveenS) are the same. He want say it directly but indirectly. See discussions [1]. You can do what ever with these claims. You can take him to ANI if you want. I don’t care what he says about me because it is so ridiculous but it is upto you. RaveenS 18:28, 20 April 2007 (UTC)

Also try to use WP:CITE in your citation method so that people cant easily remove your references. Just my thoughts RaveenS 18:40, 20 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Image:Image:A cultivator.gif

Thanks for uploading Image:A cultivator.gif. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, then you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, then their copyright should also be acknowledged.

As well as adding the source, please add a proper copyright licensing tag if the file doesn't have one already. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{GFDL-self-no-disclaimers}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Fair use, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Wikipedia:Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 22:12, 13 May 2007 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

  • N.B. All images, regardless of copyright status require source information - i.e. where the digital image came from - this applies equally to images that are in the public domain because of their age. Madmedea 22:12, 13 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] User:Iwazaki's accusation

This above mentioned person who has had differences of opinion about your article has once again accused you of being me, see here This time I am going to take him to ANI with proper evidence because last time he was not directly accusing me as you. Just letting you know. Thanks Taprobanus 21:49, 18 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Encouragement

I wanted to encourage you to continue to edit the Karava article. It appears to be very biased and filled with non-sense. Sinhala freedom 01:40, 26 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Singhe Dynasty

A {{prod}} template has been added to the article Singhe Dynasty, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice explains why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may contest the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page. Also, please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. If you endorse deletion of the article, and you are the only person who has made substantial edits to the page, please tag it with {{db-author}}. snowolfD4 ( talk / @ ) 16:40, 9 October 2007 (UTC)
