Why do you keep deleting {{reflist}} on this articles? There is an inlined reference which is not appearing because you keep removing this. Please leave it in. I have reverted the change. If you continue to remove it, it will be considered as vandalism --Bduke (Discussion) 02:19, 5 January 2009 (UTC)Reply

To Bob the Wikipedian: My reference to stick insects citing the Nature commentary is correct indeed. Would you care to check properly? I'm a scientist and I do read Nature regularly. Galloping Ghost U of I

March 2009 edit

  Welcome to Wikipedia. We welcome and appreciate your contributions, including your edits to Gotabhaya Rajapaksa, but we cannot accept original research. Original research also encompasses novel, unpublished syntheses of previously published material. Please be prepared to cite a reliable source for all of your information. Thank you. snowolfD4 ( talk / @ ) 13:08, 10 March 2009 (UTC) Hey Snowolfd4: Merde! What is your beef about original research? When did Gothabhaya Rajapaksa graduate from University of Colombo, to get a 'post-graduate' diploma? To enter the University of Colombo, one has to have G.C.E.Advanced Level qualification, which Mr. Rajapaksa don't have. Check his curriculum vitae! The reliable source you ask is National State Assembly Debates (Hansard), appendix to vol.23 no.10, 4th October 1977, page 15. His date of birth is 1949 June 20. Galloping Ghost U of IReply

  Hello, I'm Obi2canibe. I noticed that you made an edit concerning content related to a living person on D. B. S. Jeyaraj, but that you didn’t support your changes with a citation to a reliable source. Wikipedia has a strict policy concerning how we write about living people, so please help us keep such articles accurate. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. obi2canibetalk contr 13:01, 20 December 2013 (UTC)Reply
