Hi. I'm afraid we have had to delete some of your articles. This is nothing personal against the people written about, or against you, but because of Wikipedia policy. We have to have rules for who gets an article here, and it has already been decided that a person who is killed in battle is not noteworthy just because of that. If this were not the case there would have to be literally millions of articles about such people.

You are welcome to add articles about soldiers who have shown extreme courage and been rewarded by (for example) very rare medals of honour, or who have held very senior posts. It is advisable to make these things clear in the article. DJ Clayworth 17:41, 29 August 2006 (UTC)

Please be aware that we cannot accept contributions that have been copied from elsewhere on the web. Doing so is illegal. Please rewrite any articles in your own words. DJ Clayworth 17:48, 29 August 2006 (UTC)

Well Done

Well Done Dearest Friend, Do keep up the excellent work on raising a voice against the LTTE true maniacs!!! Kaushini

Gamini Kularatne

You appear to have a disagreement with User:Wikipediatrix over Gamini Kularatne. You might have written the article originally, but by posting it here, you release it under the GFDL which allows anyone to edit it. Also, Wikipedia entries are supposed to be neutral and verifiable. Articles need to be written in a formal tone without words that express opinion. "amazing storylines", "to everyone's shock", "which wouldn't be surprising", etc. are all matters of opinion, not facts. Because articles need to be verifiable, you are supposed to provide reliable sources. Please check some of these links to get an idea how things are done around here, so you can continue editing without running into problems with others. Happy editing! - Mgm|^(talk) 14:35, 2 September 2006 (UTC)

1990 Batticaloa massacre

Please stop. If you continue to vandalize pages, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia.

Your response

I dont hide 64.201.162.1 is User:RaveenS, if you look at IP edits, the IP has edited User Raveens home page anyway. To your Vanadalism of the said page. If I report you to Admin, if you continue this negative attitude towards editing, any admin can see that Your edit compare it to what was there before original version can see that you had eliminated all credible sources and rewrote an article without a source simply to push an POV. Beware such a trail of mis deeds will only lead to being blocked. Thanks

Unable to Read

Hey Lahiru K, you had written something on my talk page which I think is in Sinhalese. Unfortunately, right now I'm in the U.S. and I can't get Sinhalese fonts to work on this computer so I can't read what you've written. Sorry about that. So maybe write it in english or you can click the @ sign next to my signature and email me if you want. Again real sorry about this. I seriously need to get sinhalese fonts to work. --snowolfD4^{( talk / @ )} 16:11, 14 September 2006 (UTC)

Great Work

Hi Lahiru, I want to say that, what you have done through all the excellent writings of yours is simply superlative and exceptional!!!. The best thing is, they have had a considerably noticable impact on so many parties, haven't it? I've got to tell you this, that, your work is giving the impression that another S. Mahinda himi is on His way fighting for freedom. You are doing exactly the same thing He did, made different only by the "keyboard" instead of the "pen". Our Mother Land is proud of you!!!!! You have all our blessings. All the very Best!!! Kaushini 02:11 18 September 2006(UTC)

Saliya Upul Aladeniya

Yeah thanks, but you've done a whole lot more work on that and similar articles than I have. So really I have to tell you, Like Kaushini says, Great Work and keep it up.--snowolfD4^{( talk / @ )} 23:56, 29 September 2006 (UTC)

STF

In Relation to the Special Task Force article. Your recent attempts to improve the article have been somewhat detrimental. I see that you have questioned the sources stated, On the first instance, yes the site went inactive and thus the source invalid, however, you should of posted on the 'Talk Page' as I could of verified and rectified the situation

The second edit deleted the statement 'Tamil and Muslim ares' and had cited sources for both. Whilst the first source states 'LTTE controlled area' hence inherently Tamil area, but this can be mistaken and I will find a better impartial source time permitting, however my main concern with this second edit is that you deleted the 'muslim areas' aswell even though the source was perfectly clear and cited properly

Please be more careful in future edits of this page and use the talk page when apropriate to do so. Also thankyou for citing the reason for changing the article, otherwise I would of not been alerted to this issues.

Thankyou --Sharz 09:11, 11 October 2006 (UTC)

Sri Lankan Army

• First, I would like to thank you for your contributions of many article related to Sri Lanka. As you may aware as a fellow Wikipedian, Wikipedia insists on NPOV, to maintain the quality of the articles and it to be a neutral Encyclopaedia, providing her readers with neutral articles that could be relied on. Deleting well cited section, Human Rights Allegations of the article Sri Lankan Army, may violate NPOV. You are welcome to do so, provided that there are reasons to do so, but please leave a not in the respective article's discussion. Again, thanking you for your hard work and contributions, and looking forward to see more contributions to Wikipedia from you. Bye. --∞Sechzehn16^Talk∞ 15:22, 13 October 2006 (UTC)

Dear my friend, This what i want to say to you. Before Accusing me for blanking the Human Rights Allegations section you have to go through the history page of Sri Lankan Army article. See [1], someone came from 64.231.40.234 IP did that blanking job. Its a Canadian IP [2]. On that day I just did some corrections for two minor mistakes and one was done by 160.94.105.163. Believe me, I'm from Sri Lanka and I can even prove that if you want. My pal, I'm not blaming on you for this incidence. I know that you made a simple mistake. So I here by I'm asking from you to leave a message on talk page, about this incidence. Thank you, Lahiru_k 18:19, 13 October 2006 (UTC)

Sorry for telling you things that you did not do and giving you unnecessary worries. As I confirmed the history of the article it could be verifed. I accept my mistake. I will write the message for the right IP user who did the deletion. Then, have a nice weekend. --∞Sechzehn16^Talk∞ 23:32, 13 October 2006 (UTC)

• Please could you tell me the reason of removing massacre of muslim civilians in Pottuvil in the human rights allegation section. I thought it is because STF belongs to Sri Lanka Police, right? --∞Sechzehn16^Talk∞ 03:47, 13 November 2006 (UTC)

Sri Lanka Army Citations

I would like to say thanks having done a good job filling in quite a sizable number of references. I have also a filled in a few, where I a spotted stuff based on the references you spotted. There is still some left, but that should hopefully be taken care of soon. Elalan 15:48, 14 October 2006 (UTC)

You are most welcome! I have been spending countless sleepless hours to complete the reference sections. I think it is quite a good idea to fill up the references of articles related to Sri Lanka. If you come across such citation problems again, would you mind letting me know about it first before you do the fact tagging? Because I'm interested in looking for the proper references regarding any article. Thank you in advance. Lahiru_k 04:18, 16 October 2006 (UTC)

WikiProject NCSLC

Hi Lahiru_k, myself and others wanted to take the opportunity to invite you to join this project to help clean Sri Lanka ethnic conflict related articles on wikipedia. NCSLC: Neutral Coverage of the Sri Lankan Conflict. Pls let me know your inputs and how to take it forward from here. We eagerly looking fwd to having you there. Certainly this can also be point to help coordinate, fill in references and make these articles authoritative! Elalan 05:05, 16 October 2006 (UTC)

That's very thoughtful on your part but no thank you I'm afraid. I'm always ready to render my service regarding this as a Sri Lankan, but I would always prefer doing things in the way I have always used to. By the way, I would also like to mention that there is no such ETHNIC CONFLICT in Sri Lanka but sheer TERRORISM. According to the newest statistical data, the majority of the Colombo city comprises Muslims followed by Tamils and Sinhalese respectively. If there was such an ethnic conflict in Sri Lanka do you think this situation could be possible in a southern area like this which is also the Commercial Capital of the country? If you do not mind, please remind this to Tamil Selvam as well before the peace talks. Anyway, I appreciate your invitation to join the project and thanks once again. Lahiru_k 08:48, 16 October 2006 (UTC)

Just as an intresting note about your arguement, Conflict between religous and ethinic groups have been going on far before the British Occupation of Sri Lanka and the growing ethinic populations in the capital city is as of a result of the conflicts. Intresting enough too though, government proliferated ethinic riots began in Columbo, and perpetuated by Sihalese mobs, spread across the country. Seems that only the international eye in Colombu keeps conflict in check.—Preceding unsigned comment added by Sharz (talk • contribs)

Userboxes

So you dispute whether I'm a guy??? I show you... :-) Anyway thanks for removing that userbox. I didn't notice I'd put two of them.
And machang want to borrow your "This user supports the Sri Lankan troops" userbox. I could just copy and paste it, but I think it's be easier if we create a seperate template for it. That way anyone who wants to use it can easily just paste the template onto their userpage. What do you think? --snowolfD4^{( talk / @ )} 03:46, 18 October 2006 (UTC)

ha ha ha, ok pal go ahead and prove it!!!!!!!!!!!! ;-) ;-) (Just kidding ;-) Anyway, I have no doubt about that fact of yours, but yes I do have my doubts about the truth vandals).

Machang, I also got this user box from someone else and changed it to Sri Lankan troops. Sure let's make it a template. But I don't really know how to do it. Do u have any idea? Lahiru_k 06:53, 16 October 2006 (UTC)

Oh thanks bro, for the template. Thats really good work :-) Lahiru_k 04:55, 19 October 2006 (UTC)

Are you sure you want to stick to 'Support killing Tamils' in this userbox. Doesn't it make you as barbaric as your troops? Why don't you consider changing it to 'This user supports the Sri Lankan Army'. And yes, before you draw conclusions, I am from India and also a native Tamilian so you don't have to do any sleuth work!! I mean seriously, get a life. Are you sure that Wiki is the right place for you with such a attitude/userbox like that? This msg has been posted only in Good faith, let me assure you that!! Let me remind you what the userbox is in case you might have 'forgotten'. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Sudharsansn (talk • contribs)

User and talk pages

The user can do what he wants with his own user and take pages as long as it does not hurt anyone. It is his space. I have no problem with it although some admins frown on users who blank out warnings which they have given to the user. I have seen this issue raised in discussion but with no clear cut decision. What I do is to archive my talk pages when it gets too big but as I have said it is your space, enjoy it. --Jcw69 04:20, 26 October 2006 (UTC)

I think you want to get rid of | { { subst:

Hi, on your user page you have the construct |{{subst:Lahiru_k}} in a lot of the category boxes that you want to add yourself to. This has the effect of sorting your name after "{" instead of "L" in these categories. I suspect this has come about by changing |{{subst:PAGENAME}} to |{{subst:Lahiru_k}}, when you could have left it as it was or changed it to just |Lahiru_k. Does that make sense :-) --AGoon 02:27, 28 October 2006 (UTC)

PS; I am from Colombo too. Donnyt 02:46, 2 November 2006 (UTC)

Eventhough you are a considerably old wikipedian than me, you do not seem to know much about the guidlines of wikipedia. This situation is completely normal, since you haven't done much contributions to wikipedia. No user is 100% perfect in that matter and so I am advising you as a fellow wikipedian, not to ignore the warning and do take a lesson out of it for your furthur edits.You may read this guidline for furthur information Guidline - WP:CITE. I am not at all concerned about your personal opinions and the other fact I want you to know is, I DO NOT support the GoSL. My efforts are for eliminating the truth vandalism from wikipedia regarding Sri Lanka. It is obvious that I look like a GoSL supporter when I am on my way doing this. By the way, anyone could guess that you are not an experienced user in wikipedia simply by looking at your User Page (I'm talking about one of your user boxes ;-) ) I also suggest that you address your fellow wikipedians in a more formal manner since you have lots to learn from them especialy users like RaveenS.

Language skills

Thanks for your thorough investigations and pointing out your opinion about language skills. But I am sorry to say that your language skill is assesment about me is not correct and I am deleting the userbox you added in the talk page because it adds my talk page to a wrong category. Like I do from Romanized corpus, you can generate Tamil script in Unicode from its transliteration in [3]. Please also recomend me about Sinhala script generator, becaue I have a lot of Romanized corpus, which I could use for generating Sinhala scripts for use in English Wikipedia.

Special Task Force

Concerning your latest changes, it seems that the only two news sources that are reporting this development is the Sri Lankan Military site, which is obviously biased, and 'lankatruth' which is dubious but uncertain. However, news sources that have printed that the incident was commited completly by the Special Task Forces of Sri Lanka consist of the BBC, arabnews.com, The Europian Union Commision on Human Rights (Which has been brought up at the UN), wsws.com , Amensty International, USA Today, The Green Left and PeaceMagazine .

Those are a mere fraction of the news outlets, INGOs and Government agencies that accuse the Sri Lankan Government, and particularly the Special Task Foce that was occupying the area, of the murders.

Also, Amnesty International has cited the Sri Lankan Government as utilising 'Abnormal and Inconsistant interogation techniques' whilst the U.S State Department is cited as saying the Sri Lankan Government has 'coerced infomation through the use of non-orthodox techniques, including but not exclusive to torture'.

What do you say to the overwhelming evidence that supports the initial claim that the STF commited this attrocity, and also that two major organisations have cited the Sri Lankan Government as using torture and other means to acsertain favorable facts?—Preceding unsigned comment added by Sharz (talk • contribs)

Civility

It is important to keep a cool head, especially when responding to comments against you or your edits. Personal attacks and disruptive comments only escalate a situation; please keep calm and remember that action can be taken against other parties if necessary. Attacking another user back can only satisfy trolls or anger contributors and leads to general bad feeling. Please try to remain civil with your comments. Thanks! Saying somebody doesn't have common sense as you said here [4] I think is incivil . In addition you seem to have userbox, where you oppose certain wikipedia users. I would respectfully ask you to remove that userbox. Wikipedia is not to place to propagate opposition or for that matter hatred at anybody and I feel offended by you having it on your userpage. Your user page on wikipedia is not a place for your personal soapbox. Having seen your numerous positive contributions to wikipedia, I expected better from you and this really seems out of character.

Sockpuppet issue

Hello Lahiru, now that it has been confirmed that you are a malicious sockpupeteer, I would urge you to apologize to all concerned so that this issue does not escalate further and you get into a semi or permanent ban. My gut feeling says, you are a young student and a Sri Lankan Muslim interested primarily in Islamic issues and secondarily in LTTE relatd issues. Your work under the beatiful User name Mystic was great on Colombo and Islamic issues. I have a lot of respect for Muslim people as I belive in 100 years they will be the only ones still speaking Tamil in Sri Lanka as most all Tamils in Sri Lanka have shown an inclination give up their language and assimilate as Sinhalese (dont have problems with it either) but some also turn into Sinhala racists just to cover their non Sinhalese past (that I have a problem with). There are lot's of SL Muslim issues that need attention in Wikipedia. The Kudi system of eastern muslims, their peculiar religious habbits, the Kariapper name significance, Origin of Eastern Muslims, origin of Jaffna Muslims, the Muslim shrine with Nallur Murugan temple, Muslim shrine within Kataragama, the Tamil muslim dynamics of eastern Sri Lanka, the Mosque massacres, the involment of Muslim youth in Tamil militant groups, you name it there is a lot that an smart guy like you can and should contribute to Wikipedia about Sri Lankan muslims. Thanks RaveenS 20:43, 19 November 2006 (UTC)

Also create a user name under your real name and see how liberating that is because one can no longer be non neutral in any issue. Just my suggestionRaveenS 20:44, 19 November 2006 (UTC)

My suggestion would be to issue a apology immediately, and state that you will not attempt it in the future. Anyone can make mistakes and can receive forgiveness. Then you can continue your good editing work on the wikipedia. I do not advocate you posting under your genuine name on controversial issues especially if you live in Sri Lanka as you will be taking the chance that the LTTE or any other group with vested interests might assasinate you if you prove a sufficient thorn in there side.Kerr avon 00:02, 20 November 2006 (UTC)

Are you saying that I will be assassinated if I go back to Sri Lanka ? beacuse I post sometimes articles that detriment to the current government ? Well sometimes you haveto take chances with life. Posting under the real name forces you to be truthful to what you are doing. It goes to you also Doctor. ThanksRaveenS 13:13, 20 November 2006 (UTC)

I do also believe a full apology and confession is necessary particularly to user:Sudharsansn, once your block has expired. You well know why. A similar apology should be given to the real people who were misled by you. You will be surprised how forgiving people are to such mistakes. Forgiveness is an integral part of a healing process. Everyone makes mistakes and the length and breadth of this madness I think makes everyone concerned sincerely feel sad for you, even people you didn't agree with. Elalan 00:30, 20 November 2006 (UTC)

It should be noted Lahiru is not banned yet because no one has raised that issue at the appropriate admin section. But it will depend on Lahiru's actions. Because Mystic has been accused of similar issue before this would be considered as his/her second offence hence ban could be semi or permanent that means in the future no posts will come out of this IP or any IP that can be proved to be linked to Lahiru/Mystic. I persoanlly donot want to see that given theamount of work that needs to be done in Sri Lankan muslim issues. ThanksRaveenS 13:20, 20 November 2006 (UTC)

Lahiru.. Its very dishonest of you not to comment about RaveenS comments about contribution to the Colombo article, you know for sure that you are not the Mystìc whom RaveenS claims you are. I've been (Mystìc) blocked for your pathetic behavior in the Tfd nomination page. The only reason behind me nominating that template for deletion is it violates wikipedia NPOV rule.. Now because of your behavior I've been accused of vandalizing some user page which I clearly didn't do, vote stacking for the deletion which again I clearly didn't do. 222.165.157.129 10:21, 22 November 2006 (UTC)

Arsath, you have been blocked before for voting fraud. How do we know you haven't got multiple personalities. Lahiru_k has made some edits that look as if the user was a Sri Lankan Muslim. Elalan 14:22, 22 November 2006 (UTC)

Why is that this users account is not blocked and mine is blocked?, Looking at his page I think he is guilty of sockpuppeting, but my account was blocked unfairly because of this persons behaviour. (Mystìc) 222.165.180.160 16:28, 22 November 2006 (UTC)

On this point I agree, Mystic account (the sock puppeteer) should have a temporary block and one last warning (since this funny business has occurred before), while Lahiru_k, clearly a sock puppet account should be banned permanently. To Arsath's credit, he has made many constructive edits to wikipedia and that I think the community feels will be dearly lost if he is banned permanently. I also think all this is dependent on an apology and full confession from him to all parties affected by this mischievous conduct. Elalan 16:49, 22 November 2006 (UTC)

Evidence for sock puppetry from Lahiru_k (aka Mystic) (aka Arsath)

User user:Sri119 has done very few edits and some of latest edits appear very suspicious. I pointed this out on the TfD before they were all caught. For example setting of userbox [5] just before voting here. Furthermore the mannerism, particularly the use of "Happy editing!!!" [6] of this user shows strong similarity with User:Lahiru k [7]. In addition both of these editors seem interested in military related subjects related to Sri Lanka. This also speaks for user Mama007 [8] who has done some military edits and to user Psivapalan, which I detail below.

The sock puppet with more extensive edits have one subtle writing feature in common: use of "!!" or "!!!". Here is one from Mystic: [9]. In many of these cases, the users with light editing history changed or created their userbox before voting on the template. Also both Lahiru_k and Mystic indeed have some overlap in writing about Muslim affairs (particularly Sri Lankan muslim affairs). Here Lahiru_k who claims to be Sinhala Budhist with his userboxes did these edits [10],[11] when someone else blanked it. He appeared keenly sensitive to this tragic yet historic event (affected Jaffna muslims) and occurred in Sri Lanka and made these edits in a couple of pages and issued this warning [12]. With user Psivapalan [13], the edits have been on the Indian Army (a key feature linking user Lahiru's military edits) and few India related articles for good measure, but the userboxes were setup the same day and some appear to have been copied from user:Sudharsansn page - that target of vandalism attack by one of these sock puppets, [14] and then the voting was done. Its also important to note, the sock puppet all have completely different userboxes, one claims to be Tamil from Canada [15], another Muslim [16], another Indian Tamil Hindu [17], another Sinhala Budhist [18]. One even claims to live in England (Mama007) [19] and all from a Sri Lanka telecom IP address :)

Take another interesting thing in common between Lahiru_k and Mystic. Both have very similar signatures [20],[21] consisting of blue gradients with "T" for talk. Could all of this be mere coincidence ? It should also be noted that User:Mystic was caught before for vote stacking [22] and was the person who initiated the tfD which surprisingly got the attention of all these users, without any sort of communication, particularly brand new users that just 'started on wikipedia'. With all of this damning evidence and being caught, I would expect, Arsath (Mystic) to come clean and apologize than playing innocent. Then again he maybe having multiple personality disorder, nothing to be shamed about. Elalan 15:14, 22 November 2006 (UTC)

Warning?

You "issued" a warning on my user talk page for me deleting one of your posts, I provided a strong counter-arguement to it, justifying my removal of your post due to the slanderous nature of it, However you have made no attempts to remove this 'warning' nor justify your 'warning', I userstand that you are not completley active on Wikipedia at the moment, however I will move forward in deleting your so-called 'warning' without your permission as it is a blight upon my user talk page and a falsehood. --Sharz 06:57, 22 November 2006 (UTC)

Mystic versus Lahiru

Arsath, Lahiru is not yet blocked because he is the malicious puppeteer and potentiall will be banned for life if and when it happens. Arsath, who ever you are Mystic (by self admission) and Lahiru (you deny). I hope you will in the future be as reasonable as possible under these circumstances.

Sri Lankan Muslim need a champion like you in Wikipedia because the number articles are next to nothing. In one of my Sanboxes I have a list of articles that need input from a Sri Lankan muslim. If you are lahiru then ask for forgiveness, if not just let the Wiki process take care of your ban. ThanksRaveenS 16:59, 22 November 2006 (UTC)

Arsath, do you deny making this comment ? You can do a quick google search to get this [23].

"Two muslims or three muslims or four muslims, it doesn't matter, its wrong to kill innocent civilians, who have done nothing to the blood thirsty LTTE, I am an eye-witness to the attack on Pakistani ambassador which again killed several innocent civilians who were minding their own business. Mr kunapathy kandasamy would you be okay if 2 people are killed in your family of 20? This is utter nonesense an idiots talk."

Incidentally this comment was posted August 28th, 2006. User Lahiru_k portrays himself very strongly supporting the Sri Lankan government and the Sri Lankan military, anti-LTTE and some in the community have said anti-Tamil (almost an extreme caricature of the Sinhala nationalist). The second comment made by the same user Arsath on the online forum from above on August 28th includes "!!". User Lahiru_k became active in its contribution history August 27th, 2006 with edit on Sri Lankan Army General Denzil Kobbekaduwa [24], although it was created in March, 2006. The attack on the ambassador occurred on August 14th, 2006 [25].

I think any intelligent person having looked at the stack evidence including this last one can make a clear conclusion from this. Elalan 17:21, 22 November 2006 (UTC)

On this point I agree, Mystic account (the sock puppeteer) should have a temporary block and one last warning (since this funny business has occurred before), while Lahiru_k, clearly a sock puppet account should be banned permanently. To Arsath's credit, he has made many constructive edits to wikipedia and that I think the community feels will be dearly lost if he is banned permanently. I also think all this is dependent on an apology and full confession from him to all parties affected by this mischievous conduct. He has undergone some traumatic experience and its only human to forgive such conduct, if and when an apology is asked for. Elalan 16:49, 22 November 2006 (UTC)

Again from my point of view, I want accuse Arsath's comments as anti-Tamil but simply anti-LTTE. That's ok to have a POV in Wikipedia as long as we can write in a NPOV manner about it :-)). When we write about Sri Lanka, whether there is a reason to kill a civilian man/woman by anyone is imaterial. Just like Arsath said, civilian is a civilian killed as part of the war by GoSL or by LTTE. We should be equally concerned about it. If Lahiru was Arsath, it must have been difficult indeed to put I suport Israel banner on his user page. He can and should edit with all the freedom in Wikipedia with a Sri Lankan Muslim point of view as Wikipedia surely needs a Sri Lankan Muslim. It is easy for Sri Lankan's to assume that somehow they need these different identies to talk about controversial points of view beacuse Sri Lankan's get killed for their views. I would say learn if man enough apologize and move on RaveenS 22:33, 22 November 2006 (UTC)

No suprise to me really, In light of this evidence I believe that there are other users that should be looked at relating puppeteering, it seems that what I saw as a co-ordinated effort between users to sweep through Wikipedia changing articles related to the Sri Lanka was rather just one person. Good riddance to puppets and puppeteers. --Sharz 05:25, 24 November 2006 (UTC)

Sarath Fonseka

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. We appreciate your contributions to the Sarath Fonseka article, but for legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted.

Feel free to re-submit a new version of the article. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words.

If the external website belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must include on the external site the statement "I, (name), am the author of this article, (article name), and I irrevocably release its content under the terms of the GNU Free Documentation License, Version 1.2 and later, for use on Wikipedia and elsewhere."

You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question here. You can also leave a message on my talk page. -- Whpq 20:07, 2 December 2006 (UTC)

Hi Lahiru, thanks for the message you left on my talk page. I have just become aware that the websites you mentioned has a propagandist nature, but given that the info it's citing also relates to the LTTE's responsibillities within the truce, and is also a non-contentious issue, I hope this reference is acceptable. Also, I think within the scope of NPOV, what the different sides say deserves to be included (which would also include any of the other sides, welcome to add in it if you find any.) Hope this clarifies the matter.Rueben lys 13:50, 4 December 2006 (UTC)

Signature

Could you please cut down on the length of code in your signature? Or perhaps instead (when reporting to AIV) use a signature template so it doesn't clutter up the page?—Řÿūłóñģ (竜龍) 20:04, 4 December 2006 (UTC)

Yeah - sorry to pile on, but I was about to ask the same thing - it's about 4 or 5 lines, and can be quite distracting :). It seems you were having an issue with some reports you were making (maybe due to ARV) - I presume (and I don't use the program) that you clicked the button for report a user whilst on the edit page, hence the {{IPVandal}} automatically produced a report for 127.0.0.0, while your edit summary said differently. It's difficult for us to do a block in cases like that, without the info, as I'm sure you'll appreciate, so can I ask you to check the reports, and fix them is there's a problem? Thanks, and keep up the good work Martinp23 20:07, 4 December 2006 (UTC)

Hello

Hello, fellow Wikipedian. I write in regards to the proposal you may have made that The Open Design Community be deleted from Wikipedia. I agree with you but if you takes some time you will find that while TODC is a neew site, only being up for two weeks, it has had around 9,000 unique visitors and around 100,000 page views. TODC is a great site that is worthy of being on Wikipedia. It is actually the third generation in the OSWD line (marked by when the community reformed to create a new site).

Licenses that do not allow modification and redistribution of images are not compatible with the GFDL and are not considered "free" licenses in the context of Wikipedia use.

Anton Balasingham image

Why was the previous image spam ? because you have replaced with an image that seem to have copy right problem. The previous image can be cropped if you dont like what is written on it. RaveenS 20:43, 22 December 2006 (UTC)

I don't know and I don't want to know the content of that picture(Balaannanswiss 2.jpg), but I'm pretty sure that it can be categorized as SPAM because it was released by LTTE. I don't mind if you can crop that picture and upload it in to the article, or else you can change the license of Anton Balasingham1.jpg into Wikipedia:Image_description_page#Fair_use_rationale rationale. --♪♫ ĽąĦĩŘǔ ♫♪ ^{Walkie-talkie} 21:10, 22 December 2006 (UTC)

Dominic Jeeva

Hello!

I have done a extensive copyedit to the article on Dominic Jeeva (diff). However I have not been able to address the fundamental issue of whether or not he is still alive. Could you perhaps bring some clarity on that point?

Sincerely,--Oden 10:31, 23 December 2006 (UTC)

thanks

Vandal?

You've done this about a hundred times my vote-stacking friend, however it's Christmas time and I felt all jolly and wanting to call you out on it.

I challenge you to prove your statement that I vandalized that page, It's most blatantly obvious that you've branded every minor offence to your belief's on Wikipedia, but it's ironic though because you actually slap on a wiki policy that has nothing to do with the incident. For example, your blanking of the STF page repedidly then coming up with the tenacity to say "RV Blanking". Well, if your accurate in your words, I suggest you back them up, though I'm sure that you'll most likely ignore this message and let it fade away, as with any other call to justify yourself on your talk page. --Sharz 23:17, 23 December 2006 (UTC)

• You've done this about a hundred times my vote-stacking friend, however it's Christmas time and I felt all jolly and wanting to call you out on it.

I was accused for what I didn't do. I will prove that I was innocent for that in near future and I hope that you have enjoyed my Christmas hamper that I sent you on December 14.

• I challenge you to prove your statement that I vandalized that page,

Here it is. [39]

Come up with evidence come up with evidence than crying on my talk page.

I Always try to keep my edits with summaries and give feedback to every considerable messages. Though this was cannot classified to that, but I had to. --♪♫ ĽąĦĩŘǔ ♫♪ ^{Walkie-talkie} 16:21, 24 December 2006 (UTC)

Christmas Hamper? I have no clue what that means but my spidey sense tells me something sinister. As for your so called proof, again, you've cited a page, however try citiing a WIKIPEDIA OFFICIAL POLICY and the line from the Wikipedia of which it violates. --Sharz 23:41, 24 December 2006 (UTC)

I have provided you a diff of the vandalism you did for your easiness and thats proof enough. But even that you can't understand, thats ridiculous. --♪♫ ĽąĦĩŘǔ ♫♪ ^{Walkie-talkie} 08:45, 26 December 2006 (UTC)

I've already seen that page, and it has absolutely no breaches of Wikipedia policy regarding vandalism, your response on 08:46 26 of December made little to no grammatical sense, please consider rephrasing it so it is understandable to me, I completely understand though I am a native English speaker, English is a second language to most. --Sharz 13:12, 26 December 2006 (UTC)

Help

What did you need help with again. I think it had something to do with your block.--§Sir James Paul<<--wikiholic§ 02:17, 24 December 2006 (UTC)

Thank you for offering your help my friend.

I was accused for what I didn't do File:Cry-tpvgames.gif. But I will take necessary actions against that in near future . The funniest thing in that was, I'm currently communicating with three of my confirmed sock puppets through e mails and some how I made an approach to get their help on my future actions. Until that take some experience, because I will need your help desperately on that. Oh not only that, the person who submit that case was accused for vote stacking using multipel accounts and blocked indefinitely. --♪♫ ĽąĦĩŘǔ ♫♪ ^{Walkie-talkie} 16:48, 24 December 2006 (UTC)

Do you mind telling me exactly what happened? --§Sir James Paul<<--wikiholic§ 16:55, 24 December 2006 (UTC)

No prob. First read this. I'm contributing to the Wikipedia from Sri Lanka and currently using Sri Lanka Telecom ADSL Broadband connection. Normally the process for checkuser is the person who submitting the case should provide evidence. User:Elalan had provide evidence against User:Snowolfd4, but not against me. I was caught up for this issue because Sri Lanka Telecom had assigned considerably small number of IPs to its ADSL IP pool and they issue those IPs dynamicaly. As I know other 3 of my confirmed sockpuppets that I told I was communicating through e mail, even they are using SLT ADSL and checkuser admin has assume that all wikipedia users who has SLT ADSL IPs as my sockpuppets. To get a wide understanding regarding this issue please read this ArbCom request or ask directly from me. --♪♫ ĽąĦĩŘǔ ♫♪ ^{Walkie-talkie} 17:46, 24 December 2006 (UTC)

Do you want me to try to get these sockpuppets unblocked? If so I think I can do it. I have helped get someone unblocked on meta wiki. --§Sir James Paul<<--wikiholic§ 17:23, 24 December 2006 (UTC)

Yeah if you can please look in to this. --♪♫ ĽąĦĩŘǔ ♫♪ ^{Walkie-talkie} 17:51, 24 December 2006 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:BTR 80 diag.gif

This file may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading Image:BTR 80 diag.gif. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. When you use a generic fair use tag such as {{fair use}} or {{fair use in|article name}}, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. 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 lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. DarkPhoenix 20:55, 27 December 2006 (UTC)

Welcome template

Machan I created a welcome template we could use to welcome Sri Lankan newcomers to Wikipedia. You can see it here Template:Welcome-lk.
Any suggestions to improve it? I thought maybe we could start it off somwthing like

Ayubowan, Hello and Welcome to Wikipedia

If you like it, can you create the Ayobowan text or jpg image, cos I cant make Sinhala fonts right now :( --snowolfD4^{( talk / @ )} 16:26, 30 December 2006 (UTC)
