In September 2010, this page was quite rightly tagged for copyright investigation because of its resemblance to [1]. However, investigation shows the content was almost certainly copied from Wikipedia, rather than the other way around.

Consider the following passages as they first appeared in our article:

  • A Buddhist English school in the name of Sri Dharmaloka Vidyalaya was opened up in 1938 in a very small building put up on a muddy land adjoining Vidyalankara
  • At the beginning, this school possessed neither a playground or a sufficient space to set up even a volley ball court. The school building was surround\ed by a marshy land. In spite of this situation he and the courage to organize the sports meet in a grand scale. He used the road leading to Pirivena as the sports ground, and it was big success.

These sentences are altered in this edit by another contributor to read:

  • Sri Dharmaloka Vidyalaya was opened in 1938 in a small building on land adjoining Vidyalankara
  • At the beginning, this school possessed neither a playground or sufficient space to set up even a volley ball court. The school building was surrounded by marsh. He used the road leading to Pirivena as the sports ground

This is the way they appear in the external site.

It seems like the official site copied our description at some point after that edit and before this one. That's not to say that the original page wasn't copied or closely translated from somewhere, but it doesn't seem to have been that page. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 16:41, 22 September 2010 (UTC)Reply
