Hi I am Gihan Jayaweera. I am a Sinhalese Buddhist in Sri Lanka. I currently live in Matale, Sri Lanka. I am an editor in Wikipedia since June 2013. But I used to prefer Wikipedia since 2007 upto now.
I am a B.Sc. graduate of Faculty of Natural Sciences in Open University of Sri Lanka, and currently studies M.Sc. at Postgraduate Institute of Science of University of Peradeniya from Zoology and Zoological taxonomy. I'm a research assistant on behavioral studies on tufted gray langur at Kandalama. I would like to do my future researches on felids, specially on Rusty-spotted cat and Moths. I like Wikipedia very much because I got knowledge from Wikipedian articles to my advanced level biology as well as for my university exams.
I like to play Cricket very much and also like to play keyboard and sing songs.
I am an old boy of St Thomas' College, Matale, where many great people were born. I was the president of the school's Media Unit in 2010, and am an announcer.
I read detective novels and fantasy novels, and also watch horror and fantasy films.
I hope to contribute on Wikipedia with my knowledge to help those who keen with those fileds of sciences. Hope you all will enjoy.. Thanks.....--Gihan Jayaweera (talk) 06:19, 21 June 2013 (UTC)Acknowledgement

Sri Lankan Wikipedian of the Year 2019 |
| You have delivered outstanding work related to Sri Lankan topics. Especially I have noticed your crucial contributions about Sri Lankan film actors, actresses which are less recognised in general. You have remarkably contributed to Wikipedia which is generally not achieved in general by the rest of the Sri Lankans. You deserve to be the Sri Lankan Wikipedia for the Year 2019.

The Sri Lankan Barnstar of National Merit | |
| Almost every time I see a new article on a Sri Lankan topic or new content on existing articles on Sri Lanka, it is because of your dedicated work. The amount of Sri Lankan information being documented is incredible. | ||

The Original Barnstar |
| Thank you for all the great work creating articles. Despite the lack of recognition and having your talk page being cluttered mainly with bot messages, you still edit tirelessly and meticulously. Creating so many articles is certainly no small feat and you deserve way more praise and recognition for your efforts than you currently do now. I can only say that your work behind the scenes, especially without the need for recognition, is the best attitude an editor can have. Great job.
