Erebus hieroglyphica
editHi, I'm fixing typos found with Wikipedia:Typo_Team/moss and one of the articles on the list is Erebus hieroglyphica. You added "Male with vein 3 running to the functional apex of hind wing. The costal fold obsolete, and the grandular patch small." There is no such word as "grandular". I searched a number of entomology sites, trying to figure out what word you intended to use there, and came up empty. Could you fix replace "grandular" with the correct term? Thanks!

I will leave references bellow, I am new here so give it a try if you think it's worth it http://www.ft.lk/front-page/World-s-first-price-comparison-website-offering-cross-border-shipping-launches-in-Sri-Lanka/44-665599 https://www.entrepreneur.com/author/ravidu-mario-weerakoon — Preceding unsigned comment added by Luewia (talk • contribs) 17:03, 20 January 2019 (UTC)
AfroCine: Thank You!
editGreetings!
The Months of African Cinema Global Edit-a-thon was concluded on 30 November 2018, and we've had amazing results. Over 570 articles were created across 8 language-Wikipedias. 7 in-person gatherings of Wikipedians were organized across different parts of the world.
All our winners have been recognized and you can check the complete list here.
For a pilot event, all our expectations were surpassed and we have you to thank for that. Thank you so much for being part of this global event! Thank you for helping to fix African content gaps on Wikipedia! We hope to see more of your participation in future AfroCine events and activities. Please remember to signup on the main WikiProject participants page, in order to get updated with these activities.--Jamie Tubers (talk) 23:50, 20 January 2019 (UTC)
Hi, I'm RonBot, a script that checks new non-free file uploads. I have found that the subject image that you recently uploaded was more than 5% in excess of the Non-free content guideline size of 100,000 pixels. I have tagged the image for a standard reduction, which (for jpg/gif/png/svg files) normally happens within a day. Please check the reduced image, and make sure that the image is not excessively corrupted. Other files will be added to Category:Wikipedia non-free file size reduction requests for manual processing. There is a full seven-day period before the original oversized image will be hidden; during that time you might want to consider editing the original image yourself (perhaps an initial crop to allow a smaller reduction or none at all). A formula for the calculation of the desired size can be found at WP:Image resolution, along with instructions on how to tag the image in the rare cases that it requires an oversized image (typically about 0.2% of non-free uploads are tagged as necessarily oversized). Please contact the bot owner if you have any questions, or you can ask them at Wikipedia talk:Non-free content. See User:RonBot for info on how to not get these messages.

New taxa
editThe usual interpretation of WP:RS, especially WP:PSTS, is that we should not be adding new taxa to lists based solely on one journal article. WP:NOTEVERYTHING and WP:NOTNEWS are of some relevance too; we don't have to be absolutely up-to-date and we don't have to record everything in the scientific literature.

Speedy deletion nomination of File:Katha Karana Heena poster.jpg
editA tag has been placed on File:Katha Karana Heena poster.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the image is an unused duplicate or lower-quality copy of another file on Wikipedia having the same file format, and all inward links have been updated.
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Whpq (talk) 12:35, 16 April 2019 (UTC)

Links to Sinhala language
editHi Gihan! I see you are a very prolific Wikipedian! I just wanted to let you know that [[Sinhalese language]]
(Sinhalese language) is now a redirect to [[Sinhala language]]
(Sinhala language) (and is unlikely to change), so it's better to use the final target like this: [[Sinhala language|Sinhala]]
(Sinhala) than to redirect in links. Cheers! Danielklein (talk) 05:53, 30 August 2019 (UTC)
- Are you using a template to create these pages? I see you are still creating them with "Sinhalese" instead of "Sinhala". Can you update your template and go back and edit the links to go to Sinhala language now? --Danielklein (talk) 22:40, 9 January 2020 (UTC)

editSri Lankan Wikipedian of the Year | |
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.
