Image copyright problem with Image:Colombo View.jpg

Image Copyright problem

Thank you for uploading Image:Colombo View.jpg. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright status. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously. It may be deleted soon, unless we can determine the license and the source of the image. If you know this information, then you can add a copyright tag to the image description page.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thanks again for your cooperation. Van helsing (talk) 10:38, 13 May 2008 (UTC)

Anuradhapura Kingdom

The information you are entering ([1], [2]) in Anuradhapura Kingdom is wrong. Pandukabhaya's reign started in 437 BC, but he took Anuradhapura as his capital and established the kingdom only in 377 BC. This information is supported by multiple sources used in the article so please don't replace this with 437 BC again. ≈ Chamal ^talk ¤ 02:42, 31 August 2009 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Colin Lam

The article Colin Lam has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Not encyclopedic; possible hoax

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{dated prod}} will stop the Proposed Deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. The Speedy Deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and Articles for Deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. Mr. Vernon (talk) 01:36, 21 September 2009 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Buwaneka Arachchi

The article Buwaneka Arachchi has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

This is a copy of Maldives with no indication of the meaning of the new article title

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Speedy deletion nomination of Buwaneka Arachchi

Please refrain from introducing inappropriate pages, such as Buwaneka Arachchi, to Wikipedia. Doing so is not in accordance with our policies. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you. noq (talk) 10:14, 4 October 2009 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Emma Weerasinghe

Please do not make statements attacking people or groups of people. Wikipedia has a strict policy against personal attacks. Attack pages and images are not tolerated by Wikipedia and are speedily deleted. Users who continue to create or repost such pages and images in violation of our biographies of living persons policy will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. Thank you.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, contest the deletion by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Blocked

After the above warning, you repeated the same attacks in Emma Nipuna Weerasinghe. So...

You have been blocked indefinitely from editing for repeated violations of the policy on WP:Biographies of living persons. If you would like to be unblocked, you may appeal this block by adding the text {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}, but you should read the guide to appealing blocks first.
