Welcome!

Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. The following links will help you begin editing on Wikipedia:

• The five pillars of Wikipedia
• How to edit a page
• Editing tutorial
• Picture tutorial
• How to write a great article
• Naming conventions
• Manual of Style

Please bear these points in mind while editing Wikipedia

• Respect copyrights – do not copy and paste text or images directly from other websites.
• Maintain a neutral point of view – this is one of Wikipedia's core policies.
• Take particular care while adding biographical material about a living person to any Wikipedia page and follow Wikipedia's Biography of Living Persons policy. Particularly, controversial and negative statements should be referenced with multiple reliable sources.
• No edit warring or sock puppetry.
• If you are testing, please use the Sandbox to do so.
• Do not add troublesome content to any article, such as: copyrighted text, libel, advertising or promotional messages, and text that is not related to an article's subject. Deliberately adding such content or otherwise editing articles maliciously is considered vandalism; doing so will result in your account or IP being blocked from editing.
• Do not use talk pages as discussion or forum pages as Wikipedia is not a forum.

The Wikipedia tutorial is a good place to start learning about Wikipedia. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my talk page. By the way, you can sign your name on Talk and discussion pages using four tildes, like this: ~~~~ (the software will replace them with your signature and the date). Again, welcome!

Panadure Ariyadhamma Thero

This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Panadure Ariyadhamma Thero, and it appears to include material copied directly from https://sinhalasangha.wordpress.com/ven-panadure-ariyadhamma-thero/.

It is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article. The article will be reviewed to determine if there are any copyright issues.

If substantial content is duplicated and it is not public domain or available under a compatible license, it will be deleted. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material. You may use such publications as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. See our copyright policy for further details. (If you own the copyright to the previously published content and wish to donate it, see Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials for the procedure.)

Disambiguation link notification for April 4

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that you've added some links pointing to disambiguation pages. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Tissa Gunawardena

Is Tissa Gunawardena alive or not? Usually we put possibly living people for people only over the age of 90, which of course this guy isn't yet, but the wording sounds like he has died. Wgolf (talk) 18:10, 8 May 2016 (UTC)

• Do not remove maintenance tags from articles without addressing the issues raised in the tags, otherwise your repeated removal is likely to be considered vandalism and may result in your account being blocked. Dan arndt (talk) 14:20, 10 May 2016 (UTC)

Nomination of Tissa Gunawardena for deletion

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Tissa Gunawardena is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Tissa Gunawardena until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article. Dan arndt (talk) 12:14, 11 May 2016 (UTC)

• The key issue is whether Tissa Gunawardena is actually notable. Wikipedia sets out a number of key guidelines, such as WP:SCHOLAR and WP:CREATIVE, that establish what is notable. If you feel that you need more time to work on the article then that probably means that rather than creating the article in the WP main space you should have created the article as a draft or in your sandbox. Before I nominated the article I undertook a thorough search of any verifiable sources on Tissa but couldn't find anything. Sources such as the school website blog and others are not necessarily reliable independent sources. If no independent sources exist then that would suggest that Tissa is not notable. Dan arndt (talk) 23:14, 11 May 2016 (UTC)

• Check WP:Source and WP:Reliable sources, as that provides a good guide as to the standards expected. Dan arndt (talk) 15:12, 12 May 2016 (UTC)

Wikimedia Community User Group Sri Lanka

Dear Lakdee, Thank you for your contributions to the Wikimedia Projects. As an editor from Sri Lanka, you are warmly invited to join the official Wikimedia Community User Group Sri Lanka and to subscribe to its mailing list, Wikimedia-LK. The user group currently includes volunteers from Wikipedia and other projects, from the English, Sinhala, and Tamil speaking communities. It is the Wikimedia-approved platform for editors from Sri Lanka to enable wider collaboration, for both online and offline projects. With your support, we hope to organize cross-project content improvement drives as part of online projects, as well as organize in-person edit-a-thons, training sessions, photowalks, and other such activities, in the near future. The ultimate goal(s) of these initiatives is to improve the overall coverage and quality of topics relating to Sri Lanka, as well as encourage new editors to join the Wikimedia community, while simultaneously empowering and retaining our existing team of editors. There are no mandatory obligations for members who choose join the community, other than the usual editing rules for online projects, and the friendly space policy for in-person projects. You may also (or instead) subscribe to the mailing list, where any member could initiate discussions with volunteers across projects, notify members of events and meetings, stay up to date with competitions, organize your own events, and so on. See you on board, and Happy Editing!
