  Hello, I'm Cordless Larry. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, Sexual minorities in Sri Lanka, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so. If you need guidance on referencing, please see the referencing for beginners tutorial, or if you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you.

  Please stop removing maintenance templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did to Sexual minorities in Sri Lanka, without resolving the problem that the template refers to. This may be considered disruptive editing. Further edits of this type may result in your account being blocked from editing. Cordless Larry (talk) 09:21, 10 March 2019 (UTC)Reply

You have not stated what is wrong with the template and nor do you have any proof that what the template says is true. I am an expert in the matter anyway and I am able to verify myself. You do not seem to have knowledge on the subject and appear to be engaging in disruptive editing yourself. Muchsinomeeno (talk) 09:26, 10 March 2019 (UTC)Reply
@Muchsinomeeno: Anyone is free to edit Wikipedia articles in good faith, regardless of their skill level or knowledge of the subject. Subject-matter experts are welcome, but no editor is exempt from fundamental Wikipedia policies; in particular, the policies of no original research and verifiability along with guidelines such as reliable sources apply to expert editors just as well.
In addition, comments like "You do not seem to have knowledge on the subject" are a sign of undesirable ownership behaviour. Article content is arrived by consensus, and editors should make an effort to resolve content disputes calmly and rationally on the article talk page. If that fails to resolve the issues, then further dispute resolution measures are available. Pointless edit warring benefits no one - even if you know or believe that you are right - and can lead to sanctions. --Drm310 🍁 (talk) 18:33, 12 March 2019 (UTC)Reply
