Priyantha De Silva

Hello! Priyantha De Silva is not the appropriate place to post information about yourself, because it is in the part of Wikipedia where encyclopaedic articles are written. A "userpage" at User:Rkpdesilva, however, is available for personal information about yourself. When adding personal information please remember that Wikipedia is not MySpace. Your userpage is for anything that is compatible with the Wikipedia project. It is a mistake to think of it as a homepage: Wikipedia is not a blog, webspace provider, or social networking site. Please see Wikipedia:Introduction and Wikipedia:User page for more information. Also, it is a very bad idea to give out your telephone numbers on a website, especially a widely-read one like Wikipedia. FreplySpang 21:16, 21 February 2007 (UTC)Reply

Once again: please do not write about yourself on the page Priyantha De Silva. That is the part of Wikipedia for writing about people who are well-known. Your user page is the place to write about yourself. FreplySpang 21:57, 21 February 2007 (UTC)Reply

Please refrain from creating inappropriate pages such as Priyantha De Silva. It is considered vandalism. If you would like to experiment, use the sandbox. MHDIV ɪŋglɪʃnɜː(r)d(Suggestion?|wanna chat?) 21:58, 21 February 2007 (UTC)Reply

The future Matara

edit

A tag has been placed on The future Matara, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a very short article providing little or no context to the reader. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.

Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself. If you plan to expand the article, you can request that administrators wait a while for you to add contextual material. To do this, affix the template {{hangon}} to the page and state your intention on the article's talk page. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this.

Hello Priyantha

edit

As a Sri Lanka centric wikipedian, I noticed some of the problems you seem to be having. It is all normal for a newbie. Dont let it discourage you. Read the policies look at other articles and then create articles in their model. If you need any help, you can always ask me. Taprobanus 22:19, 11 July 2007 (UTC)Reply

The Future Global Educational Center

edit

A tag has been placed on The Future Global Educational Center, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article seems to be blatant advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an encyclopedia article. Please read the general criteria for speedy deletion, particularly item 11, as well as the guidelines on spam.

If you can indicate why the subject of this article is not blatant advertising, you may contest the tagging. To do this, please add {{hangon}} on the top of the page and leave a note on the article's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would help make it encyclopedic, as well as adding any citations from reliable sources to ensure that the article will be verifiable. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Whpq 16:28, 24 July 2007 (UTC)Reply

  Welcome to Wikipedia. We invite everyone to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia. However, the external links you added do not comply with our guidelines for external links. Wikipedia is not a mere directory of links; nor should it be used for advertising or promotion. Since Wikipedia uses nofollow tags, external links do not alter search engine rankings. If you feel the link should be added to the article, then please discuss it on the article's talk page before reinserting it. Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. -- Whpq 16:32, 24 July 2007 (UTC)Reply
