IMDB CAN NOT BE USED AS REFERENCE

As per your edit at King Kong Appears in Edo Wikipedia has constantly noted that you can not use imdb as reference, as the majority of their trivia and other information is user submitted and not verified. Nothing prevents someone from posting hoax info about nearly anything film related on imdb and then using it for verification in a hoax article. Please refrain from this in the future.

               Thank you

Wikipedia:Requests for mediation/AMG Chemmani

Hello Snowolfd4,

Firstly, my apologies for the delay in progress on this case, as explained at Wikipedia:Requests for mediation/AMG Chemmani.

I am writing to you because, as a party to this case, your input is required before mediation can begin, to do with an offer by an experienced non-Committee member to mediate. Please see the Parties' agreement to Tariqabjotu's offer section and provide your input, so that this case can progress. Voting will remain open for seven days, and further elaboration is provided at that link.

For the Mediation Committee, Daniel 04:05, 10 June 2007 (UTC)

The mediation process, starting with opening statements, has begun on Wikipedia talk:Requests for mediation/AMG Chemmani. If you do not have the page watchlisted, I would recommend you add it to your watchlist when you get the chance. I probably won't be notifying each involved editor at every step, and the talk page should be quite active over the course of the mediation. Thanks again for waiting. -- tariqabjotu 22:51, 15 June 2007 (UTC)

User:Nibiruet

Greetings,

I notice that this user has created the redundant articles Hon. Justice A.W.H. Abeyesundere. Q.C. and Abeyesundere, Hon. Justice A.W.H.. They are well-written but in need of references, Wikification and a title change to remove the honorifics. (I'm no expert on Sri Lanka--I merely ran across the former page while on newpage patrol) Furthermore, he's removed cleanup tags placed by myself and other editors without addressing the concerns. It looks like we have an enthusiastic new editor here who is badly in need of a little guidance in standard operating procedure, and I hope that you and the rest of the people in the Sri Lanka project can assist him. Thank you for your time. --Finngall talk 18:07, 15 June 2007 (UTC)

BIA

Hello. If I remember correctly, the editor that adds the edit has the burden of proof of providing sources. The anonymous IP editor who inserted the edit in the first place could also have saved us a few minutes and the trouble if he just noted that in the edit summary. And due to the fact that plenty of anonymous IP editors constantly add false information about non-existent flights in numerous airport articles, my action to those are mostly reverting them, ESPECIALLY if there is no destination provided (such as this one). If an established editor on the other hand adds the edit, I do have resources where I confirm them myself.

Just curious, where do you draw the boundary between things that should be cited and things that shouldn't be? Cheers. /ɪlεktʃɹɪk bluː/ 04:58, 20 June 2007 (UTC)

Hi

Hi,

I have been a Wikipedia user and appreciate your contributions on the LTTE page. Further keep doing the good work in the name of your country. Dont let the LTTE computer gang members highjacck the page and give a wrong impression to the viewers that they are freedom fighters,thar they are a bunch of Criminals. Furthermore I have noticed that you have been active on the LTTE discussion page for a long time ,which should be commended. Sinhalese only have one country,that is our Hela Nation,now called Sri Lanka, and If you dont defend it ,who would defend her??? No one else is there for us ,We just got to get to gether and do it.

Good Luck, and I will be in touch with you. By the way, Are you in New York?.I live in New York too. May be we could talk more later on one-on-one basis.

Take care Roshan

SLAF ensign

Machan I think the current version is the correct one but I will look into it tonight. As I know in 2001 the air force ensign and the crest were changed. I mean from the crest the Dharmacakra was replaced by the Coat of arms of Sri Lanka and the green and orange stripes were removed from the flag hence it's already contained in the Roundel. --♪♫ ĽąĦĩŘǔ ♫♪ walkie-talkie 04:08, 26 June 2007 (UTC)

RfM for AMG Chemmani

I'm doing another update for those currently involved in the request for mediation. There are currently three compromises on the table at the moment; your comments on them would be appreciated. You are also welcome to add a compromise of your own and/or continue commenting on the starting points. -- tariqabjotu 05:17, 28 June 2007 (UTC)

I'm providing yet another update on the mediation. A few of the editors recently involved on the mediation page appear to have come to an agreement on one of the compromises. Thus, especially as the pace of the mediation has slowed, I have posted a possible resolution that echoes the sentiment of the quick agreement. Please post a statement of agreement or disagreement to the resolution as soon as you are able, preferably within the next five (or seven) days. If after a reasonable period of time there is a general consensus on the resolution, the request for mediation may be closed (even if a few of the parties have not posted their statements). -- tariqabjotu 17:06, 3 July 2007 (UTC)

Tourism in Sri Lanka

Hi Machan,

I created the article Tourism in Sri Lanka under Economy, better if you can add some fantastic photos relating to the topic.

Thanks,

Revert war in Internet censorship

I have been asked to mediate in the revert war in this article. Would you accept me as a mediator? — Sebastian 16:14, 3 July 2007 (UTC)

Yeah sure. Do you mean formally as in Med Cabal or unofficially on the talk page? --snowolfD4 ( talk / @ ) 16:29, 3 July 2007 (UTC)

Thank you! I don't feel we need to create an extra page, but I'm fine either way. Personally, I felt it often useful to communicate by e-mail because it is more intimate. — Sebastian 17:57, 3 July 2007 (UTC)

Great, I'll just wait for you to get started on it then. --snowolfD4 ( talk / @ ) 18:51, 3 July 2007 (UTC)

I sent you an e-mail after my message. Please feel free to reply by mail or here. — Sebastian 19:02, 3 July 2007 (UTC)

Agriculture

Please add a title "Agriculture in Sri Lanka" in Main Page as it may be most talked subject nowadays related to Sri Lanka economy --PrabathCA 09:51, 4 July 2007 (UTC)

I have add some details under this topic into Sri Lanka article, could you please have a look on that. Please correct it if it is any error or any suitable way.

Thanks,

Sri Lankan Civil War

Wikipedia:Requests for mediation/Sri Lankan Civil War

I was holding off further discussion in this mediation until the outcome of the deletion debate on Commons. Given that the image that was the subject of the dispute has now been deleted due to copyright issues, is there any reason to keep this mediation open? If none of the parties express a wish to continue with the process, I will close the mediation in a few days. WjBscribe 01:36, 9 July 2007 (UTC)

Re: TFGEC

Sorry for the late reply machan. What shall we do for that. Even I thought to put a CSD tag but I don't feel like doing it because that article was cool and colorful :-D Shall we userfy the article or let it be like that? :) --♪♫ ĽąĦĩŘǔ ♫♪ walkie-talkie 10:46, 14 July 2007 (UTC)

State terrorism

Snowolfd4, if you delete that section one more time, I'm going to turn it into a real section, and you won't like the results. There are many, many good sources available regarding State terrorism by Sri Lanka, and I will use them all. The current section is mild, but if you insist, I will take action. It's up to you. Jayjg (talk) 21:51, 19 July 2007 (UTC)

I've started adding to the section. Do you like what you see so far? Every time you blindly revert out the material, I'll add even more. The next steps are up to you. Jayjg (talk) 00:57, 20 July 2007 (UTC)

Jayjg is trolling you. 72.88.143.94 19:14, 20 July 2007 (UTC)

As you deleted the material again, I've added one more source. I will do that every time you delete the material. Soon it will be a huge, huge section. Is that what you really want? Jayjg (talk) 22:11, 20 July 2007 (UTC)

Jayig is quite correct on this matter. There is no shortage of valid sources on state terrorism by Sri Lanka. His additions are valid and I've restored them. I could add more sources to the section, myself, if that would convince you they are valid? Just let me know.Giovanni33 19:08, 22 July 2007 (UTC)

Eastern Theater of Eelam War IV

Hi Machan,

I created a new article Eastern Theater of Eelam War IV for the purpose of summarising the main article Eelam War IV.

What about the article Gotabaya Rajapaksa.

The level one warning you left this user should be bumped up. He removed a warning from an admin on the same edit added earlier. He should probably get a final warning. - Crockspot 21:11, 1 August 2007 (UTC)

Protecting "the wrong version"

You have insinuated that I have in the past or may in the future use my administrator privileges to protect an article in dispute to a version that is pro-Tamil. If you have evidence of this, please let me know—I believe I have been very careful not to protect Sri Lanka-related articles. Lexicon (talk) 23:24, 18 September 2007 (UTC)

Colombo City population

Snow, I too had conflicting figures of the Colombo city population, don't you think the article is about the Colombo metropolitan area and not Colombo District? Still I don't know the exact figures, can you point to the exact source other than Colombo Municipal Council, I couldn't locate the figures in the DOS website.
