Disambiguation link notification for November 18

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Misplaced Pages appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited The Times of Ceylon, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Colonials. 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.

It happened in a mistake. I wanted to add his alma mater which I did and inadvertantly got removed his other content in the process. Then I didn't know how to restore that page. Thanks for restoring it.Frans Adiesha (talk) 13:28, 23 November 2014 (UTC)--Frans Adiesha (talk) 13:28, 23 November 2014 (UTC)

No problem.--obi2canibe 18:08, 23 November 2014 (UTC)

About a File

I think File:CPA Posters on Presidential Elections 2015 B2yun0dCYAAYu5Y.jpg large (15825684885).jpg doesn't mean anything about Sri Lankan presidential election, 2015. It is about a Nenasala program. I hope you could find another image on this topic, but this is not about it. -- Haritha (talk) 09:25, 26 November 2014 (UTC)

Done.--obi2canibe 21:33, 26 November 2014 (UTC)

Removal of Updates

Hi Obi2canibe,

I cannot help but notice that you have been removing updates that we have been making to the entries for No Fire Zone and also Callum Macrae.

I am confused as to why you are doing this as the information contained in the updates is factually correct and backed up with links that support the posted information.

I am not familiar with Misplaced Pages and so if I am doing something wrong, please advise me as to what needs to be done rather than simply removing the updates that take me time and effort to enter.

Alternatively as you clearly are more familiar with Misplaced Pages any assistance you can give adding the "references" referred to would be gratefully accepted.

Regards

@Videomarkw: - I see you have made substantial improvements to the referencing on No Fire Zone following advice provided by User:LindsayH - well done. Verifiability is one of Misplaced Pages's core content policies. You should be always provide reliable sources so that readers can verify that what is said is correct. If you have time why not try to do the same for the content you tried to add on Callum Macrae? Additions and improvements are always welcome, if they are properly referenced.--obi2canibe 11:52, 13 December 2014 (UTC)

Conduct section

By going through the edit history it appears that you are the editor who has been editing the section titled conduct in the 2015 presidential elections and also a similar sections titled election violence in the 2010 presidential elections. It appears that you are misrepresenting the cited source to a great degree and also providing sources that appear to be opinions of the author and not that of an independent body well recognized body. While I appreciate the rest of your contribution to that article, if you could help edit those article provide due weightEng.M.Bandara (talk) 09:39, 16 December 2014 (UTC)

About remove the pictures from South Eastern University of Sri Lanka article

I can not understand why you remove university pictures from above article. There was no any purpose to make show piece for my photos. This is an ENCYCLOPEDIA. Not your property. Also this is not a place to show your personal attitudes. Most of articles about Sri Lankan universities has relevant pictures. It seems you are following anti-something matter on this action. As a responcible person, your action on this matter can not understand. (Removing all of pictures about relevant to university). Your given reason for that was, '(remove excessive images - this is an encyclopaedia, not a show piece for your photos)'. You are thought i am only picture shower. My main works are in SINHALA wikipeadia. If you think i am a infant in wikipeadia, it is not true.

Depending on your personal feelings doing such a things can not accept. In future i hope to complain about your bad behavior on english wikipedia to a administrators. Thank you. -L Manju (talk) 07:11, 18 December 2014 (UTC)

Talk:Results of the 2010 United Kingdom general election by parliamentary constituency

Hi, thanks for responding at Talk:Results of the 2010 United Kingdom general election by parliamentary constituency, and for the offer of help with large tables. Two issues that didn't seem relevant there: I presume that article was at some stage copied to a new URL rather than moved according to the preferred method. Hence I don't know where the previous discussion on its talk page was. I would like to see previous talk relevant to it: can you point me in the right direction, please?

Secondly, what is 'ping', and why use it? — Preceding unsigned comment added by DrArsenal (talk • contribs) 20:45, 21 December 2014 (UTC)

I'm not sure I follow - Results of the 2010 United Kingdom general election by parliamentary constituency was created afresh, it wasn't copied from another article. Which article do you think it was copied from? Template:Ping is used to trigger a notification to a user you are replying to in a discussion. I use it to notify others that I have replied to their comment - saves them having to check if there's been a reply.--obi2canibe 21:15, 21 December 2014 (UTC)

Sorry, I thought I had seen an inconsistency in dates between the Buzzfeed article and the history: not sure what I was mis-reading to get that impression. DrArsenal (talk) 23:07, 21 December 2014 (UTC)

File:Black July 1983 Colombo.jpg

I don't see any genuine reason on the nomination for the deletion of above image. I have explained on the talk page and need your comment/review.61.245.173.189 (talk) 19:08, 22 December 2014 (UTC)

The CSD has been rightly declined.--obi2canibe 20:04, 22 December 2014 (UTC)

DYK for Uma Maheswaran

The fact was ... that Sri Lankan militant leader Uma Maheswaran was involved in the 1988 Maldives coup? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Uma Maheswaran. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, live views, daily totals), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

Northern Province, Sri Lanka

There's no such as thing as tamil country in Sri Lanka. Are you joking me? The entire country of Sri Lanka belongs to Tamil, Sinhala, Sri Lankan Muslims and Burgher. Please don't make unnecessary claims in order to prove your extremism point. If you won't stop doing this I will report to a wikipedia Admins. Frans Adiesha (talk) 21:26, 12 January 2015 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by (talk • contribs)

Regardless of the citations you provided it is still not officially known as tamil country in sri lanka. Please don't promote your extremism point while hurting the reconciliation effort. Anybody can claim the northern province as tamil country but still it is not officially. If northern province is tamil country which province is sinhalese? Before editing that article back find an official source to back your edit. Just because a person calls you donkey doesn't make you a donkey unless your parents and your birth certificate names you a donkey. I hope you get my point. 4keven4 (talk) 18:01, 19 January 2015 (UTC)(talk) 22:53, 18 January 2015 (UTC)

If you'd bothered to read the definition of country you would know it has meanings other than an independent sovereign state. It may mean a geographic region associated with a particular people/language/race (e.g Basque Country, Tamil country), occupation (e.g. cowboy country), species (e.g. cattle country) or even a region of a sovereign state (e.g. Black country, west country). In Sri Lanka there is a region called Up Country - have you heard of that? Is is an independent sovereign state? And here on Misplaced Pages we use reliable sources, not official sources.--obi2canibe 19:54, 19 January 2015 (UTC)

I'm laughing my head off seeing you comparing basque country to a so called tamil country. Yes, up country and hill country are official names and de facto names given to Central province and vicinity during the british era and earlier. Regardless like I said, anyone can call northern province a tamil country. Like a simple minded person like you, doesn't mean we should give it much value. If northern province is tamil country does the same logic apply to Tamil Nadu? Malayalam country is Kerala? Telugu country is Andhra Pradesh? Go and check those pages and see if it mentions as such. If north india is Aryan Country is South india the Dravidian country? Like I said keep your imaginations to yourself, and promote your Eelam propaganda somewhere else. Not here on this public encyclopedia. Please remember there's a reconciliation effort going on in the country. Even the smallest word could hurt it. 4keven4 (talk) 23:11, 19 January 2015 (UTC)

Misplaced Pages isn't here to promote the reconciliation effort or anything else - see WP:PROMOTION. You are blindly ignoring Misplaced Pages polices to promote your own POV.--obi2canibe 19:40, 24 January 2015 (UTC)

Neither wikipedia is here to promote your separatism and extremism point. Misplaced Pages is here to promote the truth. You are the one ignoring it's policies to promote your own bull. The truth is, there's no such thing as a tamil country in Sri Lanka. The truth is Northern Province has the highest tamil population in the country. 4keven4 (talk) 20:09, 24 January 2015 (UTC)

I have started a DRN as we're not going to agree.--obi2canibe 20:50, 24 January 2015 (UTC)

The DRN case was incorrectly closed for a period of time, but has been reopened. Regards, TransporterMan (TALK) 18:53, 25 January 2015 (UTC) (current DRN coordinator) This is an informational posting only and I am not watching this page or discussion
