| Greetings fellow disambiguator! Remember back in February when we made history by clearing the board for the first time ever, for the monthly disambiguation contest? Let's do it again in May! I personally will be aiming to lead the board next month, but for anyone who thinks they can put in a better effort, I will give a $10 Amazon gift card to any editor who scores more disambiguation points in May. Also, I will be setting up a one-day contest later in the month, and will try to set up more prizes and other ways to make this a fun and productive month.

Thank you for identifying issues with references on this page. I have removed the dead links and statements associated with them. please check out the remaining references and let me know whether they actually support what they claim to. I thought they did but would value an external opinion.Fattutor (talk) 20:52, 16 April 2014 (UTC)
- Fattutor, I placed the {{unreliable sources}} tag on the page because I saw references to sites like Google Plus and LinkedIn, which have a high chance of being unreliable sources. However, looking at WP:BLPSELFPUB, the sources are used in a correct fashion. I don't really have any other complaints about the sources used in the article, though I saw some statements in the article that need sources and tagged them with {{cn}}. APerson (talk!) 21:02, 16 April 2014 (UTC)
- Thank you for your constructive edits and suggestions. This was my first wikipage when I started out and I would value critical appraisals as most edits don't really tell what exactly the editor meant by it. I have removed the dead links and put in a missing citation. What can I do to improve the citations? It would be really helpful if you could advise what is lacking iand what is needed. There is a wealth of paper citations as the period referred to is in Sri Lanka and they have not put up all their newspapers on line and a lot of material is in non English language publications Fattutor (talk) 06:14, 17 April 2014 (UTC)
- I have revised the lead section. Any comments or suggestionsFattutor (talk) 06:22, 17 April 2014 (UTC)
- One really important content guideline that pertains to good sources is WP:RS, a guideline on identifying reliable sources. You may want to check that out, as well as WP:DEV, a page that describes the "stages in a life of an article". Briefly looking over the article, I see a small amount of issues that should be solved by a good copyedit (I'll try to do one as soon as I have some free time).
- About that lead section: It looks like you expanded it by copying and pasting the "Known for" section from the infobox into the lead. While this may provide a concise version of the major points in the article, which is the whole point of a lead, I would recommend a look at WP:MOSINTRO, which talks about what a lead should look like.
- About talk pages: You don't have to start a new section every time you respond; you can just add your comment at the bottom of the section where the discussion is taking place. However, you should indent your posts to improve their readability. I would suggest looking at WP:TPHELP for strongly suggested general talk page layout and WP:THREAD for specific help on indentation.
- Anyway, thank you very much for your contributions! APerson (talk!) 01:24, 18 April 2014 (UTC)
- many Thanks. I really appreciate the advice and guidance. your conduct epitomises what i expected from a good wikipedia editor to improving articles and supporting others instead of a purely regulatory function. I will have a look at the areas you recommended and try to write a stand alone abstract as they do in some academic papers which can stand alone Fattutor (talk) 08:18, 19 April 2014 (UTC)

May 2014 disambig contest: let's do it again!
Greetings fellow disambiguator! Remember back in February when we made history by clearing the board for the first time ever, for the monthly disambiguation contest? Let's do it again in May!
