 * "Although the British did not officially espouse any policy regarding religious conversions, they encouraged missionary activities in the Maritime Provinces except in the interior erstwhile Kandyan kingdom, where they had agreed to maintain the local Buddhist religion as part of the 1815 takeover of the kingdom" Too long. split
 * "Even when this restriction was removed, the initial divisions between North Ceylon and South Ceylon missions were maintained." which restriction??
 * "Samuel Newell lost his only child and wife in Mauritius." lost to death????
 * "His most important service was the establishment of a large hospital, of which he was physician in chief." Name of hospital needed.
 * "The primary responsibility of the missionaries was to convert as many people as possible." tis sentence needs to be in the lead.
 * Ref 5 is link to "Miron, Winslow (1862). A comprehensive Tamil and English dictionary of high and low Tamil. Madras: P.R. Hunt." Why is it needed?? REf needed for it being the first.
 * I found this: described the "American Mission" which says it formed in 1816 by 3 persons, who are not named in the article.
 * Thank you very much, will be updating as we go along Taprobanus (talk) 15:48, 21 January 2008 (UTC)
