Presidents of Sri Lanka
Hi- I noticed you had made some sequential edits to the articles of five Sri Lankan presidents and changed the numbering/order of their time in office, claiming, for instance, that J.R. Jayawardena was the 1st president of the country. This is an error, since William Gopallawa was the first (although non-executive) president of Sri Lanka.

When making changes like this, it is important to read up on the topic and consult some sources before going and making so many edits in sequence like this. If you had gone and changed even more in these articles, you would just have created more work for other editors to clean up the articles in question. In this specific case, a look at List of Presidents of Sri Lanka would have told you why these presidents were numbered the way they were.

Dont get me wrong, we welcome any constructive and well-sourced edits. But please take care making spur-of-the-moment edits like this, as you may be penalized for vandalism.- ක - (talk) 17:08, 25 November 2017 (UTC)
