Talk page edits
Please, calm down a bit on talk pages. The section you added to Sri Lanka talk:Sri Lanka is pretty aggressively written, with the bold font, disparaging remarks "This is like teaching 2 years olds" and other comments that push the limits a bit. Please don't post like that. It makes it very difficult to have reasonable discussions when you start with a hostile tone. You have a strong view about something but that post utterly rejects and demeans any other view. Ask yourself why would an editor with different have any desire to work with you at that point? Would you want to work with someone who disregards your view in such a manner? People will have different opinions.

Also, please read through the talk page organization guide. In particular, indenting your posts with colons : which helps keep things organized. Thanks! Ravensfire ( talk ) 16:33, 13 September 2011 (UTC)

 * I believe this article is within the parameters of the Wikipedia guidelines, if you have a problem with the content of the article, Please raise you concerns in the talk page. Regarding copyright I have done what you requested. If what I did was not acceptable, Please tell me what is then acceptable. Distributor108 (talk) 12:34, 19 September 2011 (UTC)
 * The copyright on this material belongs to the Sri Lankan Ministry of Defence. If you have, as I suspect, simply send a message to Permissions claiming that the Ministry of Defence has allowed you to use their work, this will not be accepted. You will need to provide evidence from the MOD themselves demonstrating that they will allow this, or alternatively, show that they released it under CC-BY-SA.
 * Let's deal with the POV issue if you manage to get past the copyright problems. Until then, it's largely irrelevant. Yunshui (talk) 12:42, 19 September 2011 (UTC)


 * Then what is acceptable? What evidence do you require from MoD to prove i own the copyright? Also why is it claiming "as a copyright infringement of http://reliefweb.int/node/438364 " This link clearly states MoD as the owners of the copyright! This copyright infringement claim is absurd.


 * I agree that releifweb.int was not the original source - that wasn't my insertion, and I've since found the correct original: and included it in the deletion rationale. Unless you wrote the report, you don't own the copyright. If the MOD give permission for their documents to be used on Wikipedia, we would need some sort of official e-mail from their Press Relations or Publications Officer, or someone in a similar role, saying that they released the copyright under CC-BY-SA and GFDL, thus enabling anyone to use their text. Yunshui (talk) 12:54, 19 September 2011 (UTC)


 * Okay to what addressee should the their official press relations officer send the email? And do you require any certain format for the email? Distributor108 (talk) 13:02, 19 September 2011 (UTC)
 * They should send the confirmation to permissions-enwikimedia.org. As far as I know, there's no set format; as long as the email comes from the appropriate person in their office (verifiable by the return address) and clearly states that they release this document under the licenses listed above (and, as the sender, are authorised to do so), there should be no problem. Yunshui (talk) 13:05, 19 September 2011 (UTC)


 * Not a problem, I do that soon. However in the meantime, can you remove the speedy deletion notice from the article. As I have provided a reasonable explanation, further there is no direct copyright claim from MoD, nor is their a claim in the original article. Distributor108 (talk) 13:09, 19 September 2011 (UTC)


 * User:Lectonar has already deleted the article. This is as it should be; it can be recreated once the copyright issue is settled. Yunshui (talk) 13:12, 19 September 2011 (UTC)


 * How will I know Wikipedia accepted the copyright notice? Will i get a return message from permissions-enwikimedia.org Distributor108 (talk) 13:21, 19 September 2011 (UTC)


 * Conventionally, you would place an tag on the article's talkpage. Since the talkpage has been deleted, this isn't an option (I suppose one could recreate it, but it would probably then be wiped under WP:G8). The sender of the e-mail to Permissions will get a response back, I suggest you request that they forward it to you to let you know whether the submission was accepted. Yunshui (talk) 13:29, 19 September 2011 (UTC)

As I told you I was in the process of the cleaning up the article to conform with WP guidelines, You need to allow me to clean it up before invoking WP:G8. WP:G8is usually invoked for articles that consistently fail to meet request for clean up or no going process for the clean up can be seen. Distributor108 (talk) 13:34, 19 September 2011 (UTC)
 * G8 is used for pages which rely on a nonexistent page - recreating the talk page for this article would come under that heading. It has nothing to do with article clean-up.
 * Wait for the ORTS report to come back clean, then recreate the article. Be prepared, however, to be challenged if it appears in the same form as before - whilst you may get around the copyright issue, that's but the first reason of many for deleting this article. If you're set on having it in Wikipedia, I suggest submitting it to WP:AfC first, to get much-needed feedback. Once the copyright clearance comes back, obviously. Yunshui (talk) 13:41, 19 September 2011 (UTC)

Copyright vio on Alleged war crimes during the Sri Lankan Civil War
Hey, I left some comments on the talk page about that. I *think* they're actually copying from us. I'm hoping you'll take a look and let me know what you think. When in doubt though, always throw up the flag on it. Copyright stuff is taken pretty seriously here. WP articles are, in fact, copyrighted, but in a way that allows others to copy our stuff with attribution. Annoying at times, but that's how the site is setup to work.

 * That would be good. Because any edit warring or any edit to a Sri Lanka related article from anyone on your IP will surely result in you being reblocked. That is if you get unblocked.--Adam in MO Talk 08:21, 5 January 2012 (UTC)
 * I will inform all the users of this network. Distributor108 (talk) 08:22, 5 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Just stop it already. We know there are no others. Just stop. It is insulting to me and everyone else and it doesn't do anything to help your case.--Adam in MO Talk 08:25, 5 January 2012 (UTC)

I have spent the last 5 hours from 9pm to 2:13am reading through all the Wikipedia policy, and it has inspired me to turn a new leaf to evaluate and adjust my editing style in accordance to WP protocols. I am hopeful Wikipedia will continue to maintain status quo of its fundamental principal WP:AGF.Distributor108 (talk) 15:20, 5 January 2012 (UTC)

Can you tell me why my block was extended? when the I clearly did not CONTINUE an edit war. Also I cannot find my case on the ANI for consideration of leniency. Distributor108 (talk) 10:10, 8 January 2012 (UTC)

Kony 2012
Do not add those huge tables to the article, again. No one knows what they're for and you are just filling them with the word "Example". They are also uncited.— Ryulong (<font color="Gold">竜龙 ) 00:15, 8 March 2012 (UTC)

It is not necessary to put a table onto the page to show who is and who is not supporting the movement. If you would like to suggest the table be utilized, please start a discussion on the talk page.— Ryulong (<font color="Gold">竜龙 ) 00:20, 8 March 2012 (UTC)

If you want to put those massive tables onto the page, start a discussion on the talk page. Two separate editors have removed your additions of these tables so that shows that they are not wanted. If you put them back you will be violating WP:3RR and you may be blocked.— Ryulong (<font color="Gold">竜龙 ) 00:23, 8 March 2012 (UTC)

This is your only warning remove the tables yourself or face a block.— Ryulong (<font color="Gold">竜龙 ) 00:24, 8 March 2012 (UTC)

India FAR
Hi Distributor - I have removed your featured article review nomination of India, as you did not follow the proper process. The first step in nominating an article for FAR is to discuss the problems on the article talk page - if, after a week or two, there is no response or there is consensus that the article needs to go to FAR, then it can be nominated. Specifically regarding your nomination, there were a few issues: First, the fact that it has been 10 months since a previous review is not a big deal, as articles sometimes go years without one. Second, you need to be more specific with what you believe the issues are - you cannot just say 1(c), you need to provide examples of places in the article that are not referenced with high quality reliable sources. Third, I couldn't tell if one of your major reasons for nominating was the dead links - if so, although they should be mentioned during a review of an article that has a bunch of issues, if they are the only problem with the article then the article is not ready for a FAR. If you wish to continue with the FAR process for this article, I would suggest posting an expanded version of your concerns on the article talk page. It looks like there is a fairly active group of editors working on the article, so I hope that they will respond to your comments and we can prevent the need for a review. Please let me know if you have any questions, Dana boomer (talk) 12:39, 8 April 2012 (UTC)

Hi. When you recently edited Sri Lanka Air Force, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Vision (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver).

Sri Lanka edit warring
Please note that I will block you for edit warring if you again revert on Sri Lanka. I've looked over the past discussions, and as far as I can tell you are the only one holding that the 2001 census can be used, and numerous other editors are opposed. The consensus is clear; the responsibility lies with you to show consensus has changed. Note, however, that this does not mean you can just bombard the talk page with a repeat of the arguments from last time--you will need to specifically advance new arguments or show some reason why the previous consensus is inappropriate even though it was only a half year ago.

Request for arbitration

Your RFA
