Proposed deletion of Dulani Anuradha


The article Dulani Anuradha has been proposed for deletion because it appears to have no references. Under Wikipedia policy, this biography of a living person will be deleted unless it has at least one reference to a reliable source that directly supports material in the article.

If you created the article, please don't be offended. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, see Referencing for beginners, or ask at the help desk. Once you have provided at least one reliable source, you may remove the prod blp tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced. If you cannot provide such a source within seven days, the article may be deleted, but you can when you are ready to add one. McGeddon (talk) 16:01, 22 October 2015 (UTC)

July 2018
Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you copied or moved text from Sri Lanka's Got Talent into Sri Lanka's Got Talent (series 1). While you are welcome to re-use Wikipedia's content, here or elsewhere, Wikipedia's licensing does require that you provide attribution to the original contributor(s). When copying within Wikipedia, this is supplied at minimum in an edit summary at the page into which you've copied content, disclosing the copying and linking to the copied page, e.g.,. It is good practice, especially if copying is extensive, to also place a properly formatted copied template on the talk pages of the source and destination. The attribution has been provided for this situation, but if you have copied material between pages before, even if it was a long time ago, please provide attribution for that duplication. You can read more about the procedure and the reasons at Copying within Wikipedia. Why would you split the article in the first place? Sam Sailor 06:30, 30 July 2018 (UTC)


 * Dear sir, I have moved the data that was on that specific site since the series 1 have begun and the judges have already notified about the season 2. Hence, since this is a continuing series, I have changed the series 1 (which is currently being updated each week) to a brand new page and then have made a connection to series 1 in the got talent franchise wikipedia page. Thank you for your concern, really helped to understand more of wiki! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dukula Jayasinghe (talk • contribs) 14:22, 30 July 2018 (UTC)
 * When you do not sign your message, the other editor does not get the notification. (I have now signed it for you.) Please read my first message here above and fix the issue. If you need help, I'll be happy to lend a hand. Sam Sailor 07:08, 10 August 2018 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for September 10
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Sri Lanka's Got Talent (series 1), you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Matara ([//dispenser.info.tm/~dispenser/cgi-bin/dablinks.py/Sri_Lanka%27s_Got_Talent_%28series_1%29 check to confirm] | [//dispenser.info.tm/~dispenser/cgi-bin/dab_solver.py/Sri_Lanka%27s_Got_Talent_%28series_1%29?client=notify fix with Dab solver]). Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ* Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, DPL bot (talk) 09:26, 10 September 2018 (UTC)

Italics
Please stop using italics on America's Got Talent (season 14) for singers and bands. Italics are not needed for them. Thank you. Magitroopa (talk) 23:55, 18 September 2019 (UTC)

Infobox images
Hello! Thank you for your constructive contributions. Two quick reminders:
 * 1) When adding an infobox to a page, you can use just the file name (i.e. File:xyz.jpg) as using the full image tag ( [[File:xyz.jpg]] ) creates a weird border in the image.
 * 2) I noticed at commons:File:Nicholas_f..jpg you marked this image as your own work, however it appears to be an official portrait. If you are uploading copyrighted material, things get a bit complex - that's why you see all those celebs with horrible photos. In future make sure that the photos are licensed correctly.

Thank you for your edits and feel free to ask on my talk page if you need any further help. Ed6767 (talk) 20:58, 29 May 2020 (UTC)

Welcoming suggestions
Welcome to Wikipedia. Here are suggested readings: WP:SECONDARY and WP:COI. The gist of these guidelines are: If you have questions, many editors can offer advice. Happy editing.--Smokefoot (talk) 02:12, 17 June 2020 (UTC)
 * Wikipedia prefers citations to reviews and books, not primary journal references (tens of thousands appear annually). Citing secondary sources is the encyclopedic style.
 * Do not cite yourself or your colleagues. It's called conflict of interest.  Many new editors cite themselves mainly.  That behavior is inappropriate.

Speedy deletion nomination of Category:The Voice Teens (Sri Lankan TV series)


A tag has been placed on Category:The Voice Teens (Sri Lankan TV series) requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section C1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the category has been empty for seven days or more and is not a disambiguation category, a category redirect, a featured topics category, under discussion at Categories for discussion, or a project category that by its nature may become empty on occasion.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.
