Agreed. I only want to add a reference to an etymological discussion of the word curry. Now I know how to add it without the problems you are raising, as I see how it is done in other articles--Gal-bamuna (talk) 01:34, 18 June 2011 (UTC). Thanks User:Gal-Bamuna


 * Can you put the link on the article talk page, please. It is not working & we need to work out why. Then it can go in the article if it is suitable. Thanks. - Sitush (talk) 01:49, 18 June 2011 (UTC)

Can't waste too much time on this. We will get it working. the link that I found is Cury Leaves written in HTML, and then it works in HTML pages. --Gal-bamuna (talk) 02:31, 18 June 2011 (UTC)

- This to explain my edit of the entry Chandre Dharma-wardana where I have corrected material put in by a new editor Prabath58 who does not seem to have a talk page or editing history. Also, I have included citations and reference to improve the article. Prabath58 has included the statement "According Asian Human Rights Commission, Chandre Dharma-Wardene maintains false, defamatory and a potential death list of alleged former rebel Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam supporters. [1]" This is a very libelous statement which should not be included in a Wikipedia article, but should be taken up by Prabath58 via suitable judicial venues, if they are is any basis to it. Further more, the reference to Sri Lanka Guardian, a private electronic website (which is banned in Sri Lanka), as the source of the information is also very unsatsifactor when attempring to introduce this type of information against an individual. Wikipedia pages should not be used to launch personal attacks, and this has remained in the Wiki pages since January 2011, clearly showing that nither Porf. Dharma-wardana (the person under aattack), nor his associates have been monitoring this page, an dPrabath58 has taken advantage of that. I am a used of the ethnobotany and Toponymy websties developed by the Professor and his students, and discovered this entry by accident. The article cited by Prabath58 as justification for his edit states in the title that a Sri Sri Lankan "intellectual" has apologized, but when we read the reference, there is no such thing. It only says that the entry under Basil Fernando is "not up to our academic standards". So the information is false. Further more, we find by inquiring from the private NGO known as the "Asian Human Rights commission" in Hong Kong, that the website on Liberation Tigers of Eelam has been taken down! So the validity of the entry is compromised.

In view of all this, the article has been corrected to fit in with the current facts, and to avoid private feuds that should not be brought into the Wiki pages. Parabath58 has also removed the reference to the botany and toponymy websites that have proved invaluable to academic researches in Ethnobotony and Toponymy. I have put them back.Gal-bamuna (talk) 18:49, 6 August 2011 (UTC)
