Edit on Navjot Sidhu page
Hi Gihan! Could you explain this edit? What "inappropriate edits" are you talking about? And what are these "usual standards"? Thanks. Editor5454 (talk) 18:02, 3 August 2017 (UTC)

August 2017
Hello, I'm Yamaguchi先生. I noticed that you made an edit concerning content related to a living (or recently deceased) person   on Arjuna Ranatunga, but you didn't support your changes with a citation to a reliable source, so I removed it. Wikipedia has a very strict policy concerning how we write about living people, so please help us keep such articles accurate and clear. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. ''In addition to ensuring compliance with WP:BLP policy, please ensure that future edits maintain a neutral WP:TONE as expected of an encyclopedia. Regards, '' Yamaguchi先生 (talk) 18:25, 23 August 2017 (UTC)

Please do not add unreferenced or poorly referenced information, especially if controversial, to articles or any other page on Wikipedia about living (or recently deceased) persons, as you did to Arjuna Ranatunga. Thank you. Yamaguchi先生 (talk) 22:35, 30 August 2017 (UTC)

Referencing error
Hello Gihan. You had made a few edits on the page Virat Kohli on 31 August. There's a referencing error in one of the edits wherein you've not defined the reference for ref number 308 here. Please check the policy on when and how to invoke a Refname. Thanks. Vignyanatalk 17:43, 1 September 2017 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for October 3
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited André Nel, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Providence ([//toolserver.org/~dispenser/cgi-bin/dablinks.py/Andr%C3%A9_Nel check to confirm] | [//toolserver.org/~dispenser/cgi-bin/dab_solver.py/Andr%C3%A9_Nel?client=notify fix with Dab solver]). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ* Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

List of brackishwater and introduced fish of Sri Lanka
Gihan: Can you explain your thought process to me regarding this article? It looks like 2 unrelated topics (except for the fish part) combined in one list.......can it be moved to List of introduced fish to Sri Lanka and call it a partial list?.....Let me know if you have questions or need help in any way....Pvmoutside (talk) 23:43, 2 December 2017 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for December 7
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited International cricket in 2000–01, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page AMI Stadium ([//dispenser.info.tm/~dispenser/cgi-bin/dablinks.py/International_cricket_in_2000%E2%80%9301 check to confirm] | [//dispenser.info.tm/~dispenser/cgi-bin/dab_solver.py/International_cricket_in_2000%E2%80%9301?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.)

Please do not add or change content, as you did at Sri Lankan cricket team in India in 2017–18, without citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you.

Yakada Pihatu
Greetings. An internal error is appearing in the fourth reference of Yakada Pihatu. The error shows in preview mode. Because it's non-English, I can't fix it. Your help would be appreciated. Thanks.-- Georgia Army Vet  Contribs  Talk  19:43, 26 December 2017 (UTC)
