Spirit, you have been very busy with the Rajapaksa family article. Let me point out a few things to you: Wikipedia welcomes your edits, but only if they conform to Wikipedia policies and guidelines. Please take some time to familiarize yourself with them (read the links given in the above Welcome message) and then please feel free to continue editing Wikipedia. Perhaps you should visit WP:WikiProject Sri Lanka to see if there is a way you can help out that project. WikiDan61 ChatMe!ReadMe!! 16:49, 4 September 2012 (UTC)
 * 1) I have moved the prior contents of this page (your User talk page) to User:Lankanspirit/Sandbox.  Your talk page is not a place for you to develop article content.  Rather, it is intended to be a place where you and your fellow Wikipedians can interact to discuss issues related to Wikipedia.
 * 2) I have redirected your article titled Rajapaksa Family Sri Lanka to Rajapaksa family.  There is no need to have two articles on the same topic.
 * 3) I intend to nominate Rajapaksa family for deletion, as the article contains no salvageable content.  The genealogy is not appropriate for Wikipedia, and if we remove that, the only thing left in the article is an unreferenced paean to the Rajapaksa family, which violates Wikipedia's neutrality policy.

Please do not remove content or templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did to Rajapaksa family, without giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Your content removal does not appear constructive and has been reverted. Please make use of the sandbox if you'd like to experiment with test edits. Thank you.  obi2canibe talk contr 17:45, 4 September 2012 (UTC)
