 * I will not review this block again - as obviously I set it. But you're going to want to request IP Block Exemption. The instructions to request IPBE can be found at this page. The heading you'll want to follow is "Used for anonymous proxy editing". SQL Query me!  04:37, 28 May 2018 (UTC)
 * I am exactly requesting this on my account. I had it earlier, but it seems it has been removed. ~Love | Peace | Care without any differences.. 04:39, 28 May 2018 (UTC)
 * Just in case you didn't read the instructions page I linked, it reads:


 * Who may request : An editor who has genuine and exceptional need, and can be trusted not to abuse the right.
 * How to request : Email the functionaries team or contact a CheckUser directly, explaining why you need to edit via anonymous proxies. Administrators who are contacted through other means may need to consult a checkuser to confirm the problem.
 * I believe you qualify for 'need', the way forward would be to Email the functionaries team or contact a CheckUser directly. SQL Query me!  04:41, 28 May 2018 (UTC)
 * Understood. Thanks for the guidance. I have built a strong social media site for Sri Lankans and hoping to get people to add more content for Sri Lanka/related wiki and Chinese info. ~Love | Peace | Care without any differences.. 04:47, 28 May 2018 (UTC)

 * There should be articles written in Chinese and Sinhala. However, I'm using a little bit of my time to check proper sources before adding them to Wikipedia ~Love | Peace | Care without any differences.. 04:15, 25 February 2019 (UTC)

Good Shed Bus Station, Kandy moved to draftspace
An article you recently created, Good Shed Bus Station, Kandy, does not have enough sources and citations as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of " " before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page. Cheers Mgbo120  20:28, 6 March 2019 (UTC)

Good Shed Bus Station, Kandy
The key issue is the need for ‘significant coverage’ in multiple independent secondary sources not a series of mentions in passing. I am happy to see if I can find any supporting information that will assist in establishing the bus station’s notability. Dan arndt (talk) 11:17, 7 March 2019 (UTC)
 * This is the second largest bus stand in Sri Lanka which is currently undergoing massive changes. What sort of supporting information other than all those sources you're looking for? NirvanaTodayt@lk 11:19, 7 March 2019 (UTC)
 * Just because a source includes the term, ‘Goods Shed Bus Station’, doesn’t mean this is significant coverage. Details about the structure itself, when it was built, who built it, where it is, what bus lines it services, any notable events that occurred there etc, would go a long way to determining its notability. Dan arndt (talk) 11:23, 7 March 2019 (UTC)
 * Now I understand. Thanks for taking time NirvanaTodayt@lk 11:42, 7 March 2019 (UTC)
 * Ok, now we need to sort the chaff from the wheat. Need to build known facts into the article with supporting references and get rid of all the extraneous references you’ve added that are just mentions in passing. Dan arndt (talk) 02:26, 9 March 2019 (UTC)
