ikman.lk is a classified advertisements website operating in Sri Lanka.

Available in English, Sinhala and Tamil languages, the ikman website hosts free user-generated classified advertisements, sorted by various categories. The name "ikman" comes from the Sinhala term "ඉක්මන්" meaning "fast", or "quick"[1].

Launched in June 2012, ikman.lk gained prominence due to it's large selection of second-hand items, becoming the 15th most visited website in Sri Lanka within 3 months of launch[2]. Being one of the first classified websites in the country to offer content in native Sinhala and Tamil languages, it received positive recognition from the Sri Lankan media [3][4][5][6].

An official launch event held in Colombo during October 2012[7] was followed by media coverage of the site, with ikman.lk being featured prominently on local TV/radio advertisements[8] in the country. Contents Geographic scope

ikman.lk operates solely within Sri Lanka, with a target audience of approximately 2 million internet users (as of January 2013)[9]. Usage Statistics

According to statistics released by ikman.lk, the best-selling categories (in terms of online transactions) on the site are vehicles, electronics and property[10].

Colombo serves as the primary trading hub for cars with an estimated trading value of 58 million Sri Lankan Rupees[10].

Put in some of the comments from the Ceylon Today article without the quotes from the owners. About the facts of the product and about the Swedish developers and local operation of the site. Do not put in the hype about "100% local" Do not simply copy or you will have a copyright violation. The media citations are there to back up the statements in the text, not for the assertion of media coverage)'' [3][4][5][6].

The article as written is full of promotional hype. I have given you a starting place with amended text. The citations are there to give reliability to statements. The question is whether the service is Notable. Saying that there is media interest does not deal with the criteria. It is the content of that. If someone sends out press releases that are parroted without comment by the media then the media reports are irrelevant. The Celon Today article seems to have made some independent comment. That is a reliable source. You can look at the others to see if they have something useful to say about this service. Do not quote verbatim from the articles, use them as a source and put it in your own words. Cut out the hype or promotional statements. I will be declining the article and you may resubmit.
