License tagging for File:Prince of Wales College Moratuwa.jpg.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:Prince of Wales College Moratuwa.jpg.jpg. You don't seem to have indicated the license status of the image. Wikipedia uses a set of image copyright tags to indicate this information.

To add a tag to the image, select the appropriate tag from this list, click on this link, then click "Edit this page" and add the tag to the image's description. If there doesn't seem to be a suitable tag, the image is probably not appropriate for use on Wikipedia.

Speedy deletion nomination of File:De Soysa statue Colombo.jpg


A tag has been placed on File:De Soysa statue Colombo.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F9 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the image appears to be a blatant copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted images or text borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.  obi2canibe talk contr 20:28, 8 January 2015 (UTC)

Hello, I'm Obi2canibe. I noticed that you made a change to an article, List of Senators of Ceylon, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so! If you need guidance on referencing, please see the referencing for beginners tutorial, or if you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you.  obi2canibe talk contr 11:28, 31 August 2015 (UTC)

AS CAN BE SEEN THE REFERENCES WERE GIVEN AT 0922HRS 31 AUGUST 2015, 2 HOURS PRIOR TO WHAT YOU TRY TO DISPLAY HERE. (Rippleworth)


 * It was displayed here so that you understood the meaning of WP:V and WP:OSE. This edit summary suggests that you are ignorant of both.-- obi2canibe talk contr 12:44, 19 September 2015 (UTC)

HOWEVER, IT IS UNNECESSARY AFTER I HAD GIVEN THE REFERENCES. Suggests egoistic behaviour and could even amount to harassment. I have less experience and expertise about some of the tools of Wikipedia and if your intention is to help as an experienced full-time Wikipedia contributor I would greatly appreciate your assistance on an aspect that I find to be complicated. Regards! Rippleworth


 * You gave the references after I prompted you but you edit summary suggested that you did not want to give the references because other editors had made contributions without providing references. This is not acceptable (neither is using capitals in your comments).-- obi2canibe talk contr 14:12, 26 September 2015 (UTC)

Not so, you do not prompt {citation needed} like OTHER CONTRIBUTORS, you delete. My original edit was linked to the page of her husband where the references were, therefore I have the right to state that you delete without checking. It is also not acceptable you SPECULATING about my reasons and it is inaccurate. Again as I mentioned above, this type of behaviour is UNNECESSARY. (Rippleworth)

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Charles Henry de Soysa, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Pettah. 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.

ArbCom elections are now open!
Hi, You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

Ceylonese recipients of British titles
You have added several entries to Ceylonese recipients of British titles without providing sources. This is a violation of WP:V. I will give you a few days to provide WP:RS otherwise I will revert the additions.-- obi2canibe talk contr 12:09, 23 December 2015 (UTC)

Survey Invite
I'm working on a study of political motivations and how they effect editing. I'd like to ask you to take a survey. The survey should take 5 minutes. Your survey responses will be kept private. Our project is documented at https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Research:Wikipedia_%2B_Politics.

Survey Link: http://uchicago.co1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_80J3UDCpLnKyWTH?Q_DL=2oczE7SODTUnF5j_80J3UDCpLnKyWTH_MLRP_9sieqVcy2wQga0J&Q_CHL=gl

I am asking you to participate in this study because you are a frequent editor of pages on Wikipedia that are of political interest. We would like to learn about your experiences in dealing with editors of different political orientations.

Sincere thanks for your help! Porteclefs (talk) 15:27, 26 July 2017 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for May 6
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Lester James Peries, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Gamperaliya ([//dispenser.info.tm/~dispenser/cgi-bin/dablinks.py/Lester_James_Peries check to confirm] | [//dispenser.info.tm/~dispenser/cgi-bin/dab_solver.py/Lester_James_Peries?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.)
