Hello, I'm Adakiko. I noticed that you made an edit concerning content related to a living (or recently deceased) person   on Priyanka Fernando, but you didn't support your changes with a citation to a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now. 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. Thank you! Adakiko (talk) 08:53, 11 August 2021 (UTC)

Please do not add or significantly change content without citing verifiable and reliable sources. Before making any potentially controversial edits, it is recommended that you discuss them first on the article's talk page. Please review the guidelines at Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Rdp060707&#124;talk 09:08, 11 August 2021 (UTC)

Please do not add unsourced or original content. Doing so violates Wikipedia's verifiability policy. If you continue to do so, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. Rdp060707&#124;talk 09:29, 11 August 2021 (UTC)

Ok sorry. Im new to this. Cant we use wikis info when refering Shanth.yellow (talk) 09:40, 11 August 2021 (UTC)
 * As Wikipedia is written without proper editorial review, it is considered wp:self-published and is therefore not a wp:reliable source (RS). Also, the problem of circular referencing becomes an issue: Article A cites Article B which cites Aritcle C which cites Article A. See wp:CIRCULAR Adakiko (talk) 07:36, 12 August 2021 (UTC)

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you make disruptive edits to Wikipedia contrary to the Manual of Style, as you did at Priyanka Fernando. Rdp060707&#124;talk 09:07, 13 August 2021 (UTC)

I take the responsibility of editing, the fact and details which will be true details. Not false. Shanth.yellow (talk) 06:57, 14 August 2021 (UTC)

Priyanka Fernando
You have a bit of work to do on your edits. Any significant content needs a wp:relaible source (RS). As this is a wp:biography of living persons, wp:citing RS is even more important. Cheers Adakiko (talk) 07:36, 12 August 2021 (UTC) *"Greatness" appears to be a matter of one's opinion.
 * I would recommend using the wp:templates and.
 * You might peruse articles on other "great"* generals and copy their style. My favorite is George C. Marshall
 * I removed the "Major General" prefix from the opening section (lede). See wp:HONORIFIC and wp:CREDENTIAL for policy.
 * I added "Major General" to the info box and also added his honorific_suffix and native name. I presume "ප්‍රියංක ප්‍රනාන්දු" is correct? If not please fix!
 * I notice that Fernando is not listed anywhere on Sri Lanka Army. Is the article out of date?
 * If you have an English-language spell-checker, please use it! I couldn't survive without one even though I am (supposedly) a native-English speaker...
 * If you click on "Show preview", you will get back a report of template errors. Also, you can see if you made any formatting mistakes. Very useful!
 * What sort of English to use? I notice that the Sri Lanka Army article has template:Use British English Is that correct? Maybe add it to the top of Fernando's article?
 * If someone undoes your edit, and you don't understand why, please ask. Please be careful as repeatedly replacing the same content my result in the loss of edit privileges. You can also ask a question at the wp:Teahouse or at the wp:Help Desk.

BTW: If you want to ask someone a question, ping them. See Help:Notifications. Be careful, notifications can be tricky. You should see a message that the notification was successful. Adakiko (talk) 09:48, 12 August 2021 (UTC)
