DRN Ethnic Conflict in Sri Lanka
Hey, Sled, just a note of background about the orphan tag in case you haven't spotted it. There is a concurrent and ongoing dispute at the Sri Lanka article about whether or not a link to this article should be included between some or all of the same editors involved in this dispute regarding whether a certain text in that article should link to the article in question here or, in the alternative, to Sri Lankan Civil War with Himesh84 arguing for a link to this article and with Obi2canibe and at least one other editor, Ravensfire, arguing for Sri Lankan Civil War. This diff illustrates that dispute, and you may want to look at that page's revision history as well. I suspect that the dispute over the orphan tag here will not be settled until that conflict is settled, since that's the only other article that links to the ethnic conflict article. I rather strongly suspect, but have no actual evidence to support, that the Civil War article gores one side's ox and the Ethnic Conflict gores the other and the tag war in the Ethnic Conflict article is more because Himesh sees the tags as a badge of shame (whether or not they're deserved) than anything to do with whether or not they're deserved.
