Black July
Hi and welcome, I added the following comment to Black July page.


 * Hi Snowolfd4, I added the citation needed tag for the 2 weeks. Leave it for a few days to see if someone comes up with a reputable source. If not feel free to put the actual UTHR figure. About the rapes, if it is unverified after few days can delete that.

Also visit the page on "state terrorism"[]. Section on Sri Lanka has been hijacked by LTTE

Ruchiraw 16:37, 25 July 2006 (UTC)


 * Yeah I just checked the State Terrorism page. Someone's moved the section about Sri Lanka to a separate page with absolutely no sources given. Something should be done about it. Not sure I can get around to it right now though. --snowolfd4 21:19, 25 July 2006 (UTC)

I've tagged "State terrorism in Sri Lanka" for deletion. Please visit this page and leave your opinion Ruchiraw 23:56, 25 July 2006 (UTC)

Also have a look at LTTE when you have timeRuchiraw 04:41, 26 July 2006 (UTC)


 * Suggested the "State terrorism in Sri Lanka" page be deleted cos it gives practically no sources. I think that should be the main reason we give for deletion because the WP:AFD page says "The argument "non-neutral point of view" (violates WP:NPOV) is often used, but often such articles can be salvaged, so this is not a very strong reason for deletion."


 * Also saw what you did to the intro of the LTTE page. I think you did a great job balancing the info and the critisisms. Well Done, is I'd say so myself :-) --snowolfd4 09:05, 26 July 2006 (UTC)

Thanks, I felt it had to have NPOV. Please visit Terrorist_attacks_carried_out_by_LTTE which has been tagged for deletion and make some comments. Ruchiraw 23:17, 26 July 2006 (UTC)

Sri Lankan Perspective on Armed Conflict and Proselytizing
Hi Snowolfd4, I am working on an article Armed Conflict and Proselytizing. I was wondering if you have read about this subject and can add some information to the article?--Whitesurf 22:26, 3 September 2006 (UTC)

Black July challenges
Thanks for making the article better than it was when you began to tag it, not only tag but also try to contribute to the articles constructively. Looks like a us versus them fight is going on or lossely translated as Tamils versus Sinhalese or worse by proxy LTTE versus Sinhal racists. Instead of that I propose everyone works together to improve the content about Sri Lanka including its seedier side in WikipediaRaveenS 20:19, 26 July 2006 (UTC)

Need your help
Please vote to keep or move to wictionary the follwing list List_of_Sri_Lankan_Tamil_words_of_foreign_origin It is part of Sri Lanka content and next will be Sinhala lists to be deleted if this goes through. Thanks


 * Thanks for bringing that to my attention Kongan, but you really didn't have to make any veiled threats about it ;-)

Did not mean it that way, once you start removing content, it will keep going in that direction, we had just began adding content on Sri Lankan Tamil and Sinhala and these deltionist buggers (i really dislike people who belive in deletion in wikipedia) want to delete it. May be it should be renamed, moved over or something, everything is got its value. Even the State terrorism in Sri Lanka, I feel, it should be renamed and prunned down just like notable attacks by the LTTE because each entry can made better as you would have found out in Wikipedia. Thanks


 * Ya OK. And I didn't mean to criticize you or anything. What I meant was I would have voted to keep regardless of any other factors. And thanks again for bringing it to my attention. --snowolfD4 09:15, 30 July 2006 (UTC)

Blanking content
I notice you keep reverting content on the page Ethnic conflict in Sri Lanka despite the fact the content is referenced by sites such as the BBC. If you have issues with the content, why don't you discuss it on the article's talk page, rather than just blank it out, because it doesn't suit your point of view. Right now, your behaviour would constitute as being vandalism. Starsimon 20:02, 12 August 2006 (UTC)

Practice before you preach
Yes you are behaving like a vandal, and you might want to check facts yourself. That Tamilnet reference was added by another user, long ago, and not by myself - and well if you want to deny that incident of the murder of those 5 youths taking place, go ahead, however that doesn't explain you blanking the Pesalai incident or the subsequent incidents you seem, rather unsurprisingly, intent on blanking. Starsimon 20:14, 12 August 2006 (UTC)

Pesalai + the Temple claim
Read the Toronto star article and the BBC article referenced fully. They are both relevant to the statements on the article they are linked to. Starsimon 20:17, 12 August 2006 (UTC)

What are you talking about???
Try to make sense when you write a message... when was there a reference to a great white van on the article page, and that too where it was presented as a fact??? This is geting boring. The statement you keep blanking wasn't added by me, and wasn't referenced by me. That doesn't make what it said necessarily false, but usually, if one had a problem with it, one would try and find other sources to back up the claim, or make note of it on the Talk page of the article, and try and reach a decision, rather than just blank it out. Starsimon 20:30, 12 August 2006 (UTC)

Comment
Oh I'm as cool as a cucumber. I'm interested to know exactly what my "barbaric" comments were?? lol looks like you're taking things a bit too seriously. As for the white van comment... Well, I was referring to it actually not being mentioned on the Ethnic conflict in Sri Lanka page, not on the star page. But I see you're clearly upset it was portrayed as fact on the Toronto star page - perhaps that's something you can take up with them. And the problem with your edits was that you blanked out entire sections, not just the comment on the 5 Tamil youths' murders. The least you could have done is rephrase the Pesalai incident, and add references. Like I said before, try discussing statements that have been referenced that you don't like on the talk page, rather than just blanking them out. That includes the temple story. Anyway, this issue seems resolved. Starsimon 21:13, 12 August 2006 (UTC)

lol
Nothing like an ego bruised. Whatever indeed. Like I said before - practice before you preach. And learn to spell in your edit summaries next time - it's spelt RELIABLE. :) Starsimon 21:31, 12 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Fine by me. Starsimon 22:13, 12 August 2006 (UTC)

3RR
Please refrain from undoing other people's edits repeatedly. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia under the three-revert rule, which states that nobody may revert a single page more than three times in 24 hours. (Note: this also means editing the page to reinsert an old edit. If the effect of your actions is to revert back, it qualifies as a revert.) Thank you. Trincomanb 20:47, 15 August 2006 (UTC)

Why is this false ?
A notable incident was the burning of its public library by the Sri Lankan Army in 1981.

You removed it saying that it is a false statement from Jaffna why ?RaveenS

Note on Absence
Sorry I wasn't able to edit Wikipedia for about 2 weeks. I'll just say going to a college 5000 miles from home for the first time is a pretty tiring experience.

But well, I'm Back. --snowolfD4( talk / @ ) 20:16, 29 August 2006 (UTC)


 * This wikipedia can be an addiction (from my experience), if you are newly in college concentrate on it :-)))RaveenS

Should I say thanks for the advice? Or is it just a devious ploy to try and keep me from editing pages, eh Raveen ;-) ? --snowolfD4( talk / @ ) 20:30, 29 August 2006 (UTC)


 * Take it anyway you want but just like Usenet’s, this effort too is USELESS exercise (my opinion). I am slowly weaning myself away from this effort. RaveenS

Yeah, I kinda agree with you. But I'm NOT GIVING UP yet. :)

Legitimate warning?
You mean this is legitimate warning Lahirus personal attack I should had Lahiru banned for his malicious edit as well as malicious personal attack. Please tempt me. Thanks 64.201.162.1


 * This is Lahirus vanadalism versus what was there before

Well done, keep up your good work :-) Lahiru_k 14:51, 29 September 2006 (UTC)

Sri Lanka Monitoring Mission
Please explain this edit and your edit summary. I did not blank anything. I added citation tags and began cleaning up the article. Please remain civil. DRK 05:20, 30 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Nevermind... I'm not sure what happened. However, the request for civility stands. DRK 06:42, 30 September 2006 (UTC)

Civility
Well well well. Looks like I'm not the only one requesting you to keep civilised and refrain from behaving like a vandal. I thought you had "better things to do." Do not blank content from wikipedia - particularly categories and the like - or YOU will be blocked from wikipedia. And by the looks of things, many people are looking to do the same. And as for your sockpuppet and equally vandalistic co vandal Lahiru...Starsimon 10:59, 1 October 2006 (UTC) -Removed Vandalism from user page-RaveenS


 * I don't thats fair, but let me try to help. I've looked at the first source and found some specific criticism that I put into the article.  If Elalan still insists on just that version, then we'll see. -- Ricky81682 (talk) 04:38, 3 October 2006 (UTC)

Velupillai Prabhakaran page
Cite reasons to remove the Vandalism tag. All that has been asked for is a free and fair review, which only means more content getting added to support the neutral stance and not removal of existing content. Maintain your cool and wait for Admin intervention to sort out things. I hope you understand that it seriously is being vandalised by both parties. User:Sudharsansn [Wikipedia:Neutral point of view] Refer to this for more info


 * I am not a fanatic, but I am only trying to write a neutral version of things here and there. Do go through the VP page and review it. Oya definitely review karanna ona, aapasu mata oyagey review comments kiyanna. Sudharsansn 21:10, 9 October 2006 (UTC)


 * Oyata comments-ta bohoma isthuti. Mata Singhala tikkak-tikkak puluvan. However I read and write Sinhala very fast, all I need is spoken practise. Do read through the VP page when you find time. Isthuthi.Sudharsansn 00:18, 10 October 2006 (UTC)

What vandalism are you talking about?? Reverts should not be made without discussing in the talk page. I removed a completely unverifiable paragraph and I did what was apt as per WP. Furthermore if you would remember that parah was already trimmed by admin Ricky for reasons mentioned explicitly. So if you are going to go on reverting, I am sure you are breaching it!!

Special Task Force
It seems that you have bypassed the Talk page on the 'Special Task Force' article and gone straight to deleting infomation. I will not beat around the bushes, the infomation you have deleted is to inherently bias the article towards the pro-STF stance. This is inherently against the Wikipedia Article policy of None Point of View.

I invite you to co-operate in discussing different ways to make this article comprehensive and NPOV along with me, but first I have a queries about your recent changes.

1 - The deletion of infomation based on 'unsources infomation'. A series of sources were used, direct quotes were derived from these sites, I will admit that several of the sources I have used are long, but if you wish to dismiss them I suggest you read them thoroughly first or at least search for specific words, as you will see that these sources support comments on the page.

2 - I understand your distaste at the use of 'Tamilnet' as a source, I agree with this stance however I felt the infomation in the article was so basic and known to all that any source would of been enough. However this was an error of judgement, I have replaced the source with one more unbiased, and I thankyou for this input, however it would of been more constructive to simply type on the talk page, 'a unbiased source is nesscisary'.

3 - The discrediting of sourced infomation. I do not understand how infomation almost taken directly from the U.S State Department site, Amnesty International Site and the BBC among others can be deemed to be biased. Yet, you persist in saying that infomation supported by these sources are 'unsupported' and hence deletable. I again invite you to use the Talk Page to discuss this matter further.

I find that these actions are part of a process of changing related articles to favor of your point of view, something I find inherently wrong. This has been conducted by several users including yourself and if you persist in trying to take advantage of this article whilst I try to produce a neutral balance article, I will move towards having it protected. --Sharz 13:57, 12 October 2006 (UTC)

Userboxes
ha ha ha, ok pal go ahead and prove it!!!!!!!!!!!! ;-) ;-) (Just kidding ;-) Anyway, I have no doubt about that fact of yours, but yes I do have my doubts about the truth vandals) Machang, I also got this user box from someone else and changed it to Sri Lankan troops. Sure let's make it a template. But I don't really know how to do it. Do u have any idea? Lahiru_k 06:53, 16 October 2006 (UTC)


 * Oh thanks bro, for the template. Thats really good work :-) Lahiru_k 04:55, 19 October 2006 (UTC)
