Welcome to Wikipedia. We appreciate your contributions, but in one of your recent edits to British Sri Lankans, it appears that you have added original research, which is against Wikipedia's policies. Original research refers to material—such as facts, allegations, ideas, and personal experiences—for which no reliable, published sources exist; it also encompasses combining published sources in a way to imply something that none of them explicitly say. Please be prepared to cite a reliable source for all of your contributions. You can have a look at the tutorial on citing sources. Thank you. Cordless Larry (talk) 18:19, 9 March 2022 (UTC)


 * Ive heard about a Sri Lankan who came to britain in the 1810s and all I know about the Ceylonese immigration to the Uk was about lascars and students. TheCeylon24 (talk) 18:53, 9 March 2022 (UTC)
 * I know a website for the first and I could find a referable source about the Ceylonese immigrants during the late 19th century. TheCeylon24 (talk) 19:05, 9 March 2022 (UTC)

Sri lankans in South Africa moved to draftspace
An article you recently created, Sri lankans in South Africa, is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of " " before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.
