Black July edit
Kudos for the great job in referencing the article, slowly it is becoming a true enclopedia article. Also see It is about 1958 riots, if you have any references, much appreciated RaveenS 17:32, 26 July 2006 (UTC)


 * Thanks. The full text of Vittachi's book on the 1958 riots can be found here:

1977 riots
Will be possible to write an article on the 1977 riots, if you have time ?. Thanks RaveenS 13:45, 2 August 2006 (UTC)


 * I'd like to, but haven't yet found a good source for it either online or off - do you know of any? Tyronen 14:21, 2 August 2006 (UTC)

No, but I havent looked either, let me try RaveenS 15:52, 2 August 2006 (UTC)

State terrorism in Sri Lanka
Let's discuss on to do list before adding, at this point too many in the list might send the message that it is indeed POV against SL, which the list cannot be. So I reverted it right now, no hard feelings, let's put it up in discussion, develop these incidents fully as individual articles and then decide if they are really state terrorism before adding to the article. If the article is deleted by Admi, I’ve decided to create a category of human rights violations or state terrorism in SL where these individual articles can be listed anyway. Thanks for your understanding RaveenS 22:18, 3 August 2006 (UTC)


 * See also please participate ibn the criteria to add items to the list in the to do lits. Thanks RaveenS

Hi Tyronen, I am just cross posting this here:

Ok I just looked through the history so now I understand what happened. RaveenS I think Tyronen's additions were legitimate and do fall under State terrorism, I think it would have been better not to revert but discuss and change them if needed, in fact it seems I have duplicated one of his additions as well, the Chemmani graves/Somaratne revelations.

Tyronen, though I can understand your frustration at how your changes were handled I don't think deleteing the article helps. What is the alternative then? If something better can come of it then fine, but right now this is the only article on terrorism/human rights violations carried out by the GoSL. If we are going to have a balanced and informative handling of the Sri Lankan conflict we need this article just as much as the Notable attacks by the LTTE one so that both sides of the story are told.

So all I can suggest is to have Tyronen's changes readded and we can discuss each one and tweak as necessary. Regards --Realstarslayer 04:35, 4 August 2006 (UTC

NGO’s and new article
Please see talk:Amnesty International as to why I firmly disagree with removing the information from the NGO's article. Thank you. -- Avi 00:45, 17 August 2006 (UTC)

Same with Human Rights Watch and its talk page. -- Avi 00:48, 17 August 2006 (UTC)

Just for completeness, I've added the discussion to Talk:Human rights groups and the Middle East as well -- Avi 00:53, 17 August 2006 (UTC)


 * I you go ahead with the changes you've suggested to AI and HRW. Tell me to get back to work! 21:52, 17 August 2006 (UTC)

Leah McLaren
Hello, I'm a little unclear on why you added a "citation needed" tag recently. Her piece on why she prefers Canadian men to Brits, while awful, does actually exist. I remember reading it at the time. - Mcasey666 00:05, 18 August 2006 (UTC)


 * It still needs a citation. If the article itself is not available online, we need to  state exactly what issue of the magazine it appeared in. Tyronen 00:08, 18 August 2006 (UTC)

People's Alliance
I made a change in our last edit on the 2004 SL elections. The way I understood it (in 2004) was that PA still existed (with a convenor, etc.), but was (and probably still is) dormant due to the formation of UPFA. --Soman 07:26, 29 August 2006 (UTC)

Sri Lankan civil war
The article that you have painstakingly written and developed from a neutral point of view is coming under malicious reverts by a newbie or one who has no knowledge of the subject matter. Especially he removed from the causes of the civil war, your mention about sharp differences about admission to universities. Now the guy is a propagandist or simply doesn’t know the facts. I reverted them right now and requested discussion before removing such known facts. Just for your informationRaveenS 14:33, 7 November 2006 (UTC)


 * Mediation about this article will resume in half an hour. See Mediation Cabal/Cases/2006-10-20 Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam. Sorry about the late notice. &mdash; Sebastian 21:31, 14 December 2006 (UTC)

History of Sri Lanka
Hey Tyronen,

could you look at the article and at what Bodhi dhana is doing to it? I'm quite speechless. Cheers, Krankman 10:36, 13 April 2007 (UTC)

Image:Wickremanayake.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Wickremanayake.jpg. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed image could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:


 * 1) Go to the image description page and edit it to add , without deleting the original Replaceable fair use template.
 * 2) On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace the fair use image by finding a freely licensed image of its subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or a similar) image under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use criteria. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on [ this link]. Note that any fair use images which are replaceable by free-licensed alternatives will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Abu badali (talk) 13:20, 7 May 2007 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free media (Image:Kotelawala.gif)
Thanks for uploading Image:Kotelawala.gif. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 13:33, 22 April 2008 (UTC)

Wickremasinghe.jpg
I have tagged Image:Wickremasinghe.jpg as replaceable fair use. If you wish to dispute this assertion, please add to the image description page and a comment explaining your reasoning to the the image talk page. Garion96 (talk) 21:46, 4 July 2008 (UTC)

Image copyright problem with Image:Dssenanayake.gif
Thank you for uploading Image:Dssenanayake.gif. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright status. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously. It may be deleted soon, unless we can determine the license and the source of the image. If you know this information, then you can add a copyright tag to the image description page.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thanks again for your cooperation. --Geniac (talk) 18:20, 30 July 2008 (UTC)

Genetic relationships edit war
Hey Tyronen, Can you please get involved on the "Genetic relationships" discussion of the sinhalese article. It's turned into a edit war and it would be good to get the consensus on what people think the entry should be.

Many thanks, Wikinpg (talk) 19:27, 13 July 2009 (UTC)
