Ratnapura
//The modern name is derived from the Portuguese name Rapadura for jaggery, the palm candy produced traditionally in this region.// can you give tha source for this line at Ratnapura talk page.--Terrance 03:25, 22 November 2006 (UTC)
 * The modern name is supposed to be derived from Ratna+Pura, Ratna a Pali word for Gems and Pura=city, hence the fanciful derivation, 'city of gems'. Although it seems quite logical in modern Sinhalese there is no historical basis for such a derivation. The name originates in Portuguese times.--Wikramadithya 05:21, 22 November 2006 (UTC)

Edit summaries
When editing an article on Wikipedia there is a small field labeled "Edit summary" under the main edit-box. It looks like this: The text written here will appear on the Recent changes page, in the page revision history, on the diff page, and in the watchlists of users who are watching that article. See m:Help:Edit summary for full information on this feature.

Filling in the edit summary field greatly helps your fellow contributors in understanding what you changed, so please always fill in the edit summary field, especially for big edits or when you are making subtle but important changes, like changing dates or numbers. Thank you. &mdash; Sebastian 08:01, 12 January 2007 (UTC)

Orphaned fair use image (Image:Dharmapala.jpg)
Thanks for uploading Image:Dharmapala.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image 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 images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable under fair use (see our fair use policy).

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 any fair use images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you.

Image:Image:A cultivator.gif
Thanks for uploading Image:A cultivator.gif. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, then you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, then their copyright should also be acknowledged.

As well as adding the source, please add a proper copyright licensing tag if the file doesn't have one already. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the GFDL-self-no-disclaimers tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Fair use, use a tag such as or one of the other tags listed at Image copyright tags. See Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following [ this link]. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 22:12, 13 May 2007 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.


 * N.B. All images, regardless of copyright status require source information - i.e. where the digital image came from - this applies equally to images that are in the public domain because of their age. Madmedea 22:12, 13 May 2007 (UTC)

User:Iwazaki's accusation
This above mentioned person who has had differences of opinion about your article has once again accused you of being me, see here This time I am going to take him to ANI with proper evidence because last time he was not directly accusing me as you. Just letting you know. Thanks Taprobanus 21:49, 18 May 2007 (UTC)

Image source problem with File:Christofel de Saram, and his son Johannes Hendrick.JPG
Thank you for uploading File:Christofel de Saram, and his son Johannes Hendrick.JPG.

This image is a derivative work, containing an "image within an image". Examples of such images would include a photograph of a sculpture, a scan of a magazine cover, or a screenshot of a computer game or movie. In each of these cases, the rights of the creator of the original image must be considered, as well as those of the creator of the derivative work.

While the description page states who made this derivative work, it currently doesn't specify who created the original work, so the overall copyright status is unclear. If you did not create the original work depicted in this image, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright.

If you have uploaded other derivative works, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have created [ in your upload log]. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described in section F4 of the criteria for speedy deletion.
