October 2016
Hello, I'm Obi2canibe. I noticed that you made a change to an article, Chilaw, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so! If you need guidance on referencing, please see the referencing for beginners tutorial, or if you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you.  obi2canibe talk contr 12:17, 2 October 2016 (UTC)

Please do not add or change content, as you did at Chilaw, without citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. ''You need to provide the exact location of your source. The home page of the census department won't do.''  obi2canibe talk contr 13:49, 9 October 2016 (UTC)

Hello. Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia.

 * Article editing history

Please use the edit summary to explain your reasoning for the edit, or a summary of what the edit changes. You can give yourself a reminder to add an edit summary by setting. Thanks!  obi2canibe talk contr 14:17, 29 October 2016 (UTC)

Copying within Wikipedia requires proper attribution
Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you copied or moved text from Sri Lankan presidential election, 2015 to Sri Lankan presidential election in Colombo, 2015 (your addition has since been removed). While you are welcome to re-use Wikipedia's content, here or elsewhere, Wikipedia's licensing does require that you provide attribution to the original contributor(s). When copying within Wikipedia, this is supplied at minimum in an edit summary at the page into which you've copied content. It is good practice, especially if copying is extensive, to also place a properly formatted copied template on the talk pages of the source and destination. If you have copied material between pages before, even if it was a long time ago, please provide attribution for that duplication. You can read more about the procedure and the reasons at Copying within Wikipedia. Thank you. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 17:55, 23 April 2017 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for April 26
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Polonnaruwa District, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Indian Tamil and Sinhalese. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ* Join us at the DPL WikiProject.
