Thank you for trying to help improve this article, IPs and Wagfriends. The information cannot be added whole like that, it is considered as violating copyright rules. I now have a copy of the same documents, and will add the relevant, encyclopedic parts to the article. Once this article survives, please consider writing the article about him at si:කිංස්ලි දසනායක and ta:தசநாயக்க கிங்ஸ்லி--Kintetsubuffalo (talk) 12:00, 22 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

User:Obi2canibe as long as you keep lying with the "failed verification", I will continue to undo your bogus tagging

User:Obi2canibe as long as you keep lying with the "failed verification", I will continue to undo your bogus tagging. What you claim "failed" is clearly in the reference. Now you are being a nuisance because you lost the AfD. It's time for you to Wikipedia:Drop the stick and back slowly away from the horse carcass. Happy to take this to WP:3O or WP:ANI if this continues.--Kintetsubuffalo (talk) 12:21, 15 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Kintetsubuffalo: Where are these references?

Dassanaike's date and place of birth are mentioned twice in the article, the lede and infobox. The infobox doesn't contain any references. The lede contains two references - Sunday Times and scout.org - neither of which mentions Dassanaike's date and place of birth and thus fails WP:V.

The claim in the lede that Dassanaike was "Chairman of the Extension Scout Committee for handicapped Scouts of the World Organization of the Scout Movement" is referenced by scout.org but the reference makes no mention of this.

The claim that Dassanaike is the only Sri Lankan to receive the awarded is unreferenced.

So one might ask who is lying here, you or me.--obi2canibe^{talk contr} 12:59, 15 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
