Sinhalese in the English Wiktionary, if you are interested

Hi,

I wonder if you could make some small Sinhalese contributions to the English Wiktionary. The Sinhalese contents is extremely low and even very basic words are missing and online resources are poor. There's a lot to do, not just entries and translation and any help would be appreciated, although the entries and translations should follow some basic standards (very different from Wikipedia). Wiktionary:Sinhalese_transliteration needs attention.

Please pass this along if you know a Sinhalese editor who might be interested. --Anatoli (talk) 01:12, 25 January 2012 (UTC)

Sri Vikrama Rajasinha - Edit Conflict

Hi MediaJet,

I thought I'd get in touch with you have made constructive edits to this article in the past. It would be great if we could all work together to get the article back to version where there content isn't politically motivated or subject to historical revisionism.

There seems to be an unconstructive edit war over the name of this article. I think it's time the matter was resolved by an administrator. The article was previously entitled, "Sri Vikrama Rajasinha of Kandy". "Sri Vikrama Rajasinha" was the most common name by which the last king was known as per both Sri Lankan and European records, a perusal of books on the Kanydan period will confirm this. Yes, "Sri" is an honorific prefix, but it is also the most common name by which he was known. The prefix "Mother" appears in the wikipedia entry on "Mother Teresa", this is in accordance with MOS:HONORIFIC: "Where an honorific is so commonly attached to a name that the name is rarely found without it, it should be included". Secondly, Tamilian101 has been attempting to add "Prince Kannusamy" to the king's name. Pre-coronation titles should appear in the article, but certainly not in the title of the article. Addressing a king by the lower title, "prince", is incorrect and disrespectful. The article on Queen Elizabeth does have "Princess Elizabeth" appended the the article's title for this reason. Regardless of your politics, historical revisionism is unhelpful. Prince Kannusamy Nayaka, a member of the Madurai royal family, chose the name "Sri Vikrama Rajasinha" upon his coronation (aged 18), and that is the most common name by which he was known throughout his life.

Furthermore, adding the name of the king in three separate languages on the English Language version of wikipedia clutters up the page with information that it largely uninformative for the vast majority of readers. It should be noted that Sri Lanka's inhabitants at the time also included Burghers and Moors (who spoke Dutch and Arabic among other languages), listing his names in all these languages is unnecessary clutter. This is why Queen Elizabeth's name does not appear in Welsh, Gaelic or any other language on the wikipedia entry, because it is uninformative on an English language encyclopedia and adds unnecessary clutter. I have added this information the article's and Tamilian101's talk page in the hope that he would see reason, but it is clear that he is trying to engage in politically motivated historical revisionism. I stated that adding "Prince Kannusamy" (a previous and more junior title) before the actual name of the king on the image and his completely unnecessary (we don't see Princess Elizabeth preceding "Queen Elizabeth II" on her wiki entry). My revisions have all been reverted without the reasons being addressed on the talk page.

This is an important article on one of the most interesting periods of Sri Lankan history, so please let's work together to make it more informative an accessible without quibbling over unconstructive modifications. If you have the time, I would really appreciate your input on how to go about getting the article back to into it's former, more accurate, version.

rollback

Hi MediaJet. After reviewing your request for "rollbacker", I have enabled rollback on your account. Keep in mind these things when going to use rollback:

  • Getting rollback is no more momentous than installing Twinkle.
  • Rollback should be used to revert clear cases of vandalism only, and not good faith edits.
  • Rollback should never be used to edit war.
  • If abused, rollback rights can be revoked.
  • Use common sense.

If you no longer want rollback, contact me and I'll remove it. Also, for some more information on how to use rollback, see Wikipedia:New admin school/Rollback (even though you're not an admin). I'm sure you'll do great with rollback, but feel free to leave me a message on my talk page if you run into troubles or have any questions about appropriate/inappropriate use of rollback. Thank you for helping to reduce vandalism. Happy editing! User:MediaJet (talk) 16:17, 13 September 2016 (UTC)Beeblebrox (talk) 20:01, 6 April 2013 (UTC)

You hate people just because of their views? That's very un-Buddhist.--obi2canibetalk contr 17:39, 13 April 2013 (UTC)

Truly speaking I dont cultivate hatred towards them,rather disgust them all,I had many Tamil friends in Kandy they never thought or talked about an Eelam,some of them were from Jaffna,Thivakaran a Tamil Brahmin from Jaffna was my best friend,those days we both used to go Kovil and he used to visit our Temple,that's how we lived,our Cultures are not that diverse too,Why want to Separate,lets unite :)

Honorifics

Do you understand why your edit at Zakir Naik was wrong? You put 'Dr.' in front of his name, which leads me to think you need to read WP:HONORIFICS and WP:CREDENTIALS. No big deal as long as you are going to follow our guidelines here. I'm mentioning this as you have applied for Review rights and you need to understand our polices, obviously, but I also think knowledge of our guidelines, esp for biographies, is important.

Good Day to you !!! Hii Dougweller,I know that what I did was wrong,actually I have read these guidelines sometime back and I am quite familiar with them though I just copy and pasted the Photo caption without thinking much,Its a silly mistake,Hope I will not do such a thing again.Thanks for pointing out the mistake :) MediaJet talk 16:50, 20 April 2013 (UTC)

Change in Ravana page

Hi, I had made a small change at Ravana page in the infobox of the first picture of the article. In the line "Ethnic", it's mentioned Legend, thamizhan. But thamizhan word link which i had removed actually points to a tamil movie and in no way connected or related with Ravana page. But you have reverted the change, please could you please check again and remove the error. Work2win (talk) 16:07, 3 February 2014 (UTC)

Warning icon Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to violate Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy by adding commentary and your personal analysis into articles, as you did at Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam, you may be blocked from editing. Calling the LTTE a terrorist organisation in Wikipedia's voice is a clear violation of WP:NPOV. Not even Al-Qaeda is described as a terrorist organisation in Wikipedia's voice. We can mention that LTTE is labelled as terrorist organisation by various governments but this must be done using in-text attribution as per WP:TERRORIST.

You have been editing on Wikipedia long enough to know that neutrality is one of the core content policies. obi2canibetalk contr 14:59, 18 April 2014 (UTC)

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Gamya Wijayadasa, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Sri Lankan (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). 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.

Proposed deletion of Sunflowers (band)

The article Sunflowers (band) has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

The band does not appear to comply with WP:MUSICBIO.

The article asserts that the band is one of the leading bands in Sri Lanka however the references provided only state "Janaki's vision is to be one of the leading bands at open air shows like the groups Sunflower" and "Chandrasena will be backed by the popular band Sunflowers" - this hardly collaborates the claim that they are 'one of the leading bands in Sri Lanka'. This is purely trivial coverage of the band at best. The bulk of the article is made up of a list of band members, which is taken from the band's facebook page - a primary self published source. The remaining references are all dead links.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Thank you for your contributions to the Wikimedia Projects. As a Sri Lankan editor, you are warmly invited to join the official Wikimedia Community User Group Sri Lanka and to subscribe to its mailing list, Wikimedia-LK.

The user group currently includes volunteers from Wikipedia and other projects, from the English, Sinhala, and Tamil speaking communities. It is the Wikimedia-approved platform for editors from Sri Lanka to enable wider collaboration, for both online and offline projects.

With your support, we hope to organize cross-project content improvement drives as part of online projects, as well as organize in-person edit-a-thons, training sessions, photowalks, and other such activities, in the near future. The ultimate goal(s) of these initiatives is to improve the overall coverage and quality of topics relating to Sri Lanka, as well as encourage new editors to join the Wikimedia community, while simultaneously empowering and retaining our existing team of editors.

There are no mandatory obligations for members who choose join the community, other than the usual editing rules for online projects, and the friendly space policy for in-person projects. You may also (or instead) subscribe to the mailing list, where any member could initiate discussions with volunteers across projects, notify members of events and meetings, stay up to date with competitions, organize your own events, and so on.

See you on board, and Happy Editing!

File:The Kandyan Convention of 1815.jpg

Hi. this image, while a very good one to have on wikipedia, is just too long- I have no idea how no one's brought this up, seeing as you appear to have put it on the Kandyan Convention page nearly three years ago.

I've taken the step of cropping the image so only the first page is shown- that way, it can be put in an infobox at least, which is how wikipedia articles for historic documents are usually handled. I'll try and upload the other pages as separate images when I get some free time next weekend. - ක - (talk) 16:58, 8 October 2017 (UTC)
