Hello, all. It was initially my hope to try to have this done as part of Esperanza's proposal for an appreciation week to end on Wikipedia Day, January 15. However, several people have once again proposed the entirety of Esperanza for deletion, so that might not work. It was the intention of the Appreciation Week proposal to set aside a given time when the various individuals who have made significant, valuable contributions to the encyclopedia would be recognized and honored. I believe that, with some effort, this could still be done. My proposal is to, with luck, try to organize the various WikiProjects and other entities of wikipedia to take part in a larger celebrartion of its contributors to take place in January, probably beginning January 15, 2007. I have created yet another new subpage for myself (a weakness of mine, I'm afraid) at User talk:Badbilltucker/Appreciation Week where I would greatly appreciate any indications from the members of this project as to whether and how they might be willing and/or able to assist in recognizing the contributions of our editors. Thank you for your attention.

I see. I had thought it was a place name! I just found that we already have an article on him: Nyanaponika Thera. Maybe that was his earlier name? Or maybe he was just modest and that's what he called himself?

I would like to invite you all to participate in a discussion at this thread regarding bilateral relations between two countries. All articles related to foreign relations between countries are now under the scope of WikiProject Foreign relations, a newly created project.

Please see this discussion on my talk page for reinforcement that the idea of an infobox would be useful, especially to link together the towns and/or villages in each province or district, keeping them off the orphan page, and allowing interested readers to navigate more easily between articles. I have no idea how to make such an infobox, but you seem to be on the right track here.

No localised infobox is necessarily needed. This example on the left is a completely normal Infobox City. The only thing I did was to create a location map for Sri Lanka (you can found it here). Of course the location map can also (relatively) cleanly be used directly, an example is on the left. There are few more possible parameters, the documentation for the location maps is here. Whether the map used in the location map is the best possible to use is another matter... or whether it is even correctly used in the examples (I think it's ok, but I'm often wrong :D). In any case it can very easily be replaced by any equirectangular map, and such change is completely invisible in wikicode at article level.

Original version

Looks great. Nice stuff Sadalmelik. And the location of Kandy looks to be okay. I wouldn't mind a slightly better map though. This one is a little too green in my opinion. Just came across this map Image:Karnataka locator map.svg which looks a lot better. Anyone who could edit svg files want to try improving the one we have now? --snowolfD4 ( talk / @ ) 17:56, 25 July 2007 (UTC)__DTREPLYBUTTONSCONTENT__-->__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2007-07-25T17:56:00.000Z","author":"Snowolfd4","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-Snowolfd4-2007-07-25T17:56:00.000Z-Infobox_for_Towns_and_villages_of_Sri_Lanka","replies":["c-Sadalmelik-2007-07-26T09:25:00.000Z-Snowolfd4-2007-07-25T17:56:00.000Z","c-Sadalmelik-2007-07-29T19:59:00.000Z-Snowolfd4-2007-07-25T17:56:00.000Z"]}}-->

I could do some experimenting during the weekend to see whether I could improve it – I have not use Inkscape much, though. I would also like to make the districts more visible, either by thickening the lines, or using colours. Perhaps using different bluish colours for districts in one province and greenish colours in another province might make the districts more visible and still keep the provinces easily identifiable. – Sadalmelik 09:25, 26 July 2007 (UTC)__DTREPLYBUTTONSCONTENT__-->__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2007-07-26T09:25:00.000Z","author":"Sadalmelik","type":"comment","level":2,"id":"c-Sadalmelik-2007-07-26T09:25:00.000Z-Snowolfd4-2007-07-25T17:56:00.000Z","replies":[]}}-->
How's this modified version? Colours are a lot lighter, so the text should be visible, and districts are more prominent. District capitals, roads and rivers are too difficult to add to the svg file... the original creator of the file could do it quite easily, though. I could do it myself, but I don't have district borders in the format the map making software I have used would be able to read. – Sadalmelik 19:59, 29 July 2007 (UTC)__DTREPLYBUTTONSCONTENT__-->__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2007-07-29T19:59:00.000Z","author":"Sadalmelik","type":"comment","level":2,"id":"c-Sadalmelik-2007-07-29T19:59:00.000Z-Snowolfd4-2007-07-25T17:56:00.000Z","replies":[]}}-->

In regard to the info box project: "Infobox for Towns and villages of Sri Lanka" I suggest that you may find it interesting to take a look at the wepages http://www.geocities.com/place.names/barelist.htm http://www.geocities.com/place.names/index.html and the maps given by them. They have been researched by a number of distinguished Sri lankan academics; much of the work is in relation to the Tamil place named in the East and the North. I have used info from that website and included them in many of the articles, including in Killinochchi, in the article on place names Bodhi dhana 04:02, 29 September 2007 (UTC)bodhi_dhana__DTREPLYBUTTONSCONTENT__-->__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2007-09-29T04:02:00.000Z","author":"Bodhi dhana","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-Bodhi_dhana-2007-09-29T04:02:00.000Z-Old_Sinhala_Place_Names_of_Sri_Lankan_cities","replies":[]}}-->

Please, help to save the Sinhala Slang article. Please give our thoughts at Delete Talk Page. I beleive referances can be found and will be included in the article. Scholarly articles on Sinhala language is anyway rare on the net, and I do not agree on making it an excuse to delete the article. The native speakers of Sinhala knows that this is an accurate list of Sinhala slang. The only reason that I can think of that a native speaker of Sinhala opposes this article, is the awakwardness of seeing Sinhala profanity in print (which they are not used to), If the offending section is only the profanity, perhaps we should get rid of only that section. I also have doubts why Sri Lankan Tamil slang has only recived an warning and not recomended for deletion. The article Sri Lankan Tamil slang does not have any more referances than Sinhala Slang, and only differance is that it is not being honest about it in "Referances" section like Sinhala Slang.

The article Sri Lanka Army and some 20 other pages[1] cite a book with a bad ISBN 995-8089-02-8 Parameter error in {{ISBN}}: checksum. The correct one should be ISBN 955-8089-02-8. I could go through them and correct the ISBN, but perhaps something else needs to be checked as well? Is this a good book and edition to cite? Should "Sri Lanka Army" really be specified as the author? How do you typically handle errors of this kind in this WikiProject? Do you maintain a list of standard literature, and would this book be on that list? After all, it's cited in 20 articles. --LA2 10:53, 11 October 2007 (UTC)__DTREPLYBUTTONSCONTENT__-->__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2007-10-11T10:53:00.000Z","author":"LA2","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-LA2-2007-10-11T10:53:00.000Z-Citations_and_ISBNs","replies":["c-Lahiru_k-2007-10-11T14:17:00.000Z-LA2-2007-10-11T10:53:00.000Z"]}}-->

As the editor who cited this book in Wikipedia, here I am to answer to your questions :-) For my ease I will answer to your questions by splitting your query into parts.
  1. What you are talking is not clear to me. The ISBN is ok and there is no problem (even you too are repeating the same number). If you have any doubt about the ISBN pls check this page.
  2. Yes it's a good reputated book which was used by many number of researchers and scholars to cite the history and other stuff of the Sri Lanka Army.
  3. This book is a result of a team work of number of retired and some senior army officers. This team interviewed each army commander to cover each era of the army. If you want I can give all the names of these team members as well.
  4. I do not see any problem there.
  5. No we don't maintain any list.

The prefix 995- should be corrected to 955-. There is just one digit wrong, and that's easy to overlook. But if you click the bad ISBN and then "Find this book at Worldcat", you will find nothing.

The above named project, Wikipedia:WikiProject NCSLC, is basically inactive. Considering that the content it deals with is also addressed by this project, I propose that it be merged into this project, and I would Support such a merger.

Personally, I think that project might just as easily merge into this one as well. Right now, there are three extant projects dealing with Sri Lanka, and only one of them provides assessments, Sri Lanka. Having said that, I wouldn't mind seeing SLR become a subproject/taskforce/work group of the main Sri Lanka project and NCSLC merging into SLR.

The project should not be merged with the others since it was intended to be a non-Sri Lankan, non-Tamil perspective of the war. To merge it with a namesake is not right. It is inactive and I am working on bringing together fair minded editors, thanks.

As you may have heard, we at the Wikipedia 1.0 Editorial Team recently made some changes to the assessment scale, including the addition of a new level. The new description is available at WP:ASSESS.

  • The new C-Class represents articles that are beyond the basic Start-Class, but which need additional references or cleanup to meet the standards for B-Class.
  • The criteria for B-Class have been tightened up with the addition of a rubric, and are now more in line with the stricter standards already used at some projects.
  • A-Class article reviews will now need more than one person, as described here.

Each WikiProject should already have a new C-Class category at Category:C-Class_articles. If your project elects not to use the new level, you can simply delete your WikiProject's C-Class category and clarify any amendments on your project's assessment/discussion pages. The bot is already finding and listing C-Class articles.

Please leave a message with us if you have any queries regarding the introduction of the revised scheme. This scheme should allow the team to start producing offline selections for your project and the wider community within the next year. Thanks for using the Wikipedia 1.0 scheme!

Wikipedia 0.7 is a collection of English Wikipedia articles due to be released on DVD, and available for free download, later this year. The Wikipedia:Version 1.0 Editorial Team has made an automated selection of articles for Version 0.7.

We would like to ask you to review the articles selected from this project. These were chosen from the articles with this project's talk page tag, based on the rated importance and quality. If there are any specific articles that should be removed, please let us know at Wikipedia talk:Version 0.7. You can also nominate additional articles for release, following the procedure at Wikipedia:Release Version Nominations.

A list of selected articles with cleanup tags, sorted by project, is available. The list is automatically updated each hour when it is loaded. Please try to fix any urgent problems in the selected articles. A team of copyeditors has agreed to help with copyediting requests, although you should try to fix simple issues on your own if possible.

We would also appreciate your help in identifying the version of each article that you think we should use, to help avoid vandalism or POV issues. These versions can be recorded at this project's subpage of User:SelectionBot/0.7. We are planning to release the selection for the holiday season, so we ask you to select the revisions before October 20. At that time, we will use an automatic process to identify which version of each article to release, if no version has been manually selected. Thanks!

This Wikiproject is almost inactive now. Out of the 46 recorded members, very few seem to be active on Wikipedia. How about the rest of us who are still here get it organized and running again?

That's a good idea. We can send a message to each of the members asking for their feedback, and we can know who are still interested in the project. Then we can get them together and maybe under the guidance of some experienced editors (I hope some are still here) we can get it rolling again. Let's wait and see how the responses here from others will be. BTW, nice job with the National merit award.

Hello all...

An image used in the Anil Moonesinghe article, specifically Image:Anil 2.jpg, has a little bit of a licensing issue. The image was uploaded back when the rules around image uploading were less restrictive. It is presumed that the uploader was willing to license the picture under the GFDL license but was not clear in that regard. As such, the image, while not at risk of deletion, is likely not clearly licensed to allow for free use in any future use of this article. If anyone has an image that can replace this and can upload it, it would be best.

It's now almost two weeks since I sent out the first message seeking help to revive the Wikiproject, after the discussion here. Six editors have added themselves to the currently active members list so far, and I guess that's all for now. So what do you guys think about this? Do you think we can get it up and running again? Any suggestions etc? Our scope is, naturally, everything to do with Portal:Sri Lanka (which has a lot of work to be done). Can anyone tell us about how it went in the days when the project was active, so that we can know how it functioned and maybe do likewise ourselves? I was never an active member, and the project seems to have become inactive in the time I joined Wikipedia, so I don't know.

I have relatively less experience working with articles related to Sri Lanka. I strongly feel that we need to activate this wikiproject. By experienece of other South Asian wikiprojects, I think we need to create stub articles about most of the basic entities in Sri Lanka such as districts, zones, rivers, airports, universities and so on and then work on selected articles to improve their quality. On articles with a lot of resources, we can elaborate the article and propose it for good article and finally featured article. I think we have a lot of stubs, now we need to work on selected articles to uplift it to good article. --Eukesh (talk) 14:49, 7 October 2008 (UTC)__DTREPLYBUTTONSCONTENT__-->__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2008-10-07T14:49:00.000Z","author":"Eukesh","type":"comment","level":2,"id":"c-Eukesh-2008-10-07T14:49:00.000Z-Chamal_N-2008-10-07T13:49:00.000Z","replies":["c-Taprobanus-2008-10-08T01:36:00.000Z-Eukesh-2008-10-07T14:49:00.000Z"]}}-->

hello all, i think starting point is Sri Lanka topics somewhat similar to Taprobanus doing with Tamil people topics. Look at these red links, you can have an idea of how much poor sri lankan articles are.

But if we work together, we will be more effective and efficient. I also agree that GA and FA articles are the best way to draw attention to the Wikiproject. Maybe we can work together on improving such articles, and focus on getting them to GA/FA. The article List of Prime Ministers of Sri Lanka is currently a featured list candidate.

There is a point in working together, what I have found in my few years in Wikipedia is that people are motivated by few subject matters and tend to contribute in those overwhelmingly. Then they tire out and burn out and just fade away. Even when people work together such as WP:Karnataka, there is always one guy who keeps it going. Having said that it is so difficult to find people to copy edit and improve an article to make it encyclopedic. So may be we need to figure out a way to get help from each other to improve articles Taprobanus (talk) 21:29, 8 October 2008 (UTC)__DTREPLYBUTTONSCONTENT__-->__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2008-10-08T21:29:00.000Z","author":"Taprobanus","type":"comment","level":7,"id":"c-Taprobanus-2008-10-08T21:29:00.000Z-Chanakal-2008-10-08T14:37:00.000Z","replies":["c-Chanakal-2008-10-09T09:09:00.000Z-Taprobanus-2008-10-08T21:29:00.000Z"]}}-->

Hi! I'd like to draw your attention to the new WikiProject coordinators' working group, an effort to bring both official and unofficial WikiProject coordinators together so that the projects can more easily develop consensus and collaborate. This group has been created after discussion regarding possible changes to the A-Class review system, and that may be one of the first things discussed by interested coordinators.

All designated project coordinators are invited to join this working group. If your project hasn't formally designated any editors as coordinators, but you are someone who regularly deals with coordination tasks in the project, please feel free to join as well. — Delievered by §hepBot (Disable) on behalf of the WikiProject coordinators' working group at 06:38, 28 February 2009 (UTC)__DTREPLYBUTTONSCONTENT__-->__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2009-02-28T06:38:00.000Z","author":"ShepBot","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-ShepBot-2009-02-28T06:38:00.000Z-Coordinators'_working_group","replies":[],"displayName":"\u00a7hepBot"}}-->

This is a notice to let you know about Article alerts, a fully-automated subscription-based news delivery system designed to notify WikiProjects and Taskforces when articles are entering Articles for deletion, Requests for comment, Peer review and other workflows (full list). The reports are updated on a daily basis, and provide brief summaries of what happened, with relevant links to discussion or results when possible. A certain degree of customization is available; WikiProjects and Taskforces can choose which workflows to include, have individual reports generated for each workflow, have deletion discussion transcluded on the reports, and so on. An example of a customized report can be found here.

If you are already subscribed to Article Alerts, it is now easier to report bugs and request new features. We are also in the process of implementing a "news system", which would let projects know about ongoing discussions on a wikipedia-wide level, and other things of interest. The developers also note that some subscribing WikiProjects and Taskforces use the display=none parameter, but forget to give a link to their alert page. Your alert page should be located at "Wikipedia:PROJECT-OR-TASKFORCE-HOMEPAGE/Article alerts". Questions and feedback should be left at Wikipedia talk:Article alerts.

Currently, our articles for Sri Lankan monarchs follow two naming schemes. Some include only the name of the monarch, while others have the name and "of Sri Lanka" (e.g: Dutthagamani of Sri Lanka). I don't see a reason for the latter naming policy. WP:NCNT is specifically for European monarchs, where certain names are have been used my rulers of multiple times. We don't have such overlaps, so I propose all the article be moved to the name of the monarch only. --snowolfD4 ( talk / @ ) 19:23, 27 June 2009 (UTC)__DTREPLYBUTTONSCONTENT__-->__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2009-06-27T19:23:00.000Z","author":"Snowolfd4","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-Snowolfd4-2009-06-27T19:23:00.000Z-Naming_policy_for_Sri_Lankan_monarchs","replies":["c-Blackknight12-2009-06-28T02:12:00.000Z-Snowolfd4-2009-06-27T19:23:00.000Z"]}}-->

Instead of moving all articles to their name only, when I have time, I will change it to there names and include their respective kingdoms they are from, eg. Parākramabāhu I of Polonnaruwa, because there are names that overlaps between the kingdoms plus a name and a place in the title of the article looks of better quality as well. --Blackknight12 (talk) 02:12, 28 June 2009 (UTC)__DTREPLYBUTTONSCONTENT__-->__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2009-06-28T02:12:00.000Z","author":"Blackknight12","type":"comment","level":2,"id":"c-Blackknight12-2009-06-28T02:12:00.000Z-Snowolfd4-2009-06-27T19:23:00.000Z","replies":["c-Snowolfd4-2009-06-30T14:00:00.000Z-Blackknight12-2009-06-28T02:12:00.000Z"]}}-->
No I don't think that's a good idea. Parākramabāhu I wasn't just "King of Polonnaruwa". He was King of Sri Lanka.

The ruler of the main kingdom (Anuradhapura/Polonnaruwa etc) was accepted as the rightful ruler of the whole country, whether they had control of the whole country or not. Therefore they should be kings of 'Sri Lanka' regardless of the kingdom. Provincial rulers can be named the way Blackknight12 suggested though (eg:rulers of Ruhuna). Otherwise we should drop the king of part entirely as Snowolf suggests.

After a recent request, I added WikiProject Sri Lanka to the list of projects to compile monthly pageview stats for. The data is the same used by http://stats.grok.se/en/ but the program is different, and includes the aggregate views from all redirects to each page. The stats are at Wikipedia:WikiProject Sri Lanka/Popular pages.

The page will be updated monthly with new data. The edits aren't marked as bot edits, so they will show up in watchlists. You can view more results, request a new project be added to the list, or request a configuration change for this project using the toolserver tool. If you have any comments or suggestions, please let me know. Thanks!

Somebody told me that the Joseph camp in Vavuniya actually had nothing to do with somebody or something called "Joseph", but that it referred to "joint operation" something. I could not find any reliable confirmation on the web, but here is a reference to "the Joseph camp (Note: the reference is to the former JOSFH or Joint Operations Security Forces Headquarters) in Vavuniya". However, this 2008 report from the French asylum agency uses the name "camp Joseph" and says that nobody knows its meaning, but that there is a "Joseph Lane" in the vicinity of the camp. There are also references to a JOSSOP (Joint Services special operation) camp [3] [4]. Is there any reliable source on the correct name of this camp and its origin ?

I would say the Sunday Times link you found is a reliable source on the name of the camp. Iqbal Athas knows what he's talking about, and is/was regarded as the premier defense corresponded.
