Spelling

The article uses two spellings: Maligawila and Maligawela. Is there a reason for this? Jerry picker (talk) 14:26, 19 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

No, that's my mistake. Maligawila is the correct spelling (it is the "official" name and is used by most reliable sources), although a few sources do call it Maligawela. ≈ Chamal ^talk ¤ 14:33, 19 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
