October 2009[edit]

Welcome to Wikipedia. It might not have been your intention, but you removed a speedy deletion tag from Dr.Uthum Herat, a page you have created yourself. If you do not believe the page should be deleted, you can place a {{hangon}} tag on the page, under the existing speedy deletion tag (please do not remove the speedy deletion tag), and make your case on the page's talk page. Administrators will look at your reasoning before deciding what to do with the page. Thank you. -- Alan Liefting (talk) - 01:04, 25 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not remove speedy deletion notices from pages you have created yourself, as you did with this edit to Dr.Uthum Herat. Please use the {{hangon}} template on the page instead if you disagree with the deletion, and make your case on the page's talk page. Thank you. Geoff ^T ^C 01:05, 25 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Per Wikipedia:Username policy, a wikipedian should only use one account. If you contact an admin, they might help you out with the matter. Drop me a note if you're having problems. Cheers--Chanaka L (talk) 06:30, 24 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I contacted Admin User:PeterSymonds, he might help. Meantime can you recall all the accounts you have previous used. I believe,

are your accounts. I found them in edit histories of Radio Ceylon and Vernon Corea.--Chanaka L (talk) 10:44, 24 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I'm afraid, it can't be done. However you can create redirects to the current user name, then post a note there saying, "I have previously edited under these names ...". Hope that'll help. Cheers--Chanaka L (talk) 13:29, 24 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

ArbCom elections are now open![edit]

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

Wikimedia Community User Group Sri Lanka[edit]

Dear Colomboheat,

Thank you for your contributions to the Wikimedia Projects. As an editor from Sri Lanka, 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!

Proposed deletion of Maha Nuge Gardens[edit]

The article Maha Nuge Gardens has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

This is just a posh, upper class residential lane, barely a neighborhood of Kollupitiya, Colombo. Fails WP:GNG. Google search yields no significant results.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages 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 page 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.
