New more neutral title[edit]

The article as it was waiting to get into an edit war today or tomorrow hence I proactively merged 2 articles without any attributions. I created them both to balance Wikipedia but now I think we should simply have one article without any attribution. Those who want to expand them can write about the individual victims and let us know who may have killed them. Hope you like itRaveenS 14:41, 13 February 2007 (UTC)

What, neutral title? you just added 3 dead ltte people from Assasinations of LTTE members attributed to Sri Lankan government forces page and some other peoples who kicked out by iwaski and snowolfd4 from Assasinations attributed to Sri Lankan government forces article for various reasons and renamed Assassinations and murders attributed to the LTTE as Assassinations and murders during the Sri Lankan civil war. I'm strongly denies this page move. My opinion is, these pages should remain as the separate pages. --♪♫ ĽąĦĩŘǔ ♫♪ Walkie-talkie 17:26, 14 February 2007 (UTC) That is the whole idea is'nt it to have neutral articles in Wikipedai instead of fighting over all the time ? What about Taraki, what about Kumar Ponnambalam are they all not assinated why should'nt they be all in one list without attribution ? RaveenS 18:47, 14 February 2007 (UTC) So you want to regroup these people into one article? --♪♫ ĽąĦĩŘǔ ♫♪ Walkie-talkie 18:54, 14 February 2007 (UTC) That was my intention, just to have one list and have articles about the victims if they are notable and deal with who assasinated them in those articles because everywhere credible questions can be raised. The base of the LTTE killing article is Tamilnation.com I can argue that it is not a RS source hence like Tamilnet, it cannot be used to create an article. Most of the list in the LTTE comes from Tamilnation.com. Someone in the future can remove them all because it is coming from a website not a reputable source. I hope you understand. Thanks RaveenS 19:06, 14 February 2007 (UTC) Hello, I think a centralized article titled Assassinations of the Sri Lankan civil war (or something similar) would be a good idea. I think the assassinations should be attributed to whomever carried them out, but not necessarily in the titles. Although there is an argument to be made for having the two articles separately (especially if they are exceedingly long--but I don't think that applies here), merging them under one title that avoids any POV would make the articles more NPOV and also (in my opinion) more informative by concentrating related information in one place. If the merge is re-performed, I would also suggest standardizing the lists for clarity using a table format like the kind below: Victim Position/Title Date (of assassination) Perpetrated by

Cheers, Black Falcon 19:46, 14 February 2007 (UTC) I like the rename idea except the Perpetrated by column. Most of the dead people in this list come from a non WP:RS source but those who are WP:N are already have their own articles and others are awaiting to be created. We should leave the Perpertrated by out and leave it to the linked article about that notable persoopn to deal with it. For example take Kethesh Loganathan every body belives he was killed by the LTTE except some members oif his own family and some others. LTTE denies killing him but the article about him deals with this controversy. Take Taraki, everyone belives he was killed by the government agents but even there some questions have been raised as to who killed him. The article deals with it effectively. I dont think a major article on assasinatiosn during the Sri Lankan civil war needs to prove who did what because that will be unstable to subject to numerous revisions. That too aarticle whose bedrock of information a biased source that is Tamilnation.com, how can it be even stay long enough without been deleated. Hence my proposal to have aneutral article about the whole issue and link it to notable people ?14:21, 15 February 2007 (UTC)—The preceding unsigned comment was added by RaveenS (talk • contribs). Just my two cents..I think if we are to create an article (it would look more like a list!!)of people killed in the civil war, there are more than 60,000 people to be listed, i dont think this is possible :O), so it should be named as something like "Notable people killed during the Sri Lankan Civil War" and if its going to contain a table it should definitely have the Perpetrated by column. I dont believe wikipedia can contain an article that would not change forever, eventually someone is going to dispute something or the other if not who killed who, someone can dispute whether the person was killed in the first place. So lets be bold and forget about future conflicts and create the article. ŇëŧΜǒńğëŗTalk 14:54, 15 February 2007 (UTC) I like support the two points raised by Netmonger. The word Notable should be add into the title and the Perpetrated by column into the table. Terrorist attacks attributed to the LTTE and the Notable attacks attributed to the LTTE articles are clearly shows the accused or confirmed convicted party. Since the heading of this proposed page, not contain the accused person/party, at least we have to add that as a column. --♪♫ ĽąĦĩŘǔ ♫♪ Walkie-talkie 16:09, 15 February 2007 (UTC) OK, let's go for a Assasinations of Notable people during the Sri Lankan civil war but in the accused person party if the linked article is unclear I suggest we put undetermined. For example Kumar Ponnambalam is clearly the governmt agent but Taraki is not. Amirthalingam is clearly the LTTE but Kethesh Loganathan is undetermined because in the court of law no one has been convicted. Also what about people like Kadirgamar, no one has been convicted yet and LTTe denies it. In the case of Journalist Mylavaganam, an EPDP cadre was arrested but he fled the country what do we do there ? RaveenS 16:40, 15 February 2007 (UTC) So we can change the Perpetrated by column as Accused or carried out by. If we can add an asterisk (*) sign to indicate the confirmed crimes, it will be more easy to the readers to identify the criminals and it should be goes with the base article (if such exist) or if not, with a separate ref link. I like to hear from other two boys as well. Since we came through their ideas and taking the final decision we two alone seems unfair, Isn't it Raveen? --♪♫ ĽąĦĩŘǔ ♫♪ Walkie-talkie 17:28, 15 February 2007 (UTC) Just an idea: if there is significant controversy regarding who is responsible for the assassination, we could write disputed in the "Perpetrated by" column and add a note at the bottom (or unknown if the identity of the assassin(s) is unknown). I think changing the title of that column to "Carried out by" is a good idea--perpetrated by has a more negative (and thus POV) connotation than carried out by. I am, however, somewhat ambivalent about adding "notable" to the title. Although it does add some clarity (the downside is making the title longer), an assassination usually implies that the victim is an important public figure. Thanks for waiting ;-) Cheers, Black Falcon 17:52, 15 February 2007 (UTC) OK I like the compromises so these are what we are concluding to ? the title and the column Assasinations during the Sri Lankan civil war ? Disputed in the carried out by column ? Thanks RaveenS 18:27, 15 February 2007 (UTC) (Resetting indents) What a good discussion, guys! When I read Raveen's note I thought "Uh oh!", but after clicking on his link that pointed here I'm really relieved and impressed how well you got right to the heart of the matter and found a good solution! Here's my 2 cents about the remaining questions:

"Notable" in title: I agree that it's not strictly necessary. There is some value, though because it may discourage people who did not participate in this discussion from adding non-notable murders.

"carried out by" column: I like Lahiru's idea of graphically distinguishing confirmed from unconfirmed entries. Since Wikipedia normally should only contain confirmed information, I would propose to make the default confirmed, and set the unconfirmed cases apart. E.g. by putting them in parentheses like this: "(suspected: LTTE)". Just my 2 cents. — Sebastian 18:49, 15 February 2007 (UTC)

Guys per Netmonger, I think the word notable should be there. And If we are gonna consider about the length of the title and kick out the word notable, it may cause for an edit wars in future. So I think we should not take such a risk. Hope some of you doesn't know, that even we have argue to remove the Carried out by from the heading of Terrorist attacks attributed to the LTTE article. As per my knowledge, more than 68,000 died from this bloodiest conflict and even I have a list of 10,688 fallen soldiers between 15/10/81 - 30/06/99 of Sri Lanka Army, and those 7 letters will help us to filter the most notable people from the total 68,000. So my proposed title will be........... Notable assassinations during the Sri Lankan civil war or the Notable assassinations of the Sri Lankan civil war. --♪♫ ĽąĦĩŘǔ ♫♪ Walkie-talkie 19:00, 15 February 2007 (UTC) I am not particularly opposed to "notable" in the title (in fact, I wouldn't mind either way). My comment was intended to point out that "assassination" is a qualitatively different act from "murder" or "killing" in that assassination requires that the victim be a public figure (and so, soldiers would not qualify). However, if it is likely to prevent (or at least soften) future edit wars, then by all means include it. As you note, it's just 7 letters. As for "during the" vs. "of the", I would go with the second as "during the" refers to the time period 1983-present, whereas "of the" refers specifically to the conflict. Cheers, Black Falcon 19:29, 15 February 2007 (UTC) And it saves 4 letters! ;-) — Sebastian 20:12, 15 February 2007 (UTC) Yup, that what I meant by adding "of the" :-)

:-D ok then, ladies and gentlemen, here is the summary of this two days long discussion. 

Proposed title Notable assassinations of the Sri Lankan civil war and the Carried out by should be the title of the column with disputed on the bottom of the table. Asterisk (*) sign should be next to the assassin(s) name, in the column where the assassin(s) was disputed. --♪♫ ĽąĦĩŘǔ ♫♪ Walkie-talkie 05:35, 16 February 2007 (UTC) Everyone agree? --♪♫ ĽąĦĩŘǔ ♫♪ Walkie-talkie 09:23, 16 February 2007 (UTC) I do RaveenS I do as well. Black Falcon 17:59, 16 February 2007 (UTC) In order to begin the process of cleaning up the tangle of double (and sometimes triple) redirects that currently affect the articles on this topic, I went ahead and created the article with the title as proposed by Lahiru and seconded by RaveenS and Black Falcon: Notable assassinations of the Sri Lankan Civil War. I included detail on which articles were relinked on the talk page. -- Shunpiker 18:32, 17 February 2007 (UTC) Can I redirect it now per discussion ?RaveenS 22:25, 13 March 2007 (UTC) And take away their attribution to the LTTE? I'm sorry but don't even think about it.--snowolfD4( talk / @ ) 23:05, 13 March 2007 (UTC) No Snowwolf, I want to keep the attribution to the LTTE/Government/Unknown in that article. I have not done it in that article yet. Can you help me out there ? I am short of time. I really need to get a break from this mess. Thanks RaveenS 16:42, 14 March 2007 (UTC) What do you mean? He asked a very polite question, and you start bullying him? I'm so sick and tired of people telling others what they're allowed to think that I'll post a warning on your page. — Sebastian 06:26, 14 March 2007 (UTC) if anything we should change the title back to "carried out by the LTTE", since most of the cases here are proved to be their acts.Iwazaki 会話。討論 00:50, 14 March 2007 (UTC) No need to get emotional, the concensus in this page was that both the articles Assasinations attributed to LTTE and the Government should be turned into one article. Called Notable assasinations in the Sri lankan civil war. That is done. Now if its is done what is the purpose of this article. It has to redirected to that neutral article. I have removed questioonable sources like Tamilnation and Sangam from this article. What is good for the goose is goood for the gander too. Find WP:RS citatiosn for it in the near future. Thanks RaveenS 12:42, 14 March 2007 (UTC) By deleting the citations from Tamilnet and Sangam (which you added in the first place), I take it you accept that they are POV and should not be used as references Wikipedia. Am I correct. --snowolfD4( talk / @ ) 16:23, 14 March 2007 (UTC) I deleted Tamilnation not Tamilnet and Sangam because it is a questionable source but Can you also asnwer my previous question about helping me to add the attribution column to the NPOV article ? I am really busy (no midterms :-) but a couple of papers due) Thanks RaveenS 16:42, 14 March 2007 (UTC) I'll ask the same question again, do you accept that they are POV and should not be used as references Wikipedia? Yes or No? If its no, shall I reinsert the references from them into this article? And about a separate article, the fact is there are NO reliable sources attributing any assassinations to the government, apart from members of the LTTE, who aren't that important anyway. The other article is pretty much a copy of this, apart from the name and the inclusion of people like Richard De Soysa, who's killing had nothing to do with the current conflict other than taking place during it. --snowolfD4( talk / @ ) 17:49, 14 March 2007 (UTC) If no reliable sources attribute assassinations to the government, then no such "assassinations" should/will be included in the article. The pagemove does not in any way "hide" the fact that the LTTE carried out these assassinations. Any reader who sees the "Pepetrated by" column populated with "LTTE" over and over and over again will get the idea. I see one significant difference between the two titles: lists of things that are "attributed to" someone or something are inherently problematic, as "attributed to" implies a lack of verifiability. We shouldn't replace it with "carried out by" as this makes the article POV (some of the attributions are in dispute). Basically, what I'm trying to say is this: the pagemove does not involve any real change in content, but it does avoid the possible POV related to this title. As I have previously noted, I fully support the new title. -- Black Falcon 21:06, 14 March 2007 (UTC) I have revised the other per discussion above with a perpetrators column. Per discussion this is a POV article with pOv title should be redirected to the completed one. Thanks RaveenS 20:31, 14 March 2007 (UTC)

Untangling the links[edit]

A proposal to combine a list of notable assassinations has been floated and seems to be drawing support from people of varying sympathies. I created this page with the proposed title in order to begin the process of untangling the maze of double (and sometimes triple) redirects that currently afflict the articles about this topic.

For the time being, I have moved all redirects about assassinations attributed to the LTTE to point to Assassinations and murders attributed to the LTTE. I have moved all redirects about assassinations attributed to the Sri Lankan Government to point to Assasinations of LTTE members attributed to Sri Lankan government. It's understood that the content and titles of these articles may not be adequate. Perhaps some concerns can be addressed in the construction of the new article which treats notable assassinations attributed to both parties in the conflict.

I have moved all redirects about assassinations of the Sri Lankan Civil war (where the title does not specify attribution to the LTTE or the Sri Lankan Government) to point to this page.

Here is a summary of the pages that I found and redirected -- please amend as necessary:

Notable assassinations of the Sri Lankan Civil War:

Assassinations and murders attributed to the LTTE:

Assasinations of LTTE members attributed to Sri Lankan government:

--Shunpiker 18:31, 17 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Most of them have ridiculous titles. My watchlist is already cluttered with the changes you did today. I say we have a mass AFD and get rid of everything save Assasinations of LTTE members attributed to Sri Lankan government forces and Assassinations attributed to the LTTE. --snowolfD4( talk / @ ) 19:12, 17 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry to clutter your watchlist, but I think it couldn't be helped! I agree that some deletions are in order (or at the very least re-spellings), but it seemed like no progress could be made until it was at least clear which links should go where. -- Shunpiker 19:28, 17 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
In order for the redirects to be deleted, any articles that link to them must be re-linked to this article. One or more articles link to all of the redirects except:
Also, I'm not sure whether it's necessary to keep the redirects under GFDL rules as most of the redirects became redirects after page moves. I do agree that it's a mess and would favor seeing some of them deleted if possible. -- Black Falcon 19:55, 17 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Before we start deleting article we need to have an article as discussed complete. The starting point is already here[1] All what we have to do is prune all the non notable people from the list and add the appropriate column as to who did it or notRaveenS 13:18, 19 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Are we waiting to see who will bell the cat ? 17:46, 22 February 2007 (UTC)
I expanded the page into a disambiguation style page with links to Assassinations and murders attributed to the LTTE and Assasinations of LTTE members attributed to Sri Lankan government. When someone wants to start writing something more ambitious, please do. -- Shunpiker 17:58, 22 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I just did my it is just my interpretation of who is notable and who is not notable anyone feels different plase add or subtract also I have not added the column yet. I will do it laterRaveenS 14:16, 23 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Mentioning GoSL in intro[edit]

In Talk:Assassinations and murders attributed to the LTTE#redirect, Lahiru wrote:

  • [...] Since only one for the GoSL side without even a cite, it should be remove from that section and intro should be rewrite without the GoSL name. I'm bit confused how Richard de Zoysa became a notable assassinations of the Sri Lankan Civil War. As I know he was killed at the time(regarding) of JVP upraising.

These are good points. I assume by "one for the GoSL side", he refers to Ponnambalam. I agree that this does not justify writing "the government of Sri Lanka" in the intro. Also, the "citation needed" tag should be reflected in the intro. Moreover, since LTTE committed the vast majority of these crimes, it should be listed first. — Sebastian 20:37, 16 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Various changes[edit]

I have made and will continue to make various changes to the article (see diff) and propose two others to improve the quality of the article and bring it more in line with its title.

First, I have added a "Background" section (please rename it if you think of a better title) in which I propose we add general information about assassinations during the Sri Lankan Civil War, but only information related to assassinations (and not bombings, massacres, etc.). I have deliberately added one unsourced statement to that section stating that: "Most assassinations perpetrated during the conflict have been attributed to the LTTE." I believe this to be true, but was unable to find an online source for it (though I admit I haven't yet looked very hard). I have included this sentence primarily to reassure User:Iwazaki that it is not the purpose of this new title to "hide" the fact that the LTTE has assassinated many people. I believe the statement (or an equivalent) can be sourced, perhaps even with one of the references already present in the article.

Second, I propose that we gradually phase out footnotes in favour of various citation templates. The reason I suggest this is that citation templates, unlike footnotes, are self-updating and thus reduce the possibility for accidental deletion or shuffling of order. Also, all citation templates have a field requiring an "accessdate". If an online link goes dead, it can still be validly used as a reference if it has an "accessdate" that is confirmed in the edit history.

We currently have two articles that are largely redundant to each other and both could use improvement (particularly sourcing). I think the sooner we settle the issue, the sooner we can work on improving the version that remains (I believe the consensus is for this version). -- Black Falcon 02:49, 27 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Clean up[edit]

I have removed the things that are attributed to LTTE without proper NPOV citations. Most of this come from alligations from the Srilankan government. I am sorry but this is wikipedia not a Srilankan government sponcered site.Watchdogb 17:53, 23 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Ho Watchdogb, Actually if you have a google on any of those names you will find plenty of international (not Sri Lankan government) sources which clearly blame the LTTE for the killings. I have re-added the citations. Dutugemunu 21:49, 5 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Raviraj and the BBC source[edit]

Please do not re-add the part about criticising the LTTE as a possible cause for his death ... that constitutes an original synthesis. The BBC sources present that information in the context of noting that the TNA is not/may not be a proxy for the LTTE:

The Tamil National Alliance coalition that he was a part of has often been described as a proxy for the Tamil Tigers. Yet recently Raviraj had publicly criticised the Tamil Tiger leadership for sending their children abroad to be educated in luxury while poor Tamil children were suffering in their homeland.

In addition, a few lines above that, the article states: "The day before he was killed, Raviraj ... demonstrated in front of the United Nations offices in Colombo at the deaths of civilians from military shelling in the east of the country." -- Black Falcon (Talk) 19:49, 13 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Removign citations[edit]

Hi BlackFalcon , you have removed the BBC article on the ground its doesnt blame the LTTE for Gandhis assasination

Have a look at the following para from http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/south_asia/4835142.stm and tell me whats ambiguous about that

"It later emerged that a female Tamil Tiger (LTTE) suicide bomber had assassinated Rajiv Gandhi. " —Preceding unsigned comment added by Dutugemunu (talkcontribs) 22:14, 5 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I assume you meant http://news.bbc.co.uk/onthisday/hi/dates/stories/may/21/newsid_2504000/2504739.stm. I overlooked the blue portion of the page, only reading through the text on the left side, and I apologise for my error. Nonetheless, I did not remove the source; I only removed the explicit mention of the BBC. While the opinions of organizations can be explicitly mentioned and attributed, I wonder whether this should be done for news organisations ... the BBC is not alone in blaming the LTTE. While the opinion of international bodies such as the EU or UN, and of the Indian government (in whose jurisdiction the attack took place), are certainly worth mentioning, it seems awkward to state that "the Indian government and the BBC" blame the LTTE, as if they are the only ones that do so. – Black Falcon (Talk) 22:40, 5 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
