Senior Government School[edit]

The [article http://www.dailynews.lk/2005/01/18/fea06.html] states "accommodate the overflow of students Royal Primary who could not gain admission to Royal College". Which has been quoted word to word. Stating "112 students from Royal College Preparatory School who failed to pass grade 5 to gain admission to middle school of Royal College, Colombo were enrolled as new students of the then Senior Government School" is in accurate as the article does not state that.

Thanks. That's not vandalism, and you should know that term is a personal attack when used on good faith edits. There's nothing wrong with using primary sources when the info is non-controversial. The information appears to me to be well-verified and relevant to the page, so unless you have some other rationale, I'll re-insert it. Qwyrxian (talk) 23:31, 25 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Oh I thought that was the reason you reverted the same edits before [1]. Cossde (talk) 14:18, 26 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I see my confusion and the difference. The Isipanthana College link is not a reliable source, but the Thurstan College site appears to be the actual school's site, meaning it meets WP:RS as a self-published source. So we could re-add just that link and the information it supported. Qwyrxian (talk) 01:40, 27 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, and in any event, adding non-reliable sources isn't vandalism (though it is bad). Qwyrxian (talk) 01:41, 27 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

In such a case we can readd the link and the content it supports is already in the article. My reason for labeling this activity as vandalism was due to the sock puppet edits of a similar nature. Cossde (talk) 16:06, 27 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
