Collaboration

Hi,

I was wondering if you were interested in enriching the E.A.P. Edirisingha (Pvt) Ltd. page. If so I would be more than happy to assist you with regards to this. However, the subpages such as Swarnawahini, ETI and Swarnamahal pages should be enriched as well.

Please respond. --Gavin Michael (talk) 08:53, 22 April 2012 (UTC)

Currently I don't have enough time to write entire articles. But if we get started I'm sure we'll see some progress. Pheonix (talk) 15:21, 10 December 2012 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for November 19

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Kukule Ganga Power Station, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Generator (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Thank you for reviewing Aitken Spence article

Dear Hkn89,

Thank you for reviewing Aitken Spence wiki page and for the assessment. Any suggestions for improvement? Also with respect to the scale of importance, Sri Lanka wiki project states the following criteria for ascertaining importance:

Importance assessment

The following values may be used for importance assessments:

Top - The article is about one of the core topics of Sri Lanka as listed in

. Adds articles to Category:Top-importance Sri Lanka articles

High - The article is about the most well-known or culturally or historically significant aspects of Sri Lanka. Adds articles to Category:High-importance Sri Lanka articles

Mid - The article is about a topic within the field that may or may not be commonly known outside the Sri Lanka community. Adds articles to Category:Mid-importance Sri Lanka articles

Low - The article is about a topic that is highly specialized within the field of Sri Lanka studies and is not generally common knowledge outside that community. Adds articles to Category:Low-importance Sri Lanka articles.

Aitken Spence is present in 7 countries and is a major tourism player in the Maldives. Therefore, the company is known outside of Sri Lanka and given the above criteria wanted your feedback on whether it could be considered as "Mid" importance instead.

Would appreciate your ideas for improvement. Thanks,

Adheesha88 (talk) 18:46, 22 December 2012 (UTC)

Hi, First of all thank you for the effort you've put into the article. This importance rating is given only regarding the Sri Lanka Project. Even though as a article it has a higher importance it would be rated low in Sri Lanka WikiProject. (You can understand it by reading the definition of Low). As for improvements there are some abbreviations that a standard reader would not understand. I would suggest using this as a guideline http://toolserver.org/~dispenser/view/Peer_reviewer#page:Aitken_Spence. Pheonix (talk) 05:25, 23 December 2012 (UTC)

Thanks Hkn for the review tool. Clarified the abbreviations as you had suggested. Working on few other wiki pages too. Will seek your feedback once the work is complete.Adheesha88 —Preceding undated comment added 07:02, 12 January 2013 (UTC)

This website http://www.lankalibrary.com/books/sinhala.htm doesn't tell, that there are 6th centry BC Sinhala inscriptions. You are misrepresenting, what's actually written there, hence I've to revert your edit.--Dravidianhero (talk) 11:51, 8 January 2013 (UTC)

Altair (Building

Hi. I am a member of the team developing the project so a lot of the information is through my personal knowledge of the project. How do I reference that? We will be releasing a brochure/updating the website soon so some of the references will get resolved at that point. -User Talk: Surekap

Hi, Thank you for your contribution. As per policies of wikipedia all material should be referenced and wikipedia should not contain original research. There were some newspaper articles on this topic I would suggest citing those. One extra thing if you a personally involved with the project please take extra care about Wikipedia:Neutral point of view.HKN ^talk 05:52, 26 January 2013 (UTC)

Hi Hkn89, I'm afraid you are wrong, as stated in the speedy deletion tag, "If this article does not meet the criteria for speedy deletion, or you intend to fix it, please remove this notice". I did not create this article, however edited it accordingly to establish the notability of the person which is established per article 2 of WP:ANYBIO. Therefore I am proceeding with the removal of the tag once again. Cossde (talk) 17:55, 13 February 2013 (UTC)

Asian 10,000 Challenge invite

Hi. The Wikipedia:WikiProject Asia/The 10,000 Challenge has recently started, based on the UK/Ireland Wikipedia:The 10,000 Challenge and Wikipedia:WikiProject Africa/The 10,000 Challenge. The idea is not to record every minor edit, but to create a momentum to motivate editors to produce good content improvements and creations and inspire people to work on more countries than they might otherwise work on. There's also the possibility of establishing smaller country or regional challenges for places like South East Asia, Japan/China or India etc, much like Wikipedia:The 1000 Challenge (Nordic). For this to really work we need diversity and exciting content and editors from a broad range of countries regularly contributing. At some stage we hope to run some contests to benefit Asian content, a destubathon perhaps, aimed at reducing the stub count would be a good place to start, based on the current Wikipedia:WikiProject Africa/The Africa Destubathon which has produced near 200 articles in just three days. If you would like to see this happening for Asia, and see potential in this attracting more interest and editors for the country/countries you work on please sign up and being contributing to the challenge! This is a way we can target every country of Asia, and steadily vastly improve the encyclopedia. We need numbers to make this work so consider signing up as a participant! Thank you. --Ser Amantio di Nicolao^{Che dicono a Signa?}_{Lo dicono a Signa.} 02:15, 21 October 2016 (UTC)

Wikimedia Community User Group Sri Lanka

Dear Pheonixter, Thank you for your contributions to the Wikimedia Projects. As a Sri Lankan editor, 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!
