Not done Of any country, until the president is sworn in, meaning if he takes oath of office officially, he is president. Otherwise, it is called president-elect, even though he is elected to the position does not mean he is president yet. MAL MALDIVE (talk) 20:06, 22 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Amend Full name as Dissanayake Mudiyanselage Anura Kumara Dissanayake(දිසානායක මුදියන්සේලාගේ අනුර කුමාර දිසානායක ) also add his birthplace as Matale Sri Lanka Dissanayake12334 (talk) 02:21, 23 September 2024 (UTC)https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Le8kZFzaS0 Dissanayake12334 (talk) 02:21, 23 September 2024 (UTC) Dissanayake12334 (talk) 02:21, 23 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The report doesn't mention his full name. Currently cited source states he was born in Thambuththegama, not in Matale District. Chanaka L (talk) 02:45, 23 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Chanakal havent you check the youtube video Dissanayake12334 (talk) 04:13, 23 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Chanakal read this article carefully [1]https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c206l7pz5v1o as per the article he was born in Galewela, which is a town within Matale District.. Dissanayake12334 (talk) 04:18, 23 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The Ada Derana news report mention his father's and mother's full names, no his. For the birth birth place, can we agree that there are conflicting reports that says he is either born in Thambutthegama or Matale district? Chanaka L (talk) 04:53, 23 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Chanakal I just pointed out facts. He was born in Galawela, Matale, and he used to live in Thambuttegama. Those are two different things, right? Dissanayake12334 (talk) 06:23, 23 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Machan, this article from Daily News and this interview with life.lk say that he was born in Thambuththegama. So, according to those he was born and raised in Anuradhapura District. That's why I said there are conflicting reports on his birth place. As for resolving the conflicting facts, I have no idea how to, I am afraid. Chanaka L (talk) 06:58, 23 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Chanakal Ok leave it then ... There is a one more it should be the 9th Executive President of Sri Lanka, not the 10th. Most of the information here is incorrect. Dissanayake12334 (talk) 07:01, 23 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

He is the 10th overall and the 9th executive president of Sri Lanka. For further information, please refer to the article List of Presidents of Sri Lanka. QEnigma (talk) 17:27, 23 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I'm writing the request as there is an information error about the president. Anura Kumara Dissanayake is the ninth president not the tenth president of Sri Lanka. RBSA RGR (talk) 16:42, 23 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

He is the ninth executive, and tenth overall president of the country. See the listicle List of presidents of Sri Lanka. Chanaka L (talk) 16:49, 23 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Far-left politician

Add "far-left" in his lead description, that's how reliable sources refer to him 5.35.115.76 (talk) 13:45, 26 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Edit request for typo

"He has indicated that his government would increase social welfare grants, while eliminating value-added taxes on essential items such as food, health services, medical equipment, and educational services His government would reduce the cost of living and increase taxes on the wealthy while supporting their businesses." There is a missing period between these two sentences. 140.177.181.180 (talk) 19:51, 28 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Done. Nice spotting. Chanaka L (talk) 03:07, 29 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
