The proper way to re-name the article was to ask for it be moved. Your copy-paste edits have corrupted edit histories and made a lot of work for others.--obi2canibe^{talk contr} 16:35, 17 March 2013 (UTC

I believe the correct pronunciation is Maththala, not Mattala. Similar to Thaththa, not Tatta (sinhala word for father/dad). I don't think there will be any child in the whole country who would call his/her father Tatta. So why this Mattala nonsense?

Ecological controversy

Can someone please include the ecological controversy faced with building this airport in this location , if you know? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 112.135.5.55 (talk) 14:47, 18 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
