License tagging for Image:PCAbeysiriwardana.jpg[edit]

Thanks for uploading Image:PCAbeysiriwardana.jpg. Wikipedia gets thousands of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:

If you need help on selecting a tag to use, or in adding the tag to the image description, feel free to post a message at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. 08:09, 3 July 2007 (UTC) ~~==Speedy deletion nomination of Research I Do (Sri Lankan Scientists and Their Researches)==~~

~~Speedy deletion nomination of Research I Do (Sri Lankan Scientists and Their Researches)[edit]~~

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. This is a notice that Research I Do (Sri Lankan Scientists and Their Researches), a page that you created, has been tagged for deletion. This has been done under two or more of the criteria for speedy deletion, by which pages can be deleted at any time, without discussion. If the page meets any of these strictly-defined criteria, then it may soon be deleted by an administrator. The reasons it has been tagged are:
It is unambiguous vandalism or an obvious hoax. (See section G3 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) Please do not introduce inappropriate pages to Wikipedia; doing so is not in accordance with our policies. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox.

It is an "attack page", (See section G10 of the criteria for speedy deletion.)
Do not create pages that attack, threaten, or disparage their subject or any other entity. Attack pages and files are not tolerated by Wikipedia, and users who create or add such material may be blocked from editing

Proposed deletion of Audio Visual Centre (AVC) – Sri Lanka[edit]

The article Audio Visual Centre (AVC) – Sri Lanka has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Unsourced article about a media centre in a government department. While the department is notable it is doubtful the media centre alone is, and certainly this article makes no claim of notability.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

August 2019[edit]

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to remove speedy deletion notices from pages you created yourself, as you did at Research I Do (Sri Lankan Scientists and Their Researches), you may be blocked from editing. Railfan23 (talk) 06:46, 15 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of Sri Lankan Scientists and Their Researches[edit]

Hello, PrabathCA,

Welcome to Wikipedia! I edit here too, under the username DannyS712 and it's nice to meet you :-)

I wanted to let you know that I have tagged an article that you started, Sri Lankan Scientists and Their Researches, for deletion, because it's impossible to identify the subject of the article.

If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can contest this deletion but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top. If the page is already deleted by the time you come across this message and you wish to retrieve the deleted material, please contact the deleting administrator.

For any further query, please leave a comment here and prepend it with {{Re|DannyS712}}. And, don't forget to sign your reply with ~~~~ . Thanks!

Message delivered via the Page Curation tool, on behalf of the reviewer.

True, it is ten years since you first edited Wikipedia but in that time you have learnt little of our ways. This article and Research I Do (Sri Lankan Scientists and Their Researches) were clear examples of using Wikipedia as a free host. If you want a place where Sri Lankan scientists can share ideas, go to Wikia and create a new wiki. Here, the most you can do is make sure that category:Sri Lankan scientists and its sub-categories are fully populated. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 08:37, 15 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
