The violence is now on a nationwide scale. It makes sense to have one article, in order to avoid multiple smaller ones. Reh man 08:56, 7 March 2018 (UTC)
Update: I wouldn't mind merging myself, but the internet here is very choppy now. The government has (partially) also blocked facebook, youtube, whatsapp, and maybe some others as well, in order to stop the spread of false info, as clearly the riots greatly escalated due to the spread of fake news. Please remember to clearly WP:SOURCE and maintain WP:NPOV. The government is doing all they can to control the violence, and if Wikipedia is flagged for being biased or harbouring fake info, it can too be blocked. We do not want that. Yours truly, Reh man 09:10, 7 March 2018 (UTC)
We need pictures in advance to prove the information whether we are accurate in providing the information in this manner. Rumours can be spread through these violent crime incidents. Abishe ( talk) 09:44, 7 March 2018 (UTC)
In this article,there wasn't mentioned about the truth behind these series of actions.The author mentioned that the target were mosques.There is no any word regarding the killed sinhalese people and desroued buddhist temples. VishadaUdayanga ( talk) 13:53, 7 March 2018 (UTC)
Anti-muslim or Anti buddhist ? Are the buddhist the only ones who want to answer for this? What about the killed sinahalese? This article was created by a extremist who tries to turn this island to coffins.. VishadaUdayanga ( talk) 13:59, 7 March 2018 (UTC)
The result of the move request was: no consensus to move the article at this time. Although it is a good impulse to search for neutral titles, we generally follow the usage of reliable sources (see WP:NPOVNAME). Further, the discussion below does not exhibit a consensus in favor of a move to any particular title. Dekimasu よ! 16:57, 20 March 2018 (UTC)
I propose this as this violence was caused against both Muslims and Buddhists in the country. Muslims destroyed Pansalas while Buddhists attacked the mosques. It was my fault to have created the article with the heading stating that the violence was conducted only by the Buddhists against Muslims (I mainly focused on the Ampara incident during the attempt to create this article) Abishe ( talk) 14:44, 7 March 2018 (UTC)--Relisting. —usernamekiran (talk) 18:58, 14 March 2018 (UTC)
I do think the title can be a little bias they do have Buddhist victims by Muslim. Leftwinguy92 ( talk) 09:16, 8 March 2018 (UTC)
it was started by Muslims. At 2 PM on 22 February 2018, a Sinhalese lorry driver from Ambala, Medamahanuwara was subjected to an assault by four Muslim youths in Karaliyadda, Teldeniya. The victim was admitted to the intensive care unit of the Kandy General Hospital and died on the night of 2 March from his injuries. Leftwinguy92 ( talk) 10:16, 8 March 2018 (UTC)
Comment: Isn't it possible to use a title that does not specify which party started the conflict? I find both the old and the new name problematic. Aren't both names violating WP:NEUTRALITY?-- Farang Rak Tham (Talk) 12:03, 8 March 2018 (UTC)

@ Usernamekiran: Instead of your suggestion 2018 Communal violence in Sri Lanka I have already suggested to change the header as the 2018 Buddhist-Muslim riots in Sri Lanka because it gives more clarity to others without just saying it as a communal violence. Abishe ( talk) 15:27, 15 March 2018 (UTC)
A person was killed in a grenade blast as a part of the communal violence in the country yesterday. [1] (place is unknown) Abishe ( talk) 11:02, 8 March 2018 (UTC)
Hi,
The source of escalation of violence is captured in the below article
"More than 150 homes, shops and vehicles were estimated to have been destroyed in riots on Monday and Tuesday, which were sparked at the weekend after a group of Muslim men in Digana town allegedly killed a Sinhalese man. Sri Lanka’s Sinhalese population makes up about three-quarters of the country’s total population.
Muslim-owned properties were attacked soon after the man’s funeral but the violence escalated after two hardline Buddhist monks with large social media followings and a history of inflammatory rhetoric arrived in Digana to negotiate the release of accused rioters.
When police refused, dozens of Muslim properties were set alight and a curfew was imposed in two towns in the district. On Tuesday morning the body of a 24-year-old man was pulled from one of the houses set on fire the previous day."

I believe everybody who followed the events of the riots know Amith Weerasinghe. It appears that he is the main figure behind the riots and has been arrested
http://www.sundaytimes.lk/article/1040371/main-suspect-in-kandy-violence-arrested
He is also called the mastermind of the riots and even international media has picked up his and his "Mahason Balakaya". I believe that this needs to be added to the article and as a major point. https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2018/03/sri-lanka-imposes-state-emergency-communal-violence-180306080251131.html http://www.colombopage.com/archive_18A/Mar08_1520518224CH.php

@ UMDP: Yes, you are exactly right, new reports state that 81 suspects have been arrested by the Sri Lankan police including the main suspect, Amith Jeevan Weerasinghe. I got to know this from a Tamil source. Abishe ( talk) 14:37, 8 March 2018 (UTC)
A shooting incident had held in the area of Kotahena leaving one dead and 2 others being hospitalised. I think this incident is related to the communal violences in the nation. But these incidents have been occurred in areas like Kotahena in the past and I suggest that this shooting incident may have been planned after the arrest of the main suspect who was the mastermind behind the anti-Muslim riots in Kandy. (I am not sure with this). Abishe ( talk) 03:09, 9 March 2018 (UTC)
Abishe, don't speculate. Stick to WP:RS and not to WP:OR. Cossde ( talk) 04:32, 10 March 2018 (UTC)
Muslims in Sri Lanka have always been welcome as part of the Sri Lankan community. However, an extremist Muslim minority is working towards damaging the peace among the people in Sri Lanka. This article is a good proof of their deeds. Turns everything that happens in Sri Lanka about anti-Muslim activities. Kotahena incident is pathetically linked to Amith Weerasinghe's arrest which everyone in Sri Lanka knows is a big lie. But the writers only need the sympathy of the out side world, making their bias (Muslims) look innocent.
This incident started when the Muslims killed a Sinhalese man. Why not mention that as the cause? Why not name the article as "Sinhala-Muslim clash"? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Upulwicrama ( talk • contribs) 06:38, 9 March 2018 (UTC)
@ Upulwicrama: Please don't make advantage by hurting others. This is a neutral place where editors very often discuss the issues in the talk pages of the article mainspaces in a friendly manner. No one is politically motivated in any case over here. I wanted to explain these stuff as you are a newcomer to Wikipedia but you have been doing some ugly things on this particular article. The communal violences are over now with the tense situation around the Kandy District have been controlled with imposing curfews at times and the article has been protected from spreading false information and rumours on this incident. The contents in the article have been written in a well organised manner with so much references to support the information. No one is permitted to write special notes in a biased way or advertise about this violence through this particular article unlike the social media networks. Note that, Wikipedia is not a social media and it is about knowledge website. On the other hand, I should note you that several editors have helped to improve the quality, reliability of this particular article apart from myself as a page creator. The real incident has been reported over here to the whole world unlike the false and fake news which have spread in social media daily. Yes, there were some mistakes and I accept my mistake in my controversial call about relating the Kotahena incident to the arrest of the main suspect, Amith Jeevan Weerasinghe who was the mastermind of the Kandy violence which was a foolish statement provided by myself in this talk page but I also mentioned it as a doubt rather than original research within the brackets. But apart from this, I didn't Insert any information to the article without providing proper sources. Please be nice towards other Wikipedians and I suggest you to contribute to the Wikipedia by doing constructive edits on other articles before making any attempt to edit the content in this article as you are not allowed to edit the content because the page has been protected from disruptive editing and you need to have at least more than 250+ constructive edits by spending 4 days to get the rights including the autoconfirmed and extendedconfirmed rights, so you can do constructive editing over here after some time. I hope you get it. Happy editing. Thanks. Abishe ( talk) 18:28, 10 March 2018 (UTC)
@ Rehman:, @ Jesuschristonacamel: Now it is the time to change this incident from the status of ongoing to closed. The curfew has been removed in the Kandy District and the situation has been under controlled by the forces, social media networks have also resumed to normal conditions. Foreign tourists have also started to visit Kandy District. Schools in the Kandy administrative district are also set to re-open on Monday. But I must ask you all when did this violence ended as I am confused to update the Infobox without knowing the actual date. Please help me out with this situation. Abishe ( talk) 15:14, 10 March 2018 (UTC)
@ Jesuschristonacamel: Thanks for your great work in updating the coverage of this article and you deserve a special mention and honour as you have assisted to improve the quality of the article. I think you should take a break for sometime after some serious arguments and issues about the communal violences over the last two weeks in this discussion page.

This is not only an anti muslim riot. Both groups attacked each other. Not only the muslims, buddhists too suffered from these riots. Pf194647 ( talk) 12:34, 12 March 2018 (UTC)
"Chicken wings" in opening paragraph I don't think is supposed to be there... ( 2804:D41:7EAD:DE00:5016:D92D:288A:FBE6 ( talk) 01:40, 13 March 2018 (UTC))
Hi,
There is an obvious mistake in the last sentence of the 5th paragraph in the "Kandy district" section.
This sentence erroneously states that "Many Muslim monks also visited Muslim churches during the Friday prayers in March 9th to express solidarity with Muslims.[26]", whereas the reference cited (aljazeera.com) writes about Buddhist monks visiting the mosques ("Muslim mosques" would also be better as "Muslim churches" in this sentence).
Additionnally, the very last sentence of the section ("Hundreds of Buddhists monks from the National Bhikku Front also launched a peaceful protest in Colombo accusing the rioters of destroying national unity.[26]") essentially repeats the same information and can be deleted or merged with the above-mentioned sentence.

mobs of Muslims attacked Buddhists Temples and Sinhalese citizens Shifan razick44 ( talk) 08:39, 24 March 2018 (UTC)
There is not enough credible evidence that 'mobs of Muslims attacked Buddhists Temples and Sinhalese citizens'
Please change the title, It's not like the Palestine-Israel conflict is called the Anti-Muslim war. So why is this treated differently? WikiHelper200 ( talk) 07:08, 8 June 2021 (UTC)
In May 2020 Facebook apologized for its role in the communal unrest that shook Sri Lanka. There was an investigation (note: I believe internal but, need to research more) that found that hate speech and rumors spread on FB may have led to violence against Muslims. I think this should be a subsection on this page. Big tech being involved should be noted. I will mark this page and come back to it when I have time. But, if anyone else wants to take this on-- that would be wonderful. MorganLMartinez ( talk) 21:04, 15 November 2022 (UTC)
