Hi, just saw your edit to the template. I don't know much about coding so wondered what the "state" parameter does. Thanks! – ukexpat ( talk) 16:33, 27 December 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for your comments on the recent discussion about transwikied articles on DYK. In particular, your efforts to defuse the situation. Cheers. Truthanado ( talk) 18:08, 28 December 2008 (UTC)
I wanted to clear up any confusion. My statement on translations is simply in regards to the idea that PD information can simply be copied and pasted and deemed as new, without any attempt to actually make something new. A real translation with real research and actual English sources is new, and not the PD dump that Gato seemed to support. Also, a real translation using real sources would be verifiable, where a simple copy and paste and keeping the same sources would not be. I hope that clears it up. Ottava Rima ( talk) 03:04, 29 December 2008 (UTC)
Thanks for your message, Chamal; I always appreciate having someone to help me put things in perspective, and you are a great contributor at DYK so your opinion is valued. But I have to say, I'm just sick and tired of this particular editor (I don't know if you were around a few weeks ago to see the last time he decided to single me out, badger me, and start threads about things such as "Politizer's deception") and I'm very tempted to just stop editing at DYK until he is topic-banned. I have been avoiding doing something that drastic because I don't want to punish DYK for someone else's behavior, but I'm starting to be unable to see any other solution.

Happy New Year! | ||
Hey there, Chamal N! Happy new
Gregorian year. All the best for the new year, both towards you and your family and friends too. I know that I am the only person lonely enough to be running this thing as the new year is ushered in, but meh, what are you going to do. I like to keep my templated messages in a satisfactorily melancholy tone. ;)
Congratulations to Coren, Wizardman, Vassyana, Carcharoth, Jayvdb, Casliber, Risker, Roger Davies, Cool Hand Luke and Rlevse, who were all appointed to the Arbitration Committee after the ArbCom elections. I am sure I am but a voice of many when I say I trust the aforementioned users to improve the committee, each in their own way, as listed within their respective election statements. Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm off to update the 2009 article, heh. |

If possible, I would like to see what changes i made to the page Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam. Obviously on this page there is issues with neutrality, and some information has been manipulated inorder to portray certain identities in a different light, varying from the reference provided.

Hiya.. not sure if you've noticed, but there's a new link on the tool called 'handle'. If you want to create a request, mark it as handled so nobody else takes it. Stwalkerster implemented this to get rid of collisions, and make sure people had time to look carefully at each request if they feel something is hinky without someone else creating it and causing issues.

Thank you for helping watch the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam article - we're indeed overwhelmed there and are currently discussing at WT:SLR how to keep the flurry of unhelpful edits there under control. That said, the edits were not vandalism, they were just edits by a newbie who didn't know where to put the links to information they felt was pertinent. As Wikipedia, we want to draw such people into our project, so I wrote a clarification on User talk:Japanboy1232000. Hope to see you around! — Sebastian 20:52, 6 January 2009 (UTC)

Hello Chamal N, I am a member of WikiProject Sri Lanka and I edit articles on the History of Sri Lanka. Currently I have been working on the article List of monarchs of Sri Lanka and have been creating and editing articles of kings and queens of Sri Lanka. I came across the articles you have created on Sri Lankan kings Dhatusena of Sri Lanka, Kashyapa I of Sri Lanka and Mahasena of Sri Lanka which are all articles of great quality. Because of your experience and quality of editing I want you to help me complete the the section of monarchs of Sri Lanka, in the topic of the history of Sri Lanka, by creating more articles of monarchs of Sri Lanka on the listed article of List of monarchs of Sri Lanka and further improving the articles that have been already created. With your help we can educate Sri Lankans and others of the completed history of the monarchs of Sri Lanka. I would very much like you to do this when you have time so please reply soon. Oh and if you wouldn't mind can you also contribute to 2009 in Sri Lanka, thanks Blackknight12 ( talk) and have a Happy new year. 08:14, 23 January 2009 (UTC)
I'm not worrying about being a sockpuppet. I saw snowfire post on the talk page and misread. I then saw on Snowfire's talkpage '...I'm Ivy...' which I saw as could be a mistype. v and c are next to each other. I then went to Icy because of that. I only mentioned sockpuppet because Snowfire came back so harshly and I thought that she was friends with Pagan GRL. Thank you for clearing this up. Chubb enna itor 13:06, 24 January 2009 (UTC)
that would work... usually, but i am in placement right now and they dont let us check our email... *Sigh* thanks any way :)

Chamal, thanks for suggesting. Now that the war is coming to an end we can go back to writing an encyclopedia for what ever it is worth but like I told a recent SLR member two years ago, this is an addiction (not that I am immune to it) and it can consume u if you don’t take breaks like you are doing now although I have managed to keep my day job, my wife not divorcing me and my kids still call me pappa while whiling away in Wikipedia I sometimes do think about all the potential that I may have not fulfilled because of all this. Just keep the focus on real life. Taprobanus ( talk) 18:10, 26 January 2009 (UTC)

Chamal N, the editor you are, has been nominated for deletion. We appreciate your contributions. However, an editor does not feel that you satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in the nomination space. Your opinions on yourself are welcome; please participate in the discussion by adding your comments at User:GlassCobra/Editor for deletion#Chamal N and please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~). You are free to edit during the discussion but should not remove the nomination (unless you wish not to participate); such removal will not end the deletion discussion (actually it will). Thank you, and have a good sense of humor :). — La Pianista ( T• C) 06:45, 30 January 2009 (UTC)

Hey, Chamal. After you've gotten over the shock of finding a friend betray you and feed you to da monstahs (;D) I've got a question to ask. Would it be considered cheating to write an article in your sandbox, polish it over the course of several months, then debut it in the mainspace and get a DYK for it? — La Pianista ( T• C) 05:26, 31 January 2009 (UTC)
My RFA passed today at 150/48/6.

Hi,
I've been working, somewhat at Gatoclass's behest, to develop a new version of {{DYKsug}} that doesn't leave so much junk on the nominations page (partly just to be tidier, partly to reduce the page's byte count and, hopefully, its load time). The new template is complete and located at {{
NewDYKnomination}} ({{
NewDYKnom}} also works). It is used in almost the exact same way as the current template (the only difference being that |creator=
and |expander=
have been merged into a single |writer=
parameter, since there seems to have been confusion in the past about the difference between these two); there is more discussion of the new template at
Wikipedia talk:Did you know/Archive 39#New template for nominations--please provide feedback if you have a moment and
Wikipedia talk:Did you know/Archive 39#Working on a better nomination template.
Since you do a lot of work vetting nominations, you are one of the people who will be most affected by the template change (although the effect shouldn't be very big...the main difference is just that this template is less complicated and the format will look a bit different), so I am hoping to hear your thoughts before I go ahead with making the switch from the current system to this one. Here is an example of what the template generates (and here is what it looks like in the edit window).
Thank you, Politizer talk/ contribs 15:11, 1 February 2009 (UTC)

For ... well, all of the work you do here.

As Wikipedia, we want to draw such people into our project, so I wrote a clarification on User talk:Japanboy1232000. Hope to see you around! — Sebastian 20:52, 6 January 2009 (UTC)

I have archived Wikipedia:Featured list candidates/List of Presidents of India per your withdrawal request. Please do not remove the FLC template from the talk page, per WP:FLC/ar, as it will cause GimmeBot to stall. Many thanks, Rambo's Revenge (talk) 14:25, 11 January 2009 (UTC)
Thanks for the message. Lasantha Wickramatunge is the correct name, and not Lasantha Wickramatunga. See the official obituary notice: http://www.dailynews.lk/2009/01/12/main_Obituaries.asp, and Sunday Leader New Items, eg: http://www.thesundayleader.lk/20090111/NEWS.HTM. -- Kanags ( talk) 11:57, 12 January 2009 (UTC)

I am going to create a DYK quality article on the above Sinhala Budhist deity as part of a series on improving Aiyanar and Shasta. There are number of prominent shrines even within Buddhist Viharas of this deity North of Colombo all the way to Puttalam. Isit possible to get a picture of one of them ?

Thanks, I guess I've always felt that if I'm not making mistakes, I'm not trying hard enough ... LOL. Thanks for info on backlog too. Live and learn.

Hello Chamal N, I am a member of WikiProject Sri Lanka and I edit articles on the History of Sri Lanka. Currently I have been working on the article List of monarchs of Sri Lanka and have been creating and editing articles of kings and queens of Sri Lanka. I came across the articles you have created on Sri Lankan kings Dhatusena of Sri Lanka, Kashyapa I of Sri Lanka and Mahasena of Sri Lanka which are all articles of great quality. Because of your experience and quality of editing I want you to help me complete the the section of monarchs of Sri Lanka, in the topic of the history of Sri Lanka, by creating more articles of monarchs of Sri Lanka on the listed article of List of monarchs of Sri Lanka and further improving the articles that have been already created. With your help we can educate Sri Lankans and others of the completed history of the monarchs of Sri Lanka. I would very much like you to do this when you have time so please reply soon. Oh and if you wouldn't mind can you also contribute to 2009 in Sri Lanka, thanks Blackknight12 ( talk) and have a Happy new year. 08:14, 23 January 2009 (UTC)
I'm not worrying about being a sockpuppet. I saw snowfire post on the talk page and misread. I then saw on Snowfire's talkpage '...I'm Ivy...' which I saw as could be a mistype. v and c are next to each other. I then went to Icy because of that. I only mentioned sockpuppet because Snowfire came back so harshly and I thought that she was friends with Pagan GRL. Thank you for clearing this up. Chubb enna itor 13:06, 24 January 2009 (UTC)
that would work... usually, but i am in placement right now and they dont let us check our email... *Sigh* thanks any way :)

Hello Chamal, I created a userbox Template:User Sinhalese. Because Sinhalese hadn't one. Hope you add it and also give me a thought on where to put it to draw the attention of other users. I got the feeling WikiProject Sri Lanka ain't a good place. Regards! -- Chanaka L ( talk) 12:38, 26 January 2009 (UTC)

Chamal, thanks for suggesting. Now that the war is coming to an end we can go back to writing an encyclopedia for what ever it is worth but like I told a recent SLR member two years ago, this is an addiction (not that I am immune to it) and it can consume u if you don’t take breaks like you are doing now although I have managed to keep my day job, my wife not divorcing me and my kids still call me pappa while whiling away in Wikipedia I sometimes do think about all the potential that I may have not fulfilled because of all this. Just keep the focus on real life. Taprobanus ( talk) 18:10, 26 January 2009 (UTC)
Hi! I noticed that you have reserved a closed request [2]. I'm not sure if this is intentional or not, but if this was unintentional, you might want to unreserve this request.
Thanks, Stwalkerster [ talk ] 21:52, 28 January 2009 (UTC)
Chamal N, the editor you are, has been nominated for deletion. We appreciate your contributions. However, an editor does not feel that you satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in the nomination space. Your opinions on yourself are welcome; please participate in the discussion by adding your comments at User:GlassCobra/Editor for deletion#Chamal N and please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~). You are free to edit during the discussion but should not remove the nomination (unless you wish not to participate); such removal will not end the deletion discussion (actually it will). Thank you, and have a good sense of humor :). — La Pianista ( T• C) 06:45, 30 January 2009 (UTC)
Thank you very much for your kind words! Kirill 01:47, 31 January 2009 (UTC)
Hey, Chamal. After you've gotten over the shock of finding a friend betray you and feed you to da monstahs (;D) I've got a question to ask. Would it be considered cheating to write an article in your sandbox, polish it over the course of several months, then debut it in the mainspace and get a DYK for it? — La Pianista ( T• C) 05:26, 31 January 2009 (UTC)
My RFA passed today at 150/48/6. I wanted to thank you for weighing in, and I wanted to let you know I appreciated all of the comments, advice, criticism, and seriously took it all to heart this past week. I'll do my absolute best to not let any of you down with the incredible trust given me today. rootology ( C)( T) 07:46, 1 February 2009 (UTC) |
Hi,
I've been working, somewhat at Gatoclass's behest, to develop a new version of {{DYKsug}} that doesn't leave so much junk on the nominations page (partly just to be tidier, partly to reduce the page's byte count and, hopefully, its load time). The new template is complete and located at {{
NewDYKnomination}} ({{
NewDYKnom}} also works). It is used in almost the exact same way as the current template (the only difference being that |creator=
and |expander=
have been merged into a single |writer=
parameter, since there seems to have been confusion in the past about the difference between these two); there is more discussion of the new template at
Wikipedia talk:Did you know/Archive 39#New template for nominations--please provide feedback if you have a moment and
Wikipedia talk:Did you know/Archive 39#Working on a better nomination template.
Since you do a lot of work vetting nominations, you are one of the people who will be most affected by the template change (although the effect shouldn't be very big...the main difference is just that this template is less complicated and the format will look a bit different), so I am hoping to hear your thoughts before I go ahead with making the switch from the current system to this one. Here is an example of what the template generates (and here is what it looks like in the edit window).
Thank you, Politizer talk/ contribs 15:11, 1 February 2009 (UTC)

For ... well, all of the work you do here. You do great work at T:DYK, but you also work on complicated and contentious Sri Lankan-related stuff and somehow manage to come out with a great NPOV articles.... thanks for all of your hard work here, friend - it is greatly appreciated. — Ed 17 (Talk / Contribs) 19:42, 1 February 2009 (UTC) |
