Hello!!

Hello, its good to see a Hindu from our neighbouring country...otherwise Hindu meant only Indian :-) Welcome!! Rohitbd 10:13, 17 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Don't think that hidus only live in India. I'm a native Sri Lankan but I'm a Hindu, Most of the Sri lankan Tamils are hindus but most the sinhalees are budist not hindus. TC :--Mayooresan 10:19, 17 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Oh I didn't mean that Hindus live only in India - just that we as a community are the least spread across the world...and if I come across a Hindu, he/she is almost always Indian (or the occassional NRI/foreigner of Indian origin)...Indeed, if you look at the Category:Hindu Wikipedians, most are either Indians or NRIs or PIOs or of Indian origin. Rohitbd 10:31, 17 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah I agree with you Anyway nice to meet you too :-) --Mayooresan 10:34, 17 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Scouting article work

If you are getting this, it is because you do or did work on Scouting articles (see Wikipedia:WikiProject_Scouting#Participants_and_primary_areas_of_interest).

As the Scouting WikiProject has been formed since early January 2006, we've had many great improvements made in this area of Wiki and I want to personally thank everyone for their help. We don't always agree on things, but we keep moving forward. YIS, Rlevse 22:09, 25 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Sinhala writing

Vanakkam Mayooresan! You seem to know a lot about rendering Tamil letters in WP. Do you know how to render Sinhala script as well? I would greatly appreciate your help on this. Thanks in anticipation, Krankman 23:16, 21 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Sinhala language

Hi Mayooreesan!

(I still haven't figured out how to render Sinhala script. But that's not the problem at the moment.) User:Pjacobi recommended you to me in this matter. I know that since you are Tamil your position in this question is a little difficult, yet I am kindly asking you to watch this page. I made major adjustments that may cause some upstir which I fear might come from less qualified people and might be politically/ethnically motivated. I'd be happy if you could look at the discussion to find out about the history of the article. And support me (if you see fit and it doesn't undermine my argument) if necessary.

Thanks a lot, Krankman 21:28, 7 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I'll try my best to support that article. since I don't have a backround of Sinhala language I won't be able to support as you wish. Any how I'll try my best... Thanks --Mayooresan 06:18, 21 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks

Mayooresan, thanks for the edit to Soman's template. I've made a small change so that the suffix doesn't stand isolated. -- Sundar ^{\talk \contribs} 10:16, 31 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Orphaned non-free media (Image:Kelaniya.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:Kelaniya.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 12:49, 3 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

File source problem with File:Mayooresan1.jpg

Thank you for uploading File:Mayooresan1.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, please add a link to the page from which it was taken, together with a brief restatement of the website's terms of use of its content. If the original copyright holder is a party unaffiliated with the website, that author should also be credited. Please add this information by editing the image description page.

If the necessary information is not added within the next days, the image will be deleted. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem.

Please refer to the image use policy to learn what images you can or cannot upload on Wikipedia. Please also check any other files you have uploaded to make sure they are correctly tagged.

Article upgrade assistance request (Pre-translation stage)

Seasons Greetings,

This is in reference to a relatively new umbrella article on en-wikipedia named Ceremonial pole. Ceremonial pole is a human tradition since ancient times; either existed in past at some point of time, or still exists in some cultures across global continents from north to south & from east to west. Ceremonial poles are used to symbolize a variety of concepts in several different world cultures.

Through article Ceremonial pole we intend to take encyclopedic note of cultural aspects and festive celebrations around Ceremonial pole as an umbrella article and want to have historical, mythological, anthropological aspects, reverence or worships wherever concerned as a small part.

While Ceremonial poles have a long past and strong presence but usually less discussed subject. Even before we seek translation of this article in global languages, we need to have more encyclopedic information/input about Ceremonial poles from all global cultures and languages. And we seek your assistance in the same.

Since other contributors to the article are insisting for reliable sources and Standard native english; If your contributions get deleted (for some reason like linguistics or may be your information is reliable but unfortunately dosent match expectations of other editors) , please do list the same on Talk:Ceremonial pole page so that other wikipedians may help improve by interlanguage collaborations, and/or some other language wikipedias may be interested in giving more importance to reliablity of information over other factors on their respective wikipedia.

This particular request is being made to you since your user name is listed in Wikipedia:Translators available list.

Thanking you with warm regards Mahitgar (talk) 06:13, 24 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Wikimedia Community User Group Sri Lanka

Dear Mayooresan,

Thank you for your contributions to the Wikimedia Projects. As a Sri Lankan editor, you are warmly invited to join the official Wikimedia Community User Group Sri Lanka and to subscribe to its mailing list, Wikimedia-LK.

The user group currently includes volunteers from Wikipedia and other projects, from the English, Sinhala, and Tamil speaking communities. It is the Wikimedia-approved platform for editors from Sri Lanka to enable wider collaboration, for both online and offline projects.

With your support, we hope to organize cross-project content improvement drives as part of online projects, as well as organize in-person edit-a-thons, training sessions, photowalks, and other such activities, in the near future. The ultimate goal(s) of these initiatives is to improve the overall coverage and quality of topics relating to Sri Lanka, as well as encourage new editors to join the Wikimedia community, while simultaneously empowering and retaining our existing team of editors.

There are no mandatory obligations for members who choose join the community, other than the usual editing rules for online projects, and the friendly space policy for in-person projects. You may also (or instead) subscribe to the mailing list, where any member could initiate discussions with volunteers across projects, notify members of events and meetings, stay up to date with competitions, organize your own events, and so on.

See you on board, and Happy Editing!
