Untitled[edit]

I am the author of this article "W.S.Karunaratne". This is the article that should be published. Due to misunderstanding of the instructions, I eneded up creating 2 articles with the same information with different names. Request to keep this article "W.S.Karunaratne" and delete "Prof. W.S. Karunaratne".

You should probably write down why he's important in the first paragraph, as that's what I came here looking for and couldn't find it. Thanks! 75.79.20.173 (talk) 22:10, 30 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

With sentences like "Academicians unanimously agree that he was a brilliant lecturer" it sounds like a hagiography. A more objective article might give Karunaratne the credibility he deserves. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 114.74.224.150 (talk) 13:01, 16 April 2010 (UTC) "Many of those who came in contact with W.S. for the first time felt immediately that they were in the presence of a great mind..." it is almost worth preserving the article as it is for a ludicrous example of how not to describe a respected academic. "...he was affectionately known by the masses... " who are the masses? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 114.74.231.39 (talk) 13:10, 16 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
