Speedy deletion nomination of Section 7 of 1841 of the Sri Lankan Vagrants Ordinance[edit]

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Section 7 of 1841 of the Sri Lankan Vagrants Ordinance requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be an unambiguous copyright infringement. This page appears to be a direct copy from https://www.lawnet.gov.lk/1949/12/31/vagrants-2/. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images taken from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites or other printed material as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If the external website or image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text or image — which means allowing other people to use it for any reason — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. The same holds if you are not the owner but have their permission. If you are not the owner and do not have permission, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission for how you may obtain it. You might want to look at Wikipedia's copyright policy for more details, or ask a question here.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

October 2018[edit]

Please do not add or change content, as you did at Cannabis, without citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Please refrain from further reversions; WP:3RR. Go to the Talk page to gain consensus, if a valid point is to be made. Zefr (talk) 23:21, 6 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to vandalize Wikipedia, as you did with this edit to Sexual minorities in Sri Lanka, you may be blocked from editing. Alex Cohn (let's chat!) 03:50, 28 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

TheFamousPeople.com as a source[edit]

Hi Hindianu. I noticed that you recently used thefamouspeople.com as a source in Social class in Sri Lanka. Please note that there is general consensus that thefamouspeople.com does not meet the reliable sourcing criteria for such information. (Discussions here and here). If you disagree, let's discuss it. Thanks. --Ronz (talk) 21:14, 14 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

no it's fine. I'll find another source as soon as possible and repost it. Hindianu (talk) 21:27, 14 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Ways to improve Lesbianism in Sri Lanka[edit]

Thanks for creating Lesbianism in Sri Lanka.

A New Page Patroller Rosguill just tagged the page as having some issues to fix, and wrote this note for you:

Good work, but the article needs a lead, and could also use more links to other Wikipedia articles to better integrate it into the encyclopedia.

The tags can be removed by you or another editor once the issues they mention are addressed. If you have questions, you can reply over here and ping me. Or, for broader editing help, you can talk to the volunteers at the Teahouse.

Delivered via the Page Curation tool, on behalf of the reviewer.
