Your edits to Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam

Hi, Ranilb5! I have reverted you recent edits to the article Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam, since they seem to biased. You had also removed some sourced information, and added unsourced info as well. Please note that Wikipedia articles must be neutral and should not be biased in any way towards or against one side. Also, information provided in the articles must be verifiable, preferably with reliable sources. I will explain the revert in the article talk page. If you think any information needs to be changed or added to the article, please discuss there. Cheers. Chamal ^talk 06:57, 15 February 2009 (UTC)

Speedy deletion of Offshore Technology Conference

A tag has been placed on Offshore Technology Conference, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be blatant advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an encyclopedia article. Please read the guidelines on spam as well as Wikipedia:FAQ/Business for more information.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you. RadioFan (talk) 23:48, 5 May 2009 (UTC)

Warn

Watch the tag-bombing. Discussing changes on talk page is more constructive. — Rlevse • Talk • 20:52, 25 August 2009 (UTC)

August 2009

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to make constructive contributions to Wikipedia, at least one of your recent edits, such as the one you made to Jaffna kingdom, did not appear to be constructive and has been reverted. Please use the sandbox for any test edits you would like to make, and read the welcome page to learn more about contributing constructively to this encyclopedia. Thank you. The Jaffna kingdom article has been assessed to be a good article by four separate Wiki Projects. This means the article has met a number strict criteria including being factually accurate. The article uses numerous books as sources - have you read any of them? Your overuse of the "citation needed" template in the introduction and infobox, corrupting the template, is nothing more than vandalism. obi2canibe^{talk contr} 16:55, 29 August 2009 (UTC)

File:Commemorative issue.jpg listed for deletion

An image or media file that you uploaded or altered, File:Commemorative issue.jpg, has been listed at Wikipedia:Files for deletion. Please see the discussion to see why this is (you may have to search for the title of the image to find its entry), if you are interested in it not being deleted. Thank you. ww2censor (talk) 17:54, 6 October 2009 (UTC)

As your stamp image was tagged as being unacceptable, you might like to offer an opinion about changing their guidelines for stamps such as yours which would be considered commemorative stamps. Any opinions on this issue could be very helpful: It's discussed here.]--Wikiwatcher1 (talk) 04:27, 7 October 2009 (UTC)
