A tag has been placed on අනුජ requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a very short article providing little or no context to the reader. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.
If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hang on}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion, or "db", tag; if no such tag exists, then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hang-on tag is unnecessary), 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. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. Randeer (talk) 05:44, 30 ජූනි 2016 (යූටීසී)

The statement that Ravindu Navin had mended his copyright violation issues is wrong. Almost all his File uploads are still with copyright violations. I taught him how to upload film posters and pictures extracted from films. However he had not corrected even one of the uploads. As he was a very active editor, it is wrong to suggest that other editors can support and take the load off from him in correcting his mistakes. The only solution was for him to learn and correct them & prevent recurrence of mistakes. He had not done so after a heavy amount of opportunities that had been provided. The statement indicating that he had responded to his critics is also false. Actually he had sidelined or ignored the good suggestions by other users and showed certain arrogance. If we forget & pardon all his past wrong doing, now he is antagonizing other users with false allegations. When sufficient opportunity was provided for him to correct those issues, he responded with diabolical lies about these users. I suggest he is still not mature & stable for Wikipedia. Since admin Lee is on a wiki-break as indicated in his pages and as admin Singhalawap was absent continuously from wiki for 5 months and showed himself for a brief 5 days and absent again, I directly referred this matter to stewards as there are provisions to do so. Hence considering above I suggest we should pursue blocking this user please. --- Shwetha (talk) 01:14, 29 අගෝස්තු 2016 (යූටීසී)

I have informed the stewards too the reason for taking the question to them. It was justified by your behavior later. You were ignoring this matter even after visiting the Wikipedia. Then I had to refer the matter to stewards again. I do not think taking a matter to stewards is an offense. Both the administrators were not active. One was on leave. Other had not visited the wiki for three months. -The matter regarding "sudden abilities of L Manju" too was taken to stewards directly because of the same reasons ad they responded to that positively . -- Shwetha (talk) 17:29, 10 සැප්තැම්බර් 2016 (යූටීසී)

You have visited Sinhala Wikipedia today and have attended to protect a certain article against editing. I wish to draw your attention again to the request for temporarily blocking of Ravindu Navin ---- Shwetha (talk) 15:12, 19 ඔක්තෝබර් 2016 (යූටීසී)
Done for 1 week. If the community agrees I can change the duration. As I am busy these days I may not be promptly available. Singhalawap (talk) 15:57, 19 ඔක්තෝබර් 2016 (යූටීසී)
Thanks for imposing the temporary block. Since the original proposal by the user who requested this had been for at-least one month temporary block, I feel that extension of the block up to one month will be suitable. This one month will provide Ravindu Navin the opportunity to contemplate on his recent activities in Sinhala Wikipedia and try to rectify his unsuitable behavior to assure that it will not recur again please. ---- Shwetha (talk) 09:10, 20 ඔක්තෝබර් 2016 (යූටීසී)

I apologise for requesting you extention of the temprary block citing appearence of the same in the original request which is non existent. Hence I withdraw my request which was erroneously citing appearance of the same in the original request. ---- Shwetha (talk) 15:24, 20 ඔක්තෝබර් 2016 (යූටීසී)
Considering the severity of the behavior of Ravindu Navin during the period leading to his temprary block, I request you to extend the temporary block to one month. I request the comments of the community on this proposal please. තාවකාලික වාරණයට ලක් වීමට තුඩුදුන් අවස්ථාව දක්වා Ravindu Navinගේ ක්රියාකලාපයේ දැඩිබව සැලකිල්ලට ගෙන ඔහු වෙත මසක තාවතාලික වාරණයක් පනවන මෙන් ඉල්ලමි. මෙම යෝජනාව සඳහා ප්රජාවෙහි අදහස් පතමි. --- Shwetha (talk) 15:39, 20 ඔක්තෝබර් 2016 (යූටීසී)
We cannot accept extension of Temporary block to two weeks when community ideas have been sought for the proposal of extension of the block to one month. Even before 24 hours lapsed after the above proposal only after one response by an anonymous you as the administrator had extented the block upto 2 weeks. This is highly irregular. You can not just decide on the block period and act on your own when a community view is sought about the block period. I hereby request again the community to forward your views on this matter and tell the Sinhala Wikipedia whether Ravindu Navin should be blocked up to one month. If you think a fewer period is suitable if you think a longer period is suitable please suggest the same. L Manju had suggested that block policy should be read before deciding on the block period. More clarification on this suggestion is sought please. තාවකාලික වාරණය මසකට දිගු කිරීම යෝජනා කොට ඒ සඳහා බ්රජා අදහස් විමසා තිබියද ඔබ විසින් වාරණය සති දෙකකට දිගු කිරීම අප හට පිළිගත නොහැක. යෝජනාවෙන් පසුව පැය 24 ක් ගත වීමටද පෙර හා එක් නිර්නාමික පරිශීලකයෙක් පමණක් ප්රතිචාර දක්වා තිබියදී පරිපාලක වශයෙන් ඔබ විසින් වාරණය සති දෙකක් දක්වා දීර්ඝ කොට අත. මෙ අතිශයින් අවිධිමත් වෙයි. වාරණ කාල සීමාව පිළිබඳ ප්රජා අදහස් විමසා තිබියදී ඔබ හට වාරණ කාලසීමාව පිළිබඳ ස්වයං තීරණ ගත නොහැක.

Wiki Loves Women South Asia 2021 September 1 - September 30, 2021view details!
Wiki Loves Women South Asia is back with the 2021 edition. Join us to minify gender gaps and enrich Wikipedia with more diversity. Happening from 1 September - 30 September, Wiki Loves Women South Asia welcomes the articles created on gender gap theme. This year we will focus on women's empowerment and gender discrimination related topics.
We are proud to announce and invite you and your community to participate in the competition. You can learn more about the scope and the prizes at the project page.
You get this message because you are an admin on a Wikimedia wiki.
When someone edits a Wikimedia wiki without being logged in today, we show their IP address. As you may already know, we will not be able to do this in the future. This is a decision by the Wikimedia Foundation Legal department, because norms and regulations for privacy online have changed.
Instead of the IP we will show a masked identity. You as an admin will still be able to access the IP. There will also be a new user right for those who need to see the full IPs of unregistered users to fight vandalism, harassment and spam without being admins. Patrollers will also see part of the IP even without this user right. We are also working on better tools to help.
We have two suggested ways this identity could work. We would appreciate your feedback on which way you think would work best for you and your wiki, now and in the future. You can let us know on the talk page. You can write in your language. The suggestions were posted in October and we will decide after 17 January.
We are really glad to inform you that WikiConference India 2023 has been successfully funded and it will take place from 3 to 5 March 2023. The theme of the conference will be Strengthening the Bonds.
We also have exciting updates about the Program and Scholarships.
The applications for scholarships and program submissions are already open! You can find the form for scholarship here and for program you can go here.
For more information and regular updates please visit the Conference Meta page. If you have something in mind you can write on talk page.
‘‘‘Note’’’: Scholarship form and the Program submissions will be open from 11 November 2022, 00:00 IST and the last date to submit is 27 November 2022, 23:59 IST.
You may already know that the third iteration of WikiConference India is happening in March 2023. We have recently opened scholarship applications and session submissions for the program. As it is a huge conference, we will definitely need help with organizing. As you have been significantly involved in contributing to Wikimedia projects related to Indic languages, we wanted to reach out to you and see if you are interested in helping us. We have different teams that might interest you, such as communications, scholarships, programs, event management etc.
Thank you for supporting Wiki Conference India 2023. We are humbled by the number of applications we have received and hope to learn more about the work that you all have been doing to take the movement forward. In order to offer flexibility, we have recently extended our deadline for the Program and Scholarships submission- you can find all the details on our Meta Page.
COT is working hard to ensure we bring together a conference that is truly meaningful and impactful for our movement and one that brings us all together. With an intent to be inclusive and transparent in our process, we are committed to organizing community sessions at regular intervals for sharing updates and to offer an opportunity to the community for engagement and review. Following the same, we are hosting the first Open Community Call on the 3rd of December, 2022. We wish to use this space to discuss the progress and answer any questions, concerns or clarifications, about the conference and the Program/Scholarships.
