| Hi Sudharsansn, Let me know whats your plan of action. I guess there is a lot to be done. It would certainly be a good idea to protect the page, but that would also prevent anyone from editing except through the admins. ] 02:59, 4 October 2006 (UTC) | |||
| == vandalism == | |||
| However bad you may think the ] article is, sticking a speedy delete tag on it is not the right approach. It makes you the vandal and is liable to get you blocked. -- ] 01:29, 5 October 2006 (UTC) | |||
| :Dear Roger, you might want to go through the history of that page to understand what I literally mean, when I say 'vandalism'. Pls refer to ], the talk page and the article history and also the points being made there. | |||
| :While every effort is being made to ensure that the other version stays as it is, why is effort to balance this article, inspite of several edits being negated due to mass reverts? That's my whole point!! Why is a pro-Sinhala mafia thwarting every attempt to balance this article, inspite of several cited reasons behind Alred Durairaj, Child killer mentions, it always reverts back to the original Anti-Tamil, Pro-Sinhala version. I put up the vandalized tag to clearly suggest that every effort made to ensure NPOV is being negated. Any suggestions?? | |||
| :What do you think should be done about that article. Thanks for your mention ] 02:02, 5 October 2006 (UTC) | |||
| ==Just a Suggestion== | |||
| I've looked at some of your comments on LTTE related pages, and though I could not agree more with your overall message that there are some Pro-Sinhala and obviously biased statements in those pages, your posts in the talk pages are very emotional and border on all out flaming of that certain group. | |||
| So just a suggestion that you might want to reframe from calling them names because it depreciates your solid arguements about the article | |||

| You might want to see what is happening at the ] page. Your suggestions with regards to this content dispute would be helpful. ] 18:15, 6 October 2006 (UTC) | |||
| :: I have gone through and added citation need facts for anything that I felt needed a citation on the VP page. You might want to look at that as well. Already there is an effort to stop with some Mickey Mouse reasoning. ] 21:59, 6 October 2006 (UTC) | |||
| == Velupillai Prabhakaran == | |||
| As you can tell, I'm willing to go through with a hacket and cut it all out if necessary. I removed that whole sociological study that was the "cult of personality" section and will try to hack the rest down into a reasonable article. -- ] (]) 23:34, 6 October 2006 (UTC) | |||

| Hi Sudharsan, I got your e-mail. For information on creating a project, ] would really help. I would suggest you start ], and go from there. You can copy-paste the wiki-code from the ].

| ::Hi Sudharsansn, you will be suprised that I don't use any one of the instant messenger/icq type software. Nevertheless I would like to give you my email address but not make it public.

| I am not sure about this. I think this kind of project would divide editors on regional lines. ] would have been a more neutral project that would cover all kinds of topics, geography, history etc, not just focus on the ethnic conflict. Please comment on my ]. I check my messages here every day. - <font color="navy">] (])</font> 02:57, 8 October 2006 (UTC) | |||
| ::Hi Sudharsansn, I wanted to encourage you in your efforts to start the wiki project and you work on the VP page is already making a remarkable step forward. For most current and former people from Ceylon, it is the ethnic conflict that has largely dominated their lives for the better or worse and is the prime focus of attention. A campaign of misinformation and vandalism that has been going on has to be neutralized and exposed. We have to stand for facts period. Any news source or outlet that has been unaffected by the current press censorships moves in Sri Lanka on the ground is the target of attacks and lopsided arguments here in wikipedia. I do have to wonder if these attacks are more organized and coordinated effort of establishment entities. ] 04:43, 8 October 2006 (UTC) | |||
| Btw, I'll be glad to join the project. How do I go about doing it. :) ] 04:47, 8 October 2006 (UTC) | |||
| :I would call it ]. The best would be to put it as ], as a task force/work-group. In the end the name does not matter, as long as you have interested participants. Did you check out the newly created ]. All the best! - <font color="navy">] (])</font> 00:45, 9 October 2006 (UTC) | |||
