Wikimedia Community User Group Sri Lanka

Dear Lbgc1, Thank you for your contributions to the Wikimedia Projects. As a Sri Lankan editor, you are warmly invited to join the official Wikimedia Community User Group Sri Lanka and to subscribe to its mailing list, Wikimedia-LK. The user group currently includes volunteers from Wikipedia and other projects, from the English, Sinhala, and Tamil speaking communities. It is the Wikimedia-approved platform for editors from Sri Lanka to enable wider collaboration, for both online and offline projects. With your support, we hope to organize cross-project content improvement drives as part of online projects, as well as organize in-person edit-a-thons, training sessions, photowalks, and other such activities, in the near future. The ultimate goal(s) of these initiatives is to improve the overall coverage and quality of topics relating to Sri Lanka, as well as encourage new editors to join the Wikimedia community, while simultaneously empowering and retaining our existing team of editors. There are no mandatory obligations for members who choose join the community, other than the usual editing rules for online projects, and the friendly space policy for in-person projects. You may also (or instead) subscribe to the mailing list, where any member could initiate discussions with volunteers across projects, notify members of events and meetings, stay up to date with competitions, organize your own events, and so on. See you on board, and Happy Editing!

Orphaned non-free image File:The crest of ((Trinity College, Kandy)), Sri Lanka.png

⚠

Thanks for uploading File:The crest of ((Trinity College, Kandy)), Sri Lanka.png. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 02:44, 27 September 2023 (UTC)

I have sent you a note about a page you started

Hi QEnigma. Thank you for your work on List of parliamentary elections in Sri Lanka. Another editor, MPGuy2824, has reviewed it as part of new pages patrol and left the following comment:

please add refs for the rows in the table too. the corresponding election articles would probably have atleast 1 good reference each.

To reply, leave a comment here and begin it with {{Re|MPGuy2824}}. (Message delivered via the Page Curation tool, on behalf of the reviewer.)

I have sent you a note about a page you started

Hi QEnigma. Thank you for your work on List of Polling divisions of Sri Lanka. Another editor, MPGuy2824, has reviewed it as part of new pages patrol and left the following comment:

It would be better to merge the table, at least within a province.

To reply, leave a comment here and begin it with {{Re|MPGuy2824}}. (Message delivered via the Page Curation tool, on behalf of the reviewer.)

-MPGuy2824 (talk) 16:50, 25 October 2024 (UTC)

@MPGuy2824: Thank you for your new pages patrol review and the comment on the merged tables. I will reconsider how to best implement a new layout to present the information more concisely. QEnigma (talk) 17:23, 25 October 2024 (UTC)

Rollback granted

Hi QEnigma. After reviewing your request, I have enabled rollback on your account. Please keep the following things in mind while using rollback:

• Being granted rollback is no more momentous than installing Twinkle or Ultraviolet. It just adds a [Rollback] button next to a page's latest live revision - that's all. It does not grant you any additional "status" on Wikipedia, nor does it change how Wikipedia policies apply to you.
• Rollback should be used to revert clear and unambiguous cases of vandalism only. Never use rollback to revert good faith edits.
• Rollback should never be used to edit war, and it should never be used in a content-related dispute to restore the page to your preferred revision. If rollback is abused or used for this purpose or any other inappropriate purpose, the rights will be revoked.
• Use common sense. If you're not sure about something, ask!

If you no longer want rollback, contact me and I'll remove it. Also, for some more information on how to use rollback, see Wikipedia:Administrators' guide/Rollback (even though you're not an admin). I'm sure you'll do great with rollback, but feel free to leave me a message on my talk page if you run into trouble or have any questions about appropriate/inappropriate use of rollback. Thank you for helping to reduce vandalism. Happy editing! Malinaccier (talk) 17:12, 31 October 2024 (UTC)

Another note: please make doubly sure that you are only using rollback in case of obvious vandalism. In a case like the one I asked about at requests for rollback, I would first be very hesitant to make a revert if you do not understand the context of the edit. Second, if you still decided to revert, I would make sure not to use rollback in an edge case. Instead, use undo or Twinkle to make sure you leave your own informative edit summary. Looking at your continued anti-vandalism work, I think you will do fine with rollback (hence granting the right), but I did want to emphasize this again. Malinaccier (talk) 17:17, 31 October 2024 (UTC)

Hello Malinaccier: I greatly appreciate your prompt response and for entrusting me with rollback rights. I am most obliged. My primary objective in applying for these rights is to more effectively address potentially disruptive mass-edit events, e.g., [1], [2], and [3]. I understand the responsibilities and limitations associated with this role and will exercise my best judgement in using these tools in accordance with Wikipedia guidelines and your advice. Thank you! QEnigma (talk) 06:25, 1 November 2024 (UTC)
