Give out reasons as to the tags ?RaveenS

Are you kidding? Only one source is cited (the one I added). Everything else is WP:OR. --snowolfD4^{( talk / @ )} 22:09, 22 September 2006 (UTC)

Hmm... there's a difference between original research and POV though - why add both tags? The article doesn't seem very POV.--217.43.47.189 11:29, 7 October 2006 (UTC)

Organized article

This article is not POV or Original reaserch, it is missing very important citations. I have put a fact tag on those sentences for the time beingRaveenS 22:35, 13 November 2006 (UTC)

Reference to LTTE being terrorist organisation

I have removed this for the second time. The LTTE is banned in many countries. But does this have to be stated in every article in Wikipedia which is in some convoluted way related them? Are the crimes committed by the Sri Lankan Government and Sri Lanka Armed Forces listed in the header section of every article that is in some way related to Sri Lanka? This is just petty propaganda which undermines the purpose of Wikipedia.Obi2canibe (talk) 13:38, 26 December 2008 (UTC)

Attempted deportation of M.K. Sivajilingam

I have removed this for the second time. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, not a news agency. The attempted deportation of Sivajilingam is a triviality when compared to many other things that have happened related to the TNA since its creation more than 7 years ago. So why add this to the article? And why in the header section? This, again, is just petty propaganda which undermines the purpose of Wikipedia.Obi2canibe (talk) 13:38, 26 December 2008 (UTC)

TNA is noted for its unreserved support of the LTTE which is banned as a terrorist organisation in 31 countries. Hence its claim for notability and therefore mention of it should be made in its article. Sivajilingam's deportation is noteworthy in itself, as a TNA member of parliment is facing deportation for attempting to solicit support for the banned LTTE in neighbouring india. Hence inclusion of both are valid.Kerr avon (talk) 21:16, 26 December 2008 (UTC)

Read WP:LEAD in Lead we put information in a summary format that is in the main body. Just adding this in the Lead is WP:UNDUE, add the pertinant information in the main body eloborate on it in a neutral way then add a line or two about thes in the Lead.Taprobanus (talk) 05:27, 27 December 2008 (UTC)

As an example I have fully developed the Murder of M.P's section and picked one sentence from it and moved it to the LEAD. If needed the LTTE connection has to be fully developed with RS sources and then one sentence could move to the LEAD. Taprobanus (talk) 07:16, 27 December 2008 (UTC)
