Welcome!

Hello Nina, welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Our Introduction contains a lot of helpful material for new users - please check it out!

If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or place {{helpme}} on this page and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions.

I noticed you contributed to Sri Lanka related articles. I have become involved with Sri Lanka related articles when I took over the LTTE mediation case. (More info about why I took this mediation here.) Currently I'm busily trying to keep people from going overboard, by reminding them to remain civil, or having them blocked when they engage in edit wars. If you have any trouble from overeager editors, let me know. Happy editing! — Sebastian 11:00, 8 January 2007 (UTC)

We need also to address concerns with Kandyan Convention, which seems to be almost entirely pasted from [1], and Kandyan Treaty of 1638. The latter was copied from a 1929 book, and I am checking to verify if this is pubic domain. --Moonriddengirl ^(talk) 19:55, 24 September 2009 (UTC)
