Hello, I closed the AfD on this, and decided along the way to remove all the edits that related to the cut+paste sort-of move that was done. However, on closer inspection, it seems that we could potentially merge the edits in Colombo Racecourse that occurred after the c+p move into the edit history of Colombo Racecourse Airstrip since the latter was not edited in the meantime, save for administrative edits that we can remove. What do you think? Temporarily, I'm going to protect Colombo Racecourse Airstrip to prevent further potential problems. Splash - tk 22:47, 4 November 2012 (UTC)
- Thanks for encouraging further comment. My suggestion would be that we now rename Colombo Racecourse Airstrip to Colombo Racecourse to maintain the older edit history. We can then create a section (called Airstrip) in the new article that covers the temporary WW2 airstrip. Colombo Racecourse Airstrip should be retained as a redirect to the new title. Any merger of content/history would also be fine, I think, given new sections will need to be created anyway. We probably need a good summary on the article talk page so that future editors understand what happened with the AFD, renaming, reconstruction, etc. Stalwart111 (talk) 23:06, 4 November 2012 (UTC)
- Yes I agree - we should merge the edit history that took place after the c&p and then rename Colombo Racecourse Airstrip as Colombo Racecourse. Thank you both for your help.--obi2canibetalk contr 18:59, 5 November 2012 (UTC)
Thank you both. I've now done as suggested above, leaving all the administrative edits deleted as they would have produced overlapping edit histories to no purpose. However, I made a bit of a mess of the selective deletion/restoration required for this, so the logs for the articles are more complex than they should or need to be. Things are correct, nevertheless, I believe. I've put a note on Talk:Colombo Racecourse noting this, and the AfD, but I think it's not appropriate to put an {{oldafd}} there. Finally, I unprotected the now-redirected Colombo Racecourse Airstrip. Splash - tk 22:24, 5 November 2012 (UTC)
- Looking good. A great collaborative result! Great work. Stalwart111 (talk) 07:52, 6 November 2012 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for November 19
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Ann Barnes (police commissioner), you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Tweet (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Vandalism
Forgetting about the Indian Tamils is not vandalism. I don't need your improper accusations. Thanks. CaptainPrimo (talk) 20:53, 5 January 2013 (UTC)
- Really? You forgot about 800,000 Tamils? Twice? Are you that anti-Tamil?--obi2canibetalk contr 16:30, 6 January 2013 (UTC)
Sri Lankan Civil War
Hello. You undo my contributions! What was your source? Talk to me before undoing anything. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Shah-E-Zaman (talk • contribs) 05:59, 9 January 2013 (UTC)
- As I stated on the edit summary, the content you added was not supported by references you gave. You stated "Tamil authories' Xenophobic behavior towards Muslims made it easy for Pakistan to choose the side of Sri Lankan Government" and supported this with a NYT article. The NYT article was about the massacre of Muslims by the LTTE, it had nothing about the Tamil authorities' xenophobic behaviour. You need to find a reference which explicitly supports your assertion that Tamil authorities' xenophobic behaviour led to Pakistani involvement in Sri Lanka. You stated that "In April 2009, Sri Lanka requested $25 million worth of 81 mm, 120 mm and 130 mm mortar ammunition to be delivered within a month" and supported this with a Wikipedia article. Wikipedia is not a reliable source, you will need to find a reliable source to support your assertion.
- I have no doubt that Pakistan supported Sri Lanka during the civil war but you will have to find reliable sources to back you up.--obi2canibetalk contr 21:35, 13 January 2013 (UTC)

Ethnic conflict in Sri LankaJust a quick note that I'm about to be mostly off of WP for about a week, so if you need administrative eyes, you'll have to seek other help; if the edit warring continues, consider either asking for page protection or other help.

The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media 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 media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

WikiProject Tamil Eelam TemplateI've just made a duplicate of the WPTE Template with the following title:Template:User WP Tamil Eelam and added them both to the Category:Regional WikiProject user templates. I feel the older one can redirect to this and for that I feel I should have someone of your own's opinion, what's your take?I don't intend to disturb the Project by going on with the move.Or if you probably think its not broken to fix, I'd be glad to delete the other one then.Thank you.

Have an Enjoyable New Year !!!
Factual issues in Sri Lankan Tamils, Jaffna Kingdom pagesI went to above pages. Most of the things are factual issues. Most of the things are in the resources talking about Tamils. But references are not clearly pointing to Sri Lankan Tamils. As you know there are several Tamil ethnics in SL. So you better use your time to improve that document. Otherwise I will have to check where SL Tamils not linked and remove them. --Himesh84 (talk) 08:31, 29 April 2013 (UTC) Jaffna subrbsJaffna I have reverted your list of suburbs from the Jaffna article for the second time. It is necessary and it doesn't take up much space. The claims for its removal are ambiguous and ill-defined. It's quite appropriate to make acknowledgement of suburbs in a Wikipedia city article. It's quite a common sense inclusion of data. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Psef2234 (talk • contribs) 09:56, 29 April 2013 (UTC)
