Tamil Eelam Article List
I have added a bunch of new articles to the project, and wish that you would update the little assessment box. Thanks, Oakley77 (talk) 12:24, 8 June 2012 (UTC)
- If you're referring to this assessment box, it has been updated. Regards Wiki Raja (talk) 18:54, 10 June 2012 (UTC)
Hey, thanks for your courtesy there.
I suggest the article regarding Tamil Eelam must be revamped a bit, considering it has fell out of place with a lot of omissions and improper priority.I think starting from there is a better idea.
For instance i would like to recommend some of the following topics to be included:
- Demographics by district(prior to the Civil war).
- A sub-title on Geographical features,flora and fauna etc., and important landmarks(churches etc.) with a few pictures.
- Then About the current political status, and administration prevailing(which shall help expose readers to Sinhala autocracy)
- Cross-border cultural links with Tamil Nadu and South India, and some thing on the current military crisis in the region.
Also i feel we can work on improving the History(Ancient and Medieval period) which could use with timelines and cultural patterns as it emerged before the imperial times.Also the Councils, Organistations and support features could do with some clean up.
Please help getting me started, i'd love your help in this regard.Thank you Cheers. :) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Taxiboy277 (talk • contribs) 12:23, 10 July 2012 (UTC)

Meet-up: Editors from Malaysia
Hello! You might or might not have seen me around here as I've not been active in Wikipedia the past few months. Before leaving for NS, it was my intention to form a Malaysian user group. I'm still very much interested in forming the group. However, before forming the group, I would love to organize a meet-up between editors of the Malaysian editing community to test the waters and hear what you guys might have to say. To my knowledge, there has not been a Wikipedia meet-up in this country before. I don't mind organizing the meet-up but need to know if anyone is interested in joining the meet-up. So... please reply and let me know if you would be interested in joining a meet-up and your ideas/thoughts about a user group. Thank you.
Looking forward to hearing from you, Bejinhantalks 12:25, 15 December 2012 (UTC) (Message delivered by EdwardsBot (talk) 12:25, 15 December 2012 (UTC))

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.
