Cleanup[edit]

I've noticed a lot of small mistakes with grammer and spelling and such, so I added the cleanup tag. Am just going to go through it and fix what I can spot now. Kaotac (talk) 19:23, 29 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Wow.. This is too much for me. This article has some major problems and it's beyond me how to go about fixing them. Kaotac (talk) 20:19, 29 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Is it really true that there were no Sinhala Buddhists at all in the army at the time! There is no verification of major claims, especially the Christian connection. Serendipitous1 (talk) 06:44, 20 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I'm going to start trying a grammar cleanup on this page, it'll be a slow process though. Master Runner (^Talk/_Contribs) 05:30, 26 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Treason[edit]

Planning a coup, even if it had not started, is treason. To say that "Since no shots were fired and no troops deployed, the conspirators couldn't be charged" is simply false.101.98.152.235 (talk) 06:16, 9 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
