Wrong and irrelevant information[edit]

Is Mr.Jouni Suninen the head of the district office Vavuniya?

No he is the current (as of 2006/06/10) head of SLMM in Vavuniya please visit the site below. SLMM Vavuniya Branch.

I found the following details to be irrelevant to the topic and directly Cut and pasted from [1]

Therfore I removed the following from the article.

SLMM (Sri Lanka Monitoring Mission] runs an office in Vavuniya and a Point of Contact in Kilinochchi. Tamil and Sinhalese speaking interpreters are available during office hours in Vavuniya office and on call for emergencies after office hours.

Vavuniya District is populated mainly by Tamils (85%). Sinhalese and Muslims live isolated in small pockets but there is no tension between the ethnical groups in Vavuniya

(I) In order to be accessible: 1) Maintain District Office in Vavuniya. 2) Establish and maintain Point of Contact (POC) in Kilinochchi. 3) Patrol the Area of Resposibility (AOR). (See ANNEX B).

I have working experience in Vavuniya for many years and I still have many friends. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia please do not add what you believe. Virtually anybody publish anything on the internet however not everything can be considered as reliable source of reference. --Umapathy (உமாபதி) 16:12, 8 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I have removed the following sentances because of Lack of significant evidance. Some links to external websites looks like spam.

Its name is believed to be a modification of the ancient name "Vewu Nimava", or "the end of Water reservoirs in Sinhala. (Vaeva)"[2].

??? There is Tamil script on this template which translates to Vanakkam. It is right after the Malayalam script. Wiki Raja 20:54, 19 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thought you were talking about the template, until I realized it was the article. So I went ahead and added Tamil script. Wiki Raja 21:42, 19 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
