Please stop linking this article to the "Sri Lankan Tamil Society" stub. It is a factual error and the Sri Lankan Moors are not part of Tamil Society. Thank you

Good that you logged in. Next time sign your name too. I agree with your edit, the Tamil society doesnt have anything to do with Islam in SL. --Matt57 ^{(talk•contribs)} 22:09, 1 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, There is also another concern with user Lahiru K who is constantly adding and reverting unwanted material regarding Islamic Fundamentalism in Sri Lanka. The user has a tendency to post discriminatory articles against Sri Lankan Muslims. Please see that this person does not revert unwanted materials into this article.

I didn't add any unwanted material regarding Islamic Fundamentalism. I just revert the blanking from an IP. --♪♫ ĽąĦĩŘǔ ♫♪ ^{walkie-talkie} 10:33, 2 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Are Sri Lankan Moors shias or sunnis? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Wiltord (talk • contribs) 18:46, 3 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Sri Lankan Moors are predominantly Sunnis within the Shafi school of thought. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 130.63.71.144 (talk) 01:21, 6 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The language section contradicts the Alwi discussion immediately above; I'd suggest merging the former into the latter. Penalba2000 (talk) 23:38, 1 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Since this article deals with Islam in Sri Lanka, I suggest that a separate new page be created for the Sri Lankan Moor ethnic group. This page should just deal with the religious aspect rather than the ethnic aspect. For ethnicity, see the Sri Lankan Moors page. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.141.72.223 (talk) 20:26, 21 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Notable Muslims

A list of notable Sri Lankan Muslims can help expand this page. I know some muslim international cricketers who played for SL like Farvees Maharoof and Jehan Mubarak. Tilakratane Dilshan is also an ex muslim/half muslim. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 117.195.104.29 (talk) 08:08, 24 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Copy and Paste isn't allowed in Wikipedia

someone from this IP address 112.135.59.83 seems copy pasted. it was reverted back to the legit one. Gryphes (talk) 16:57, 15 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Orphaned references in Islam in Sri Lanka

I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Islam in Sri Lanka's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

Reference named "population":

From Sri Lankan Tamil people: Department of Census and Statistics of Sri Lanka. "Population by Ethnicity according to District" (PDF). statistics.gov.lk. Retrieved 3 May 2007.
From Tamil people: Department of Census and Statistics of Sri Lanka, Population by Ethnicity according to District (PDF), statistics.gov.lk, retrieved 3 May 2007

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT ⚡ 17:13, 25 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Claim that 50% of Sri Lankans are Muslims

I edited this page to remove the unsourced claim that 50% of Sri Lankans are Muslims. User:Wasifwasif has reverted my edit to reinsert the claim. I have just removed it again. I am not a Sri Lanka expert, but from what I know about the country, this is a facially false statement. If someone can prove me wrong by citing a reputable source, then please do. Until then, this claim should not appear in this article.

Blacklisted Links Found on the Main Page

Cyberbot II has detected that page contains external links that have either been globally or locally blacklisted. Links tend to be blacklisted because they have a history of being spammed, or are highly innappropriate for Wikipedia. This, however, doesn't necessarily mean it's spam, or not a good link. If the link is a good link, you may wish to request whitelisting by going to the request page for whitelisting. If you feel the link being caught by the blacklist is a false positive, or no longer needed on the blacklist, you may request the regex be removed or altered at the blacklist request page. If the link is blacklisted globally and you feel the above applies you may request to whitelist it using the before mentioned request page, or request it's removal, or alteration, at the request page on meta. When requesting whitelisting, be sure to supply the link to be whitelisted and wrap the link in nowiki tags. The whitelisting process can take its time so once a request has been filled out, you may set the invisible parameter on the tag to true. Please be aware that the bot will replace removed tags, and will remove misplaced tags regularly.

Below is a list of links that were found on the main page:

http://srilankanmuslims.vze.com
Triggered by \bvze\.com\b on the global blacklist

If you would like me to provide more information on the talk page, contact User:Cyberpower678 and ask him to program me with more info.

From your friendly hard working bot.—cyberbot II ^Notify_Online 17:11, 8 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Resolved This issue has been resolved, and I have therefore removed the tag, if not already done. No further action is necessary.—cyberbot II ^Notify_Online 18:28, 6 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Islam in South Asia

I like to add this template to this page but not sure what the problem is. This page is part of a series on Islam in South Asia. Please help! 65.95.136.96 (talk) 14:25, 4 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

So? What is your reason behind this? Saying, "Please help" is not going to help at all. (121.219.22.188 (talk) 08:24, 5 October 2017 (UTC))[reply]

Removing References to information debunked by science

Hi, I am removing information and references to out-dated and debunked sources that claim Moors are Tamil in ethnicity. I will cite sources to official announcements of this. This page has been repeatedly giving prominence to the debunked theories from Tamil scholars and those that reference these scholars which have been superseded by statements made my the Sri Lankan Moors and the Prof. Ruwan Illeperuma's genealogy studies. I can see the need for this has been mentioned on this talk page before.

Rewrite needed

Editors on this page are trying to supersede genetic evidence by spurious studies carried out in the colonial period. They are trying to preserve texts that are directly contradicted by genetics. This page needs more users.
