2nd AfD for Nadini Premadasa

Hi, I see that you have unsuccessfully tried to nominate this article for deletion for the second time. If you know that the article is not substantially different from the first incarnation, please feel free to nominate for speedy deletion (Db-g4). For now, I'll just try to fix the AfD for you.

Note: Please state why you nominated the article for deletion at the discussion page here. Jarkeld (talk) 19:43, 11 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I closed the AfD because the article was g4'd as I said above. It's a good option in these cases. Jarkeld (talk) 17:53, 12 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

There are still problems because you are reusing the original author's style and words. It is common because, we learn of the subject from the source. I will look into today. you are getting better, but still lots of work to be done. It would help, if you wrote down your points in sinhala and then retranslated them into english in your own words. (works for me). will do a rewrite later in the day.--Sodabottle (talk) 04:50, 8 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I'm afraid I have not got time actually to help re-write this article, and I don't think I would be good at it, but I can give you some ideas:
  • To avoid what you write being too close to the original sources, first read the sources carefully again, then go away and do something else for an hour or two, then write the article in your own words. After that, you can check it against the sources to make sure it is accurate, but if you make any changes then, be sure not to take actual sentences from the sources
  • Then you can ask for comments at WP:Requests for feedback. If you do that, explain that you are trying to avoid copyright problems.

Semi-protect. High level of IP vandalism. Wipeouting (talk) 17:28, 6 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Wipeouting, I see that you are persisting in adding your edit based on a self-published source. I have begun further discussion at Talk:Premakeerthi_de_Alwis#FAO User:Wipeouting, but would suggest you refrain from retrying your edit until consensus is reached. To continue with your insistent addition of this information could be construed as disruptive editing, a link you should read. Thanks, Bigger digger (talk) 15:56, 8 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

You have been indefinitely blocked from editing in accordance with Wikipedia's blocking policy for violating copyright policy by copying text or images into Wikipedia from other sources without verifying permission. You have been previously warned that this is against policy, but have persisted.

Please take this opportunity to be sure you understand our copyright policy and our policies regarding how to use non-free content.

I'm afraid that it seems you are unable to stop copying content onto Wikipedia. In a series of edits to King George Hall, Colombo over yesterday and today, for instance, you added the following text:

The University of Ceylon was established in July 1942. Its predecessor was the Ceylon University College (UC), about 20 years extant, affiliated to the University of London. The Chancellor of the was The Governor of Ceylon, and its first Vice- Chancellor was Dr. Ivor Jennings On the opposite side of Thurstan road were cited the Science and Arts Blocks, King George’s Hall, the main lecture hall and the cricket grounds.

This source says:

The University of Ceylon was established in July 1942. ...Its predecessor was the Ceylon University College (UC), about 20 years extant, affiliated to the University of London.... The Chancellor of the U of C was ex officio The Governor of Ceylon, and its first Vice- Chancellor was Dr. (late Sir), Ivor Jennings, a fortunate and laudable acquisition indeed...On the opposite side of Thurstan road were sited the Science and Arts Blocks, King George’s Hall, the main lecture hall and the cricket grounds....

It goes on.

Your contributions to that article have been deleted. Your other contributions will be evaluated for copyright concerns as well. Our copyright policies have been explained to you many times; I do not believe you should be permitted to continue editing without some very clear and plausible indication that you will follow these policies. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 23:00, 8 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
