Your submission at Articles for creation: Senaka Rajapakse (December 9)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by Dan arndt was:

This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of people). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

The comment the reviewer left was:

Fails WP:ANYBIO - LinkedIn is not an acceptable or reliable source. The University of Colombo website is a primary source and therefore not independent.

Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit when they have been resolved.

The content of this submission includes material that does not meet Wikipedia's minimum standard for inline citations. Please cite your sources using footnotes. For instructions on how to do this, please see Referencing for beginners. Thank you.

The comment the reviewer left was:

Senaka does seem to meet notability criteria, however there are insufficient inline citations to verify the content of the article, and there are multiple weirdly formatted things that appear as links but don't link anywhere. See here: WP:INCITE for how to do this. Feel free to contact me when it's done and I can accept the article.

Discussion page editing

Hi. I had to fix a couple of problems with this edit that you made a few hours ago.

The important part was that you changed SineBot--> to SineBo, leaving off the trailing "HTML comment end" (-->). The next comment end was at the end of a post 8 sections down, so the effect was to hide those 8 sections from view.

Also, you changed the start of your post from "4th Rejection" to "4th Decline". The problem is that David notMD had already responded 5 hours earlier with ... it has been Declined, not Rejected ..., making him look silly.

We were all new here at some point, and wiki code can be difficult. The answer is to look carefully at your changes (with the "Show changes" button), and to use the "Show preview", button before clicking the "Publish changes" button. As to the second issue, this is why we don't edit posts on discussion pages (even our own posts) after someone else has responded (or even may have seen and is in the process of responding to). Instead, if you need to add or clarify something, there are ways to do that properly – see WP:REDACT. If you forget to sign your post (which we all do from time to time), just let the SineBot sign it for you – there's no need to try to sign it afterwards, which people usually end up doing wrong anyway.

File permission problem with File:Prof SR.jpeg

Thanks for uploading File:Prof SR.jpeg. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file has agreed to release it under the given license.

If you are the copyright holder for this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either

make a note permitting reuse under the CC-BY-SA or another acceptable free license (see this list) at the site of the original publication; or
Send an email from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-en@wikimedia.org, stating your ownership of the material and your intention to publish it under a free license. You can find a sample permission letter here. If you take this step, add {{permission pending}} to the file description page to prevent premature deletion.

If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to permissions-en@wikimedia.org.

If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:File copyright tags#Fair use, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See Wikipedia:File copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have provided evidence that their copyright owners have agreed to license their works under the tags you supplied, too. You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log. Files lacking evidence of permission may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described in section F11 of the criteria for speedy deletion. You may wish to read Wikipedia's image use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. --Minorax^«¦talk¦» 13:40, 10 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
