This is Wikipedia. Please bare (this)in you mind when you edit here.Thanks Iwazaki ^{会話。討論} 06:18, 17 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Exactly. No need to bring up OR and weasel wording then Iwazaki. If you can provide reference saying that "This massacre happened when the ltte blew up the truck" (implying that the LTTE did this) rather than "Army shot students close range" you can add that to the article. Keep in mind that the former is added below and has no need to be in the main paragraph. Also I suggest you read

WP:NPA thank you Watchdogb 22:02, 17 June 2007 (UTC)[reply

Article says "Initially the Pro LTTE media put the blame on the government saying the army had entered the Thandikulam Agriculture Farm School, lined up the uniformed hostel students and shot at them blank range after the explosion[6] and later it was followed by the international media agencies and by the Sri Lanka Monitoring Mission.[2]". So it includes the SLMM's quote and everything. Thanks --♪♫ ĽąĦĩŘǔ ♫♪ ^{walkie-talkie} 17:58, 22 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Take a look at the lead in now ?Taprobanus 18:41, 22 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I would like to know two things regarding the last edits of yours.

1 I feel theres no need of citing the tamilnet.com link to back-up the Initially the Pro rebel LTTE media placed the blame... section because I gave the satp.org link with the intention of citing for that sentence.

SATP and Tamilnet both are potentially biased sources, so if SATP accuses the pro rebel media of alleging the massacre, we need pro rebel media to agree with it, otherwise it is simply one side of the story. This is according to what User: Llywrch said hereTaprobanus 13:24, 25 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

2 How about stopping the intro from [...] personnel in camouflage uniforms. ? I feel I have covered well, regarding those personnel in camouflage uniforms from the depth of the NPOV tone in /Allegations towards responsibility and regarding the investigation on /Investigation section. I'm sure the current intro will mislead the readers until they coming to the bottom of the article. --♪♫ ĽąĦĩŘǔ ♫♪ ^{walkie-talkie} 03:49, 23 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

From

lead section should briefly summarize the most important points covered in an article in such a way that it can stand on its own as a concise version of the article (e.g. when a related article gives a brief overview of the topic in question). It is even more important here than for the rest of the article that the text be accessible, and consideration should be given to creating interest in reading the whole article (see news style and summary style). The first sentence in the lead section should be a concise definition

of the topic unless that definition is implied by the title (such as 'History of …' and similar titles).” So what are the important facts of the article?

• Name of the article
• Date of the incident
• Number of deaths
• Who potentially killed them ?
• What is happened to the alleged killers ? Taprobanus 13:24, 25 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hmm shall we archive the discussion then ;-) --♪♫ ĽąĦĩŘǔ ♫♪ ^{walkie-talkie} 05:12, 26 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for writing a neutral article :)))Taprobanus 17:47, 26 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
