Thanks. I've proposed Deforestation in Sri Lanka for a DYK. Dr. Blofeld ^{White cat} 10:16, 22 April 2009 (UTC) Thanks. Well I'm considering starting an article on Tea production in Sri Lanka. I thinhk we could write an excellent article on the history of tea production and economy and that. Interested? I'd like to do a world series on tea production like I've done with coffee, rice and bananas! Dr. Blofeld ^{White cat} 13:27, 22 April 2009 (UTC) Excellent. Could you expand the Tea production in Sri Lanka into the article it deserves? I want to see a long detailed history and evaluation of it! I love tea! Dr. Blofeld ^{White cat} 13:39, 22 April 2009 (UTC) Cool. I'll let you write it as you are the expert from a Sri Lankan tea district! I'll help you out by compiling some web sources you can use in the talk page along with books you have. Dr. Blofeld ^{White cat} 13:43, 22 April 2009 (UTC)

I've compiled some sources at Talk:Tea production in Sri Lanka. Dr. Blofeld ^{White cat} 14:12, 22 April 2009 (UTC)

GA for starters. I would really love to work towards an FA with you. There is definately enough sources that could be used to write an excellent detailed article on this. I haven't got any FAs lined up at the moment but it would be good to have one article in the pipeline. If you compare the article as it is now compared to how it will look when we've finished it will feel like quite an achievement. I think it would be good to have a featured article on a topic like this for Sri Lanka but it will take a lot of work. Dr. Blofeld ^{White cat} 14:27, 22 April 2009 (UTC)

Good idea. Use this timeline to draw the bones up for the history. Then other sources can be used to flesh it out. Dr. Blofeld ^{White cat} 15:51, 22 April 2009 (UTC)

OK buddy i'll get cracking on the historu tonight Dr. Blofeld ^{White cat} 16:01, 22 April 2009 (UTC)

Definately don't need to cut sdown the history I haven't finsished writing it yet!! We want this article to be full and concise. Its the other sections that need to be fleshed out. Dr. Blofeld ^{White cat} 09:35, 23 April 2009 (UTC)

Happy with progress? Can you expand Aadara Hasuna it seems to have attracted a non notable assumption. Dr. Blofeld ^{White cat} 14:31, 26 April 2009 (UTC)

Um, I have no idea exactly why you feel that way, I find your tone a little bitter. If you feel you should mentioned at DYK I will co-list your name, i had no idea you felt left out. Dr. Blofeld ^{White cat} 14:56, 26 April 2009 (UTC)

I've added your name. PLease don't call me incivil again. If you really want to know the new system of listing DYk's has changed recently so I have never co-listed double names using the new syntax before. Dr. Blofeld ^{White cat} 15:05, 26 April 2009 (UTC)

I preferred the old system actually. People seme to be drawn to using templates on here. Sorry I didn't list your name first time as this article is supposed to be a collaboration I did it in a rush last night. Regards. Dr. Blofeld ^{White cat} 15:11, 26 April 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for the kind words and for the medal. I was hoping someone would notice and you did. Thanks again. Tiamut^talk 09:54, 27 April 2009 (UTC)

I suspect that English is not your mother tongue. I've made a lot of small edits to this page. I may have guessed wrongly at the meaning of some of the sentences, so please look at the article and fix any misunderstandings. Thanks. - Hordaland (talk) 23:01, 28 April 2009 (UTC)

Hi! Thanks so much for your friendly and very helpful advice about my submission for a DYN subject on Cooktownia. I was planning to expand the article anyway - so you have hurried me on my way (hopefully in time so that the DYK entry is not disqualified. I send you and your country (we have been thinking of you all daily recently and sending thoughts of peace and healing). Thanks again so much, John Hill (talk) 05:55, 2 June 2009 (UTC)

Wow your doing great work of late. Well done! Hey are you interested in helping get [these onto wikipedia? Dr. Blofeld ^{White cat} 14:50, 30 June 2009 (UTC)

Good luck! Dr. Blofeld ^{White cat} 08:08, 1 July 2009 (UTC)

Sorry to butt in, but I came to request something myself. Surprisingly Dr. Blofeld's request and mine are kind of related. I was thinking of creating a list of speakers of the parliament of Sri Lanka (full list here). This is something we can get to

WP:FL with a bit of work. As shown here, we have a grand total of 2 featured content (1 FA, 1 FL) . No need to say that the project is in desperate need of some more. But before we get to that, we need articles on all the individuals. I'm working on that now. I hope you would help with that, and later with the list too. Maybe Dr. Blofeld would like to join in too, since he already seems to working on the area? Chamal ^talk

Dravecky (talk) 11:56, 17 July 2009 (UTC)

Hello Mr.! Thanks for your kind words. Yeah I got bored of creating DYKs I have a lot of work to do at stub level at the moment on municipalities and towns so am unable to soend too much time on one article at present. I'll find 2 articles to create or expand soon enough but it probably won't be about Wales. I'll leave that up to User:Seth Whales. Dr. Blofeld ^{White cat} 09:03, 18 July 2009 (UTC)

Normally the use of non-English names is deprecated because articles can become like a polylingual dictionary. However, I think in a case like this, where the article is restricted to a single country, anyway it is a good idea to add the local names for the plants. I wouldn't do so for the animals because I think anyone whose English is good enough to read the article would know what was meant, but plants are less straightforward. I think your approach to doing this works well without introducing too much clutter. If I was reviewing this at GAN or FAC, I would have no qualms about your style for this. It is possible that someone might want to add the Tamil names, but that would still be readable. Keep up the good work Jimfbleak - talk to me? 12:27, 21 July 2009 (UTC)

BorgQueen (talk) 18:08, 26 July 2009 (UTC)

Hello Chanakal how have you been? Hey could you check out this users edits, he has been adding and removing information which seems to be with a racial intent on the articles related to the northern regions of Sri Lanka such as Northern Province, Sri Lanka ‎, Mannar District and others. I have told him to stop vandalising the page but he continues, and has used unreliable sources like this [1], he also seems to be a member of WikiProject Sri Lanka. I have also told him to explain his edits on the talk page before he edits the article, and it is turning into a edit war. Could you please tell this person to stop his vandalism and follow the proper wikipedia protocaol. Thanks Blackknight12 (talk) 06:41, 28 July 2009 (UTC)

...very much for your kind words. I have to tell you, my mother spent two years in Sri Lanka working when she was younger, and she speaks very fondly of her time there even now. Someday I should like to visit it for myself, I think. --User:Ser Amantio di Nicolao ^{Che dicono a Signa?}_{Lo dicono a Signa.} 13:47, 28 July 2009 (UTC)

She worked at a little Soviet-run sugar factory. I don't know the name, but it was a while back. --User:Ser Amantio di Nicolao ^{Che dicono a Signa?}_{Lo dicono a Signa.} 14:24, 28 July 2009 (UTC)

Thanks! Hope you are well!! Dr. Blofeld ^{White cat} 14:35, 28 July 2009 (UTC)

I surely will - I'll see if I can find out which it was. --User:Ser Amantio di Nicolao ^{Che dicono a Signa?}_{Lo dicono a Signa.} 14:40, 28 July 2009 (UTC)
