Hello, I'm BracketBot. I have automatically detected that your edit to Open University of Sri Lanka may have broken the syntax by modifying 1 "[]"s and 1 "{}"s likely mistaking one for another. If you have, don't worry, just edit the page again to fix it. If I misunderstood what happened, or if you have any questions, you can leave a message on my operator's talk page.

List of unpaired brackets remaining on the page:

* Jaffna Regional Center ( JRC ) - [[Kokuvil]], [[Jaffna}]

October 2013

Thank you for your contributions. Please mark your edits, such as your recent edits to Asian golden cat ‎, as "minor" only if they are minor edits. In accordance with Help:Minor edit, a minor edit is one that the editor believes requires no review and could never be the subject of a dispute. Minor edits consist of things such as typographical corrections, formatting changes or rearrangement of text without modification of content. Additionally, the reversion of clear-cut vandalism and test edits may be labeled "minor". Thank you. AdventurousSquirrel (talk) 08:59, 30 October 2013 (UTC)

Kaludiya Pokuna Forest

This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Kaludiya Pokuna Forest, and it appears to include material copied directly from http://sharmini-serasinghe.blogspot.com/2011/04/kaludiya-pokuna-in-kandalama.html.

It is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article. The article will be reviewed to determine if there are any copyright issues.

If substantial content is duplicated and it is not public domain or available under a compatible license, it will be deleted. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material. You may use such publications as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. See our copyright policy for further details.
