Dear Vishvax, Just a note to say personal questions regarding scrying should be posted on a userpage like my talkpage or in a forum especially for occult discussions, not on Wikipedia article pages. However, just this once in answer to your question, most people I know prefer 'Natural Crystal' as the imperfections add to the overall experience. Best wishes - Solar 12:24, 2 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Ok... I'll never do that again. Sorry. Is this the "my talkpage" I'm not sure...
Shall I remove that piece of article I put there...

Howdy, I wanted to let you know I removed a section you added to the Crystal power article. My feeling is that it is original research, but I discussed the removal more fully on the talk page of the article, Talk:Crystal power. Feel free to discuss the removal there if you like. If I can help with anything, by all means feel free to write a note on my talk page User_talk:TeaDrinker. Best, --TeaDrinker 03:11, 22 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Image copyright problem with Image:Moratuwa.JPG[edit]
Image Copyright problem
Thank you for uploading Image:Moratuwa.JPG. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright status. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously. It may be deleted soon, unless we can determine the license and the source of the image. If you know this information, then you can add a copyright tag to the image description page.
If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thanks again for your cooperation. NOTE: once you correct this, please remove the tag from the image's page. STBotI 16:43, 12 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for uploading Image:Moratuwa.JPG. I noticed the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed image could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:
If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use criteria. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that fair use images which could be replaced by free-licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if not used in an article), per our Fair Use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. VegitaU 20:39, 14 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Hello there, thank you for the additions you made. I'm afraid to say I'm a bit worried about them because they contained no citations to any published sources, which may mean that people will simply revert them. I think the problem is that Wicca is more a religion of practice than belief, so agreeing on 'What Wiccans believe' is probably going to be difficult! I've posted something on the article's talk page if you would like to see how the discussion goes. Kim Dent-Brown(Talk to me) 10:58, 13 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Hi there. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. On many keyboards, the tilde is entered by holding the Shift key, and pressing the key with the tilde pictured. You may also click on the signature button located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your name and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when. Thank you! --SineBot 19:39, 26 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Ayubowan, N.P. Vishva Kumara! Thank you for your response. I have not yet been able to translate it because my Sinhalese is still to poor for me to risk writing something bad :( Could you please help me translate a very short stub version of 1 or 2 sentences of this article for the සිංහල wikipedia? Thank you very much for any help you could provide. I hope to hear from you :) Bohoma isthuti! Yours, PeacefulLakmini (talk) 19:30, 26 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Could you kindly help me translate these two short articles into the outstanding Sinhala language? Please.
Jesus Christ (8–2 BC to 29–36 AD), also known as Jesus of Nazareth, is the central figure of Christianity. He is commonly referred to as Jesus Christ, where "Christ" is a Greek-derived title meaning "Anointed One" Most Christians believe in Jesus as the Son of God sent to provide salvation and reconciliation with God by atoning for the sins of humanity.
The Bible is the holy book of Christianity. It is considered to have the word of God by all Christians. The Christian version of the Bible includes the 39 books of the Old Testament (originally written Hebrew) and the 27 books of the New Testament (originally written in Greek). As of 2003, the Bible, or some portion of it, has been translated into more than 2,300 languages or dialects.
Your help would be very Gratefully Appreciated, Thankyou very much. --Jose77 (talk) 02:34, 30 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Hi Vishwax, I saw the image you added to the Pentacle article. Another editor actually removed it because it was mis-formatted, but I also believe this is not really an appropriate image to head the article with. The reason for this is that your image is (despite its name "Pentacle.svg") not really a pentacle, at least not in the traditional sense. In the past few decades, and particularly in the last ten years or so, it has become more and more common for people to consider a pentagram within a circle like this to be a "pentacle", however this is a modern misconception, and pentacles, more often than not, didn't even involve a five-pointed star at all! For more information on the traditional meaning of "pentacle", and how the more modern meaning developed out of this, see the article. Thanks, Fuzzypeg★ 23:30, 19 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Hi, I noticed that you're intersted on Sri Lanka history. I've made a contribution about Madagascar history (article: Andrianampoinimerina) and my personal researches point a possible origin in Sri Lanka to the Malagasy Merina nobility: Rajput wariors, Malay and Javanese wariors, AD 1200-1300, Buddhism, planting Ficus Religiosa, calling cattle "jomoka" (Sanskrit gomukha), dress in silk, wet rice in valley bottom, rice vocabulary in Tamil, etc. it seems like they fly away from Sri Lanka with their clan after a terrible battle. so please, if you know anything about Rajput warriorsn Malay and Javanese wariors who fled away from Sri Lanka between AD 1200-1300 telle me: it will solve bi problems in MAdagascar history. Thank you in advance. Cheers: --88.165.166.67 (talk) 04:02, 17 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
A tag has been placed on BookmarkCraze.com requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an article with no content whatsoever, or whose contents consist only of external links, "See also" section, book reference, category tag, template tag, interwiki link, rephrasing of the title, or an attempt to contact the subject of the article. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.
If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you.

A tag has been placed on Social bookmark link generator requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article, which appears to be about a real person, individual animal(s), an organization (band, club, company, etc.), or web content, does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable. If this is the first page that you have created, then you should read the guide to writing your first article.
If you think that you can assert the notability of the subject, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the article (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the article's talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would confirm the subject's notability under Wikipedia guidelines.
Thanks for uploading File:BMCWebsiteScreenshot.PNG. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).
If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of "file" pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box.

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, you may not know that Wikipedia has a Manual of Style that should be followed to maintain a consistent, encyclopedic appearance. Using different styles throughout the encyclopedia, as you did in Cannabis (drug), makes it harder to read.

Disambiguation link notification for November 1[edit]
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Sesbania grandiflora, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Sinhala (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Notification of automated file description generation[edit]
Your upload of File:Buduruvagala.JPG or contribution to its description is noted, and thanks (even if belatedly) for your contribution. In order to help make better use of the media, an attempt has been made by an automated process to identify and add certain information to the media's description page.
This notification is placed on your talk page because a bot has identified you either as the uploader of the file, or as a contributor to its metadata. It would be appreciated if you could carefully review the information the bot added. To opt out of these notifications, please follow the instructions here. Thanks!

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

Hi. The Wikipedia:WikiProject Asia/The 10,000 Challenge has recently started, based on the UK/Ireland Wikipedia:The 10,000 Challenge and Wikipedia:WikiProject Africa/The 10,000 Challenge. The idea is not to record every minor edit, but to create a momentum to motivate editors to produce good content improvements and creations and inspire people to work on more countries than they might otherwise work on. There's also the possibility of establishing smaller country or regional challenges for places like South East Asia, Japan/China or India etc, much like Wikipedia:The 1000 Challenge (Nordic). For this to really work we need diversity and exciting content and editors from a broad range of countries regularly contributing. At some stage we hope to run some contests to benefit Asian content, a destubathon perhaps, aimed at reducing the stub count would be a good place to start, based on the current Wikipedia:WikiProject Africa/The Africa Destubathon which has produced near 200 articles in just three days. If you would like to see this happening for Asia, and see potential in this attracting more interest and editors for the country/countries you work on please sign up and being contributing to the challenge! This is a way we can target every country of Asia, and steadily vastly improve the encyclopedia. We need numbers to make this work so consider signing up as a participant! Thank you. --Ser Amantio di NicolaoChe dicono a Signa?Lo dicono a Signa. 04:54, 21 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Deprecated mid-2000s way of entering Sinhala text, no longer relevant, quickly superseded and seldom used even in its heyday. Seems to be mostly an ad for "Singlish for Sinhala SP", some deprecated WinXP software.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.
The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Singlish Sinhala Transliteration Scheme until a consensus is reached, and anyone, including you, is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.
Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article. Psiĥedelisto (talk) 00:07, 30 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
