Hello, Dayan de Alwis, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of your edits have not conformed to Wikipedia's verifiability policy, and may be removed if they have not yet been. Wikipedia articles should refer only to facts and interpretations that have been stated in print or on reputable websites or other forms of media. Always remember to provide a reliable source for quotations and for any material that is likely to be challenged, or it may be removed. Wikipedia also has a related policy against including original research in articles. Additionally, all new biographies of living people must contain at least one reliable source.

If you are stuck and looking for help, please see the guide for citing sources or come to the new contributors' help page, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Here are a few other good links for newcomers:

Hi, you have sourced your addition of text to Buddhism in the West‎ with a dead link. It would be helpful in any case if you could provide a full citation for a print reference (!): author, book or Journal (no), year, (publisher, location/for a book) and page no. See the text and link above how this is done. The complete ref. info is needed to order a print source from a library (WP:V. In this form the reference is worthless and the text might be removed if no full citation is given. Thank you JimRenge (talk) 18:48, 31 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Information icon Hello, I'm Pharaoh of the Wizards. Wikipedia is written by people who have a wide diversity of opinions, but we try hard to make sure articles have a neutral point of view. Your recent edit to M.I.A. (rapper) ‎ seemed less than neutral to me, so I removed it for now. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Please also note this is a WP:BLP. Pharaoh of the Wizards (talk) 09:50, 7 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Information icon Please do not add commentary or your own personal analysis to Wikipedia articles, as you did to Tamil people. Doing so violates Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy and breaches the formal tone expected in an encyclopedia. Thank you. obi2canibetalk contr 16:10, 7 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
