Speedy deletion nomination of Draft:Ravi Rajapaksha
[edit]If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.
A tag has been placed on Draft:Ravi Rajapaksha, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, group, product, service, person, or point of view and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Organizations for more information.
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator. CUPIDICAE💕 17:29, 17 February 2022 (UTC)
Heino Schmidt moved to draftspace
[edit]An article you recently created, Heino Schmidt, is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:
" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page. scope_creepTalk 23:18, 17 February 2022 (UTC)
Alborada (film) release year
[edit]Hello! The article Alborada (film) states that the film premiered at the 2021 Tokyo International Film Festival, thus the film should be classified as a 2021 film per MOS:FILM. We use the first public showing as the release year, not the theatrical release year as not all films receive theatrical releases. Let me know if you have any questions!

Hi Gihan, hope you're well. I wonder if you could find any Sri Lankan sources to expand the above cricketers article? He made 171 first-class/List A appearances in his career, so there should be something I'd imagine. In English language sources, there isn't too much about him.

Blocked
[edit]{{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}
. You have been warned again, and again, and again that copyright violations are not acceptable, and since you're utilizing foreign language sources, following copyright is of even greater importance. Your latest update at Visangamanaya here is a blatant word-for-word machine translation from here. This is not acceptable. You have a Copyright Investigation on you dating back to 2015, and yet, seven years later, you haven't learned since. The block is indefinite as you have shown no desire to fix your issues. Wizardman 00:47, 3 October 2022 (UTC)
- I have seen that you blocked me indefinitely. It is definitely heart breaing incidence. I have loved wikipedia since my little age and i have done editing since teen age. If you are thinking that I am not worthy for editing, then I am deeply saddened from that. Aftter 2015, are there any copyroght violations?. I dont think so. I have given my fulltime dedication to uplift my small country among other countried by making edits. (Ex. 2022 in Sri Lanka). Those plot edits are translations from Sinhala. I know that.but, my heart breaks, when you indefinitely blocked me. Always do not try to see the bad thing, see some good things as well. How many new articles I have created. Also, i won a competition about AfroCinema. I have awarded some good wiki awards. Hope you will give me a chance. Ever since there are guidelines given to me wikipedia, i have corrected them. Thank you. GihanJayaweeraTALK 14:27, 3 October 2022 (UTC)

- so you are telling me, I am not worthy to be a wikipedian. I can't make even a small edit rather than making articles.?? I am completely heart broken about your thoughts. I told that, I can change. But you all are thinking I will not.. GihanJayaweeraTALK 02:02, 4 October 2022 (UTC)
- Not adding copyright problems is a non-negotiable part of being a Wikipedian and always has been. You can still get unblocked - you will need to convince the reviewing administrator that you will not add copyvios again via the unblock process. See User:Yunshui/decline copyvio for what your appeal should contain. MER-C 19:17, 4 October 2022 (UTC)

Request reason:
I am writing this to lift my block from Wikipedia and become eligible to edit again. :What is copyright? :In my sense, copyright means that any content is legally protected by using from others in their sources without knowing the original copyright holder. This can be found in scientific assignments, photographs, or any other media. : :How is Wikipedia licenced? :There are many licence I have seen in Wikipedia, such as Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 3.0 (CC BY-SA) and the GNU Free Documentation License (GFDL). :Why is copyrighted content not allowed on Wikipedia? :Because Wikipedia is an encyclopedia which is a place to share the global information. Then, due to being a free licenced and free editing wikipedians, there cannot beany copyrighted content used in Wikipedia. Also, the information of the original author or website is made after extensive workload, and it is not ethical to take them without the acceptance of original author. :Under what circumstances can we use copyrighted content? :If the original author gives the permission, then it can be used, still under some conditions given in Wikipedia such as "GNU Free Documentation License (GFDL)", and non-commercial purposes. :How do you intend to avoid violating the copyright policy in the future? :I have done some bad things as well as good things to Wikipedia. Since my start at the teen age, I have done very wrong things by uploading some one's photos as my ones. But I have accepted that and did not upload any photo after that. As admins stated, there were two late incidences of copyright cases (not about uploading photos), where I could not interfere for one of them due to my busy schedule in 2015. Also, I did not know greatly about those copyright laws. But with time, I have changed. I am learning from every mistake. I have won the AfroCinema 2021 global competition as well with my full dedication to be a memorable Wikipedian. Also, I have awarded the "The Sri Lankan Barnstar of National Merit", "Sri Lankan Wikipedian of the Year 2019", "The Writer's Barnstar", "The Original Barnstar" and "The Random Acts of Kindness Barnstar". I have a great love on Wikipedia, and proud to say that, I am a Wikipedian for nine years since 2013. I am sorry about everything I have done so far and I hope that I can edit again and become a proud Wikipedian. I will correct every bad habit during edits in the future. Thank You
Decline reason:
This misses all of WP:FAIRUSE. Additionally, I'm concerned about your statement, "without knowing the original copyright holder", as that is either nonsense or incorrect, but I suspect simply indicates that you badly worded your understanding. That is, you may be correct but didn't word your point clearly enough for us to understand. Yamla (talk) 16:27, 5 October 2022 (UTC)
If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.
- I am sorry if I got something wrong. In that statment, I said that "information can be posted without knowing the copyright holder. As an example, if there is a research article, someone can include that part by gaining the permission from original author." May be my understanding is different, because I am not from an English-speaking country. Some laws and content in that WP:FAIRUSE cannot understand completely. What I can promise is that, I will never ever make copyright infringment for photos, taking from local newspapers, etc. I will edit with my own words and use only the links as citations. I can assure that. Very sorry if I am troubling you all. GihanJayaweeraTALK 22:06, 5 October 2022 (UTC)

I am saying again, I am sorry about my past.
Decline reason:
Copyright is special in that it has legal ramifications. You can't just say "I'm sorry"; you have to be able to demonstrate your understanding of how English Wikipedia handles copyright. If you have trouble understanding our policies, you should consider editing the version of Wikipedia in your native language. There's nothing special about English Wikipedia. It's not the "prestige version" of Wikipedia. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 15:56, 10 October 2022 (UTC)

Request reason:
I am writing this to lift my block from Wikipedia and become eligible to edit again. I have read all the links supplied to me regarding "Wikipedia:Guide to appealing blocks". :What is copyright? :Copyright means that any verbal, wordy or graphical content which is legally protected by using from others. Copyright does not allows commercial copying, modification and redistribution of any content. I have done some previous mistakes on copyright cases in both wordy and image aspects. Admins have warned me about violating copyright policy and I am taking their advices. Honestly, I am learning new things in every time from this kind of help given by many local and foreign admins and reviewers. I obey their advices a lot. In this instance, I have inspected in two times in 2015 and 2018 regarding some copyright cases. Yes, it is true that I could not corporate with that. I don't remember what happened during those days. (may be too busy with my graduation from the university). Anyway, I accept that. That is why I am asking about giving permission again to be a right, obedient and understandable wikipedian. I know that Wikipedia is an encyclopedia and its goal is to use "free content". That means, not commercial or non-copyrighted works can be added and modified. I will do that in the future. Definitely. I will not add any wordy or copyrighted images from any local or international web sites, books, blogs, etc. I will made prose and make articles with my own words, where the primary and secondary sources are given only as references. As given in Wikipedia, Free content for unlimited distribution, modification and application by all users in all media is fine. The admins can block me in the future, if I am breaking the copyright policy fault again. I request "good faith" from every admin towards me that any person needs one chance to become good again. I accept this block in rest of my life and Wikipedia life, and I promise it definitely will never happen again. I agree all the copyright terms and conditions imposed to me by admins and Wikipedia. I have no any anger towards the blocked admin as well as others about this. Because I made this by myself. If admins lift my block, just study me and check whether I am doing the same thing again. I will upload photos only taken by me under "Image use policy". I will write with my own words. I love English wikipedia a lot as well as to Sinhala wikipedia. So blocking me from English wikipedia is truly heart breaking. But this will be a learning curve for me. Because it hurts more. I have understand "Wikipedia's copyright policy and policies regarding how to use non-free content." This is my third request. I don't know continuous requests block me again. But Wikipedia means a lot to me and my life. You can search my editing history and see how much love is there and bond with Wikipedia since 2013. Thank You so much.

Request reason:
I am relly heartbroken by this. I cannot make any edit, even a small one. But Ihave told how much I love wikipedia for many years. but no one is realizing that. always saying keep faith, but no one is there to give one last chance. everyone is relying on explain, explain, fair use....etc. But give me one chance, and i will obey everything.but no one is giving that opportunity
Decline reason:
And this leaves me with the following impression: Your editing was damaging the encyclopedia, and the "many years" are not positive in this regard. It should have led to a block much earlier to prevent the damage you did over the years. You ask for "one chance" when you've had too many already. There is nothing we can do for you at this point. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 20:19, 21 December 2022 (UTC)

Hello Gihan Jayaweera, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia.
While your contributions are appreciated, I wanted to let you know that I've started a discussion about whether an article that you created, Dea Liane, should be deleted, as I am not sure that it is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia in its current form. Your comments are welcome at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Dea Liane.
Deletion discussions usually run for seven days and are not votes. Our guide about effectively contributing to such discussions is worth a read. The most common issue in these discussions is notability, but it's not the only aspect that may be discussed; read the nomination and any other comments carefully before you contribute to the discussion. Last but not least, you are highly encouraged to continue improving the article; just be sure not to remove the tag about the deletion nomination from the top.
If you have any questions, please leave a comment here and prepend it with {{Re|Sionk}}
. And don't forget to sign your reply with ~~~~
. Thanks!
(Message delivered via the Page Curation tool, on behalf of the reviewer.)

The article Anora (upcoming film) has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
This film has been "upcoming" for over half a decade now. It has still not been publicly released to theatres or video. I see nothing that indicates the production itself is notable. Thus it should not have its own article, per WP:NFF.
