[edit] Quality

This article is sub-standard and largely irrelevant. It has to be shortened and rephrased. Krankman (talk) 12:54, 21 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Glorify Nissanka Wijeyeratne and Edwin Wijeyeratne

It seams that the user:Fitz Mackins and some other unregistered user (maybe both are the same person) are trying to glorify Nissanka Wijeyeratne and Edwin Wijeyeratne, perhaps for personal reasons. They are not only editing these two articles with complete disregard for the edits of other editors, they are adding unnecessary information regrading these two persons (Nissanka Wijeyeratne and Edwin Wijeyeratne) to other articles. I should request a admin to look int this matter. Nitraven (talk) 07:10, 23 March 2008 (UTC)

Well Nitraven, what I meant by my statement above was just about what you said. But I think it would be a good idea to get some people to read the article and ask for their opinion, and not directly threaten to get an admin. Do you agree? Cheers, Krankman (talk) 14:08, 23 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Radala

Hello Nitraven,

Regarding the caption for the last photo on the page titled 'Radala', the former Diyawadana Nilame, Neranjan Wijeyeratne had been falsely accused without any facts or references. Please note that an umbrella had never been used for the Tooth Relic. It is a Golden Canopy which is used for it, and that too for the Randoli Perahara only.

In the history, Nilames have always used umbrellas since the very first Diyawadana Nilame. The same applies today too.

In addition, the Diyawadana Nilame, or for that matter, any person, is not allowed to wear shoes within the Dalada Maligawa premises. However, in the Perahara, any Nilame (Diyawadana and Basnayake Nilames) can wear shoes.

Therefore, please consider these facts and be kind enough to correct the false, misleading and baseless statements on that caption.

Thanks & kind regards,
