Huge backlog at CSD

Hi there, I see at ප්‍රවර්ගය:Candidates_for_speedy_deletion there is a massive backlog of speedy deletion requests, that probably should be attended to as a matter of urgency. The articles you will need to go thru carefully, as I see මුල් ගවේෂණය-යුධ අර්බුද has been nominated for CSD, but it looks like it is a move request. The images I am requesting CSD for are copyright violations which definitely should not be hosted on our projects. Could you and other admins possibly tend to this category at your earliest convenience. Cheers, Russavia (talk) 18:18, 25 දෙසැම්බර් 2012 (යූටීසී)[reply]

Russavia

Dear Thank you for your enthusiasm in Sinhala language wikipedia. Yes there is a backlog. I am in the process of cleaning it. But it will take some more time to complete. More than 90% of this backlog were created by a culprit company called Feilide which undertook project to earn money through sinhala wikipedia. They violated all the norms of wikipedia & even general ethics in creating article fragments on same topic with non acceptable headings. This was done as they were payed according to number of articles created. This project was terminated due to the the protest by sinhala wiki community.

We are still struggling to clean the mess created by that in the past. We trying our best to clean those while salvaging content as much as possible. Number of new nominations for CSD are clearly lover that the rate we are cleaning. So we are progressing.

I have deleted the මුල් ගවේෂණය-යුධ අර්බුද as the content has been merged already with the appropriate article නව ප්‍රංශය.

About images you have requested.. I only fount this file. I am not sure about copyright about stamps & banks notes. I have to study that before deleting. Please give me some links to read about that.

Singhalawap (talk) 07:15, 26 දෙසැම්බර් 2012 (යූටීසී)[reply]

Hi mate, I also let Lee know about the CSD backlog, and he is cleaning up too. About the file, it isn't public domain as per Commons:Template:PD-Sri Lanka. It is copyrighted to the post office authority, or whichever authority in Sri Lanka holds such copyrights. It is impossible for editors to hold copyright on such things, in order to be able to relicence them. Just for note, that image I had deleted on enwp for the same reasons (as well as a lot of the uploaders other uploads which are copyright violations. Russavia (talk) 07:25, 26 දෙසැම්බර් 2012 (යූටීසී)[reply]

I do not know about copyright on stamps (and currency notes) of Sri Lanka. Even this page is not clarifying this. I will study this. I need more time. Singhalawap (talk) 07:35, 26 දෙසැම්බර් 2012 (යූටීසී)[reply]

You can refer to Commons:Category:Stamps of Sri Lanka, which only has old stamps which were published more than 50 years ago. Modern Sri Lankan stamps would be deleted immediately as copyright violations. Russavia (talk) 07:42, 26 දෙසැම්බර් 2012 (යූටීසී)[reply]

Dear Russavia

Can you help me to find following details.

What is the law governing copyright of Sri Lankan Stamps ?
Who is having the ownership of Stamps of Ceylon (before 1948). Sri Lanka or United Kingdom ?
How many years exactly taken to Sri Lankan stamp to consider as in public domain ?

Singhalawap (talk) 17:48, 27 දෙසැම්බර් 2012 (යූටීසී)[reply]

Sri Lankan copyright law is here. Stamps before 1948 would likely be in the public domain as per Commons:Template:PD-Sri Lanka (50 years since publication for anonymous works). If stamps are anonymous works it will take 50 years since publication, or if the artist of the stamp is known, it is 70 years after their death. The stamp above is a copyright violation and should be deleted immediately the project (as it has been done on en.wp). Cheers, Russavia (talk) 19:01, 27 දෙසැම්බර් 2012 (යූටීසී)[reply]

Dear Russavia

Thank you for the link. You may understand that there are lot of ifs on your answer. This indicates that relevant Sri Lankanlaw is not that clear. Further I am not through enough about selecting proper category to upload an image to wikipedia. I am not telling that you are wrong. What I have to say ..

Copyright of the stamps of Ceylon & Sri Lanka is not clear
Copyright of the currency notes of Ceylon & Sri Lanka is not clear
I am not through with image uploading to wikipedia, so I am not sure even if this stamp is not copyright, if the way it has uploaded is incorrect & if there is a way of keeping the image under a different license category.
I need time to study if I am to take an action on this.
If Lee (other administrator) takes an action on this, I have no objection.

Hope you will understand that sinhala wiki community is very small & not mature enough so things may take time to happen.

Singhalawap (talk) 04:29, 28 දෙසැම්බර් 2012 (යූටීසී)[reply]

Hi Singhalawap, in relation to your comments about copyrights, one of the principles of our projects is that unless it can be shown, without a shadow of a doubt, that a file is free, it must be deleted until such time as the veracity of the claimed licence is proven. In this case, the uploader would need to contact Commons:Commons:OTRS and declare that they hold the copyright for the image, and the image could be undeleted. As an OTRS agent myself, I would deny any such declaration as false. If the image was uploaded to Commons (which is possible due to its licencing status here on si.wp), as a Commons admin I would delete the image on sight. I can only urge the si.wp community to delete this image now, because it is a copyright violation as it stands. If in future, one is able to ascertain that Sri Lankan stamps are free of copyright, then they can be reuploaded to Commons. Russavia (talk) 03:18, 12 ජනවාරි 2013 (යූටීසී)[reply]

Dear Russavia

According to this page it seems current & previous socialist countries are/were not keeping copyright on their stamps. As Sri Lanka is also a Democratic Socialist Republic, Sri Lanka most likely not having copyright on postal stamps. This may be the reason that they have not even talked about stamps in there law.

Editing F5 criterion of Criteria for Speedy Deletion in Sinhala Wikipedia

Here you have edited the F5 criterion of Criteria for Speedy Deletion in Sinhala Wikipedia citing "according to the agreement of the discussion". However, in the discussion page, the community had not arrived at a decision or a consensus to change F5 as such. Why are you bulldozing the norms of Sinhala Wikipedia like this, to shape them the way you want? I suggest that you are overstepping the mandate provided to you, as an Administrator of Sinhala Wikipedia. Please refrain from doing these kind of activities which are harmful to your reputation and to the Wikipedia. --- ශ්වෙත (talk) 10:40, 30 මැයි 2013 (යූටීසී)[reply]

Dear ශ්වෙත

According to my understanding the discussion has taken place in 2011 and there is consensus among the people contributed. But no one has taken steps to change the criteria accordingly. I have not done this as I want. If you read the discussion carefully you will see the consensus arrived is very remote from my initial suggestion. I have changed the criteria not according to my initial suggestion.

Talking about the mandate of Administrator; I have not use any Admin right here in this case. I have done something that any user can do.

Singhalawap (talk) 16:59, 30 මැයි 2013 (යූටීසී)[reply]

Few Questions arise:
(1) Where is the consensus? According to the content is the discussion page of Criteria for Speedy Deletion in Sinhala Wikipedia the very last comment by Binguwa clear shows that the discussion is non conclusive. At that moment the discussion had taken place only for one hour and one minute. Binguwa specifically says that it was only an expression of ideas and no decision had been arrived.
(2) If a consensus was there why wait for this long? All of you and all of us did not change this criterion all this time from 2011 as there was no consensus. There were so many other active users who could have done the change. But, none did it as there was no consensus.
(3) Why talk about mandate of Administrator? It is because you are one of the two active Administrators of Sinhala Wikipedia. Only You two have the right to delete articles, Files, Templates, Categories etc. When am Administrator suddenly acts on a non-conclusive discussion and change a criterion so that extra grace period is provided prior to deletion of Files violating a criterion, naturally spot light falls on the said Administrator and blame is imposed on him that he purposely wanted to avoid deletion of certain Files and/or postpone and conveniently forget about them as it normally happens in Sinhala Wikipedia. ---ශ්වෙත (talk) 23:33, 30 මැයි 2013 (යූටීසී)[reply]

I will translate the (core) content in discussion page of Criteria for Speedy Deletion in Sinhala Wikipedia and reiterate for benefit of anyone who is interested in this matter at present or in future:
(1) On 1st November 2011, at 0817h, user Singhalawap had suggested changing the grace period in criterion F5 from existing 7 days to 6 months.
(2) On 1st November 2011, at 0828h, (i.e. after 11 minutes from the commencement of the discussion) User Binguwa had commented that 14 days grace period is sufficient.
(3) On 1st November 2011, at 0833h, (i.e. after 14 minutes from the commencement of the discussion) User Singhalawap had commented agreeing to the suggestion by User Binguwa.
(4) On 1st November 2011, at 0857h, (i.e. after 40 minutes from the commencement of the discussion) Anonymous User 112.135.219.251 had questioned through a discussion only between two Admins, whether a decision can arrived, and had suggested to pose the question at Village Pump fora.
(5) On 1st November 2011, at 0904h, (i.e. after 47 minutes from the commencement of the discussion) User Singhalawap had responded that Admins are also users
(6) On 1st November 2011, at 0918h, (i.e. after 61minutes from the commencement of the discussion) User Binguwa had responded and mentioned that no decision had been arrived & the matter is at the discussion stage & anybody can contribute & the discussion page where the discussion is held is related to the matter.
This is the last comment by any user. It is clear that the discussion was alive only for 61 minutes (01 hr & 01 min) and no consensus had been arrived. ---ශ්වෙත (talk) 01:05, 31 මැයි 2013 (යූටීසී)[reply]

Dear ශ්වෙත

As no one else has discussed or commented for 2 years, I took an action accordingly; not as a admin using admin rights but as a user. You shall better understand that Sinhala wikipedia is only having 2 to 4 active users most of the time. If you need to go for voting for each simple thing, our wikipedia will be a dead place. If you suggest that I should have discuss this again at Village pump, yes you have a point. I don't think its a must; may be nice but for sure time wasting.

You have made this wikipedia a battle field. I believe that your fighting mentality is one majour factor for non increase of long term users in Sinhala wikipedia. "Be bold " is the best approach to a small wikipedia with less contributes. You frighten new users with arguments & fights too much resulting them be discouraged and leaving wikipedia.

I fee; that you are a person without common sense which is a main aspect of wikipedia.

Rules are to improve the wikipedia, but you behave like wikipedia is to protect rules.

Please change your attitude & make this a friendly place.

Singhalawap (talk) 04:40, 31 මැයි 2013 (යූටීසී)[reply]

Rules are there to protect an entity. Wikipedia does not have rules. But there are guidelines, as Wikipedia believes that its users are gentleman, cautious, non-arrogant & most of all responsible personnel. I always try to be "guided" by these guidelines & I like other, whether they are old or new, to follow suit. It may be because that I have noticed non-adherence to these guidelines have made some high-headed hard-nuts among the top echelon of Sinhala Wikipedia who don't bend their attitudes suiting these guidelines of Wikipedia.
I should reiterate that consuming some time and taking a good decision is far better than taking a very bad decision in a hurry. Wikipedia always advocates consensus. In a large Wikipedia, this consensus can be arrived in a matter of few days as lots of Wikipedians visit it regularly. However, in a small Wikipedia like ours it will take ages for that to happen. Still since our activity is at a very slow pace we can wait for that consensus to occur. On the other hand we should not hurry and jump the gun as our users come to Wikipedia at a lesser frequency, because listening to many as possible is very important.
I am sorry to hear your view that my activities have discouraged new users and made them to leave the Wikipedia. I am very sorry again to inform that I will not agree with you. Wikipedians have arrived at and left Sinhala Wikipedia from its inception in large numbers, long before I joined Sinhala Wikipedia. If my comments after I joined had contributed to this leaving of new users, then the attitude of peoples like you who does not budge at community views and try to cling to your attitudes and views like leaches are to be blamed primarily. Thanks. -- ශ්වෙත (talk) 06:23, 31 මැයි 2013 (යූටීසී)[reply]

ලිපිය එක සෛලයක් ගැන නෙමෙයිනෙ සමස්ථ සෛල වර්ගය ගැනනෙ. ඒක නිසා බහු වදන ගැලපෙනවා.

ඒක වචනෙ ගැලපෙන තැනුත් තියනවා. ඒවා case by case බලමු.

මේක අපි අවුරුද්දකට විතර කලිං discuss කලා. ඔයා inactive හිටපු නිසා missවෙන්න ඇති. මට හරියට තැන මතක නෑ. archive පැත්තෙ රවුමක් දාලා බලන්න මලේ.

"නගර සීමා - ශ්‍රී ලංකා" vs "ශ්‍රී ලංකාවේ නගර සීමා"

ශ්‍රී ලංකාවේ නගර සීමා වැඩිය හොඳ නැද්ද? --Lee (talk) 12:31, 26 ජූලි 2013 (යූටීසී)[reply]

Dear Lee,

Some of us (including u) discussed this early on a talk page and I will remind you about what we discussed decided there.

At the binging we had some articles in the format " නගර සීමා - ශ්‍රී ලංකා" & Categories in the format of "නගර සීමා - ශ්‍රී ලංකා".

There was a discussion on this as this is not in par with format (heading format & category format) in En wikipedia.

We realize this is something about proper heading and text predict feature in main search & TomCat. This problem is there for English as traditionally they start with main word but not the place. (ex: Town limits of Sri Lanka"

Considering both aspects we agreed upon following.

නගර සීමා - ශ්‍රී ලංකා format is not appropriate as article heading hence shall be move to ශ්‍රී ලංකාවේ නගර සීමා format. නගර සීමා - ශ්‍රී ලංකා is appropriate as valid to ශ්‍රී ලංකාවේ නගර සීමා ශ්‍රී ලංකා people are likely to start typing with නගර සීමා when the want to read about that of ශ්‍රී ලංකා hence they could get appropriate text predict.
Keep නගර සීමා - ශ්‍රී ලංකා format as the format in the categories.

I still thinks that decision is appropriate.

If there is a real need, we could discuss this again taking hole category tree which is currently in the format of නගර සීමා - ශ්‍රී ලංකා.

රජරට රාජදානිය

some of the people outside of Sri Lanka try to destroy the sinhalese identity in the history. They says there is no such kingdom called rajarata. Please take a look if you have the time. Best way to do is asking equivalent kingdoms in sinhalese wikipedia. http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Kingdom_of_Rajarata&action=history

Dear IP 112.134.172.96

Thank you for informing me about that.

As a Wikipedian mainly interested on sinhala wikipedia, I am not much interested on happenings in English wikipedia in articles related to Sri Lanka.

Word රජරට is a Sinhala word which is used by Sinhala speaking people for thousands of years. But western people has not used that word much in the literature and archeological books.

Because most of English wikipedians can not read or write Sinhala they usually do not know concepts that is only (or mainly) used in Sinhala.

Article රජරට රාජධානිය exists in Sinhala wikipedia.
