You have reverted 3 times now. Any further reverts will result in a block per WP:3RR. If you add the banner back in, add it correctly. You are totally doing it wrong. Hint: It only take one line and less than 20 characters. If you don't know what you are doing, then ask questions. Bgwhite (talk) 07:42, 17 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I said no profanity. This is your last and final warning. Any more reverts, you shall be blocked. You just cannot revert somebody else's contributions and demand they talk when you didn't talk in the first place. You continuing to do blank reverts for pieces you do not like HAS TO STOP!!! Last and final warning. You revert, you will get blocked. Bgwhite (talk) 23:10, 17 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Excuse me, Bg, but I believe that "what the f***" is profanity. May I also point out that you seem to be involved in the edit war yourself? (You have made a total of five reverts today.) It may be best to disengage from this, as using your block button in this situation could easily be seen as violating WP:INVOLVED. --Biblioworm23:26, 17 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Biblioworm WTF is not profanity. If I said fuck, then that would be profanity. Same goes for snafu and fubar/foobar. Eng.M.Bandara was reverting and not talking. They reverted because I removed an improperly added tag. That is not a reason to revert. They again reverted a HUGE addition because some of their stuff was removed. This is again not a reason to revert. Eng.M.Bandara said the other person should should talk if they removed Eng.M.Bandara's edit, but Eng.M.Bandara has no such problems reverting and not talking. Once again, Eng.M.Bandara has reverted without talking. They are now blocked 48 hours. Until Eng.M.Bandara learns that reverting everybody's edit is not acceptable, they will continue to be blocked. I have no stake in the article and could care less. I do care about reliable references being used and using the revert button instead of talking.
Note, this is not there only problem. They created E04 expressway (Sri Lanka) with made up and contradictory information. No references were given. The article is up for AfD. I said keep, but removed most of the info from the article. I asked another editor that deals with Sri Lanka to take a look and they have been adding information back in with references. Bgwhite (talk) 08:06, 18 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Two sentences and an accusation to Obi2canibe's message is not attempts. You didn't talk before your reverted, only when Obi2canibe talked. People do not do Wikipedia full-time and live in other time zones. You cannot quickly revert a few hours after you make a two sentence reply. Bgwhite (talk) 08:33, 18 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
You are firstly involved in the dispute regardless of your position on the matter, and secondly the fact that you do not care about the issues shows you have no understanding of the dispute, despite involving yourself in it. Allowing Obi2caibe to remove well sourced and referenced material, in article in which weight is already significantly in favor of one side is not at all acceptable. Also his "HUGE" contribution as you described further tilted balance of the article towards a particular view. --Eng. M.Bandara-Talk08:40, 18 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
You need to start looking at your actions and not accusing others. Also his "HUGE" contribution as you described further tilted balance of the article towards a particular view.... that is the first time you have brought it up. "YOU reverted without talking. YOU only seem it is fair to remove other people's work without talking, but they can't yours. Obi2caibe didn't revert... YOU did. You had two choices, add back in your material or talk. Reverting was not an option. Wikipedia is a collaboration and you fail to understand that. You fail to understand you just cannot revert. Bgwhite (talk) 08:53, 18 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

This user's unblock request has been reviewed by an administrator, who declined the request. Other administrators may also review this block, but should not override the decision without good reason (see the blocking policy).
Blocking Admin is involved in the dispute, and has reverted the article more than 4 times,see this[2] --Eng. M.Bandara-Talk 7:39 am, Today (UTC+0)
Decline reason:
At this time I am declining your unblock request - were I to undo the block on procedural grounds (which I'm not at all convinced would be justified; Bgwhite has explained his reasoning to me and I find his points to be highly cogent) I would simply reapply it immediately on my own authority. However, I would be willing to unblock you on the condition that you agree to stop reverting the article, and to restrict your edits to the talkpage until a clear consensus emerges (you would be welcome to file an RFC, 3O request or other DR process to achieve this if you wished). If you are willing to abide by this condition, please file a new unblock request below, using the {{unblock}} template. Yunshui雲水09:47, 18 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
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 didn't see the socket puppet investigation about me. Also You should be aware that the username is a very common name in Sri lanka, and it is not unlikely for both editors to be editing sri lanka related articles. If I have been disruptive, this is not appropriate forum to bring that up, and also the allegation of disruption is in bad faith. --Eng. M.Bandara-Talk05:02, 24 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

{{unblock|@PhilKnight, I have already said I have not, and that username is an actual name, not just a username. But according the appeal guidelines there doesn't appear to any point pleading my innocence when your not going believe me. So all I was simply saying was I reaffirm without prejudice to abide by the rules and unblock me and we wont have any problems. --Eng. M.Bandara-Talk06:58, 25 December 2014 (UTC)}}[reply]
I was blocked for sock-puppetry in Late last year, I made a request through UTRS also in late year and was advised to wait 6 months without sock puppetry and remake the request. I made the request last week through the UTRS system, and talk page privileges have been re-enabled to allow community consensus. I make a request to re-enter Wikipedia as per standard offer.--Eng.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.
Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. This is a notice to inform you that a tag has been placed on Karunasena Hettiarachchi 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, a "See also" section, book references, category tags, template tags, interwiki links, images, a rephrasing of the title, a question that should have been asked at the help or reference desks, 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 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 removed 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, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here. Savonneux (talk) 05:24, 23 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
If you created the article, please don't be offended. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, see Referencing for beginners, or ask at the help desk. Once you have provided at least one reliable source, you may remove the {{prod blp/dated}} tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced. If you cannot provide such a source within seven days, the article may be deleted, but you can request that it be undeleted when you are ready to add one. noq (talk) 07:54, 23 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
A tag has been placed on File:Karunasena Hettiarachchi.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F9 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the file appears to be a blatant copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted content borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.
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".

Fails to establish notability, in accordance with WP:ANYBIO. The only fact is that he is Secretary to the Ministry of Defence, which is insufficient to establish notability. Dan arndt (talk) 13:45, 5 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
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.
Hi there, I'm pleased to inform you that I've begun reviewing the article Sri Lanka you nominated for GA-status according to the criteria. This process may take up to 7 days.

Eng.M.Bandara, per the GA instructions, a nominator may not also review their own nomination. I have therefore nominated the review page you created for deletion; once it is gone, an eligible reviewer will be able to select the article for review. It may take a while for a new reviewer to be found; GAN currently has a large backlog. Please feel free to let me know if you have any questions. BlueMoonset (talk) 01:38, 5 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
The article you've created doesn't really convene much information about the topic. It needs to provide some history, as well as the reasons for the protests, who are the parties involved etc. Dan arndt (talk) 13:25, 18 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Articles for deletion/Elisa Jordana (3rd nomination)
Do you think that User:FSOJM791 and User:Jhof84 are sockpuppets of User:LeafK1, as based on their history of edits it would appear to be too coincidental otherwise.Dan arndt (talk) 08:56, 20 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Wikipedia editor Abishe just reviewed your page, and wrote this note for you:
I have just reviewed your article and I thank you for creating this article by addressing issues relating to SAITM. But the thing is, the article you have created needs more than reliable information and the articleneeds to be expanded.
@Serial Number 54129: I think your speedy closure of my nomination was uncalled for. We already have a list for school shootings in the United States, I don't think an independent article for each and everyone is justified. Others have expressed a similar view elsewhere on Wikipedia, and you didn't give them an opportunity to be their arguments forward, the discussion should have been allowed to run its course. --Eng. M.Bandara-Talk22:06, 10 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@Eng.M.Bandara: If you do this [1] again, I will block you for disruption. You don't get to control the discussion you opened. By the way, "homeslice" isn't an insult, but I redacted it anyway, since it could be misconstrued. Acroterion(talk)
Mr. (I presume) Bandara: I would like to offer my sincere thanks for your dropping of the stick with regard to this matter. I think you do reach the right conclusions, though I think that, like me, your knee jerk responses can be sub-optimal. I understand the instinct to counter-punch online, but I would respectfully suggest that taking a few minutes before publishing a submission can do wonders. Obviously, this is just unsolicited advice, but I really do wish you the best. Cheers. Dumuzid (talk) 00:50, 14 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Notice
This is a standard message to notify contributors about an administrative ruling in effect. It does not imply that there are any issues with your contributions to date.
You have shown interest in living or recently deceased people, and edits relating to the subject (living or recently deceased) of such biographical articles. Due to past disruption in this topic area, a more stringent set of rules called discretionary sanctions is in effect. Any administrator may impose sanctions on editors who do not strictly follow Wikipedia's policies, or the page-specific restrictions, when making edits related to the topic.
For additional information, please see the guidance on discretionary sanctions and the Arbitration Committee's decision here. If you have any questions, or any doubts regarding what edits are appropriate, you are welcome to discuss them with me or any other editor.
You appear to be moving toward another problem with your approach to other editors at Talk:STEM School Highlands Ranch shooting. Please stop treating every discussion at that talkpage as a battle, and please remember that WP:BLP is policy. Gender identity is one topic that must be handled carefully, especially when the subject isn't a public figure and whose personal circumstances are ambiguous and poorly researched. Acroterion(talk)03:08, 15 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
If you think there are good reasons for being unblocked, please read the guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text below the block notice on your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}.
This user's unblock request has been reviewed by an administrator, who declined the request. Other administrators may also review this block, but should not override the decision without good reason (see the blocking policy).
Blocking admin INVOLVED, discussion at ANI still underway, I am seeking review to allow ANI to countinue. I had apologised for the comments made to the user and removed it myself in less 3 minutes, it was already subject or previous ANI and dealt with. I have nothing to do with how the admin feels to be " provocational statements" I was expressing my opinion on what I felt as the arbitrary application of WP:BLP at the discussion. I never disruptively edited any articles, this is clear from my recent contribution at 2019 Sri Lanka Easter bombings. --Eng. M.Bandara-Talk04:52, 15 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Decline reason:
El_C was not in a dispute with you, and therefore was not involved. "Uninvolved" does not require that the admin has literally never interacted with you. In any event, one other administrator has stated that he would have blocked you if El_C had not, and I would have done the same. So even if you hypothetically succeed in arguing involved, it makes no difference. Simply put, you are toxic, and no one should have to deal with you while trying to build an encyclopedia. Someguy1221 (talk) 05:06, 15 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
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.
El_C Sorry, I thought you were involved at the previous ANI. However, I still think that the current ANI should be allowed to continue for further consensus. In regards to the indefinite block, I have made substantial contributions to Wikipedia, I personally do think this block is unjustified when I was expressing my opinion. I didn't vandalise or disruptively edit any articles. Let me put it another way, how would like me to 'adjust' my behaviour to contribute to Wikipedia positively. --Eng. M.Bandara-Talk05:02, 15 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
The 18th century is ====> thataway. Until you find the 21st century on your moral compass I'd suggest it logical to assume you won't be welcomed back. In most cases, indefinite does not mean infinite. This may be an exception. El_C or whatever admin rejects the unblock request, please revoke TPS. WP:UTRS can deal with this troglodyte. Seeing him (?, as no self respecting man could possibly think that way) spew excuses makes me want to puke. John from Idegon (talk) 05:11, 15 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Unjustified block for a long term contributor to Wikipedia. Also, an indefinite block is only justified for cases of persistent long term abuse. --Eng. M.Bandara-Talk05:12, 15 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
(edit conflict) I commented just as the ANI was being closed, and I left what I'd written directly below. To reiterate what I said there, I support a block because the attitudes that you've expressed are regressive and incompatible with the norms of our community. We welcome a variety of different viewpoints on Wikipedia, but one thing we cannot and will not tolerate is casual sexism or misogyny. Wikipedia already has a less-than-hospitable editing environment for women; we don't need to allow the situation to become even more problematic. If what you say is really what you believe, then I strongly advise that you take the time to examine what the underlying causes of your prejudices towards women may be. Come back to us only after you've done so. Kurtis(talk)05:43, 15 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
If it is not clear, unless you are willing to accept that rape is rape and quit with the victim-bashing, you are not welcome to edit Wikipedia. You are not welcome to any community with such a detrimental mindset. You are replaceable. But I do understand, the mindset might be a product of the environment we are used to. I have added a few links that you might read to inform yourself.
