Hello Blackknight12:

This month, February 2026, '''WikiProject Women in Green ↗''' is participating in the February 2026 GAN Backlog Drive ↗, in which we're aiming to review as many outstanding Good Article (GA) nominations about women and women's works as possible. If you want to help out, you can check out the project talk page ↗ for a list of nominations in need of review (including some WiG originals). If you haven't reviewed a GA nomination before, be sure to check out the reviewing instructions ↗ and guidelines ↗ and feel free to ask for a mentor ↗ to check your work.

We are also working together with a wikithon hosted on 5 February by Wikimedia UK, which will focus on writing and improving articles about women involved in sustainable development. If you want to join the event, feel free to sign up at the eventbrite page ↗; or if you would be interested in providing a 20-minute assessment and/or a full GA review of the submitted articles in the weeks following, put your name down on the project talk page ↗ for updates as the event progresses.

We hope to see you there!

25px|alt=Information icon ↗ Thank you for your contributions ↗ to Wikipedia. Regarding your recent edits to :Anuradhapura invasion of Pandya ↗ when you modified the page, you introduced {{cl|Unknown parameters|unknown parameters}}. Just because you specify {{para|some_param|{{var|some_variable}}}} does not always mean that variable will display. The {{para|some_param}} must be defined in the template. You can look at the documentation for the template you are using but it is also helpful to use the preview ↗ button before you save your edit; this helps you find any errors you have made and ensure that the values you have added are displaying correctly. Below the edit box is a '''Show preview''' button. Pressing this will show you what the page will look like without actually saving it. It is strongly recommended that you use this before saving. Note I have likely fixed the error by now so check the history ↗ of the page to see how it was fixed. If you have any questions, contact the help desk ↗ for assistance.
Thank you. '''<span style="color:#00d5ff !important">Zack</span><span style="color:#007F94 !important">mann</span>''' (<sup>Talk to me ↗</sup>/<sub><span style="color:orange !important">What I been doing</span> ↗</sub>) 01:46, 30 April 2026 (UTC)

recent additions to List of wars involving Sri Lanka

Hello. I noticed your recent additions to the list of wars involving Sri Lanka. Several entries appear to split what may be a single campaign into multiple separate "wars" (for example, the 1202–1212 Chola/Pandyan interventions), while others, such as the repeated "Pandyan invasions of Dambadeniya," do not seem to correspond to distinct conflicts in the sources I have checked.
Could you explain the criteria you used for deciding which events should be listed as separate wars? If you have reliable sources supporting each as an independent conflict, then please showcase it. Otherwise, I think some of these entries may be better merged/renamed or removed to avoid cluttering the list and to better reflect the historical literature. ~2026-37525-12 ↗ (talk) 17:48, 29 June 2026 (UTC)
