25px|alt=Information icon ↗ Thank you for your contributions ↗ to Wikipedia. Regarding your recent edits to :Saman Almeida ↗ 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>) 15:35, 26 June 2026 (UTC)

:Thank you for pointing that out and for fixing the error. I am still learning how to use Wikipedia templates correctly. I will make sure to use the Show preview button before saving my edits in the future. I appreciate your help. Botempa (talk) 15:43, 26 June 2026 (UTC)
::Keep up the good work! We all have to start somewhere and learn.

:::Thank you so much for the encouragement! I will definitely keep working on it and do my best to improve. Botempa (talk) 15:45, 26 June 2026 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nominations

I noticed that you were a bit hesitant to nominate Sandun Wijemanne Nissanka ↗ for deletion. You were correct to nominate it for deletion as an advertisement, and it has been accordingly deleted. Please keep up your good work on Wikipedia! Seraphimblade <small><sup>Talk to me</sup></small> 13:27, 28 June 2026 (UTC)

:Hello! I would like to get some advice on how to handle the article Lochana Jayakodi ↗. I strongly suspect that this page was created as a paid or promotional piece. Many of the reference links used to support the article are now broken or the articles have been completely removed from those third-party websites, suggesting they might have been temporary sponsored content.
:Does this qualify for Speedy Deletion under the G11 (Unambiguous advertising) criterion, or should I nominate it through the regular Articles for Deletion (AfD) process? I want to make sure I take the right approach according to Botempa (talk) 14:42, 29 June 2026 (UTC)
::It's already at AfD, so you may as well just let the discussion run its course. Seraphimblade <small><sup>Talk to me</sup></small> 02:36, 30 June 2026 (UTC)

Hello, when you submit a draft for WP:AFC ↗, please do not yourself approve the draft. Approvals should be done by other editors. grapesurgeon (talk) 13:28, 28 June 2026 (UTC)

ANI notice

link=|25px|alt=Information icon ↗ There is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents ↗ regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. The thread is AI-generated bull in a china shop ↗. Athanelar (talk) 07:26, 29 June 2026 (UTC)

:Hello. I am an editor from Sri Lanka. I want to clarify that my intention is only to improve Wikipedia by writing about Sri Lankan and South Indian personalities. I admit that I sometimes used AI assistance for translation and drafting because English is not my native language. However, I always made sure to include reliable references and verifiable sources for all the information.I apologize for the mess created by moving pages between draftspace and mainspace. I am still learning the complex page-moving guidelines. I will stop using AI tools immediately and will not move any more pages without proper guidance. Please guide me on how to fix my mistakes instead of blocking me. Thank you Botempa (talk) 07:35, 29 June 2026 (UTC)
