2025 Update from Women in Green

Hello Blackknight12:

2024 has wrapped up, and what a full year it was for WikiProject Women in Green! Over the past year, we hosted two edit-a-thons, one themed around women's history and another on women around the world. We also managed to achieve most of our 2024 annual goals, nominating 75 articles for GA, reviewing 64 GA nominations, nominating 8 articles for FAC, peer reviewing 3 articles and reviewing 10 FAC nominations. Excellent work, and thank you to everyone involved!

For 2025 we have a new set of goals for nominations and reviews. In particular, we would like to see more articles on our Hot 100 list being improved and nominated for GA this year. If you take a look at the list and see an article you are interested in contributing to, feel free to add it and yourself to our Hot 100 project discussion. You might even find someone interested in collaborating with you!

This year, as with every year, we hope you will join us in helping improve our coverage of women and women's works on this encyclopedia. Every contribution helps. We'll see you around!

Municipal councils of Sri Lanka

@Blackknight12: Hello, I have noticed that you reverted my series of recent updates to the Municipal councils of Sri Lanka article, restoring an earlier version. Please note that the version you reinstated contains outdated information, includes dead URLs and retains unsourced content. I would appreciate it if you could clarify your reasons for the reversion. I hope we can resolve this matter collaboratively. Best regards. QEnigma talk 12:48, 22 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Source of State organisation of the Kandyan Kingdom

Hello, I saw your Template:Organisation of the Kandyan Kingdom which seems very thorough. I was wondering what your sources for all the positions of the Royal Court are?

I have been able to find scattered mentions of various positions and even a Sketch of the Constitution of the Kandyan Kingdom which I think constitutes the best source but nothing really solid online.

I have an ancestor variously mentioned as a badde (tax) lekam or a mohattiar, and I am trying to learn about what they would have done, which is why I am curious.

It may be worth creating an article for all the positions as well. I may take this on some time with the proper sources. — Melofors T C 04:36, 14 May 2025 (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.

The World Destubathon

Hello. You're invited to participate in The World Destubathon. We're aiming to destub a lot of articles and also improve longer stale articles. It will be held from Monday June 16 - Sunday July 13. There is over $3300 going into it, with $500 the top prize. If you are interested in winning something to save you money in buying books for future content, or just see it as a good editathon opportunity to see a lot of articles improved for subjects which interest you, sign up on the page in the participants section if interested. Even if you can only manage a few articles they would be very much appreciated and help towards making the content produced as diverse and broad as possible!♦ Dr. Blofeld 13:04, 15 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of Category:Bermudian people of Sri Lankan descent

A tag has been placed on Category:Bermudian people of Sri Lankan descent indicating that it is currently empty, and is not a disambiguation category, a category redirect, under discussion at Categories for discussion, or a project category that by its nature may become empty on occasion. If it remains empty for seven days or more, it may be deleted under section C1 of the criteria for speedy deletion.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and removing the speedy deletion tag. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 01:23, 16 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]
