Hi, I see that you have unsuccessfully tried to nominate this article for deletion for the second time. If you know that the article is not substantially different from the first incarnation, please feel free to nominate for speedy deletion (Db-g4). For now, I'll just try to fix the AfD for you.

I closed the AfD because the article was g4'd as I said above. It's a good option in these cases. Jarkeld (talk) 17:53, 12 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

There are still problems because you are reusing the original author's style and words. It is common because, we learn of the subject from the source. I will look into today. you are getting better, but still lots of work to be done. It would help, if you wrote down your points in sinhala and then retranslated them into english in your own words. (works for me). will do a rewrite later in the day.--Sodabottle (talk) 04:50, 8 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I'm afraid I have not got time actually to help re-write this article, and I don't think I would be good at it, but I can give you some ideas:

• To avoid what you write being too close to the original sources, first read the sources carefully again, then go away and do something else for an hour or two, then write the article in your own words. After that, you can check it against the sources to make sure it is accurate, but if you make any changes then, be sure not to take actual sentences from the sources
• Then you can ask for comments at WP:Requests for feedback. If you do that, explain that you are trying to avoid copyright problems.
