thread_title: Explanation of the changes and deletions made on 25 Aug

message: The following text was added to the main body of the article by anonymous user 148.87.1.172.  It properly belongs here on the talk page:
: This is not entirely true, read below, the Tamil militancy took off in 1983 after the elections of 1982. So Mrs. B's civic rights being stripped off had nothing to do with the separatists who were only a minor irritant at that time. Also, Mrs. B. was never a presidential nominee, her civic rights were stripped way before the presidential nominations.
To which I respond: the article never said this was about the Tamil militants, it was about Jayewardene strong-arming the 1982 election against a Sinhalese rival.  
I did change "presidential nominee" to "likely presidential nominee".
The user also said about Black July:
: have these claims ever been verified?
To which I respond: Yes.  I added a reference. Tyronen 16:14, 1 September 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Discussion text in article 

message: Descended from a family of the Colombo Tamil Chetty Community who trace their origins to the Coromondel Coast South India during Dutch rule (mid 17th cent.). The Colombo Chetty community from Nagapatnam, India is well documented from 1663 during the reign of King Rajasingha 11 of Kandy. Several generations before the birth of Don Adrian, a male member of his ancestors had married a Sinhalese lady by the name of Jayawardena and JR Jayawardene is a descent of them.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 219.77.144.118 (talk) 18:25, 21 July 2012 (UTC)
