That is one riot as in singular. I cant find credible references for more than this. I am altering this to singular until anyone can find a credible reference. Ruchiraw 04:10, 26 July 2006 (UTC)

thread_title: Referencing this article using Wikinotes

message: I have tagged this section with POV and Factual as I find no evidence that multiple race riots occurred in 1970's
What does the following mean , that S.W.R.D. Bandaranaike  organised these riots. please take some care when editing, the meanings not clear 
::Of the series of events, the most notable one apart from the Black July event happened in 1958 under the leadership of Sinhala nationalist prime minister S.W.R.D. Bandaranaike husband and father of Sri Lankan prime ministers Sirimavo Bandaranaike and Chandrika Kumaratunga. 
The following sentences are stongly POV and have not been supported by references.  
::Historians note it was the timely action of part Tamil Chief of Staff Brigadier Mutucumaru that saved the life of many Tamil civilians in the face of inaction by then government, very reminiscent of what happened in 1983.
::It has been reported that Vellupillai Prabhakaran, leader of the LTTE, became convinced of the need for armed struggle for Tamil independence from Sri Lanka because of the massacres and rapes in the 1958 riots.[citation needed].

message: Before anyone starts citing websites such as tamilnation.com and sangam.org and please read Wikipedia policy on Reliable sources WP:RS. And I'll say again "as quite a few people have said above, the sources cited really have to be credible.". Such as BBC or amnesty internationational etc.

replies: text: I think you have a problem here, not the article you keep changing the goals, if Tamilcanadian is not realiable then so be it but not the entire article. If you keep doing this instead discussing the points which are in question you will be reported as a potential Vandal to admin. RaveenS 14:41, 26 July 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: RaveenS, I don't understand why you say snowolfd4 is a vandal. Please direct me to the appropriate wikipedia page which says applying NPOV  to a biased article/section is vandalism Ruchiraw 15:17, 26 July 2006 (UTC)
