If so, the article should be clarified accordingly. <a href="/wiki/Special:Contributions/Aecis" title="Special:Contributions/Aecis"><span style="color:blue;">A</span></a><a href="/wiki/User:Aecis" title="User:Aecis"><span style="color:green;">ecis</span></a><sup><a href="/wiki/User_talk:Aecis" title="User talk:Aecis">Brievenbus</a></sup> <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Vimaladharmasuriya_I#c-Aecis-2008-01-08T22:03:00.000Z-Years" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">22:03, 8 January 2008 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-Aecis-2008-01-08T22:03:00.000Z-Years"><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">[</span><a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">]</span><!--__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2008-01-08T22:03:00.000Z","author":"Aecis","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-Aecis-2008-01-08T22:03:00.000Z-Years","replies":["c-Taprobanus-2008-01-08T22:05:00.000Z-Aecis-2008-01-08T22:03:00.000Z"],"displayName":"ecis"}}--></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-Aecis-2008-01-08T22:03:00.000Z-Years"></span> </p> <dl><dd><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-Taprobanus-2008-01-08T22:05:00.000Z-Aecis-2008-01-08T22:03:00.000Z"></span>Obviously it is wrong that is his rulership. he died in 1604.

For example look at the kings listed in Jaffna Kingdom. The years are not birth to death, but years of reign. The same applies to kings of Sri Lanka. Look at the list of Chola kings in Chola dynasty. They are all years of reign.In this region the emphasis is not on Birth and Death, but years of reign.the recording of birth and death is a christian thing, done by the church. It is not found in other parts of the world. Even today, many in Pakistan, Afghanistan etc do not know their date of birth, as there is little emphasis on birth and death culturally. Birth and death of Sri lankan rulers were not recoreded by Buddhist monks in Sri Lanka in the same context as the Christian church. Aecis above is trying to visualise and judge non Christian history with Christian bias by emphasizing Birth and death. Therefore I would suggest that in the non christian world, historical birth dates on your site are not very reliable. <small>—Preceding <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Signatures" title="Wikipedia:Signatures">unsigned</a> comment added by <a href="/w/index.php?title=User:Bebadda&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="User:Bebadda (page does not exist)">Bebadda</a> (<a href="/wiki/User_talk:Bebadda" title="User talk:Bebadda">talk</a> • <a href="/wiki/Special:Contributions/Bebadda" title="Special:Contributions/Bebadda">contribs</a>) <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Vimaladharmasuriya_I#c-Bebadda-2008-01-09T06:58:00.000Z-Taprobanus-2008-01-08T22:05:00.000Z" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">06:58, 9 January 2008 (UTC)</a></small><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-Bebadda-2008-01-09T06:58:00.000Z-Taprobanus-2008-01-08T22:05:00.000Z"><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">[</span><a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">]</span><!--__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2008-01-09T06:58:00.000Z","author":"Bebadda","type":"comment","level":3,"id":"c-Bebadda-2008-01-09T06:58:00.000Z-Taprobanus-2008-01-08T22:05:00.000Z","replies":["c-Taprobanus-2008-01-09T15:14:00.000Z-Bebadda-2008-01-09T06:58:00.000Z","c-Aecis-2008-01-09T19:55:00.000Z-Bebadda-2008-01-09T06:58:00.000Z"]}}--></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-Bebadda-2008-01-09T06:58:00.000Z-Taprobanus-2008-01-08T22:05:00.000Z"></span> <dl><dd><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-Taprobanus-2008-01-09T15:14:00.000Z-Bebadda-2008-01-09T06:58:00.000Z"></span>Solved your problem by adding a succession box, don’t look at Chola articles for example of how to write good quality articles on South Asian history.

As outlined in <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style_(biographies)" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:Manual of Style (biographies)">Wikipedia:Manual of Style (biographies)</a>, the lead section/opening paragraph of an article should contain: <ul><li>"Name(s) and title(s), if any (see, for instance, also <a href="/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Naming_conventions_(names_and_titles)&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="Wikipedia:Naming conventions (names and titles) (page does not exist)">Wikipedia:Naming conventions (names and titles)</a>)</li> <li>Dates of birth and death, if known (see <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style_(dates_and_numbers)#Dates_of_birth_and_death" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:Manual of Style (dates and numbers)">Wikipedia:Manual of Style (dates and numbers)#Dates of birth and death</a>)</li> <li>Nationality (In the normal case this will mean the country of which the person is a citizen or national, or was a citizen when the person became notable. Ethnicity should generally not be emphasized in the opening unless it is relevant to the subject's notability.)</li> <li>What the person did</li> <li>Why the person is significant.</li></ul></dd> <dd>For examples of this, see biographies of other persons throughout Wikipedia. If a year is given directly after the name of the person, it should always be the year of birth, and, if appropriate, the year of death. The years of reign of a person should be mentioned elsewhere in the article. So if this article starts with "<b>Vimaladharmasuriya I</b> (1592-1604)", it is normal to assume that this means year of birth and year of death. This has nothing to do with any sort of bias.

I was born in the East and lived my entire adult life in the west so I understand your square, But I hope you understood my circle, that the recording of birth and death is a Christian thing. In the non Christian world, these dates had no cultural importance and as a result, the dates you carry in your web site as birth or death are less reliable in respect of non Christian subjects, who make up most of the world. This is especially so in relation to historical figures. The rules of your web site has obviously been made up by western christians and it is administered by christians and trying to force a square into a circle creates problems, but I suppose its your baby. <small>—Preceding <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Signatures" title="Wikipedia:Signatures">unsigned</a> comment added by <a href="/w/index.php?title=User:Bebadda&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="User:Bebadda (page does not exist)">Bebadda</a> (<a href="/wiki/User_talk:Bebadda" title="User talk:Bebadda">talk</a> • <a href="/wiki/Special:Contributions/Bebadda" title="Special:Contributions/Bebadda">contribs</a>) <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Vimaladharmasuriya_I#c-Bebadda-2008-01-10T02:47:00.000Z-Years" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">02:47, 10 January 2008 (UTC)</a></small><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-Bebadda-2008-01-10T02:47:00.000Z-Years"><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">[</span><a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">]</span><!--__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2008-01-10T02:47:00.000Z","author":"Bebadda","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-Bebadda-2008-01-10T02:47:00.000Z-Years","replies":["c-Aecis-2008-01-10T12:41:00.000Z-Bebadda-2008-01-10T02:47:00.000Z"]}}--></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-Bebadda-2008-01-10T02:47:00.000Z-Years"></span> </p> <dl><dd><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-Aecis-2008-01-10T12:41:00.000Z-Bebadda-2008-01-10T02:47:00.000Z"></span>I want to correct you on that.

king by marrying. This is inaccurate. When Dona Catherina was placed on the throne by the portuguese in Kandy, Vimaladharmasuriya had already been crowned and had defended his kingdom in battle against Sitavaka Rajasimha who challenged him. read my article which was deleted.By marrying dona catherina, he did not become king, but underpinned his position. All portuguese and dutch publications refer to Vimaladharmasuriya as Emperor. Refer to the 1602 caption at the bottom of the picture, which states Maharaja. Raja is king, Maharaja is Emperor. <small>—Preceding <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Signatures" title="Wikipedia:Signatures">unsigned</a> comment added by <a href="/w/index.php?title=User:Bebadda&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="User:Bebadda (page does not exist)">Bebadda</a> (<a href="/wiki/User_talk:Bebadda" title="User talk:Bebadda">talk</a> • <a href="/wiki/Special:Contributions/Bebadda" title="Special:Contributions/Bebadda">contribs</a>) <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Vimaladharmasuriya_I#c-Bebadda-2008-01-09T07:43:00.000Z-king_by_marrying" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">07:43, 9 January 2008 (UTC)</a></small><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-Bebadda-2008-01-09T07:43:00.000Z-king_by_marrying"><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">[</span><a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">]</span><!--__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2008-01-09T07:43:00.000Z","author":"Bebadda","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-Bebadda-2008-01-09T07:43:00.000Z-king_by_marrying","replies":["c-Taprobanus-2008-01-09T17:13:00.000Z-Bebadda-2008-01-09T07:43:00.000Z"]}}--></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-Bebadda-2008-01-09T07:43:00.000Z-king_by_marrying"></span> </p> <dl><dd><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-Taprobanus-2008-01-09T17:13:00.000Z-Bebadda-2008-01-09T07:43:00.000Z"></span>Please update it to reflect what ever citations that you are using agrees with.

It is because of all these problems that it took me several years to fully understand all the complexities and arrive at the article. Your editors removed it saying it was breaching copyright, when it was not. I was asked to send an e-mail allowing its use and I did, then I have now being asked to donate it? I need a degree to be able to jump through all the hoops on your web site. I am not going to write the article again for it to be deleted again by someone else.

There is no evidence to support this. This is what most Sinhalese buddhists believe, but one must be careful because many Sri Lankan rulers have been Hindu or Catholic, but patronized Buddhism for political convenience. It must be noted that although Sinhalese popularly want to make Vimaladharmasuriya their Sinhala buddhist champion, the Emperor himself allowed Portuguese Catholic priests to remain in Kandy and they were responsible for educating his children. I am a Sinhalese buddhist, and not a Catholic, but on balance of probabilities, I would say that it is misleading to determine that he renounced Catholicism in favour of Buddhism. Also note that his children were baptized. Kumarasimha was baptized Xaviar Kumara Banda. See The historic tragedy of the island of Ceilão (html).

So if you have a citation that supports your point of view you can add <i>That monarch Vimaladharmasuriya I (we avoid epithets like Emperor and Kings because this is an encyclopedia and we can always find someone questioning it. <a href="/wiki/Aryacakravarti" class="mw-redirect" title="Aryacakravarti">Aryacakravartis</a> called them as Emperors too, but how many will believe it even if Rajavaliya says so ?) is claimed to have renounced his Catholic faith (you cite what ever says that) but during his rule Catholic missionaries were allowed to function within the kingdom and his children were educated by Catholic missionaries (you provide the citation).</i>This is how you write a balanced sentence following <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:NPOV" class="mw-redirect"
