@KrakatoaKatie Why did you suppress it? You should've just let me know about it and I would have removed all the reavealing information about me!! Now I have to create a one again? Please do something. I promise to remove all the reavealing info about me! VidunOriginalezLK (talk) 05:42, 29 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
If you read the links in her message, you would know why the page was removed. I have had to edit your userpage again for the same reason. Please make sure you read through Katie's message and the corresponding links. Primefac (talk) 07:36, 29 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Just to be clear, you should also not give the name of your school or its location. This too would be considered private information. We're doing this for protective reasons. Your safety is very important to us. Risker (talk) 08:19, 29 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Risker Thanks brother, but if you take a look at the userpage of @Chanakal, it says he studies/studied at University of Cardiff in the UK. I removed the location of my school in my Userpage article, but the name of the school is still visible on the Userbox. I think it won't be a threat to my privacy. VidunOriginalezLK (talk) 11:37, 30 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Can you explain what did mean by "I have experience editing Wikipedia since 2022 but unfortunately my recent account got suppressed". What are your previous accounts? Chanaka L (talk)12:32, 30 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
You've mixed up two separate things, I guess. Suppressing a page means the usual editors won't be able to see the difference between edits. That's because you are a minor, I suppose. Heed the instructions given by Katie and Primefac. They are senior editors and they meant well.
What I am interested in is your editing history. You are saying you've been editing since 2022. But your previous account was created on 15 July 2024, and it is this account Katie suppressed not the other account, right? So how do you explain the inconsistencies.
@Chanakal You are right, the account in the link I sent you was created on July 15, 2024. After you sent me a message on talk, I sent you the first old account I could find. But I am 100% sure that I created an account in 2022. I searched for that link for a while, but I could not find it. I apologize to you for that.
And I am also seeking the advice of senior editors. I also request you, if any of the junior Wikipedia editors like me have added anything that threatens our security on their user pages, please inform us about it on talk instead of suppressing our user page. Also, if you think that adding my school to this is a threat to my security, please inform me again on talk. (*I have another small question for you. Are you currently in Sri Lanka? Are you a Sinhalese citizen? ) Thank you sir. VidunOriginalezLK (talk) 13:51, 30 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
So, you are saying you edited under another account since 2022 to 2024 and you are revealing this only after I questioned? Whoa! You need to read WP:MULTIPLE.
You need to understand suppressing edit history of your page is not a bad thing. Administrators do this for your safety. Bear with them.
@Chanakal Do you recommend removing my school from the user page?
And I understand why you don't want to let me know where you are currently at. Also, if there are any shortcomings in my userpage and the edits I make or anything that hinders/threatens my security, I request you to inform me about it through talk. I should tell you something else though, after knowing that you are a Sinhalese citizen, I felt a great relief about editing Wikipedia. I think you will inform me about my mistakes/shortcomings whether you are in the UK or Sri Lanka.
YES, you should not be including the name of your school or its location on your userpage. There is a big difference between a post-secondary educational institution, where almost all students are adults, and what is obviously a school in which almost all students are minors. I am removing it again; please do not re-add. Risker (talk) 14:42, 30 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Risker Ok! I was gonna remove it if someone told me I should remove it.But since you removed it (*that works too) Also let me know if there are any other stuff that're threats to my privacy.
In follow-up of your question above, at the very minimum your account must be active for at least 90 days, and you must have at least 500 non-deleted edits to the article space. This is a bare minimum, and usually it is only granted to those who have more experience with article editing. There is more information available here.

A tag has been placed on Wikipedia:Vidun Nethmira, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, group, product, service, person, or point of view and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Organizations for more information.
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay.

Hello VidunOriginalezLK, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia.
While your contributions are appreciated, I wanted to let you know that I've started a discussion about whether an article that you created, Wild Cookbook (Youtuber), should be deleted, as I am not sure that it is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia in its current form. Your comments are welcome at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Wild Cookbook (Youtuber).
Deletion discussions usually run for seven days and are not votes. Our guide about effectively contributing to such discussions is worth a read. The most common issue in these discussions is notability, but it's not the only aspect that may be discussed; read the nomination and any other comments carefully before you contribute to the discussion. Last but not least, you are highly encouraged to continue improving the article; just be sure not to remove the tag about the deletion nomination from the top.
If you have any questions, please leave a comment here and prepend it with {{Re|DoctorWhoFan91}}. And don't forget to sign your reply with ~~~~ . Thanks!

They are not secondary sources- per WP: Notability, atleast two detailed, independent and secondary reliable sources are needed for a topic to have an article. (That's why I WP:PRODed it just now- but I have never done so before, so I wasn't familiar with the lack of explanation the tag would have). DoctorWhoFan91 (talk) 13:38, 1 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Wikipedia only has articles about topic which other sources have written about. The sources used in the article are related to the channel itself. And searching on the internet, the only sources which mention it mostly just mention the name, which is not enough detailed enough for an article. DoctorWhoFan91 (talk) 13:47, 1 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Chanakal What do you mean he should mind his language? He hasn't said anything BAD has he? (Tf doesn't refer to The F***! but to True or False according to him.) And I'm pretty sure he has read Wikipedia Guidelines since he had already made over 130 edits since 19th January LankanLionUC (talk) 16:44, 1 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Chanakal It's true it's not related to me since I've recently joined Wikipedia. But I was reading an Wikipedia article of Wild Cookbook (Youtuber) and I decided to check out who recently edited it. When I went to @VidunOriginalezLK's talk page (*which he linked to on his user page) I found out that an Bisexual editor was trying to remove it! (*no offense to the LGBTQ community 😒)
I'll reply to the biphobia later(seeing that it relates to editor conduct, plus your conduct in general is bad), but what I'm wondering is how you found the article- as it does not show on google search or wikipedia search yet? DoctorWhoFan91 (talk) 17:20, 1 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@LankanLionUC:(Tf doesn't refer to The F***! but to True or False according to him.) Not only that doesn't make any sense in the context of sentence but the account has not made such a clarification at all. How do you know that is what they meant when they have not said anything? -UtoD19:24, 1 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
WP:MULTIPLE- you shouldn't make multiple accounts without good reason. Also, question- any ideas on who the blocked user LankanLionUC might be- as they appeared out of nowhere on an article which does not show up in google or Wikipedia search? DoctorWhoFan91 (talk) 11:56, 2 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Could I ask how you two know each other- as you are a new editor? Also any reasons why you, VidunOriginalezLK and the above blocked user have similar user pages(as well as similar edit summaries and writing style)? DoctorWhoFan91 (talk) 13:24, 2 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@DoctorWhoFan91 No, I have met @VidunOriginalezLK, before I signed into Wikipedia when I travelled in Sri Lanka. I'm a solo-traveller, and when I went to a restaurant, I asked the receptionist/cashier, what she would recommend, She said Rs 1,500!. I asked a local family, and they recommend me to have a Kottu Roti. *it was Vidun's family! The two of us quickly became friends (*sometimes he had trouble understanding me because of my accent)…
When I asked Vidun what his hobbies, apart from just going to school 5days a week. He said he recently joined Wikipedia and is excited to become an Administrator. That got me excited too! I joined Wikipedia and finally found Vidun's Userpage.
A receptionist recommended you "Rs 1500", instead of food, and then you befriended a minor as an adult, and also somehow edit in the same style as a just blocked user on his talk page? Right. DoctorWhoFan91 (talk) 14:17, 2 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Chanakal Ha! Ha! You Got me! I'm actually one of Vidun's friends (I'm sorry I wrote an false and probably a DUMB story.) I JUST LOVE MAKING FUN OF OTHER PEOPLE. (*but I'm not so sure wheather Vidun is aware of it or not) And btw, I didn't join Wikipedia to edit articles and become an Administrator unlike @VidunOriginalezLK. I joined Wikipedia, because Vidun told me to join and try it out! But it's not really my thing anyways! ARE YOU GUYS GONNA BLOCK ME OR SOMETHING?IchLander-Roveria (talk) 15:31, 2 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Chanakal Hey Chanakal! Now I'm Blocked from Wikipedia because of this whole sockpuppet thing. I came here to sort out this mess.
First of all, you should know that I've had more than two Wikipedia accounts recently. Some of them got suppressed or got logged out by me because I wasn't interested with the name. Later, I created @VidunOriginalezLK (*which is now blocked) to edit Wikipedia (I was interested with the name as well) I kept editing Wikipedia like usual until this happened!
I have a LOT of friends at school. One of them is Oshada (who is very interested in computer programming). I told him about Wikipedia and told him to try it out! And he said he signed in with the user name @LankanLionUC. But it got blocked/suppressed because of Hate speech or something (according to Oshada). He said that after LankanLionUC got blocked, he created a new userpage named - @IchLander-Roveria. Oshada loves Germany. His future ambition is also to work in some private company there. (He said he learned some German on Duolingo) So, he made his userpage & userboxes look like they're based in Germany. And he said that he copy-pasted some of my Wikitext parameters and changed some quotes to German and changed the width of them as well. I'm pretty sure he copy-pasted some of my Userbox templates as well. When he send me Remember Me? on talk, he was at my house. That's why I replied to it that fast!
• I sincerely apologize for Oshada's behavior. He said that he wasn't very interested with Wikipedia because he either gets blocked or suppressed for some reason. But I AM still interested in Wikipedia and will continue my work. I'm hoping to log-out and sign in again with a different username at 17:00 SLST. And I still apologize for Oshada's and my mischievous behavior.
So it's meatpuppetry at best, which is unlikely given the similar editing style, and you still lied by saying that you did remember roveria while not saying anything about LLUC ". Do not create more sockpuppets. Also, not how you make unblock requests- read the text and links below describing how unblock requests are made. DoctorWhoFan91 (talk) 10:32, 3 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I was willing to trust you, but I am afraid not anymore.
I don't believe this Oshada-story either. I am not sure any administrator would buy that.
Do not create anymore accounts please. Let me repeat it again, do not create anymore accounts. If I suspect you ignored my advise and created one, I am afraid, I am gonna report such accounts.
@Chanakal You're right! I've been a big trouble to all of you. But Oshada and his story are completely true. Whether you believe it or not is your personal decision. But I don't understand why you're telling me not to create another account. Because instead of spending most of my time watching TV after finishing my homework and schoolwork, I'm editing Wikipedia. Go and look at my edit history. Almost all of the edits I've made are legitimate edits (although there were some issues with them, I resolved them through talk with the relevant editors).
I joined Wikipedia after carefully studying the relevant guidelines, etc. Yes, I may have violated them in some of my edits. But everyone makes mistakes. And I apologize for them.
I respectfully and kindly request you to give me one more chance. Just one. I promise not to tell my school friends about this unnecessarily and to protect all Wikipedia guidelines. If you find any illegal activity on that account too, block me. No problem! I will end my Wikipedia editing journey from there. But I am not ready for that yet. Please @Chanakal, I'm begging you to give me one more (JUST ONE) chance. If you don't trust me, check my Userpage, my Talk Page and my editing history every day. I have no objection. 😣 VidunOriginalezLK (talk) 11:08, 3 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
You shouldn't create anymore accounts because it is against our policies, see WP:MULTIPLE, this is the third time it is mentioned to you in this talk page. You have not bothered to take a couple of minutes to read and understand it. I am not an admin, therefore, I cannot unblock you. If I was a one, I only unblock you only after you demonstrate you understand above mentioned policies. Chanaka L (talk)11:28, 3 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I sincerely apologize for my actions that led to this block. I now fully understand the policies regarding multiple accounts, especially the importance of transparency and proper disclosure. I acknowledge that failing to mention my alternate accounts on my user page was a mistake, and I regret any confusion or disruption this may have caused.
I want to assure you that my intent was never to deceive or engage in disruptive behavior. I now recognize the importance of clearly stating alternate accounts and will strictly follow all Wikipedia policies moving forward.
I kindly ask for a second chance to contribute constructively to Wikipedia. If unblocked, I will ensure full compliance with all guidelines, including properly declaring any alternate accounts and adhering to best practices.
I deeply value Wikipedia and the community’s trust, and I regret any issues my actions may have caused. I appreciate your time and consideration.
I know you are not an administrator. But I can't appeal from other Admins because I'm blocked. I kindly ask you to let an Admin know about this.
You have been told again and again that you must make unblock request as mentioned below in "February 2025", in order for an admin to see it. You have been told again and again about the policies, yet you do not read them and engage in meat/sockpuppetry. Do not edit this topic again, make an unblock request to the admins as mentioned in the text and links below in "February 2025". (also while we are it, tell your "friend" to not engage in hate speech in real life either) DoctorWhoFan91 (talk) 12:08, 3 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Chanakal On WP:MULTIPLE it doesn't say I can't create another account. I know you've already mentioned it three times and I'm not so sure wheather you'll reply to this saying I shouldn't create another account as well. But what I'm trying to say is give me another chance. Have some humanity. I'm probably not the only minor who got blocked like this. But I want to edit Wikipedia.Yes, I'm not getting paid. But so do you. We all contribute to Wikipedia to give others knowledge and to update the only free encyclopedia.
So, @Chanakal, please give me another chance. I promise to respect & follow all Wikipedia Guidlines etc. Yes, I have revealed my friend's name. But it's not his FULL NAME. I have only revealed a Part of my name (But my full name is unfortunately visible because on my sockpuppet page, someone has added the name of one of my recent accounts, which reveals my full name. I logged out of it because one of administrators told me not to add my full name. I could've asked a Renamer to rename account, but I've made only a few edits on that previous account)
@Chanakal Oh, so now you're not even replying to me! What did I do to make everyone so mad? Kill a person!!?? NO! I'm crying right now because when I take a look at my accounts history, I remember all those times, when I came home from school, and happily edited Wikipedia. But now it's all gone. Even if I created a new account, I won't be able to create a Userpage 'cause I'm blocked! And admins say, it will NOT EXPIRE!! Maybe I have done something wrong. And I apologize for 'em. And I think you should read WP:BRICKS as well, to see what I'm talking about.
But there's no point.You're NOT AN ADMIN. So, you can't unblock me. And the admins don't even read what I say 'cause they've got NO HUMANITY! Well, I guess this is it @Chanakal. You won't have to see me ever again. My Wikipedia editing journey is over now. But if you can, please send me at least one reply.
@VidunOriginalezLK:: You are not allowed to reveal the names of other editors regardless of this person is real or not. You have already posted too much of your identifiable information into wikipedia to the point it had to be suppressed. Its not really hard for a person on the internet to track you down and find where you live, contact your family or release information of what you are doing in wikipedia to others, and through your details, your friend could be tracked as well. So if this person is real and doesn't know what you are doing you are violating his privacy as well. There is no way you are going to unblocked with this level of immaturity, WP:COMPETENCE rule exists because of this. -UtoD16:18, 3 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Please read WP:CIRNOT and WP:BRICKS. We all make mistakes. And I've only revealed a part of his name. Not his full name. You'll see many Sri Lankan editors (even admins) reveal a part of their name. Yes, maybe I have revealed some of my other private info. about me as well. That's why I told you to read WP:BRICKSVidunOriginalezLK (talk) 04:03, 4 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
WP:MULTIPLE is crystal clear about this. It states Because policies apply to individuals, not accounts, blocked or banned users must not use sock puppets to circumvent a block; doing so will result in an extension of the block or ban. If you are having a hard time understanding the reason of your blocking, I am afraid, I don't see an admin will have a cause to unblock you. DWF91 instructed you on how to request an unblock. Are you ignoring them out of prejudice or are you having difficulties comprehending their instructions as well? Chanaka L (talk)05:35, 4 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Chanakal I've already requested an unblock. But @UtoD says Admins won't unblock me because I'm immature. Because I revealed one of my friend's names. You should know, many editors, even admins add a part of their name as their Username. And I've only revealed a part of my friend's name.Not his full name. I think all of you should read WP:CIRNOT and WP:BRICKSVidunOriginalezLK (talk) 05:40, 4 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Yes I have requested for an Un-block. I deeply regret my past mistakes and sincerely apologize to the Wikipedia community. I now fully understand the impact of my actions and how they violated Wikipedia's trust. I am not here to disrupt but to contribute meaningfully. Everyone deserves a chance to learn and improve, and I ask for one final opportunity to prove that I can be a positive and responsible editor. Please consider giving me a last chance to show my commitment to Wikipedia’s values.
Sigh. I am giving up on you. I told you not to use AI, and you just ignored me. Quillbot says this bit "I deeply regret my past mistakes and sincerely apologize to the Wikipedia community. I now fully understand the impact of my actions and how they violated Wikipedia's trust. I am not here to disrupt but to contribute meaningfully.

I am not wasting my time here anymore. Best of luck, Chanaka L (talk)06:20, 4 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I half believe now that you're just trolling, but I will try to assume good faith for the last time. As it says in "February 2025", appeal this block by first reading the guide to appealing blocks, then add the text "{{unblock|Your reason here ~~~~}}" below in "February 2025", and replace "your reason here" with your reason.
