[edit] The Ancestors of JR Jayawardene

On February 14, 1815, a British division entered Kandy and took possession of the city and Ehelepola as sent to capture the king who had by then fled the city for safety. His hiding place was soon discovered at a place closer to Meda Mahanuwara in Kandy.

The party consisted of John D'Oyly, Capt. Hardy, Major Lionel C. Hooke, Ehelepola Nilame, Pilimatalawe Dissawa, Don Andryas Wijesinha Jayawardena Tamby Mudaly, Mudaliyar Dias Abeysingha, Ekneligoda Nilame, the Mohottalas Kawdumune, Kurandumune, Torawature, Delwala, Mahawalatenna and others.

[edit] Explanation of the changes and deletions made on 25 Aug

• The previous version was too long, contained information that was not relevant to a (short) biographical article on JR Jayewardene and was not NPOV. Have made deletions and changes to try and clean it up -- 206.165.217.125 11:20, 25 August 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Discussion text in article

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)
