සාකච්ඡාව:අ'මෙරිකාවේ එක්සත් රාජ්යයන්
Latest comment: වසර 13කට පෙර by සමන්
"ඇමරිකා එක්සත් ජනපදය" is the most frequently used and known name when refering to United States of America ( USA). So it is not reasonble to show the page title as "අ'මෙරිකාවේ එක්සත් රාජ්යයන්" . May be we can have a "යළියොමුව" in the page "අ'මෙරිකාවේ එක්සත් රාජ්යයන්" and we should move this page to ""ඇමරිකා එක්සත් ජනපදය". සමන් (talk) 13:15, 13 ජනවාරි 2011 (යූටීසී)
- I also agree. But unfortunately some experienced wikipedians are adamant about differentiating these සංවෘත අ and විවෘත අ in Sinhala. For many thousands of years Sinhalese are used to differentiating these two varieties of sounding according to different usages. It was not necessary to differentiating these when you write. As you say we should use the popular usage. Wikipedia is not a Sinhala University teaching Sinhala to Students by Professors. It is a colection of Sinhala resources. In addition I observe some sort of stagnation and lack of development in this article. Further, the author had used one variety of Sinhala in the title another inside the article. Most of the content is English. I wonder whether the article is a candidate for speedy deletion. Thanks. --ශ්වෙත (talk) 13:47, 13 ජනවාරි 2011 (යූටීසී)
- Thanks.I dont think we should delete the article. keeping the article in this status let users serch for this will find it as a page to be improved.( this does not mean that we have to get all english articles on to Si.wiki). But on naming issue that I ve raised, better change it to ""ඇමරිකා එක්සත් ජනපදය"". I find similer sort of complexity with regard to the article අඟහරු. page අඟහරු has to about the the planet අඟහරු (like in en and most other wikis). All other stuff (in my opinion) should be included in the page අඟහරු_(වක්රෝත්තිහරණය) ( like in en and most other wikis). I dont know wt is the step we have to take ( as a community ) to resolve this kind of different viewpoints. therefore I move this discussion also to Admin's page. May be they(or someone from the community) have an idea how to resolve these stuff. Its good that we have these discussions. This add value to our wiki---සමන් (talk) 05:45, 14 ජනවාරි 2011 (යූටීසී)
