Identify an author?

[edit]

Vajra Chandrasekera posted this picture on his Instagram; apparently it's a novel that his father wrote, which was successful enough to have four printings. I can't read the title or the author's name (Google Lens refuses to even recognize it as text!), and thus I can't determine whether his father (who he has described in interviews as "a moderately well-known Sri Lankan writer (novels, some short stories) of the 70s and 80s") was independently notable.

Can anyone read that? Thanks. DS (talk) 14:42, 28 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I do not know Sinhalese but based on Chandrasekera's blog the book is පස්වෙනියත් පුතෙක් (Pasvaniyat Putek) by Tilak Chandrasekera. Obi2canibe (talk) 10:35, 29 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Ah, thank you. Should have checked there first. Well, regardless of whether the elder Chandrasekera was notable, he doesn't appear to have received sufficient coverage in English to enable me to research him, much less write about him. Perhaps someone else will do the first of those, if not the second. DS (talk) 14:56, 29 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Women in Green's October 2024 edit-a-thon

[edit]

Hello WikiProject Sri Lanka:

WikiProject Women in Green is holding a month-long Good Article Edit-a-thon event in October 2024!

Running from October 1 to 31, 2024, WikiProject Women in Green (WiG) is hosting a Good Article (GA) edit-a-thon event with the theme Around the World in 31 Days! All experience levels welcome. Never worked on a GA project before? We'll teach you how to get started. Or maybe you're an old hand at GAs – we'd love to have you involved! Participants are invited to work on nominating and/or reviewing GA submissions related to women and women's works (e.g., books, films) during the event period. We hope to collectively cover article subjects from at least 31 countries (or broader international articles) by month's end. GA resources and one-on-one support will be provided by experienced GA editors, and participants will have the opportunity to earn a special WiG barnstar for their efforts.

We hope to see you there!
