when we burn original kerosene,it does not get enough oxygen so incomplete combustion takes place. when the kerosene wick is burnt,oxygen is sufficient and combustion is complete.

It is not like that.
You must seen the lamps that use kerosene as the fuel. The kerosene burns with yellow flame. This phenomenon occurs due to partial combustion of kerosene. Due to lack of oxygen, kerosene doesn't burn completely and hence gives yellow flame..
But in a wick stove, complete combustion of kerosene takes place. The wick stove has a perforated cylinder that is placed around the wicks. Constant supply of oxygen is assured and hence kerosene burns with a blue flame
