Greetings, WikiProject Bangladesh! I've been cleaning up a number of Bangladeshi film articles in recent days and I keep coming across claims that certain movies were "superhits". At first I thought this was just a subjective opinion on the part of an editor, but I've also been encountering the phrase, "it was declared a superhit." In fact, if you look at the page for Apu Biswas, her filmography includes classifications of the "hit" status of her movies: average hit, hit, superhit, etc.
My question is: is this just a subjective piece of Bangladeshi (or more broadly, Bengali) film terminology, or is there some trade organization in Bangladesh that actually certifies these movies as hits, superhits, etc? I ask this because I want to know if claims that a movie was a "superhit" are subjective opinions (which I would think should be deleted from the articles where they appear) or if this is a more objective statement. Thank you to anyone who can clear this up for me. Tigercompanion25 (talk) 22:24, 16 October 2015 (UTC)
User:SheriffIsInTown is going around Bangladesh-related articles and removing anything he considers "anti-Pakistan". This includes replacing the accepted facts of the 1971 Bangladesh genocide. I'm currently too preoccupied with real life issues to monitor his every move, but someone has to take note of his extensive POV-pushing.--Akbar the Great (talk) 09:04, 6 January 2016 (UTC)
You are invited to join the discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard#Standard offer request for Bazaan. Thanks. Worldbruce (talk) 18:00, 13 January 2016 (UTC)
I wonder if there is a technical solution to this problem. A page was recently removed from a category that I believe has real-world importance as a resource, and I've started a discussion at Talk:Centre_for_Law_and_Mediation_(Bangladesh)#NGO, not built by political parties. Now I wonder how to find out what other pages might have been removed from that category. Does anyone know of tools that could help? I believe that if a category is added to one's watch list, the only changes that appear are actual edits to the category encoding, that pages added to the category or removed will not be listed. Perhaps, of course, the real problem is that wikipedia categories are too flaky to be relied on in the real world, and we need to set up List of NGOs in Bangladesh instead. Sminthopsis84 (talk) 14:14, 23 February 2016 (UTC)
So I've made a small start on List of non-governmental organizations in Bangladesh with much more to come as I have time. Perhaps it can co-exist with the category: the category provides some interlinking between the various pages, and the list provides a way to monitor these matters. It turns out that it is automatically linked from Template:Asia_topic, called from the lists that exist for other countries. Ideas about how it can be better integrated into this project would be welcome. Also, if an administrator sees this, could the page be pre-emptively partial protected? Judging by the number of talk pages of anons that link to the lists for other countries, this will be prone to spurious changes from IPs. Sminthopsis84 (talk) 13:53, 25 February 2016 (UTC)
I recently noticed a link to a new resource, in a WP:TWL newsletter or similar page.

Hi all, I'm planning to propose a poster for Wikiproject Bangladesh in the upcoming Wikimania. By default, the poster template requires a logo for the project so I initially requested Aftab to create this. I'd like some opinions on this whether I should use it or not / if you have a cool idea please feel free to share. Best, ~ Nahid Talk 18:06, 1 March 2016 (UTC)
Please comment at Talk:1971 Bangladesh genocide#RfC: Addition of sourced content about violence against Biharis and different points of view about figures of people killed and women raped / Removal of unsourced content Sheriff | ☎ 911 | 16:25, 18 April 2016 (UTC)
The above users belongs to a club of Pakistani POV pushers, who wants to show that Pakistan Army were the good guys and Mukti Bahini were the bad guys. They are working together to promote preposterous theories sourced from Pakistani websites and Pakistani writers. Pakistan Army came to rescue the Bihari women from being raped by Mukti Bahini, Indian Army and Mukti Bahini were involved in mass rapes.
Mass removal of content, large scale POV pushing to make Wikipedia look like a Pakistani encyclopaedia. They are spreading their propaganda all over Bangladesh related articles, Rape during the Bangladesh Liberation War, 1971 Bangladesh genocide, Bangladesh Liberation War, Mukti Bahini. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 121.100.143.211 (talk) 04:54, 20 April 2016 (UTC)

Do we want to have this discussion indexed so that it shows up in google searches, as it does now? I was just advised at Wikipedia:Village_pump_(technical) that this can probably be turned off if we wish, see Wikipedia:Controlling search engine indexing. For example, a search just now for "What is a "superhit" and who gets to make that judgment?" turned up a link to this page, as well as a broken link to a site that appears to have scraped the contents of this page.

Hi,I recently joined wikipedia and would like to know how to get started to editing articles in details and where to find the articles to edit.I believe this is a problem for many newcomers like me,specially from Bangladesh.A thread should be started on how to get started on wikipedia for people in Bangladesh. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Raiyan24r (talk • contribs) 15:09, 1 September 2016 (UTC)
Dear Bangladesh experts: I moved this article from Draft space to the main encyclopedia. I am not familiar with the forms of names in Bangladesh; can someone check to see if the surnames need to be changed? Thanks.—Anne Delong (talk) 16:41, 11 September 2016 (UTC)
![]() Hello, |
Hi, I've been working with an editor, Soshuvo who's focused on a specific singer from Bangladesh, Sania Sultana Liza, and related articles. The initial article was extremely promotional, reading more like a promo than an article. They are very resistant to changes from others, reverting back to versions with lots of WP:PUFFERY language or that use very stilted grammar. The past couple of days we were in an edit over an ((ExcessiveCitations)) tag on a specific section. They've got six citations for an album name and release date, and 6 other citations for another small claim. That small article has 39 references which is starting to get into attempted SEO territory. The editor does not communicate at all. They have slightly modified their editing style after I would leave a very direct message on their talk page, but never responded to anything. On this tag issue, they haven't responded at all and ended up blocked for 3RR violation. I strongly suspect that will continue, so I'm asking for someone who may be able to help and guide this editor. I'd also love it if someone could review the citations in the article and cut down on number a bit. The sources are all in Bengali and I don't trust Google Translate. The editor is also running afoul of image copyrights on commons, uploading multiple images used in the Liza and related articles and either claiming them as their own work or saying they were freely licensed. I left them a message about this, pointing out that some of their images could be uploaded here as fair use, but others couldn't. Help in better explaining that would also be appreciated. Thank you!

Hi everyone, I'm looking to join this WikiProject as a student editor. I want to rewrite/revise the article "Bangladesh textile industry." I think a major issue with this article is its current structure and believe that serious restructuring will be needed to keep the flow chronological and organized. At the same time, I'd also like to talk about the cultural and societal effects of the industry. I was wondering if anyone had any thoughts about my editing the article or ideas for restructuring. Thanks! Trs6 (talk) 21:35, 25 September 2016 (UTC)
Hello, I made an edit request a few weeks ago under this IP address, 121.214.150.187 on the Bengalis Wikipedia page, if you'd like to, could you go and have a look at it, thanks. (121.214.60.149 (talk) 05:27, 7 October 2016 (UTC))

I've noticed that Cannabis in India gets a lot of pageviews, so I made a simple start of Cannabis in Bangladesh. Can anyone, particularly those able to read Bengali news and book sources, help to build this article further? Goonsquad LCpl Mulvaney (talk) 07:42, 15 November 2016 (UTC)
Hi WP:BANGLADESH. Would someone mind taking a look at Sakuchia Badiuzzaman Dakhil Madrasah to see if it satisfies the notability requirements for a stand-alone article, It was created about a week ago, and it is only supported by a single citation to what looks like a business listing. The article has already been prodded for deletion once and is likely going to end up at WP:AFD if better sourcing cannot be shown to exist. If anyone can help improve the article or know where better sources can be found, please post a comment on the article's talk page. -- Marchjuly (talk) 07:23, 6 December 2016 (UTC)
Greetings WikiProject Bangladesh/Archive 6 Members!
This is a one-time-only message to inform you about a technical proposal to revive your Popular Pages list in the 2016 Community Wishlist Survey that I think you may be interested in reviewing and perhaps even voting for:
If the above proposal gets in the Top 10 based on the votes, there is a high likelihood of this bot being restored so your project will again see monthly updates of popular pages.
Further, there are over 260 proposals in all to review and vote for, across many aspects of wikis.
Thank you for your consideration. Please note that voting for proposals continues through December 12, 2016.
Best regards, Stevietheman — Delivered: 17:54, 7 December 2016 (UTC)

The article is written based on the information given in the references around 23 days ago. It is still in review stage since it can be promoted to draft stage after review. Any review effort will be greatly appreciated.- User:Ysp2015 —Preceding undated comment added 07:20, 12 December 2016 (UTC)
I believe that the Bengali form of the name Samir, given in that article as সামির, was misspelled. I did some research and changed it, correctly I believe, to সমীর. But although I am a linguist I don't know Bangla, and this should be checked by someone who does. Please see Talk:Samir#Bengali spelling for discussion. --Thnidu (talk) 21:24, 18 March 2016 (UTC)
Yes.It's সামির not সমীর.Hindi pronunciation of Bengali names are a bit different. ThisisAHNAF (talk) 17:00, 18 December 2016 (UTC)

Category:Schools in Bangladesh and List of schools in Bangladesh are useful containers for other categories and lists, but are too broad for individual schools. If the list were expanded to include every school in Bangladesh (as its hatnote encourages) the page would be too large for Wikipedia.
Category:Schools in Bangladesh by district is a more manageable subcategory, but its use is incomplete and inconsistent. So far it has subcategories for only 10 of the 64 districts. I plan to create additional "Schools in ___ District" categories as needed. Half of the subcategories have the word "District" in their name. The other half do not, even though they contain schools throughout their district, not just in the district town. To make clear the scope of the sub-national school categories, I propose to rename them to include the word "District" (for example Category:Schools in Bogra → Category:Schools in Bogra District).
Similarly, I propose gradually spliting List of schools in Bangladesh into separate lists of schools by district until the national list is just a list of district-level lists. These improvements are intended make Bangladesh's school categories and lists more practical and more like those in other countries, such as Category:Schools in England and List of schools in England. --Worldbruce (talk) 02:25, 7 March 2017 (UTC)
Comments would be welcome at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Hassanal Abdullah (2nd nomination). Is this a significant Bangladeshi poet, or a vanity-promotion attempt?

An edit request over at the main Bangladesh article is awaiting review. jd22292 (Jalen D. Folf) (talk) 16:46, 8 August 2017 (UTC)
An editor recently moved a large number of long-standing cricket biographies from article space to draft space. They did so because they felt the articles were poorly referenced. Part way through moving them, they sought, and received, approval for the move in a discussion that was not publicized to WikiProjects Cricket or Bangladesh. Since then there have been several threads at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Cricket discussing rescuing at least some of the pages and returning them to article space.
More than 100 of the remaining drafts are Bangladeshi cricketers. The next-largest group are Indian cricketers. Most started their careers at least a decade ago. Your assistance in evaluating these drafts and rescuing the ones that can be rescued would be appreciated. If you have access to sources beyond Cricket Archive and ESPNcricinfo, including non-English sources, that would be especially valuable. The effort is being coordinated at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Cricket. --Worldbruce (talk) 06:46, 5 September 2017 (UTC)
Wikipedia doesn't have article on Dudu Miyan, son of Haji Shariatullah, leaders of the Faraizi Movement. The content on him is readily available at http://en.banglapedia.org/index.php?title=Dudu_Miyan. Will be great if someone can find the resources and Draft an Article on him.
