[edit] Spelling

Why does this page use throughout Bangla Desh instead of Bangladesh? Neither Bangladesh or History of Bangladesh mentions the use of that spelling? Rmhermen 21:40, Feb 2, 2004 (UTC)

Well, such was how the concert was actually titled. I don't, however, know why it was titled as two words, or what historical significance there is to it, if any. I would suggest that when referring to the name of the concert keep it as two words, but when referring to the country as one. Additionally, to curb confusion, put in an explanation like above. --patton1138 18:30, 21 July 2005 (UTC)

Well, as a Bangladeshi I can answer the "why". Actually the word Bangladesh is formed by the fusing of two words, "Bangla" meaning the region/language and "Desh" meaning country (Like Scot+land). In the initial phases of the Bangladesh Liberation War, the name of the country was written as two words, but in the later phases as well as any time since then, the name is written as a single word. So, if you look at any wartime literature/news report/even postal stamps, you may see the name being written as two words. But any later reference, as well as the wikipedia articles, use the name subsequently used, both officially and unofficially. I agree with you that while referring to the concert, we should keep the name as written by the concert organizers (with a brief explanation note). Thanks. --Ragib 21:56, 21 July 2005 (UTC)

[edit] The Concert For Bangla Desh

For any editors of this page. A user made the page with "Bangla Desh" as linked in the subject here. I just figred I'd let you know since you might have a better idea about merging, etc. than I do. It has a nice album box. gren グレン 16:11, 21 August 2005 (UTC)

No need to merge. Album article can stand on its own. "Bangla Desh" is correct title for album.-Wisekwai 19:10, 12 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] The concert film

I would propose that this article also cover the film. With the release of the DVD, the film/video experience is how a lot of people will relate to this concert. Wisekwai 17:34, 18 June 2006 (UTC)

I have added a bunch of information about the concert film and DVD release. This makes sense to me, because the film/DVD is how folks who didn't make it to the show are going to experience the concert. The album, rightly, has its own separate page, with dab links at top of both articles to refer to each other. And on this page, there's a section dealing the the album, with main link.-Wisekwai 19:10, 12 November 2006 (UTC)
