[edit] Pavel Dolgoruki

Thank you for the article on Pavel. Do you have any source which names his parents? I am interested to see if we can connect him to some of the other Dolgorukovs. Wjhonson 23:38, 7 February 2006 (UTC)

My source was Dolgorukov's obits in the British press in '27. Alas, parents were not mentioned. But I am pretty sure, going by the patronymic, that his dad was called Dmitri Dolgorukov!!! --Peripatetic 01:26, 8 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Ian McEwan

Please don't just copy web pages, as you have just done for Ian McEwan. They are almost always unusable in Wikipedia terms, and have to be deleted for copyright reasons. As you see, we already have a McEwan page. You are welcome to edit that, but please note the copyright warning appearing below the edit box.

[edit] Band Music

Welcome to wikipedia. We have been writing on different topics related to Bangladesh. It would be great if you write about the band profiles. However, please do not COPY from other websites. Just rephrase contents. Also put proper category tags at the end so we can look into them in an organized manner. Finally, thanks for your efforts. --Ragib 21:15, 22 Mar 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Re: Directory-fication of Bangladeshi topics

Thanks for your idea. This is good. I have also been trying to persuade more people into working on Wikipedia's Bangladesh/Bangla related articles, with almost no success. After my initial posts, I even had to revert a spate of vandalism from some people, who created a mess. Anyway, I like the idea of a directory, and I think the best way to organize things would be to use the page Wikipedia:WikiProject Bangladesh page. We can list articles there, and also have a to-do section of articles, requested articles etc. I think there are now 3-4 people regularly writing articles on Bangladesh, so co-ordinating should not be a big problem. This being summer, I can and regularly do devote a lot of time to wikipedia, and I can do 3-5 articles per week. Let's have the list of Bangladesh related articles in the wikiproject page first, I'll add what I find there, then we can sort, categorize etc. Thanks once again for participating in wikipedia. --Ragib 11:12, 26 May 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Voting for Biography collaboration of the week

Hi, the article Sheikh Hasina has been nominated for voting at "Biography collaboration of the week". What this will do is that for a week, people of the team would contribute to make the article enriched, balanced and complete. Since this is an article about a Bangladeshi politician and a rich article would promote Bangladesh more, I think regardless of political beliefs we can vote for it. Even if you are opposed to her political ideology, you can be sure that both her positive and negative sides would be presented in a Collaboration of the week article. Please vote at Wikipedia:Biography Collaboration of the Week#Sheikh Hasina .28July_21.29 by signing your name with # ~~~~ . Thanks. --Ragib 04:22, 24 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Thanks for the vote, if you know any other interested person, spread the message, the vote would conclude in 2 days, so we need some more votes to have it chosen. Thanks. --Ragib 07:58, 24 Jun 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Districts of Bangladesh

Please check out task 6 and 7 on the Bangladesh Project page. Help us out if you have time. Thanks. -- Urnonav 9 July 2005 12:29 (UTC)

I started a discussion on the common format for District articles in Talk:Districts of Bangladesh. Please participate in the discussion and add your ideas. Thanks. --Ragib 00:14, 17 July 2005 (UTC)

Ok, I finished creating articles on all 64 districts, added a navigation template to almost all, and have inserted the standard sections to most of them. Now is the time for some other volunteers to insert information into them, may be taking stats/info from Banglapedia and paraphrasing that. You can start by taking over any articles from the nav template at Template:Subdivisions of Bangladesh. --Ragib 06:49, 22 July 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Copyvios

The copyvios aren't minor they are entire sentences and paragpahs of text, the page must be deleted since they were there when you put the page into Wikipedia. Rewrite a clean version on the temp page.--nixie 23:58, 18 July 2005 (UTC)

I'm not sure where you stand on intellectual honesty, but the article is mostly a paraphrase of the ODNB entry. The copyvio policy is not mine its wikipedias. This is the worst example.

Your text:

Brydon was awarded medals for his service in Jalalabad, Kabul, Burma, and Lucknow. In 1858, he was appointed a Companion of the Bath. The following year, he retired from the service of the Company with the rank of surgeon-general, and settled down in the Scottish Highlands. He died in 1873 at the age of 61 in his home in Westfield, Ross-shire. His wife, Colina Maxwell Brydon, survived him.

ODNB:

Brydon was awarded medals for his service in Jalalabad, Kabul, Burma, and Lucknow, and in 1858 was appointed a companion of the Bath. In the following year he retired from the Indian service. He settled in the highlands of Scotland, and in 1862 became honorary surgeon to the Highland rifle militia. He died at his home, Westfield House, Nigg, Ross-shire, on 20 March 1873, and was buried in the same month at the Rosemarkie burial-ground. His wife, Colina Maxwell Brydon, survived him. --nixie 00:10, 19 July 2005 (UTC)

If someone has one of my sources and reads my article and can see where I've just reorganised the word order, I think thats pretty clearly plagarism. There is however no policy on plagarism, and it is not a clear copyvio since some ofhte text is not in the ODNB entry (I don't have easy access to the other sources to check them). I think you should rewrite anything that you know is a bit too close the the original phrasing, but otherwise it's OK to take down the copyvio notice.--nixie 23:02, 19 July 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Lionel Davidson

Hi there.. just wanted to ask about the recent change to the Davidson article.. might I ask your source for the Kingston on Hull reference? --Peripatetic 20:11, 26 July 2005 (UTC)

I'm doing disambiguation link repair. If you check into the link in my edit comments, you'll see the project I'm working on. The basic idea is that we don't want links pointing to disambiguation pages as much as possible, but rather we want them pointing to the real page for what they reference. In the specific case, I was working through all articles that point to "Hull". Many were references to ship hulls. Many were to the city Hull, Yorkshire, England. A few were to a former city named Hull in Quebec.

For the Hull in Yorkshire, from the Hull Disambiguation page, the correct link is actually titled Kingston on Hull. I have no idea why it's called that, but that's the correct page for that city. And the Lionel Davidson page was obviously referring to that Hull, so I updated the link.

So in the end, no external source, but extending information already in the Davidson and Hull Disambiguation pages to properly execute the project to improve Wikepedia. TexasAndroid 21:21, 26 July 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Wikipedia:WikiProject Cricket

Hi

I see you've been editing cricket-related articles recently. Have you see the Cricket WikiProject yet? It's a group of cricket-loving Wikipedians who use the WikiProject both to collaborate and to highlight to others what they're doing. You'd be more than welcome to sign up and join, jguk 19:17, 27 August 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Muzaffar Ahmed

It seems you started the article on Dr Muzaffar Ahamed. I might be interested in working on this article, but I'm not sure which Muzaffar Ahamed this is. Is this the curent Chairman of National Awami Party (Bangladesh) or am I totally off the mark here? Then again, he's not a professor at IBA, although that's the first Muzaffar Ahmed that comes to my mind. Thanks,

Urnonav 08:28, 1 September 2005 (UTC)

Yeah there is NAP neta Muzaffar Ahmed. And then there is economist Muzaffar Ahmed. The two are different. I don't know too much myself about the first one. The second one is an economist and university professor. If you can find any info, you could do both! --Peripatetic 08:36, 1 September 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Mohiner Ghoraguli

I'm sorry, but I myself know very little about the old band (though I remember winning points at a quiz by identifying a song as have been sung by MG). You can try [2] for album cover, though it's rather small. Incidentally, I've been hunting around quite long for the song "Prithibita Naki Chhoto Hote Hote Satellite Ar Cable-er hate" but can't seem to get it. If you have it then can you send it to me? You are also welcome to contribute to the Chandrabindu article. Loom91 17:10, 4 September 2005 (UTC)

My e-mail address is loom91@yahoo.com, you can just attach it. Thanks. Loom91 17:48, 4 September 2005 (UTC)

Recieved it properly. Thank you very much. I believe Krosswindz perform this song nowdays, right? Loom91 18:10, 4 September 2005 (UTC)

[edit] unsourced image

Please provide source information for Image:LIONEL.gif or it is likely to be deleted. The Uninvited Co., Inc. 22:14, 19 September 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Unsourced images

You have many images listed as being un-sourced. See User:Pearle/by-author-Category:Images_with_unknown_source.txt for a nice, wikified list of them. (Search for your name). If you do not add a source, they will probably all be deleted really soon(as in, people are deleting images in this category - RIGHT NOW). JesseW, the juggling janitor 09:19, 21 September 2005 (UTC)

A lot of those pics are more than 50 yrs old. Mainly because the writers themselves have been dead for longer than that. -- Peripatetic 22:50, 21 September 2005 (UTC)

The critical year is 1923 (See Public domain). That's the general year for things going out of copyright. If you are sure that the subject had died before that date, the picture should be pretty safely assumed to be public domain - of course, a source is still necessary to be sure that the picture does in fact, show the person in question. ;-) But if you can remember where you got any of those pictures, it would be a great help - then the remaining issue would be if we have a legal license to use them. Otherwise they will be deleted, sadly. JesseW, the juggling janitor 17:20, 22 September 2005 (UTC)

[edit] List of cricket books

Just a quick line to say thanks for your suggestion re finding additional titles. I've bookmarked the link and I'll make use of it before long: it might help me track down a couple of titles on my own wants list too! All the best. --Jack 10:41, 25 September 2005 (UTC)

Well, actually I am no authority about Mohin, having joined college in 1998, a year before the new-look Mohin lost steam. At first glance, the facts look consistent, though. You might want to make album pages ?

[edit] Image Tagging Image:Betjbw.jpg

This media may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading Image:Betjbw.jpg. I notice the 'image' page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is therefore unclear. If you have not created this media yourself then you need to argue that we have the right to use the media on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the media yourself then you should also specify where you found it, i.e., in most cases link to the website where you got it, and the terms of use for content from that page.

If the media also doesn't have a copyright tag then you must also add one. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then you can use {{GFDL}} to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media qualifies as fair use, please read fair use, and then use a tag such as {{fairusein|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair_use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other media, please check that you have specified their source and copyright tagged them, too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any unsourced and untagged images will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. -- Longhair 11:57, 1 February 2006 (UTC)
