[edit] help

how can i add an image in an article? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Helix044 (talk • contribs) 11:52, 15 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Proposed format

I have proposed a format for Bengali literature article on its talk page (Talk:Bengali_literature#Proposed_format). Could you please come and express your views and opinions or update this format? Cheers. -- Niaz(Talk • Contribs) 14:17, 15 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Necessity knows no law

Dear Ragib, thanks for arising this issue regarding the images of our Birs. Actually, for a long time there is none images of our birs, so I did that, as a senior editor you can delete those. I do not have any interest to edit articles rather than Bangladehi Article. Relax if possible, or delete if you feel it was wrong. Wish your good luck. --Librarianpmolib (talk) 04:05, 20 March 2008 (UTC)

Couldn't find anything to fill in the blanks for the images. They may have to go till we find a solid solutions. Should I suggest a fair use upload to the Librarian? Aditya(talk • contribs) 08:43, 21 March 2008 (UTC)
I believe fair use would be the only solution until we get permission of the photos. I'm optimistic about that ... Munir bhai has already obtained permission from Prof. Rafiqul Islam to use his famous Language movement photos. I think he is in touch with Matiur Rahman's family, so his photos will also be available. Don't know whether photos of other Bir Sreshthos exist or not ... --Ragib (talk) 08:53, 21 March 2008 (UTC)

I believe that so. By the way, Mr. Munir Hasan is perosnally known to me and he has got the permission to use the photograph of or Language Movement, he donated me a book titled A photographic History of Language Movement (1947-1956). Actually we can share us with a positive view all the time. Please see the list of Bir Uttom, currently I will complete the list of our all birs. In the meanttime I have completed the list of Bir Shreshtho. Keep watch me because I am a younger editor. --Librarianpmolib (talk) 04:21, 24 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Sitakunda Upazila

The article on Sitakunda Upazila has gone for a second peer review. It really needs some merciless review, as I ma trying to deck it up for an FAC as soon as possible. It also needs a thorough copyedit and a request has already been posted to WP:LOCE, but a response still lies firmly in the future. Please, take a look (lend a hand, too, if possible).

[edit] Keshub image and Village Pump thread

Dear Ragib. I have uploaded my concerns to the Village Pump thread, duly noting what Dragon(?) had posted. I have noted u as a "Friendly" and this is the way it shud be plz, as some of the V.Pump (policy) bitterness repel me. Bikash 69.50.160.154 (talk) 05:41, 27 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Image copyrights

I have replied to your image copyright posting at INB and Village pump. In the past, I have found WP:MCQ to be a very useful resource for image copyright queries since it seems to be populated by knowledgeable editors. The issue is pretty straightforward in this particular instance but I am pointing out the link for future reference. Regards. Abecedare (talk) 18:31, 27 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Help

I thought you can help here. I want to use some references for the article Meghna Bridge.

I am especially confused with the first, second and last source. Otolemur crassicaudatus (talk) 01:21, 28 March 2008 (UTC)

Answers are below:

    • Doesn't seem like an RS to me. I mean, this is not any reputable organization ... and I also suspect they copied info off somewhere else.
    • Same as above
    • No idea about this engineering firm.
Sorry to butt in. Nippon Koei apparently has some notability. See this, this, this, this and this. Thanks. Aditya(talk • contribs) 05:11, 28 March 2008 (UTC)
  • Is this RS?
    • Not a well-known columnist or writer.
Sorry again that I butt in. Momtazuddin Bhuiyan apparently has written a book Bangladesh on the Road to Development, and is pretty active in Bangladesh-Japan relations arena. He also is indeed a naval architect. Not much else I could find. Aditya(talk • contribs) 05:16, 28 March 2008 (UTC)
  • Is Banglapedia RS?
    • Banglapedia is definitely very notable. This is a print encyclopedia compiled by the Asiatic Society of Bangladesh, with grants from BD Govt. However, the site you linked to is probably not the real Banglapedia site... that would be www.banglapedia.org . (Since the encyclopedia was also released in digital media, many websites pirated the content). --Ragib (talk) 02:29, 28 March 2008 (UTC)

OK. So I can use Banglapedia. Thanks to you both. Otolemur crassicaudatus (talk) 09:16, 28 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] recent Brahmo Samaj edits

Ragib, your caution is much appreciated. It is nowhere near being (yet) a revert / edit "war", nor is there a content "dispute". There is adequate communication between recent editors at Brahmo Samaj via the edit summaries - not (yet) requiring resort to discussion pages. In the course of providing appropriate (and acceptable) citations, there are bound to be differences between editors in the "manner" and "style" of presentation of content in the article. The Talk pages and dispute redressal forums are always available if required. BTW the previous issue on your talk page,ie. of clone "Banglapedia" sites was not known to me, and I shall henceforth use the .org site if the same content is available there. I am also copying this to Brahmo Samaj Talk. Landirenzo (talk) 06:37, 30 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Kushtia District

A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Kushtia District, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page. Also, please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. If you agree with the deletion of the article, and you are the only person who has made substantial edits to the page, please add {{db-author}} to the top of Kushtia District.

[edit] AfD nomination of Illegal Bangladeshis living in India

An editor has nominated Illegal Bangladeshis living in India, an article which you have created or worked on, for deletion. We appreciate your contributions, but the nominator doesn't believe that the article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in his/her nomination (see also "What Wikipedia is not").

Your opinions on whether the article meets inclusion criteria and what should be done with the article are welcome; please participate in the discussion by adding your comments at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Illegal Bangladeshis living in India and please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~).

You may also edit the article during the discussion to improve it but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion debate. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 00:00, 5 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Bengali Wikipedia

I am not sure how much I can do now. But I can do review/verify etc. Currently, the font there is a bit small and I don't feel comfortable with that. About the other issue, I replied in my talk page, just in case someone else wants to talk about the same issue. Thanks.GDibyendu (talk) 04:38, 6 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Shaheed Minar Outside Bangladesh

Hi Ragib, I noticed you removed the section from Shaheed Minar page. Fair enough. I am very new in Wikipedia. I created the "International Mother Language Day Monument" page mainly to learn about Wikipedia. It has been marked for deletion. That's ok too. Could you please tell me when the article is deleted does the photo get deleted too? I would like to keep the photo in another page, "International Mother Language Day". I think it is more relevant in there. Thanks - Anisur —Preceding unsigned comment added by Anisur57 (talk • contribs) 06:40, 9 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Feedback requested in an RfC

Hi Ragib, I am wondering if you might like to weigh in on an RfC that I initiated earlier this week. I fear that the discussion there has degenerated. I'm aware that you might not know anything specific about the language concerned (which I don't either), but since you wrote an FA on the Bengali language, I thought you opinion might be valuable. I've tried to explain this more precisely in my statement (at the expense of using too many words which I hope you don't find too off-putting). Needless to say, if you do decide to say something, I don't expect you to say anything in support of my position, only to provide you best opinion. Request for comment: When does the literary tradition in a language begin? Regards, Fowler&fowler«Talk» 21:40, 11 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Image copyright problem with Image:1tk.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:1tk.jpg. You've indicated that the image is being used under a claim of fair use, but you have not provided an adequate explanation for why it meets Wikipedia's requirements for such images. In particular, for each page the image is used on, the image must have an explanation linking to that page which explains why it needs to be used on that page. Can you please check

  • That there is a non-free use rationale on the image's escription page for each article the image is used in.
  • That every article it is used on is linked to from its description page.

This is an automated notice by FairuseBot. For assistance on the image use policy, see Wikipedia:Media copyright questions.

[edit] 3RR

Hi Ragib 1) I have not broken 3RR since I have placed talk on the discussion page well before (at 1RR stage) which nobody has cared to reply to while proceeding to undo my edits. 2) The anonymous ID was due to Wiki cookie problem and not intentional. 3) I have also placed a DISPUTE tag for Pirali. 4) I also find it curious that DwipaniyanC is now replaced by you. Sroy1947 (talk) 06:49, 13 April 2008 (UTC) Sroy1947 (talk) 06:49, 13 April 2008 (UTC)

Hi again,

The ref i removed was not a "valid" reference. It is a litery reference (in passing), not from a specialised source dealing with sub-division into clans of Brahmins. You may please see the 1st RR I did and my edit summary which you 2 seem to have overlooked. In any case from the outset I have been insisting on DISCUSSION which the 2 of you avoided / evaded while indulging in vandalism. You 2 are edit warring, not me. I am disengaging now, please remove Pirali. I have left some further talk on the article's Talk page. Sroy1947 (talk) 07:02, 13 April 2008 (UTC)

Dear Ragib, You seem to be an "involved admin". Wikipedia is NOT a biography (which may be authorised or unauthorised). It is an ENCYCLOPEDIA - where every fact asserted is to be Factual and verifiable. I am not in the least concerned with literary biograpies, the Banglapedia ref I cited was from ENCYCLOPEDIA (not biography) - and YOU deleted IT in favour of some dubious biograpies.

[edit] Image copyright question

Hi there Rajib, about the Khaleda Image, I have contacted the Asiatic Society via Email, a sent an email to the Information and Queries first, but didnt recieve a reply. So I then sent an email to all of the contact details for the image, General Secretary, President, Library, Publication, Support & Queries and Web info., didnt get a reply from any of them but then did get a reply from the Publications email, confirming that it can be distributed under the Commons license, but the image cannot be edited in anyway. Is that enough information to be accepted? Moshino31 (talk) 18:00, 14 April 2008 (UTC)

All images and publications on Banglapedia are owned by the Asiatic Society of Bangladesh. I dont know who gave me the permission, but the only thing they said was, I am allowed to release it under the Commons License, but did not mention which one, and the image cannot be replaced with an edited version of it. That's all I know. If it doesnt go according to Wikipedia rules, then it should be deleted if that is what you are saying. Moshino31 (talk) 18:27, 14 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Pirali: R.N.Tagore

Dear Mr.Ragib. Samaren Roy p.88- what exactly does it say in the 6th or so line from the bottom of the page? Why are you embarassed to quote exactly from the book. Does it use the word "tainted" or suchlike in the context of the WOMEN of A Tagore family? Does it specifically refer to R.N.T's branch of Tagore family? Does it not go on to say something to the effect that they were in fact one of the 4 highest classes of Brahmins? Have you ever bothered to personally read what Krishna Kripalani wrote about Dwarkanath Tagore in the book you cited, beginning with the title of the chapter "As legends go" and at pg.6 onwards the words "supposed stigma", "tale of legend" "the tale is worth telling whatever its historical merit", "it is obvious that (n)one of thelegends cited above can be deemed very credible", "relied on hearsay for their "facts"". If you have no respect for Encyclopedia kindly respect those who do. I shalldemo;ish each and every one of your citations except Asiatic Society which I cannot locate due to it's age - Please quote exactly from it. Sroy1947 (talk) 12:30, 16 April 2008 (UTC)

Regarding this, I actually forgot about Bangladesh, however when I created the History of West Bengal article - it occurred to me. I was going to move it myself but seems you beat me to it. Pahari Sahib 08:33, 26 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Please check these articles

Dear Ragib Bhai, much appreciate your comment on the following articles: for notability - Mustafa Majid, Faizul Latif Chowdhury, Kishore Bangla, Jatin Sarker, William Radice, Bangla Desh - A Voice of a New Nation and for copy-vio/original research - Banalata Sen. Regards, Arman (Talk) 17:00, 26 April 2008 (UTC)

Jatin Sarkar seems legit and notable ... winner of Bangla Academy Award. Kishore Bangla ... borderline. Mr. Chowdhury or someone else known to him created his own bio, which is a COI, you might raise the issue with him. No idea about Radice or the "Bangla Desh" -book ... --Ragib (talk) 04:24, 27 April 2008 (UTC)
Radice happens to be one of the foremost researcher and writer on Bengali literature in Europe, especially in England and especially about Tagore. An author of many books, including Tagore translations, he indeed is notable (check here and here). Kishor Bangla (I believe that would be the right spelling) is one of the pioneers of adolescent literature sheets in Bangladesh, and had been so for a decade before it went defunct. Ali Imam, Afzal Hussein and many other celbrity writers and artists began their career with the sheet. Certainly notable, but given the amount of documentation available in Bangladesh (especially on the net), it would be difficult to support that with proper sourcing. Aditya(talk • contribs) 12:51, 27 April 2008 (UTC)
  • Thanks to Both of you. Any comment on Banalata Sen? I'd suggest to remove all translations keeping only the one by the poet himself, do you agree? Arman (Talk) 02:08, 28 April 2008 (UTC)
I've removed the poem text and its translations. The poem is still under copyright, and will come into PD in 2014. --Ragib (talk) 02:17, 28 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Re: Nazrul

Given the number of Bangladeshi editors currently active and interested, I guess, the article on Nazrul will need some extra help. What do you think of roping in User:P.K.Niyogi, User:Dwaipayanc, User:Nichalp, User:Riana and other highly active and experienced editors who may be interested? I miss Nirav so much! Aditya(talk • contribs) 13:34, 28 April 2008 (UTC)

Agreed ... we need all the help we can get, and the list sounds great. --Ragib (talk) 15:13, 28 April 2008 (UTC)
It seems help is not forthcoming fast :( ... And, frankly, now that I have read the article more carefully, I believe it has got quite a number of problems both in the area of copy and citation. I am trying to lay my hand on a couple of books. As soon as they are in, I go cracking for sure. But, the article will definitely need copywriting support. When that need arises, I'll post to let you know. Fair? I certainly hope so. Aditya(talk • contribs) 10:09, 2 May 2008 (UTC)

Hi Ragib - please have a look at this article and let me know if there are any issues that need addressing. I am also not sure how much back in history it should go - I've tried to roughly model it on Military history of Pakistan. Vishnava(talk) 00:43, 21 May 2008 (UTC)

As an administrator, can you delete Bogra Cantontment, which is a misspelled duplicate of Bogra Cantonment? Vishnava(talk) 00:59, 21 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Re: Would you please?

I see that User:Sarvagnya has reverted the edits now. On further edits by the user, I shall have a talk with him.

It's unfortunate when people resort to wield such religion card. Anyway, thanks for pointing it out. How are you people doing, bye the way?--Dwaipayan (talk) 06:02, 21 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Kazi Nazrul Islam

Hi Ragib - as you are a key contributor to this article, I would like to like to inform you of the changes I've made. Please don't take offense at the removal of data. My reasoning is this - speaking in context of the overall article, why risk removal of FA status. Its a subject on which there doesn't seem to be as many sources available. As a solution, I don't see why we can't just remove the non-essential sentences/facts without due citations - none of them seem critical or vital to the article. It won't diminish, as it doesn't seem people here can find any better literature. And is it worth risking the status of the overall article over those non-essential sentences? I don't think so. To be sure, I've left those alone which I felt were of some importance. Regards, Vishnava talk 12:50, 23 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Adil Najam

Hello Ragib. I restored this article to mainspace per the result of the deletion review. If you still think the slightly-improved version merits deletion, you are welcome to nominate it for AfD. I notice that some sources have been added, but I'm not sure they are legal per WP:RS (for instance blogs). EdJohnston (talk) 00:20, 28 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Swaping Redirect

Ragib Bhai: Currently Mohanganj Upazila redirects to Mohanganj, which has the main article. But, I believe, to be consistent with all other Upazila articles, it should be the opposite: Mohanganj should redirect to Mohanganj Upazila, which should be the main article. I tried to fix this, but couldn't figure out how to do so. Could you please help? Arman (Talk) 03:47, 3 June 2008 (UTC)

Done. --Ragib (talk) 04:10, 3 June 2008 (UTC)
A little redirect swapping executed by two different editors at almost the same time? Is this synchronized action or what? :P Aditya(talk • contribs) 04:14, 3 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Bangla Wiki

Hi Ragib, thanks for bringing the Bangla Wikipedia to my notice. Just wanted to know, whether English Wikipedia articles can be translated to Bengali and added or not. Looking for your response on the same. Thanks. Shovon (talk) 09:35, 3 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Your help needed on Talk:Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi

Hi Ragib, your help is needed on the Gandhi page. Two editors (who as usual have done no editing on the Gandhi page itself) are threatening to move it to Mahatma Gandhi. Regards, Fowler&fowler«Talk» 03:10, 6 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] FARC of Kazi Nazrul Islam

Hi Ragib - I request you to take a look at the Wikipedia:Featured article review/Kazi Nazrul Islam. A few editors have raised the view that Banglapedia is an inherently biased source; they also object to books published by the Nazrul Institute. Its a complicated argument that Armanaziz and I have sought to counter, but its time to have a third view. Vishnava talk 14:44, 6 June 2008 (UTC)
