[edit] Hi

Hi Tarif. How are you? I have not been able to see the Language Movement FAC lately due to busy schedule in real life. The FAC is not getting any more comments for a long time now. Let's see what happens. Let's hope for the best :) Regards.--Dwaipayan (talk) 06:24, 12 July 2007 (UTC)

It's nice to know that you have been trying for the FA status for one year! Great job. Hope it will make it. It should. And after this, try to take on another project. You will definitely get many people here to help. Wikipedia is basically a nice place to be  :)--Dwaipayan (talk) 05:24, 13 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Bengali Language Movement

Hi Tarif, I've been reading over the article off and on for the last couple days and I think that it's nearing completion, at least from the perspective of copyediting. I shortened up a couple sentences, fixed a couple typos that have been made since last time, and reworded a couple sentences for better coherence. As far as the issue with sentences needing to be shortened; I don't think that it's very realistic at this point. Every sentence that can be chopped down or turned into two sentences has been. There's actually a few occasions where I would turn two sentences into a single sentence, but overall I feel that this article has now reached FA material. Good Job. Trusilver 18:25, 12 July 2007 (UTC)

I did not notice that Tony had removed objection. It is only today that I noticed that. Now, we can be almost sure that the article would reach FA status :)--Dwaipayan (talk) 04:21, 15 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Wish your rapid recovery

Hi! Wish you recover early, and enjoy the imminent FA status! Regards.--Dwaipayan (talk) 17:01, 15 July 2007 (UTC)

So it became FA :) Congrats.--Dwaipayan (talk) 04:04, 16 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Congrats, and get well soon!

Get well soon,
my dear Tarif!

Congratulations on your excellent achievement, dear Tarif! :) Unfortunately, recent personal problems made it impossible for me to actively take part in the process of improving it; but they say, all's well that ends well, and you surely have earned a happy ending for your article ;) Nevertheless, I'll try and help to polish it a little, if you wish - hardly any work left after your wonderful efforts, tho ;)

I also see you're having some health problems lately... please, take care, relax, enjoy your success, and come back to us fully restored, and witha lot of energy. Love you! :) Take good care, Phaedriel - 22:23, 17 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] You've been blogged :)

Hi Tarif,

I blogged about your effort, and sent the details to several other bloggers. Rezwan, whose blog "The 3rd world view" is among the most visited Bangladeshi blogs, posted the story there. Also, Drishtipat, a human rights organization has a widely visited Blog, and this has been covered there too. Here are the links:

As I always say, let's keep up the good work. We should focus more such events from our nation's history. Don't, of course, neglect your university admission preparations ... :) --Ragib 08:01, 18 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Forgive me

I have deprecated Wikipedia:WikiProject History of Bangladesh and made it Wikipedia:WikiProject Bangladesh/History Workgroup. I also have mass migrated the participants from the former project to the new workgroup. May be I was a little too bold here. Forgive me for doing this without consultation. The move was a part of the effort to rehash the entire Bangladesh project. If you and other participants agree, the next step should be deleting the previous page. Hopefully, The new workgroup would improve the level of activity related to coordinating our efforts. Please, respond to my talk page. Aditya (talk • contribs) 21:53, 18 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Congratulations

The Tireless Contributor Barnstar
Congratulations Tarif, I'm glad you finally got your FA for Bengali Language Movement. It has been an honor to work with you (even in as small a part as I contributed), and I look forward to working on other articles with you in the future. Trusilver 20:03, 20 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] English "Autism" linked to Bengali "Bengali Language Movement"?

Your recent edit to Autism generated a version that said the Bengali version of Autism was the same page as the Bengali version of Bengali Language Movement. Initially I thought this was vandalism (i.e., insulting the Bengali Language Movement by comparing it to autism) and reverted it, but after further examination I think there's something weird going on with Unicode and UTF-8 and Firefox, so I was mistaken in thinking it was vandalism (my apologies). Anyway, I have tried to fix things with this change; if it's not right please let me know. Eubulides 21:01, 21 July 2007 (UTC)

You left a comment on my page saying "Now I am having this message". Sorry, I don't understand the connection. The referenced page doesn't mention you, and hasn't been changed for a week. Eubulides 14:42, 23 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Invitation

Dhaka meet up 2 --Bellayet 04:14, 25 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Re: SSC

I really am not sure. The stub mentions a few places where the certificate in given, and in all of those places it means the same thing - certificate of passing a common exam at the end of the 10th grade. This definition also holds true for a couple of East European countries like Poland. I don't think the term "Secondary School Certificate" is used widely around the world. Though I can't be sure, there's a possibility that the term was introduced by the British Raj (see here). What other countries are using the term outside the subcontinent?

[edit] Bangladesh Liberation War

I'm sure you noted that this is the current collaboration of wikiproject Bangladesh. Considering the great work that you did on Bengali Language Movement, I wonder, whether you had anything to contribute here.-Arman Aziz 10:12, 27 July 2007 (UTC)

Have a nice time in Rangpur.-Arman Aziz 01:54, 30 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Please join WikiProject Bangladeshi Universities

Dear Tarif,

It's really nice to see your effort at WP. I guess, you're the youngest and one of the most active Wikipedians in current time. Your participation in WikiProject Bangladeshi Universities will surely help the project to be expanded to a large extent. Currently we are focusing on preparing different university articles which is actually limiting our workspace. I believe we should start working on different school articles also and you are the perfect person who can help us to do so. So, bro, please do join us at WikiProject Bangladeshi Universities.

Regards, Niaz bd 15:40, 27 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Re:Entrance Examination

Sorry for the delayed reply. No I have no idea about the entrance examinations during the British Period. How are you?--Dwaipayan (talk) 20:00, 30 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Bangladesh portal

Hi, I'd like to draw your attention to Bangladesh portal. I have tried to address the concerns in earlier peer review and checked the portal against Featured portal criteria. Based on this I think it is proper time to push for Featured Portal status for Bangladesh Portal, which will be an important milestone for WikiProject Bangladesh. But to achieve this I need help from you. Please participate in the on-going discussion on the talk page and give me your valuable inputs.-Arman Aziz 03:40, 3 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] about the portal

Thanks for planning to lend me a hand; and since you are doing so, you should be aware that I'm currently working on a major upgrade of the portal. My work under construction is here. It is somewhat modeled on Portal:Australia.

Please take a look first, before you do any change to the old model.

Arman Aziz 11:41, 6 August 2007 (UTC)


Thanks for your continued support and interest. I also thought about this day in history section, but I'm not sure whether we have enough date-by-date information to run such a section. An easier alternative would be a section on This month in Bangladesh. The content may not be only historical - it could be climatic and even cultural. I have created the sample July page. I have a rough idea about which month can talk on which theme:

  • Jan - Winter in Bangladesh
  • Feb - 21 February
  • Mar - 26 March
  • Apr - Pohela Baishakh
  • May - Summer in Bangladesh
  • Jun - Any suggestions?
  • Jul - Monsoon / Floods
  • Aug - Assasination of Mujib? Death anniversary of Tagore?
  • Sep - Ramadan (at least for 2007-2009)
  • Oct - Eid-ul Fitr (at least for 2007-2008)
  • Nov - Any suggestions?
  • Dec - 16 December.

But the most difficult problem I see is finding free content images for such sections.

You may try to create pages for some other months. If we have 12 monthly pages, we can roll this out.

However, It is not very urgent at this moment. Right now I'm giving the finishing touch to the new look of the portal and as soon as it is done I'll drive for featured portal status. Last few days I was kind of busy with coding the template for bengali calendar dates for the header section. Now that it's done, I'll do the final formating fixes.

Meanwhile, if you want to help me in the portal drive, you may try to collect some Did you knows. I'm planning to do a 7 day roll-over for this section.

However, based on my understanding of your area of strength, I'd suggest you spend more of your time on "Bangladesh Liberation War". I really feel some of us should focus on the collaboration topic.

Arman Aziz 01:46, 8 August 2007 (UTC)


Thanks for searching and finding all those "Did you know" entries. With this help from you, I have now implemented random rotation in that section of the portal and thus eliminated probably the last weakness of the portal. It would be nice to see your comments in the featured portal discussion page. Arman Aziz 09:28, 9 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Bengali Wikisource

We are going to start Bengali language Wikisource. We have a lot of literary works in public domain including Rabindranath Tagore. This Wikisource is now an applicant and needs your approval. Visit this page: m:Requests_for_new_languages/Wikisource_Bengali_2 to approve and support. We need at least 5 persons approving it. Be hurry. And now we are working on the structure of this wikisource on the mani site of wikisource. When the site is alloted these pages will be placed there. Visit: Bengali Wikisource page on Wikisource. -- Hermitage17 10:32, 12 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Hasan Mashhud Chowdhury

Dear, where did you find the information on the general? Did you find it out yourself, or is it taken from published sources? If it is from published sources, can you cite those sources? You already know how to do that. Even if you make draft citation, other editors can always format those in a proper shape. You see, unsourced information is not good for an encyclopedia. Cheers. Aditya(talk • contribs) 00:26, 27 August 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for the refs. This should be enough for now. And, oh! Congratulations on the exam results. Sorry, I forgot to do that earlier. Cheers. Aditya(talk • contribs) 14:59, 28 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Congratulations on your result

Tarif, Congrats on your passing the HSC. Wish you all the best. --Ragib 01:58, 28 August 2007 (UTC)

  • Ditto. But what's your CGPA.--NAHID 17:44, 28 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Hello...

Hey, you've greatly reduced your activities here. Real life calling or what? I miss you already. Well, if you have time to spare, can you take a look at the articles you recently took an interest in? Let me put down some of the observations if you don't mind.

  • Shafi Imam Rumi is not referenced strongly. By that I mean inline citations. It mostly doesn't use full names. While it is useful to use part of a person's name when it is repeated, ideally a full name should provided when mentioned first. "Azad" has an inappropriate wikilink, and "Crack Platoon" may be candidate for a redirection or something. "He became a hero to his colleagues" is clearly using peackock terms. Some other parts are a bit wordy as well. Is it possible to find something on his early life? May be some information on how his name was rallied later would be useful as well.
    • Hasan Mashhud Chowdhury would need inline citations as well. Unfortunately my browser doesn't support Bangla scripts on Prothom Alo. Can you get someone who can to help you?
  • Jahanara Imam needs those inline citations again. It will be very useful if a majority of the cites doesn't use Ekattorer Dingulee as the source. That would be kind of self-referencing. The image used has something written on it, not good. May be an image of her Nirmul Committee work will be useful along with her portrait. I remember seeing a couple of her wonderful translations from Laura Ingalls Wilder. Is it possible to find anything on that?

I have seen how valiantly you can contribute, how dedicated to quality you can be. Therefore, I dare to propose all of the above with a confident heart. Please, respond to my talk page. Wikipedia needs you and the likes of you. Cheers. Aditya(talk • contribs) 04:59, 4 September 2007 (UTC)

Don't worry about deadlines. Not everything happens fast here. In the meantime I'll see what I can do as well. Cheers. Aditya(talk • contribs) 18:40, 5 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Re: WikiAdda

Will try to make it. Office duties may become a problem. Good luck. Aditya(talk • contribs) 20:14, 6 September 2007 (UTC)

Prothom Alo probably has some special report on the 2007 Chittagong mudslide today, on the front page. I can't read it online, no font support. Can you, please, take a look into the report and may be add something to the article on Wikipedia? Thanks. Aditya(talk • contribs) 05:42, 7 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Thank you

Thanks for your invitation. But I can't make it. I'm having exams on Sunday and Monday. It's a particular pain in mind when I failed to attend in wiki meet up. Next time, I'll try my best to participate in wiki meet up. I wish you all good luck. Thank you--NAHID 19:46, 7 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Bangladesh News

Tarif: Thanks for adding the news item and welcome back! BTW, conventionally we bold a link on news item to indicate that there are more details or bakcground context about that specific piece of news in that article. Regards, Arman Aziz 03:06, 10 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Re: Muhuri

That would be Muhuri River. Since names of rivers and seas are not complete without adding "River" or "Sea" at the end part, it becomes a part of the proper noun. According to WP guidelines, such proper nouns are to be capitalized. (see Wikipedia:Manual of Style#Directions and regions). Check Mississippi River, Yangtze River, Amazon River or Indus River for conformation. Aditya(talk • contribs) 03:50, 10 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Could you help me with A. K. Fazlul Huq

Hi Tarif. I have started expanding the article on Sher-e-Bangla. My biggest problem is- I have only one good source - Banglapedia. Since you're in Bangladesh it may be possible for you to get hold of some printed material on his life. Would you be interested to lend me a hand with this article? Arman Aziz 04:30, 14 September 2007 (UTC)

{{helpme}} I am following the link but can't download Episode 15 of Wiki Weekly. It is letting me download the 29th edition. Helpme on this. --Tarif from Bangladesh 17:16, 14 September 2007 (UTC)

Did some copyediting. Its tough to understand the "Geography' part. Some improvement in language may be needed. Will try. Go for the Did You Know. It looks ok. Regards.--Dwaipayan (talk) 13:52, 16 September 2007 (UTC)

IMO, the article is going to make it in DYK. These days it takes a long time to get featured in the DYK section after nomination. So just be patient. The history of formation of the river was really interesting. Regards.--Dwaipayan (talk) 13:43, 18 September 2007 (UTC)
So, you've got broadband now! That's great news. You will be able to contribute in a more productive way henceforth. Great! Cheers.--Dwaipayan (talk) 13:56, 18 September 2007 (UTC)

No it is not clear. I thought Bangali had a different direction! Will see after some time if that can be fixed. Regards.--Dwaipayan (talk) 13:02, 19 September 2007 (UTC)

So, Bangali has made it into the DYK. Congrats! And create more such DYK articles. Have fun. Cheers!!--Dwaipayan (talk) 13:38, 19 September 2007 (UTC)
Are amio santar jani na! How are you and the others of the Bangladesh brigade? Aditya, Arman, AA? I sometime have contact with Ragib via email or Orkut. Don't get to see Pradipta much.

[edit] Re; How are you

That's a wonderful job you've done with the Bangali River. Wow! With a DYK and all that. Congratulations on your broadband. If you've been using a dial-up connection from a cellphone operator, here's an idea - connect your phone to your PC and use it as modem using that dial-up connection when the broadband starts to fail (mine does, pretty often). The Bangali River article gives me an wonderful idea. Since, Tarun Sarkar at Prothom Alo promises to continue with his river series of articles, may be you can watch for him and keep adding rivers to WP. Alas, my PC/browser has no font support for Bangla newspapers. Aditya(talk • contribs) 15:43, 19 September 2007 (UTC)

Dear Tarif! :) What a wonderful surprise to receive your message and to know you're doing well, sweetie! It's wonderful to see you back editing, and even better that you'll be on more often and actively, thanks to your new connection - ain't technology wonderful? ;) I know that your new excellent achivement is but one more of many you've created, and taht you'll continue to weave in the future, for editors of your talent are rare indeed.

Hi Tarif. Congrats for the DYK and a special thank for adding it to the portal. One request: please add the year (is it 2007?) for the Prothom Alo reference in the Bangali river article. Arman Aziz 09:11, 20 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Re: Photo upload

Hehe! The way you told about the match, it seems as if I was one of the players!! Unfortunately I could not see the match. I was keeping track of the score from internet.

Regarding photos, I think you should download them and then upload to Commons (unless they are already in commons). A few days back there were some dysfunction in the wiki software resulting in photos being not properly displayed. --Dwaipayan (talk) 14:44, 23 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Alpin

Go ahead. Alpin has DYK potential.--Dwaipayan (talk) 18:58, 24 September 2007 (UTC)

Good work, go ahead and nominate. Do not be so much worried about the name of the nominator. Thank you for your suggestion that I nominate the article. But as actual contributors, you or AA nominate it.
Talked with Ragib over phone yesterday. Yes, he is busy. I am also very busy these days. I do not think I will be able to contribute much in Wikipedia in near future. However, I will be around. Regards.--Dwaipayan (talk) 15:07, 25 September 2007 (UTC)

--Carabinieri 13:49, 26 September 2007 (UTC)

Tarif, there is a comment in the talk page. Please address that. Also, please find a separate source to replace the blog post ... such blog posts are not reliable sources and shouldn't be cited as reference. I think you'll find a replacement ref from a newspaper. --Ragib 02:40, 27 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Prothom Alo

A wikipedian has requested that Prothom Alo be expanded. I've done what I can/want. Not sure if you want to take it forward (a photo of the frontpage would be useful to complete the infobox). → AA (talk) — 16:39, 26 September 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for the image. I've brightened it up and cropped the advert at the bottom and added a fair use rationale. → AA (talk) — 10:23, 27 September 2007 (UTC)
I have just noticed your discussion about Prothom Alo on AA's talk page. Well, I have wroked for the group long enough to know a bit of history (though WP:OR and WP:COI forbid me to write on it as such). Here goes.
In 1991 Naimul Islam Khan, editor, and Colonel Kazi Shahed Ahmed, publisher, of the weekly Khoborer Kagoj started to publish the daily Ajker Kagoj. Matiur Rahman, editor of the monthly Ekota joined as Executive Editor the next year, about the same time the Impress group joined as co-publishers. A year later Khan and Rahman split company with Ahmed along with the cream of the stuff and started the daily Bhorer Kagoj. Another year and another split, this time between Khan and Rahman, the editorship went to Rahman and the daily was taken over by Saber Hossein Chowdhury. Three years later Rahman left Chowdhury, along with the cream of the stuff, and started Prothom Alo from the House of Transcom headed by Latifur Rahman Chowdhury, who already was the owner of the Daily Star (founded by SM Ali and edited by Mahfuz Anam), weekly 2000 and fortnightly Anandadhara (both the periodicals founded by editor Shahdat Huessin, who orginally founded weekly Bichitra and fortnightly Anandabichitra). Benazir Ahmed, the former managing editor of Bhorer Kagoj who was a managing editor of weekly Sandhani earlier, took over the editorial responsibilities for Saber Chowdhury. Two years later he went into retirement and Abed Khan took over as the editor, only to leave to edit daily Samakal three more years later.
I hope this provided some insights. Good luck to your efforts to develop Bangladesh newspaper articles. One little thing - I strongly feel that Alpin and Chutir Dine could be merged into Prothom Alo, leaving redirect pages behind. Longer and comprehensive article are more preferable to shorter articles that fail to provide enough context. Besides, newspaper supplemets are hardly notable enough for stand alone articles (apart from incidences like the Alpin fiasco). Cheers. Aditya(talk • contribs) 15:08, 27 September 2007 (UTC)
Tarif, I agree with Aditya about merging the articles. The Alpin article can be retained as "2007 Bangladesh cartoon controversy" or something similar. The discussion of Alpin in general should be a part of Prothom Alo article. But nonetheless, nice work. Arman (Talk) 00:35, 28 September 2007 (UTC)
I have moved the Alpin article to 2007 Bangladesh cartoon controversy. I hope no one minds. It seemed more appropriate. Now, if possible, can someone upload the cartoon itself and put into the article? Aditya(talk • contribs) 11:42, 5 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Harvard citation on A. K. Fazlul Huq

Hi Tarif. I am trying to learn the use of Harvard citation template. What I take from the "Recommended style" on template documentation is that Harvard citations should be used directly within the main text. In that case reader gets a ready idea of what the source of the cited information is. I'm not sure listing both Citation and Reference separately at the bottom of the article makes sense. Also, my take is - we should use either Harvard citation or In line citation consistently throughout the article. For the sake of consistency with other similar articles, I'd prefer simpler in-line citation. Please let me know what your views are on this. Arman (Talk) 01:44, 28 September 2007 (UTC)

After studying about Harvard referencing I am actually feeling tempted to try this on the article in the recommended style. I'll try to do this over next few days. If the result doesn't look good, we'll revert back to inline citation. Arman (Talk) 09:20, 28 September 2007 (UTC)
I think I have now completed move to proper Harvard citation style for the entire article. I have just discovered your excellent work on the subject on Bengali wikipedia. Please feel free to translate materials for the English version. I'll help maintain the consistency in referencing style. Arman (Talk) 06:15, 29 September 2007 (UTC)
If you start translating the Bengali article, please do so from the top. I have started from the bottom. By the way, what's the reference of the details about his death and funeral? If possible please let me know with page number etc. Arman (Talk) 01:25, 30 September 2007 (UTC)

Tarif, do you have the the children's Shere-e-Bangla book by Babul? If you do, could you please provide me the full citation details for this book including name of the publisher and publication year? Is it safe to assume that all information on the Bengali article which is not covered in the English article and neither in Banglapedia comes from this book? Arman (Talk) 06:16, 4 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Orphaned non-free media (Image:Chutirdine1.JPG)

Thanks for uploading Image:Chutirdine1.JPG. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use.

[edit] Re: Grameen Shakti

I think all the major Grameen enterprises deserve their own separate article. It may be done when enough material, in line with the policies of notability and verifiability, is gathered together. Like I could do for Grameen Fund. Here, you can definitely attempt to assimilate further info on Grameen Shakti from the link you posted me. Thanks.

[edit] Invitation to visit Qazi Motahar Hossain

Hello, you have done a nice job by creating the page Qazi Motahar Hossain. But provided a few information with many mistakes. Now have a changed look of that. Collaboration welcomed.Farhan nasim 06:03, 12 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Hi

Helli Tarif. Eid mobarak :) I saw the article. In background, try to add something more, that is, why the liberation war (and may be a little sentence on creation of Pakistan and the two geographic entities forming the country etc). This will be helpful for readers who do not know anything about the war.

I am going to Ragib's home in late November. So, after almost two and half years of virtual friendship, finally we are going to meet :) I hope some day I will also meet you. Regards.--Dwaipayan (talk) 17:28, 15 October 2007 (UTC)

An editor has suggested a change in the hook. Do it, otherwise the hook is ok.
Well, regarding Dhakaiya, my mother comes from Narayanganj and father from Chandpur, Kumilla. also, I have a score of relatives in Agartala who speaks in accent akin to Dhakaiya (or other parts of East Bengal). So, I understand that mostly, especially if spoken in a context (I mean within a sentence). However, I may miss some certain words. I could not understand Phapor, pejgi! What do they mean?--Dwaipayan (talk) 21:41, 15 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Swadhin Bangla Betar Kendra

Hi Tarif, sorry about the delay. Was not able to respond in time but I'll give it a review at some point. → AA (talk) — 21:43, http://en.wikipedia.org/skins-1.5/common/images/button_sig.png Your signature with timestamp16 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Re:Kalapani

Hi. You may name the article as Kalapani. Or may be "Indian expatriates in UK in 18th century". However, I think Kalapani is ok. Happy Durga Puja :)--Dwaipayan (talk) 13:12, 17 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Niaz_bd became Niaz

This is a common message from Niaz

Fellow Wikipedians,

This is to notify you that recently I have changed my username (through userpatation) to an appropriate one and from now you'll recognize me as Niaz instead of Niaz_bd.

Kind regards,
