copyvio

A lot of the text at the Khwaja Abdul Ghani article has been copy-pasted from Banglapedia. Please rewrite the text, and cite the source, otherwise, the article may be removed. Thank you. --Ragib 17:34, 11 November 2006 (UTC)

Yes, I know. I have used Banglapedia to begin the article. I intend to rework the copy to make it more consolidated, include the information from the offcial web page of the nawab family, and make use of a couple of Daily Star articles. I also intend to use stuff from Hakim Habibur Rahman's book, and a few other sources. But, all that will require a couple of days time. Till then I am fine quoting Banglapedia as a source. Thanks. - Aditya Kabir 17:53, 11 November 2006 (UTC)

By the way, I was hoping for an answer to my proposal on your talk page. Will you, please, check it out? - Aditya Kabir 17:53, 11 November 2006 (UTC)

And, please, do check the Dhaka Nawab Family artcile as well. It too uses Banglapedia as a skeleton. If possible, please, take look at Shahbag, Jamaat-ul-Mujahideen Bangladesh and Gulshan, Dhaka as well. - Aditya Kabir 18:01, 11 November 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for your nice Barnstar award

You gave me "The Original Barnstar" award on my user talk page, and I would like to thank you for that. On that same page I replied your question. Please check it out. By the way, I know you by your name. It is nice to talk to you. Mostly I spent my time on Bishnupriya Manipuri Wikipedia.Usingha 01:36, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

Dear Aditya, I created 6 more following thanas for dhaka city. Acoording to your suggestion, I am creating a map for the Dhaka city, and before I upload, I will show to you. Please guide me, what we want to put for Info Box Template for Dhaka City. I am on wiki break for few months. If I would not finish, I will do after my break or any ones addition or correction will be very welcome.

Thanks again.Usingha 22:05, 17 February 2007 (UTC)

Towns and cities - simplifying

I agree with your proposal (sent to several people recently). In New Zealand a population of 1000 would see a place described as a township rather than a town, but the same population in USA could be a "City". Put something on the talk pages of those lists if you haven't already. Robin Patterson 12:10, 17 February 2007 (UTC)

Urdu script needed

Hakim Habibur Rahman needs urdu script for the name of the subject (Bangla script has already been added). Can you help? Aditya Kabir 09:00, 26 March 2007 (UTC)

Actually, I can not write Urdu. However, you may seek help of Ragib and IFaqueer. I am pasting your message on their talk pages. Thanks for the message. --Bhadani 12:14, 26 March 2007 (UTC)

I have copied and pasted above from my talk page. I hope that you are doing fine. --Bhadani 12:14, 26 March 2007 (UTC)

Mazharul Islam

Hi, sorry for not getting back to you on this earlier, but I'm not quite sure how you would want the table to look. Another solution that seems to be used in some architect articles is to use list format for works, examples: Alvar Aalto#Works, Frank Gehry#Works and Santiago Calatrava#Notable works. --KFP (talk | contribs) 17:14, 26 March 2007 (UTC)

Armenian community of Dhaka

The way I see it is this: is anyone likely to click on those links (probably not), and would they learn anything useful if they did (almost certainly not)? Anyone who's reading about a bit of Armenian history is not likely to care that in 1698, for example, "Whigs sponsor Captain Kidd of New York as a privateer against French shipping". The articles for any specific year are a total ragbag of unrelated information. There might be a case for highlighting key dates in bold to emphasise them, or for linking to a specific relevant article such as e.g. 1698 in Armenian history but not for linking them as they stand. Colonies Chris 17:32, 17 May 2007 (UTC)

There's a discussion of this in the Manual of Style at Wikipedia:Manual of Style (dates and numbers)#Partial dates, and some more at Wikipedia:Only make links that are relevant to the context#Dates. Opinions differ on this practice and there's no clear policy, but as the second article says, the majority of editors (though with some strong dissenters) feel as I do that linking bare years is valueless and visually distracting. Because the way of marking up dates to respond to readers' formatting preferences is also the way of linking dates, and isn't particularly intuitive, a lot of confusion has developed about how and when to mark up/link dates. But to my mind the simple question that cuts through it all is 'will this link be useful to the reader?'Colonies Chris 09:35, 20 May 2007 (UTC)

About VNS article

Thanks for removing that weird part from Viqarunnisa Noon School article. I thought to remove that segment completely last night and found it done in the morning :-) ... anyway, I think that article is prepared by multiple hand and some one tried to up its reputation while some one tried to get it down. However, We (Nahid and me) are now taking care of this article and trying to prepare it properly maintaining all the wiki policies. I'll also try to collect some appropriate photographs and upload it accordingly. Regards, -- Niaz(Talk • Contribs) 06:47, 25 August 2007 (UTC)

Query on Sholakia at DYK

Thanks for expanding Sholakia. However, there still seems a confusion over the numbers attending. Please see my comment at Template_talk:Did_you_know#Articles_created_on_August_21, as the festival definitely seems notable and it would be good to get this featured on DYK. Regards, Espresso Addict 08:29, 26 August 2007 (UTC)

Sorry, I meant to let you know directly that my concerns had been answered, but got distracted. (By the way, suggested items are never deleted from the page unless they're added to the template page; insuperable objections are expressed by striking out the entry.) Thanks for your rapid edits. Espresso Addict 16:25, 26 August 2007 (UTC)

Hasan Mashhud Chowdhury

I found those information in an edition of Chutir Dine (Saturday's weekend magazine of Prothom Alo). Actually I did not know about which template to use for a newspaper's weekend magazine. Anyway, don't worry, I'll find that copy and cite it properly in no time :) Regards Tarif from Bangladesh 16:30, 27 August 2007 (UTC)

by the way, a rough citation about that copy could be found in reference 2 of the article. If you are working from computer you can fix them already(that is for all the other informations that I've added. Or you can wait for me to go to cyber cafe ;)

Have a nice day. --Tarif from Bangladesh 16:48, 27 August 2007 (UTC)

Grameen... articles

Hi Aditya, Are you able to add any secondary/tertiary sources to these articles. They currently read like adverts but I didn't want to tag them as such. Sources other than the companies' websites will be required to establish notability. Best to get this argument out the way before spending too much time only for someone to AfD it later. I have seen better sourced articles get deleted at AfD. Thanks. → AA (talk) — 10:25, 30 August 2007 (UTC)

Bangladesh Liberation War

You asked about this article. Yes I do have some stuff. I have an old article I wrote about 10 years ago on it. Like the one I wrote on the J&K war, but not Wikified. (probably not quite as good), I've also done some stuff on the 1962 war. I will email you Mike Young 20:44, 15 September 2007 (UTC)

If you want somebody else to review the Bangladesh Liberation War I recommend you askUser:toddy1 he is an excellent military historian. Mike Young 05:19, 16 September 2007 (UTC)

Looking at the work I have done, the write-up is only a couple of paragraphs & will not add anything to the existing article... But I have got an excellent map, with the deployments of all the West Pak and Indian Military units in, at Brigade/Division level. For copyright reasons I need a blank background Map of Bangladesh (East Pakistan), that I can annotate. Can you suggest one? (The one used as background for the existing map (which I have now moved to phase 4) would be fine, and would add consistency to the article). I can make the map for you. (May take about 3 weeks....) Mike Young 05:19, 16 September 2007 (UTC)

Still looking for time to do those maps fpor you! I am afraid that real life has to take priority for the moment, but I should be able to do something about mid October. Mike Young 21:31, 23 September 2007 (UTC)

Toddy1's review of the Bangladesh Liberation War

Did you see the excellent review by User:toddy1 on the talk page of the Bangladesh Liberation War article? If you like what he's done, and as he did it specifically at your request, and as I've already given him one, perhaps you could consider if it's good enough for you to give him an award. Mike Young 12:03, 20 September 2007 (UTC)

Books to read

Indian Army POV A good starting point is Major K.C. Praval's Indian Army after Independence. The first edition for this was published in 1987. The paperback edition was published in 1993. This book can be bought on Amazon.

Indian Navy POV A good starting point is Vice Admiral GM Hiranandhini's Transition to triumph - Indian Navy 1965-75 There is an internet copy of this book on: Transition to triumph - Indian Navy 1965-75 Chapter 8 contains statistics on Mukti Bahini frogmen operations.


Pak Military POV Try Lt Gen Gul Hassan Khan's Memoirs of Lt Gen Gul Hassan Khan, pub 1993. This can also be bought on Amazon.

There is a book called Fallacies & realities: An analysis of Lt. Gen. Gul Hassan's "Memoirs", by Aboobaker Osman Mitha. I have not read Mitha's book - it is hard to get hold of.

There are a huge number of books published on the war, but these three provide a good starting point.--Toddy1 15:24, 23 September 2007 (UTC)

Right Livelihood Award

Aditya Bhaiya. Grameen Shakti is awarded Right Livelihood Award. Don't you think, this should have a separate article now? We could keep it there and create another for it. Anyway, you can read about Grameen Shakti here. Regards. --Tarif from Bangladesh 12:33, 3 October 2007 (UTC)

Thanks Bro. I am tired at the moment to work on Grameen Shakti. But I can do it later. Congrates on Biman Bangladesh Airlines. Regards --Tarif from Bangladesh 13:39, 3 October 2007 (UTC)

Full restructure of Bangladesh Liberation War

As per your request, I have done a full restructure of the article. Hope this improves it. Mike Young 20:46, 28 October 2007 (UTC)

You asked if I was cutting down the military side of thing in the article. No way! The thing is that the article did not contain very much military info before hand. It's just that only when you restructure the article it becomes obvious. Mike Young 15:09, 29 October 2007 (UTC)

Haor

I don't think it is possible to create a gallery in Wikipedia Commons, at least I am unaware of it. However, I have provided a link to Haor for all the related photographs. I think that would be helpful for those who want to use any of those photographs in other languages. Regards - P.K.Niyogi 13:08, 1 December 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for creating the gallery in the Commons. I have filled in the pictures with captions, as they are on the Wikipedia page. Please don't remove the pictures from the Wikipedia page as that would totally spoil the article. A link does not fulfill all the requirements. What is the probelm if pictures are there at both the places? Regards - P.K.Niyogi 00:02, 2 December 2007 (UTC)
I did not notice your "wait" tag in Haor and made a small edit, because I am working on related topics. Sorry for the disruption. - P.K.Niyogi 11:35, 2 December 2007 (UTC)

Waterbodies

I don't seem to have anything related to the Ecologically Critical Areas in Bangladesh. You may have a look at this [1] - it may not be of any direct help. During my visit to Bangaldesh I searched for books on rivers but could not locate any. Mine was a flying visit and I was trying to do too many things within a limited period. I am happy that I have been able to focus you on the water bodies. That is a Bangladesh speciality but I don't think it is properly highlighted. Regards - P.K.Niyogi 03:32, 4 December 2007 (UTC)

Re: Urdu script needed

Hi Aditya. I'm don't contribute much here anymore and not very good with Urdu at all either. Sorry I can't help. Sdelat (talk) 05:38, 5 December 2007 (UTC)

Delinking

Thanks for the message. I have delinked only where multiple identical links exist in the same short article, so the second or further links are unnecessary. Where the link appears in an infobox or as a "See also" I have left it as a multiple. I based this on the Manual of Style re internal links here.

I should also add that I have been reading the articles either as I go, or prior to doing anything within any particular subcategory.

Of course, it is possible for any two people to reasonably disagree about the utility of multiple links where the article is more than one or two lines. I take it from your message that you disagree with at least some of the link removals. A quick check of your contributions shows you have much more experience with the Bangladesh articles than me so I am happy to a) stop doing it and b) restore them to the articles that are more than a few lines long. As most of the cleanups don't involve delinking this will not be a lengthy process.

Let me know if this is satisfactory. Euryalus (talk) 11:36, 9 December 2007 (UTC)

Thank you for your kind response. Looking back over the specific Dhaka Nawab articles it would have been preferable for me not to have delinked the second occurrence of the father/predecessor name in the infobox at the least. Also, while East Pakistan, Bengal and Bangladesh were appropriately delinked when appearing for the second time in short articles, there are other terms less well-known to many readers (eg sannyasi) that could reasonably remain as multiple wikilinks. I will take additional care to be cautious with delinking in the future.
I am more than happy to suggest some minor improvements to the two other articles you mention. Sitakunda Upazila is an excellent template for other Bangladesh location articles. I will work on this today or tomorrow to address the peer review points and post it here for yours and other's comments. I don't completely understand the geography, and will need to get your opinion on this and some other points to make sure the article remains accurate.
As you point out, the Jayne Mansfield article simply needs a copyedit and a reorganisation including some reference formatting. Will have a go at this today or tomorrow also. As always, let me know what you think along the way. Euryalus (talk) 19:31, 9 December 2007 (UTC)

Merger proposal - reply

Hi Aditya, I agree with merging Chutir Dine with Prothom Alo but not Mahfuz Anam with The Daily Star (Bangladesh). Mahfuz Anam is the current Chairperson for Asia News Network, he is a media expert for UNESCO and runs an NGO (Freedom Foundation). He is definitely a notable personality on his own right and deserves a stand alone article. I agree the current article is not rich enough, but there is definitely a scope to improve it to a complete article. Arman (Talk) 01:34, 4 January 2008 (UTC)

Re: Kuakata

Well, I guess I was depending on common knowledge rather than references :(. But anyway, Banglapedia says that: The most important attraction of the beach is that one can see both sunrise and sunset from some of its locations[2]. BTW, it was great talking to you.

Cox's Bazar

I thought my last post on Talk:Cox's Bazar#Merger gave an amicable point. Right now, without enough materials, starting 5 articles don't make sense to me. When you say the logical format is to merge everything into Cox's Bazar District, the "logic" is not very clear to me either. I have requested Ragib bhai to give an opinion. I'd be glad to go by whatever he says - if he says to merge everything into Cox's Bazar District then that's what I'll support, too. Let's try to accept his opinion as the final. Arman (Talk) 01:34, 10 January 2008 (UTC)

Bangladesh Rehabilation Centre for Trauma Victims

Hi Aditya, I notice you're working on this article. Is this NGO really notable? Looks like a vanity page to me. The UserID of the author suggests that someone from this institution has wrote it. May be it should go to afd, what do you think? Arman (Talk) 08:37, 11 January 2008 (UTC)

Grameen Bank

See [3]. Blnguyen removed many references because they came directly from Grameen Bank. Again, he did this because the site is considered a primary source. Since half the article was now unsourced, he decided to delist the article from GA status. Nishkid64 (talk) 17:16, 14 January 2008 (UTC)

Go ahead. I myself had issues with WP:RS on my first FA, but after time, the rules became second nature to me. As far as I know, the articles I brought to FA/GA status meet Wikipedia's referencing policies (WP:RS, WP:V and WP:PSTS). Regards, Nishkid64 (talk) 05:53, 15 January 2008 (UTC)
I'll be glad to "watch over you" on Banglapedia. I could probably re-reference Grameen Bank (and Muhammad Yunus, while I'm at it) and re-submit it to GA. If you have any questions, don't hesitate to contact me. I'm glad that I can be of assistance. Nishkid64 (talk) 06:04, 15 January 2008 (UTC)

But this is a public university[1] I've restructured the article and given references. Please look at the article.Thank you. Tanvir che (talk) 04:29, 14 March 2008 (UTC)

Re: Banglapedia

(Copied from my talk page:) Hi. I am sympathetic to your plight. And I did put in some time to try to work on the article myself, as you can see here. So it's not as though I didn't try to help! By comparison, the other changes that have been made recently have been much less substantive. But going back to look at it, I felt that there was still rather a lot to be done. Of course, do feel free to take it to Good Article reassessment if you feel I was wrong. Good luck! --jbmurray (talk|contribs) 11:43, 4 April 2008 (UTC)

(Copied from my talk page:) Aditya, I'm not sure it's a simple question of misunderstanding. And I doubt that arguing pro and con on the talk page will help things much. I think I was clear as to the multiple issues as I saw them. I do hope they help you further revise the article. If you really do think that my review was poor, then again I suggest that you take it to Good Article reassessment. --jbmurray (talk|contribs) 11:56, 4 April 2008 (UTC)

Hi Aditya, why aren't you just adding the references to the article? Arman (Talk) 07:06, 2 May 2008 (UTC)

Since you did such a good job in finding references for "common sense" items on Bangladesh article, could I please request you to also take a look at the article on Dhaka, especially the last 3 sections: transportation, culture and sports. Arman (Talk) 02:49, 13 May 2008 (UTC)
Yes, it should be education not culture. Cheers, Arman (Talk) 05:39, 13 May 2008 (UTC)
The only problem is I'm not getting enough time either :( I'll add these when I get more time, of course. I think I have removed all "citation needed" tags from 2 out of 3 sections already. By the way, I have a bit doubt about reliability of a few of the sources, e.g. the "How to travel in Dhaka" post on BBC. Although hosted by BBC, it seemed like a wiki/blog-type thing. But any way, you provided enough references from other solid sources, which made that specific source less than necessary. Arman (Talk) 01:51, 19 May 2008 (UTC)

Kazi Nazrul Islam

Muhammad Hamidullah Khan

My dear brother Aditya, curently I have 2 missions, first is to fix the citation of Kazi Nazrul Islam, the 2nd is to make a list of Bir Protik. In the meantime I have completed the list of Bir Shrestho, Bir Uttom and Bir Bikrom, and Bir Protik is left. Yes brtother, I will find some of Muhammad Hamidullah Khan. I like all of you, carry on. I am showing my gratefulness to all of you, all are trying to do something for us. I congratulate your efforts very much. --Anwarul Islam (talk) 07:19, 19 May 2008 (UTC)

Kazi Nazrul Islam

Hi Aditya Kabir - 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 12:49, 23 May 2008 (UTC)

For Your Concern

This Raipur Fishery is the biggest Fish hatchery in Asia it has reference but I dont know where it is. Thats why I told you to contribute it. Now I am in China due to this reason I can not collect information. I am not writing any original research of mine it is true maybe you dont have idea about that. Do you know in Raipur district there is a rakhalia textile mill It had been shut off by government as like as adamjee mill. In Bangladesh there is many thing we dont know that doesnt mean that it doesnt have any reference. If we dont try to find this then how can I get the information about bangladesh. You know In raipur fishery there is also student study about fishery.--MD. Kais Haider Chowdhury 12:06, 30 July 2008 (UTC)

my mistake

It was my mistake that i did not give sign. You can contribute from anywhere as you want. Actually I want to tell truth the Raipur Fishery is loacated in my own district raipur but I have little knowledge about and Now I am in china I have forgotten many thing thats why i told you to contribute it.--MD. Kais Haider Chowdhury 03:41, 30 July 2008 (UTC)

British Bangladeshi

  • The article British Bangladeshi has a lot of information including the history more importantly, which I have significantly developed, and I think it should be reviewed to see if it can be given a Good article or even a Featured article, because contains large amounts of information than other related article, so please can you review article? Thanks. Moshin (talk) 13:38, 9 July 2008 (UTC)
  • Thanks a lot, just updated it with pics, i hope its good enough to be a featured article. Moshin 21:22, 10 July 2008 (UTC)
  • Hi there Kabir, I just done the whole GA thing review again in the proper way, to you think you can review it now? Acha thanks! Moshin 14:18, 24 July 2008 (UTC)
  • Haha 'Mama Mia guy'. By the way it's not my real name just changed it so I don't get identified by me mates :) Now I will definetly remember, not to copy and paste some of the writing, basicially it's like a coursework right? Where you develop your work, and making sure it is backed by sources, which are not copied, I will keep that in mind for sure, just need a few more adjustments then that's it, but my grammar in English is seriously bad, can't really turn little words into big complexed one's, so I might need some help. Hopefull yeah, I would look onto other stuff, the Hindu population has gone smaller every year hasn't it, facing discrimination and all that heard about it, and the Ahmidiyass and Biharis. Anyways, Thanks a lot for your help. M Miah (talk) 14:16, 31 July 2008 (UTC)
  • Hey there speaking the truth all that creating the article has made me lost for thought and ideas on developing the article, please please can you help me out on one of these sections, Im finding it really hard to understand the context and put in my words in a professional way, please help.

Hello again Aditya! You added before that I need to expand the history section about the Liberation War, well I added some information about Osmani, who was the commander in chief, if it needs any more work, please let me know. Cheers! Mohsin 17:47, 16 August 2008 (UTC)

Hey, the article has just been promoted to a GA status, just like to say thanks for your support and everything and helping me out with the article, couldn't have done it without your help, Thanks!!! Mohsin 11:05, 23 August 2008 (UTC)
Another Barnstar? man did I deserve that one? :) hmm an FA would be really great for the article, the problem is mainly the length. I dont know if I should go to that article again, over 500 edits you know, do need a break from that, probably memorized by now :) Thanks a lot for your help, Cheers. Hey if you wanna make it an FA go ahead! Mohsin (talk) 12:00, 24 August 2008 (UTC)
Yeah all right probably somewhere around there, by the way what part of the world or country are you from? Mohsin (talk) 20:10, 24 August 2008 (UTC)
Just asking, thought you might be from the States, would've asked you to start on the Americans, but you live in Desh Mohsin (talk) 13:55, 25 August 2008 (UTC)

Justice Shahabuddin Ahmed

Dear Aditya, Justice Shahabuddin Ahmed was not a chief adviser, he was a president of an interim government of Bangladesh, he was appointed as head of the state and head of the government too. --Anwarul Islam (talk) 04:26, 19 August 2008 (UTC)

Khwaja Salimullah

Hi. I'm an admin working the copyright problems board and just wanted to say good work on catching copyright violations in that article! I've joined you in your effort to address those and believe that I've removed or revised everything that followed too closely still on the sources pasted in. As important a man as he seems to have been, I can see why he attracts outside contributors, but I do wish that they would familiarize themselves with our copyright policies before adding text. Anyway, good job. :) --Moonriddengirl (talk) 18:12, 20 August 2008 (UTC)

Thank you! That's very kind of you. :) I should have given it to you, though. All I did was follow up on what you were doing. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 19:16, 20 August 2008 (UTC)

Take a look

Please take a look to the newly created article Bangladesh University of Professionals. I think the hole article should be rewritten. Thank you. Tanvir che (talk) 06:49, 17 October 2008 (UTC)

Now the article got a shape. Thank you. Tanvir che (talk) 05:37, 18 October 2008 (UTC)

List of Prime Ministers of Bangladesh

Dear Aditya, we can write another article titled head of the government of Bangladesh. The history of the government of Bangladesh is not straight, some times it was under presidential and some times it was under the parliamentary system. So, we can start an individual article on the Head of the Government of Bangladesh. We will contribute as our capacity. --Anwarul Islam (talk) 15:49, 23 October 2008 (UTC)

What's the final status?

Dhaka FAR

Can you please handle the latest comments? I'm out till the 20th ... :( --Ragib (talk) 18:31, 16 March 2009 (UTC)

Dhaka article

I am kind of busy right now, I am wondering if you can do it. Someone need to fix the citations in Dhaka's article. Most of the citations are messed up. All the citations need to be in the same format (I recommend making all the citations in APA format WP:Citing_sources/example_style since most of the article already is in the APA format) and all the citations need the required informations such as author, date of the article, retrieved date, format and etc as recommended by wikipedia (WP:CITE). For example, "Town planning for Bangladesh : Vision 2020". The Daily Star. 2008-11-08. http://www.thedailystar.net/story.php?nid=62337. Retrieved on 2008-12-15." is missing the author and is cited in MLA format (in APA format, the date should be after the author NOT near the end). Tarikur (talk) 16:51, 24 March 2009 (UTC)

editing of bangladesh history articles by User:113.150.9.211

Someone should take note of what User:113.150.9.211 has been doing to liberation war related articles. I first came across his edits in the Mujibnagar Government article, and then restored the previous version.

Now I see a lot of crucial articles have been removed from Template:Bangladesh liberation. This is the template before the edits- http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Template:Bangladesh_liberation&diff=421484001&oldid=403442220

I understand you are an administrator and I request you to address these edits being made without any explanation and which may even amount to vandalism.--111.221.0.2 (talk) 07:34, 20 April 2011 (UTC)

Ahem! No, I'm not an Admin. But, Wikipedia depends on us, regular editors, not Admins. Make changes where you see change is needed. If you need help, I promise to be there. And, I have taken care of the template already. I believe it'll need a bit more work though. Please, let me know where you need help. I hope to check through the edits you referred to in a day or two. Cheers. Aditya(talk • contribs) 14:42, 20 April 2011 (UTC)

Railways

I noticed that you created the Bengal Assam Railway page in 2008. I have recently put up three pages - Assam Bengal Railway, Eastern Bengal Railway and Bengal Dooars Railway, and also some railway line and railway station pages. I shall be grateful for your having a look at the pages and add whatever you think is necessary. Cheers. - Chandan Guha (talk) 02:11, 26 February 2012 (UTC)

Greater Bangladesh

Can you please relist this article for deletion. I am a bit confused about the procedure. This article should be deleted or renamed to 'Greater Bangladesh conspiracy theory' --Iball (talk) 21:02, 1 March 2011 (UTC)

OK. If you think it's notable it can stay. But will require a complete rewrite.--Iball (talk) 06:22, 2 March 2011 (UTC)
