As of now, most of the sources referenced is in Bengali as it was translated from the article in Bangla Wikipedia; but it would be probably better if these sources are in English. Zeeshan Y Tariq (talk) 22:45, 14 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

New section

[edit]

@Wiki N Islam:, @Bruno pnm ars:, @Zeeshan Y Tariq:, @Uss157: and @মোহাম্মদ জনি হোসেন: The article should have a "Reaction" section about who and what organisations supported and unsupported the movement. The section should also include the reaction of the foreign world and the foreign publications. Mehedi Abedin 06:16, 16 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

If anyone of the editors mentioned has reliable sources, then feel free to add with the reference provided. But, remember to always use an unbiased and neutral point of view on the matter, Thank you. Bruno pnm ars (talk) 07:43, 16 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I totally agree. This article must include which political parities are behind this protest. 2001:56A:7C00:AF00:A42B:E5FC:CFAB:C10C (talk) 04:10, 22 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Mehedi Abedin, @Bruno pnm ars, @Zeeshan Y Tariq, @Uss157, @মোহাম্মদ জনি হোসেন please can anyone add this article for nomination in the Wikipedia:In the news/Candidates, after all it's a recent event widely reported in the international media. It would be helpful in the development & update of this article. Wiki N Islam (talk) 11:58, 16 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Wiki N Islam It was shown in the news in 15 July I guess. But if you want to nominate it for second time then I guess people like @Nokib Sarkar: can help you on it who is more interested in the topic. Mehedi Abedin 12:02, 16 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Also pinging @Zkabirkhan: @Halcyon009: @Lahsim Niasoh: @Raiyan Kazi: @Rishad Ahmed747: @GucciNuzayer: @Mollathevalor: for further help. I think we need to discuss here before making big changes on the article because it is a recent ongoing event and sensitive topic. We should work together so that people can find reliable information from the page with no WP:POV and we should edit the article in such a way so that the page doesn't bring any unwanted consequences. Mehedi Abedin 12:08, 16 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Also, I am going to propose the page for protection to prevent any disruptive editing. Mehedi Abedin 12:10, 16 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I think we need to add separate section for the Martyr in this movement, based on the online sources what all of you think Zkabirkhan (talk) 13:58, 16 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Zkabirkhan Add under "Casualties and losses" section created in the article. Mehedi Abedin 14:05, 16 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I agree to proposing the page for protection. I would also try my best to make sure this page is written using proper English and ensure impartiality/neutrality. GucciNuzayer (talk) 16:38, 16 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Shall we mention the names of those who were arrested after the funeral today or not? Zkabirkhan (talk) 11:12, 17 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Nope. Sharpnife (talk) 11:26, 17 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Mehedi Abedin The article was never shown on the front page as ITN. So, I think it is time we should propose for the ITN with the following blurb: "6000 injuries and 12 deaths confirmed during the ongoing quota reform movement in Bangladesh." Nokib Sarkar knock 13:47, 18 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I am so sorry for the lack of internet I was unable to contribute. But I think the article needs correction. The metro station was not only closed for the students' protetest but also because of fire I have too much limitations in my internet connection so I am only able to reply please make the correction here is the source https://www.thedailystar.net/news/bangladesh/transport/news/fire-incident-near-mirpur-10-station-disrupts-metro-rail-service-3659636 @Mehedi Abedin@GucciNuzayer@Nokib Sarkar@Sharpnife@Wiki N Islam Zkabirkhan (talk) 12:13, 24 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Added. Wiki N Islam (talk) 10:11, 25 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The result option in the Infobox isn't showing. Can you please help me here?? It contains the Supreme Court rulling. Wiki N Islam (talk) 10:14, 25 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I think someone removed it to make the article one sided we have to be careful about them to make this article neutral. Zkabirkhan (talk) 10:46, 25 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Result is needed when status is solved (now status is ongoing). Removing status option from the infobox will show the result data in the infobox. I checked it. @Wiki N Islam Lahsim Niasoh (talk) 22:06, 26 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Help

[edit]

Injuries option is not showing in the Infobox. Please someone rectify it. Wiki N Islam (talk) 16:16, 16 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Same here. Mehedi Abedin 16:30, 16 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Should we include the dead Chhatra Dal activist with the number of dead protesters?? Wiki N Islam (talk) 09:17, 18 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

There is an article on Wikipedia about Mir Mahfuzur Rahman Mugdho. Could someone please translate it into English so we can add his name to the article? (User talk:Zkabirkhan) 07:49, 2 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Zkabirkhan Already added. you can see Mir Mahfuzur Rahman Mugdho. Lahsim Niasoh (talk) 16:47, 2 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

the slogans

[edit]

@Mehedi Abedin @Bruno pnm ars @Zeeshan Y Tariq @মোহাম্মদ জনি হোসেন @Wiki N Islam

Guys, there is a conflict in the controversy section, the protestors used the word "shoirochar" and not "shorkar" also it was "chaite gelam",not "cheyechhilam". Im bringing it up because the change was undone more than once and also there are sources attached. If the slogans were otherwise please discuss here before making a change. Thank You. Uss157 (talk) 19:12, 16 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Uss157 Looks like the slogans have multiple versions and they are creating confusions. Mehedi Abedin 19:27, 16 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Uss157@Mehedi Abedin Yes, slogans are indeed multiple versions in different sources. I think the best would be add a footnote about versions.Nokib Sarkar knock 22:15, 16 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Should we remove "Bangla Blockade" from the beginning, after all the current phrase isn't Bangla Blockade at all. It was the initial phrase when protesters called for a demonstration in Shahbagh. The introductory section also writes about it later. So I think no need to keep the phrase "dubbed as Bangla Blockade by the protesters". Wiki N Islam (talk) 04:49, 17 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Wiki N Islam We can write about Bangla Blockade in the suitable section and remove that from the top. Mehedi Abedin 07:29, 17 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
[edit]

I request all editor not to use images from websites or others. Wikipedia strictly maintain copyright rules and photos from your own camera and phone and also photos under CC4 licenses can be used here. Also notice if your writings match with the sources because that would be copyright infringement too. Always write in your own words so that we can see the differences between writing styles. Mehedi Abedin 09:50, 17 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The Timeline Section Needs Cleanup

[edit]

The section contains too much intricate details and needs Cleanup. Sharpnife (talk) 11:22, 17 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I think we can create a new article from it named Timeline of 2024 Bangladesh quota reform movement and replace the section with a new section "Movement" (which will summarize the timeline section) if it gets longer in future. But its not the time yet, but I think we have to do it in near future. Need other user's comment on this proposal. Mehedi Abedin 12:46, 17 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Proposal

[edit]

Replace the timeline section with "Movement" which will summarize the timeline and make another article named Timeline of 2024 Bangladesh quota reform movement from the section.

Questions to consider

  • Is this proposal justified?
  • If yes, then how many days after the proposal we can execute it?

Linking website in infobox

[edit]

@Redwiat: I notice that you re-added the link to the website of the protest movement in the infobox, which I previously removed. I don't think there is any need to place it there, but do you think there is a good reason to do so? Gödel2200 (talk) 00:35, 18 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Gödel2200 i would say no. it doesn't seem to be relevant Sharpnife (talk) 00:47, 18 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I re-added the link to the website of the protest movement in the infobox because it serves several important purposes: Redwiat (talk) 05:50, 18 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I re-added the link to the website of the protest movement in the infobox because it serves as a non-profit source of up-to-date information directly from the activists and supporters involved. The website provides comprehensive coverage, including news updates, a picture gallery, videos, and important information for activists and supporters, which can be valuable for those seeking detailed and current insights about the movement. Additionally, it offers resources like the contact form and blood donation helpline that are crucial for aiding injured protesters. Including this link in the infobox ensures that readers have easy access to an authoritative and relevant source directly related to the subject of the article. I believe this enhances the quality and depth of information available to Wikipedia users. Redwiat (talk) 08:19, 18 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Redwiat: But the website is absolutely not an independent source, so we should not be using it for any information about the protests. Things like a link to a donation helpline are not at all relevant to information required on an encyclopedia. Gödel2200 (talk) 13:26, 18 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I understand your concern about the website's independence, but allow me to explain why I believe it should be included. While Wikipedia typically favors independent sources for factual information, the protest movement's website serves a crucial role as a primary source directly from those involved. This provides readers with real-time updates and firsthand accounts, which are often not immediately accessible through traditional media sources.
The website offers comprehensive coverage, including news updates, visuals, and essential resources like the blood donation helpline, which directly support the movement's efforts. These aspects are relevant because they provide contextual understanding and practical support information for readers interested in the current state of the protests.
Including the link in the infobox ensures transparency and accessibility to this primary source of information, enhancing the article's relevance and immediacy for users seeking detailed insights directly from the movement's perspective. This complements the encyclopedia's goal of providing comprehensive and current information on significant topics.
I hope this clarifies why I believe the inclusion of the website link is beneficial for the article. Let's ensure the content remains informative and relevant while adhering to Wikipedia's guidelines. Redwiat (talk) 13:37, 18 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Including the link in the infobox ensures transparency and accessibility to this primary source of information, enhancing the article's relevance and immediacy for users seeking detailed insights directly from the movement's perspective. Please read WP:NIS. If we use this website to cite any information at all, we must explicitly say "According to this organization...", and we cannot simply use it to cite statements without saying what the organization is. But the link has no place in the infobox; see for example the Black Lives Matter page. The link is instead placed in the "External links" section, which is where the link to the movements page should be placed on this article as well. Gödel2200 (talk) 13:51, 18 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
not sure if this link can be used :
https://shohid.info/ 100.15.223.118 (talk) 06:00, 25 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Synthesis

[edit]

The infobox currently claims 45 protesters have died, and ~9000+ have been injured. It cites these statements with a massive amount of sources, none of which explicitly say 45 deaths or ~9000+ injuries, so this seems like SYNTH. Gödel2200 (talk) 13:53, 18 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Missing reported

Flags

[edit]

whoever remove the flag in infobox..... please stop doing that... i spend so much time adding these flags and let readers see the organisations'/parties' flags just like in 2024 Bolivian Coup Foxy Husky (talk) 06:09, 27 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Name of the organization

[edit]

@Bruno pnm ars, @Lahsim Niasoh, @Zkabirkhan@Nokib Sarkar What's the English name of the organization? "Anti-discrimination Students' Movement" or "Students Against Discrimination"? Most sources support the latter one. Correct one should be used. Wiki N Islam (talk) 14:33, 27 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The organization dosenot have any official English name. Like প্রথম আলো is called Prothom Alo. It can be also mentioned like this. Zkabirkhan (talk) 14:53, 27 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I have corrected the name "Students Against Discrimination" many times appearing in the article previously, probably they were added from the respective citations. And the name "Anti-discrimination Students' Movement" was set by me in the early stage cause then most of the citations mentioning the organization's name were copied from Bengali article and lacked any English translation. The article only used the name Boishomyobirodhi Chhatro Andolon then, and I thought to translate "Anti-discrimination Students' Movement" for this Bangla name. But now this seems "self-established" to myself. Wiki N Islam (talk) 16:54, 27 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Ending date of phase 2

[edit]

@Addo Adwin didnt phase 2 ended like 22 july since Anti-discrimination Students' Movement organisation annoucned they suspended on that day? Foxy Husky (talk) 12:00, 29 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Foxy Husky (talk · contribs) One group of 6 detained protest coordinators of Anti-discrimination Students Movement organisation announced withdrawal of all programmes from the DB (police) custody on Sunday (July 28) night, local media reports. But other free protest coordinators declared to continue the protests to achieve 9 points.

speaking of continuous protest.... isnt it ok to extend the phase 2 to present or just go with 3rd phase (status quo)? @Addo Adwin Foxy Husky (talk) 12:27, 29 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Foxy Husky (talk · contribs) Sure, it's ok. My opinion is to extend the phase 2 to present.Addo Adwin (talk) 12:51, 29 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
ok but for now we gonna see whether its new chapter of the reform movement because the protesters just started after days of significant inactivity so..... ya gonna go with phase 3 and see how Foxy Husky (talk) 14:51, 29 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Foxy Husky (talk · contribs) Official ending date of phase 2 is 28. Fight was still going on after 22 July when Bangladaesh compley cut off from internet.Addo Adwin (talk) 14:55, 29 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
hmmmm.... idk man.... @Wiki N Islam corrected the date stating that the coordinators "suspended their protests on 22 July, not yesterday. All of their coordinators aren't agree that protests ended yesterday."
maybe try cclarifing with him @Addo Adwin Foxy Husky (talk) 14:57, 29 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
It's not official. They are divided in the decision. They had suspended the protests in 22 July. I support the date 22 July, which is their suspension date, or the date 19 July after they sit for negotiations and ended their complete shutdown activity. But not 28 July, it's not correct.
Mentioning others for help
@Bruno pnm ars, @Zkabirkhan Wiki N Islam (talk) 15:52, 29 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
This group suspended the protests in 28 July from the DB (police) custody not in 22 July.Addo Adwin (talk) 15:56, 29 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
yes I think it is 28 July and your words are correct Zkabirkhan (talk) 16:13, 29 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I have already told you that they are divided. The last time they unitedly called for a suspension was 22 July. That day they called for a suspension for 48 hours and then extended it to another 48 hours. Since 28 July, their one group at DB office called for ending the movement, but at this date their other group called for new activities after the suspension since 22. So, the conclusion is the second phase started in 29 July “after the suspensions from 22 July”. The date 28 isn't universally agreed, at least by the platform Anti-discrimination Students' Movement. Wiki N Islam (talk) 16:30, 29 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
i think for now we gonna keep 22 July as ending phase until or maybe unless the ending date of phase is confirmed Foxy Husky (talk) 16:48, 29 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I agree.Addo Adwin (talk) 16:49, 29 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Discuss before page move

[edit]

The article is the major topic in Bangladesh and important. It will not be best for us to boldly move the page into any other title. I reverted the recent page move because of WP:NOR, WP:COMMONNAME and Wikipedia:Ambiguous words. If reliable sources call it as massacre then there will be no problem to move the page. We have to maintain Wikipedia guidelines no matter what the reality is or we think because of Wikipedia:Verifiability, not truth. Also, we should consider the present political situation and how we can enrich the article under the present obstacles. Mehedi Abedin 20:29, 30 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

End of the movement?

[edit]

I think this movement ended today after the declaration of One point movement. We can seal and finalize this article and expand the new article from the next day. Mehedi Abedin 18:31, 3 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, it's not a quota reform protest anymore. It's now become a anti government and pro democratic protest!! Now, We should work on the "One point Movement" page Mollathevalor (talk) 02:49, 4 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

this movement has ended. Some non-Bangladeshi media are calling Non-cooperation movement (2024) as quota movement. Wiki N Islam (talk) 18:14, 4 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Use as Reference in BD Massacre article

[edit]

I think this page should be used as reference in List of massacres in Bangladesh and added as a new row. Unanimous350 (talk) 12:47, 4 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Result: Fully Successful or Partially Successful?

[edit]

is the movement result in fully success or partially success? because some demands still yet not met because of One Point Movement still ongoing with the goal of government resignment @Wiki N Islam @Mehedi Abedin Foxy Husky (talk) 05:51, 5 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Merger of Bangladesh quota reform movement and Non-cooperation movement?

[edit]

ok.... Sheikh Hasina alr resigned and since both quota reform and non-cooperation movements successful in her resignation, maybe can consider merging both together under a new name or keep separate? @Wiki N Islam@Mehedi Abedin@Bruno pnm ars Foxy Husky (talk) 10:24, 5 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I don't support. Non-cooperation movement isn't about quota. Both's goal was different. The coordinators said that it's not about quota anymore. Wiki N Islam (talk) 10:39, 5 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
i see..... guess we gonna keep 'em separate for now then.... Foxy Husky (talk) 10:56, 5 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
i no Disagree, these are two different movement. One revolving around reforming quota and the other one revolving around resignation of the government. Bruno pnm ars (talk) 12:12, 5 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
but now that article now 'anti-government protest' maybe consider creating mew page for anti government protest there and add these two there? Foxy Husky (talk) 13:12, 5 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
It already exists l, Here's the article Bangladesh protests (2022–24) Bruno pnm ars (talk) 14:31, 5 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
ah... thanks @Bruno pnm ars Foxy Husky (talk) 16:36, 5 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Not merge, but we can combine these two and other political movement related article and create a new article which will describe anti-government movements. Mehedi Abedin 16:55, 5 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
but i think Bangladesh protests (2022–2024) alr exist so.... maybe can go edit there for me or nah? @Mehedi Abedin Foxy Husky (talk) 17:25, 5 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Propose for the creation of new article

[edit]

Now many newspapers say that there has been an mass uprising Bangladesh (see 1, 2, 3). That's why I am proposing another article named 2024 Mass Uprising in Bangladesh. This article should contain short summary of what happened in 2024 Bangladesh quota reform movement, Non-cooperation movement (2024), Long March to Dhaka and Resignation of Sheikh Hasina. That doesn’t mean that we should delete the articles, we will keep the articles. But I think we should create a summarized version of these topics.

I also propose to rename the category Category:2024 Bangladesh quota reform movement to Category:2024 Mass Uprising in Bangladesh as the category not only contain quota reform movement contents anymore. Also I propose to rename List of people killed in Bangladesh quota reform movement to List of people killed in 2024 Mass Uprising in Bangladesh that should contain the list of dead people from all movements we had in this uprising.

I am proposing this because it will be beneficial to document the movements so that in future people can know about it.

Maybe some users will advise to use the article Bangladesh protests (2022–2024), but the reality is Bangladesh protests was a political movement by Bangladesh Nationalist Party. Technically students have no connection with this political movement. What students did was non-political way of overthrowing the Hasina government. So that should be separate from this topic. Mehedi Abedin 23:34, 5 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Better option would be to rename Non-cooperation movement (2024) to 2024 Mass Uprising in Bangladesh and treat it as the parent article for all the events from August 4 and onwards. 2024 Bangladesh quota reform movement would find its place in the background. Creating new forks everyday will divert the focus from improving the main articles, although you can always split them up if they become too long. Nomian (talk) 01:36, 6 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Request for edit: list of demands does not match source

[edit]

I noticed that the article's list of protestors' demands does not match the cited source. Under the nine-point demands, the fifth is listed as "There should be a nationwide ban on student politics in all educational institutions in Bangladesh" that cites an Al Jazeera article which does not say this.

The Al Jazeera article lists the fifth demand as "The police and goons who attacked the students and those who instigated the attacks must be arrested." The closest entry in the Al Jazeera article, listed as the seventh demand, is "Bangladesh Chhatra League [BCL, the pro-government student wing, which is, effectively, the government’s vigilante force] must be banned from student politics and a student union established." https://www.aljazeera.com/opinions/2024/7/23/bangladesh-protests-are-no-longer-about-the-quota-system 107.159.2.230 (talk) 22:06, 6 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

New section regarding role of West and claims by Sheikh Hasina made in May 2024 Sarvagyana guru (talk) 06:58, 7 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Do not reference Indian news sources regarding recent events

[edit]

WP:NEWSORGINDIA, just about every piece from any Indian news outlet I've seen so far is politically charged against Bangladesh in some form or the other, I'm sure others will agree with me on this

It is a kind request to all to not cite Indian news sources regarding Bangladesh-related articles (including this one) KabirDH (talk) 20:08, 7 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not delete any section without reaching a consensus. It does not matter what the personal opinions are. But facts have to be reported. Unless it is proved that Sheikh Hasina had not made these allegations. Further please note that the media outlet that were quoted in this section are listed in WP:NEWSORGINDIA. So please request you to be more circumspect while deleting material. Try to achieve a general consensus before deleting any material.

The fact is: you deliberately added and readded a reference that stated the existence of a fictitious Nobel laureate as fact. That already raises questions about the credibility of whatever it is you are pushing. Borgenland (talk) 09:09, 8 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
It appears that (Yunus Hasan) was a quote reference to Muhammad Yunus, at least based on the source: ""Nobel laureate Yunus Hasan of Gramin Bank is also based there and is a lobbyist in the US,” sources said."
Nonetheless, anything citing anonymous sources should generally not be cited. Sheikh Hasina's allegations about United States involvement in regime change appear similar to Lettergate (Pakistan) but you would need better [and more indepth] sources about it for inclusion in articles. Gotitbro (talk) 09:44, 8 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
That is an incorrect citation of the guideline, here is what WP:NEWSORGINDIA (which redirects to Wikipedia:Reliable sources/Perennial sources#Paid reporting in Indian news organizations) actually says:

Even legitimate Indian news organizations (print, television, and web) intermingle regular news with sponsored content and press release–based write-ups, often with inadequate or no disclosure. This is especially the case in reviews, articles about celebrities, and profiles of persons, companies and entities of borderline notability. This issue is distinct from that of journalism quality and bias, and that of sham news-style websites.

It is about paid news in India, not the veracity of reporting in Indian media. See Wikipedia:Reliable sources/Perennial sources for which sources are actually disallowed here on enwiki, there is no blanket ban on Indian news, the ones clearly not allowed are those WP:generally unreliable and the like. The reliability of any article from a source not listed there would need to be separately discussed here. Gotitbro (talk) 08:23, 8 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I don't support this measure as there are lot of Indian publications which are good you're focusing on the one that are loud and popular and people above have already cited Wikipedia:Reliable sources/Perennial sources you should include Indian sources that are already in there. By the way this article already cites The Wire, The Hindu, The Indian Express, The New Indian Express, Hindustan Times, Deccan Herald, The Times Of India, Rising Kashmir.

Possibility of new article

[edit]

@Wiki N Islam:, @Addo Adwin:, @ApurboWiki2024:, @Lahsim Niasoh:, @Bruno pnm ars: Recently many sources call the killing incidents during 2024 Bangladesh quota reform movement as "July massacre" including New Age, Ittefaq, Naya Diganta, Inqilab etc. It is an established term for the killing happened during the movement now. Also there will be trials for the massacre and it is going to be important topic soon. We can create an article for July massacre. Mehedi Abedin 12:35, 14 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Agree Bruno pnm ars (talk) 13:22, 14 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: I rather propose renaming the article 2024 Bangladesh quota reform movement and massacre, just like the 1989 Tiananmen Square protests and massacre. Wiki N Islam (talk) 14:25, 14 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Agree with @Wiki N Islam. Lahsim Niasoh (talk) 14:42, 14 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Wiki N Islam July massacre is more than the movement. And unlike the 1989 Tiananmen Square protests and massacre, it has the necessary characteristics to be an independent article because July massacre also consists of the deaths happened in August with July. Mehedi Abedin 00:56, 15 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Also, we call Tiananmen incidents like that because the sources call it as both movement and massacre. But there is no reliable source call Quota reform movement as "2024 Bangladesh quota reform movement and massacre". So naming the article like this would be WP:OR. July massacre is stated by only massacre by reliable sources. Mehedi Abedin 00:59, 15 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Second the argument made by Mehedi Abedin, hence Agree with creating the article with the title "July massacre" Bruno pnm ars (talk) 14:30, 15 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Agree for a new article Wiki N Islam (talk) 04:46, 16 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Which name would be more appropriate? July massacre or 2024 Bangladesh massacre or 2024 Bangladesh student massacre? Wiki N Islam (talk) 04:48, 16 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Wiki N Islam As there is no other article named "July massacre", it seems 2024 July massacre or just July massacre will be suitable. Also, sources call it simply "July massacre" and this name is well known, so we don't need to name it "2024 Bangladesh massacre" or "2024 Bangladesh student massacre".

Why BNP’s party flag not shown?

Extended July
[edit]

As the protests continued into the month of July, the protesters vowed to see it to the end, by declaring that their month of July will not end and August will not begin [1][2] until they have achieved success, even though the page of the calendar has turned. Thus, they counted the following days as 32nd July, 33rd July and so on, until achieving final victory on what became 36th July. They mentioned later that they had enough spirits to take it upto 3600th of July if so needed [3].

Role of women

[edit]

@Mollathevalor:, I reverted this edit because the reason you showed is vague and not in terms of the Wikipedia policy. You said "People don't want to know the historical participation of women because it was a mass uprising!! Everyone who lived in Bangladesh was participated in this uprising!!so I will remove this section again again if you put it again and again!!"

Now who decided that people don't want to know the historical participation of women because it was a mass uprising? We don't know every readers. Every reader have their own priority and choice.

"Everyone who lived in Bangladesh was participated in this uprising" – yes, of course. But see that Wikipedia keeps information backed by reliable sources and the content says that "The movement witnessed an unusual number of women participating, which is rare in the history of Bangladesh". This is quite unusual and it is notable enough to write that on the article. Removing that is out of question. Everyone joined the movement but the women's role here was unusual.

For example, see Iranian Revolution. The article has "Women's role" section too. And nobody removed that. Also, adding Women section doesn’t belittle other people's contribution to the movement. So it is totally illogical to remove it. Also, it is against Wikipedia policy.

So unless anyone show any valid reason in the favor of the section's removal, we should keep the section. And I believe many users will agree with this. Mehedi Abedin 15:12, 1 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Removal of R&AW of India from Infobox

[edit]

Let me preface this by saying that I'm an Indian so the accusations and counter-accusations can be avoided. Now coming to the point So far only one source supports R&AW being involved on behalf of Hasina. The Source itself is nowhere to be found on Wikipedia:Reliable sources/Perennial sources. We should either cite more high quality reliable sources or drop R&AW altogether. DataCrusade1999 (talk) 10:27, 7 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Non-cooperation movement (2024) article has already removed R&AW mention I think it should be removed here as well unless someone has high quality sources that are listed on Wikipedia:Reliable sources/Perennial sources. Also if its extremely necessary to mention R&AW then instead of the word alleged, disputed or contested should be added but also remember that this might raise disputed by whom or contested by whom citation problem. DataCrusade1999 (talk) 12:52, 15 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I have removed R&AW from the infobox. If someone wants to add it again please bring some high quality sources that are listed over at the Wikipedia:Reliable sources/Perennial sources list. DataCrusade1999 (talk) 15:17, 26 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Possible new article (2)

[edit]

@Mehedi Abedin, @Bruno pnm ars, @মোহাম্মদ জনি হোসেন, @ApurboWiki2024, @Lahsim Niasoh, @BangladeshiEditorInSylhet @Addo Adwin, @Borgenland, @Wrzedn should we make a seperate article titled "July Revolution" covering both the quota movement & the non-cooperation movement? Because most of the sources mention both movements together, not seperately, death tolls & other datas appear include both. Seperate article covering both has been created in Bangla Wikipedia too. "July Revolution (Bangladesh)" currently redirects here, this name is being used to describe both of the movements. Ahammed Saad (talk) 09:11, 17 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, Ahammed, for pinging me. From what I understand, the July Revolution is essentially the result of the 2024 Bangladesh Quota Reform Movement, which served as the precursor to the Non-Cooperation Movement. Simply put, the July Revolution is the collective term for these two movements. I’m happy to have a separate article titled the July Revolution. If we can stitch both the Bangladesh Quota Reform Movement and the Non-Cooperation Movement articles properly, I believe it could become a “Good Article” on Wikipedia. Cheers! Wrzedn (talk) 09:49, 17 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Support, but why not using common name? I thought "Student–People's uprising" was the common name. Also "2024 Bangladesh Mass Uprising" is known in reliable sources. Also I propose to rename Category:2024 Bangladesh quota reform movement to make it the proposed article's home category. Mehedi Abedin 09:55, 17 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Mehedi has a good point. I've seen "student-people's uprising" being used by Dhaka Tribune and Prothom Alo English. That's the common name used by local media outlets, I guess. International media, including the Time, Washington Post, BBC, ABC called it a mass uprising. Yah, either of these terms sound appropriate. We can always have also known as "July Revolution" in the lead. Wrzedn (talk) 10:30, 17 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I suggested the name for the similarity with July massacre. But I have no doubt about Student–People's uprising or 2024 Bangladesh mass uprising. Ahammed Saad (talk) 15:14, 19 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Support, as per @Mehedi Abedin. Bruno pnm ars (talk) 13:00, 17 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Comment. Concerned though about overlap. Had it not been for the dedication displayed by users in Bangladesh to massively expand both events, I would have leaned toward a merge of both articles. Definitely not opposing this though. Borgenland (talk) 14:25, 17 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Ahammed Saad @Borgenland @Bruno pnm ars @Wrzedn DeloarAkram created the article, but it needs heavy copyediting, we need help, the name is Student–People's uprising. Mehedi Abedin 11:57, 13 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks, Mehedi. Will copyedit the article once all the sections are complete. Thanks! Wrzedn (talk) 11:16, 15 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Section on Indian involvement

[edit]

I found mirrorasia.net which seems to be a Bangladeshi news website published from Germany but it is not a Germany based magazine. Now coming to the claims made in the section the source of the claim is https://bangla.themirrorasia.net/news/2024/07/30/2577 this claim of this source is also shared on an instagram page https://www.instagram.com/amarbanglaremati/p/C-Ey3VbO8yy/ the official facebook page of the mirror asia has also shared the news https://www.facebook.com/permalink.php/?story_fbid=122121157700343289&id=61560298676368 this same news is then reproduced by two other outlets with few minor changes here and there 1. https://dailyinqilab.com/national/news/683378 2. Another one there's also a piece here https://bangladeshcentre.org.uk/2024/08/09/how-delhi-and-hasinas-ploy-was-ultimately-foiled/ this also uses same mirrorasia.


A guy named Uttam Guha wrote the article but I couldn't find any more of his works. In the article on mirrorasia it says that Uttam is from Delhi but I couldn't find his name on accredited journalist list https://accreditation.pib.gov.in/acridexsrch.aspx and he is not on Foreign Correspondent Club (FCC) from what I could find.


It seems that this whole story is just a fake news since no source on Wikipedia:Reliable sources/Perennial sources even Talks about R&AW sending people in Bangladesh. This happens in India a lot that's how i recognized it in India a wire agency called ANI also used fake news and websites to propagate false claims If you want to read more about ANI. https://www.newslaundry.com/2023/02/23/ani-played-key-role-based-reports-on-fake-sources-new-eu-group-report-on-indian-influence-networks

Since the whole section seems to rely on this one source which isn't even reliable. I propose that the whole section regarding R&AW ought to be removed unless better sources are there which substantiate these claims. These sources ought to be on Wikipedia:Reliable sources/Perennial sources. There's enough written about India on this page no need to include fringe theories which aren't even reported by any of the sources on Wikipedia:Reliable sources/Perennial sources.

And before someone says anything I'll say it that since I'm from India I can only intervene on claims regarding India cause I understand India better. That is why I have limited myself to India in this article and other regarding the protests.


DataCrusade1999 (talk) 16:18, 26 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I have noticed that you had removed the name of R&AW without any consensus. I appreciate your patience & analysis regarding this, but I think you should wait a few time to discuss the topic then change, as it's a very sensitive info. Ahammed Saad (talk) 17:04, 26 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I waited 11 days before making the change. since No response was given I made the changes myself as there are discussion going on about making this a Good Article. and sources need to be reliable the citation that was referred here is questionable. If any source which is listed on Wikipedia:Reliable sources/Perennial sources or considered reliable generally then R&AW should be included otherwise it should not be included which is the case now. DataCrusade1999 (talk) 17:12, 26 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Seems like you are removing this by your own opinion. I'd previously told you to wait for a time to come to a consensus about this issue. Infos in Wikipedia change rapidly. Look the Alleged Indian involvement section, some new infos regarding this were added by me. Perhaps, a better & more reliable source may come for this. I better add the reliable source template on this regard than removing it. Ahammed Saad (talk) 20:22, 26 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Since you know this article better than me except the on cases involving India I suggest that you should ping the most active contributors on this page so we can have a discussion otherwise we're looking at edit war. And like I said I waited 11 days before making the necessary changes.
The section that you're referring to regarding India is a work of one guy with shady characteristics. And the ATN source that you have added is inaccessible and even ATN is not on Wikipedia:Reliable sources/Perennial sources and I'm not aware if ATN is considered reliable in Bangladesh. If you think ATN is reliable then add it to Wikipedia:Reliable sources/Perennial sources after discussing on the relevant page.
There's also logical inconsistency in what your contribution alleges. why India would send Hindi speaking people to Bangladesh when it can send Bengali speaking people from West Bengal I'm aware that there are differences in the language but those differences can be bridged easily by training someone who knows Bengali. why send someone from North India.
This Indian involvement claim should be fact-checked I don't know if guys have something like Alt-News in Bangladesh but these claims should be verified first a lot of times what you hear in a video gets distorted and audio can't be made out there are tools to check video/audio/image/metadata tampering I'll check those claims when I get free time but put all the resources here so that I can verify and post the result here for everyone to see. DataCrusade1999 (talk) 08:01, 27 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Ahammed Saad do get back to me so we can build consensus. DataCrusade1999 (talk) 08:04, 27 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Ahammed Saad You also seem to not read anything that I have written on this talk page in this section. Whatever you have added is a REPRODUCTION OF THE MIRROR ASIA story no one else like The Economist, New York Times or for that matter anyone except the mirror asia is reporting this alleged involvement of R&AW. Bangladesh doesn't like India is not something that is hidden you can write more about it on India-Bangladesh Relations Wikipedia page. But don't include anything in the section without talking first. DataCrusade1999 (talk) 09:47, 30 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Ahammed Saad don't make changes to that section without talking first. you're starting an edit war. talk first build consensus then make the change. you lectured me on it now you're doing it. NOT COOL DataCrusade1999 (talk) 09:28, 30 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@DataCrusade1999 it's not an edit war. The info I added was an interview of the prosecutor of ICT, not a report on Indian involvement. There is no alteration of informations of the interview in the video. Since it's actually a event, I thought it can be added without any discussion. Ahammed Saad (talk) 15:57, 30 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
you removed better source needed tag DataCrusade1999 (talk) 20:24, 30 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
because, as I said, it was an interview, not a report or editorial, that's y I removed better source citation. Ahammed Saad (talk) 15:23, 1 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
It's been a week. Except the two of us no one here seems to be interested in this discussion. since you're familiar with this article's most active editors you should ping them, otherwise I will move ahead with my edit. DataCrusade1999 (talk) 13:51, 10 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@DataCrusade1999 It’s seems like you and Ahammed Saad in disagreement.
Those claims are allegedly and rumors. it’s might real or false. That's why section name is "allegedly Indian involvement ". Gaplow43286 (talk) 07:46, 12 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Gaplow43286 Should Wikipedia mention rumors in the infobox? Does Wikipedia has any guidelines regarding that? All I'm saying is that no one from Wikipedia:Reliable sources/Perennial sources even mentions R&AW. DataCrusade1999 (talk) 08:51, 12 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@DataCrusade1999 No. I am personally think Raw is not should in Infobox. But the section should be not removed, this section is important. So let's remove Raw from Infobox for now. And if information in section later comes to be false, we should remove the section. Gaplow43286 (talk) 11:16, 12 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Gaplow43286 Yes R&AW should not be in the infobox. But as you say "And if information in section later comes to be false, we should remove the section." My question to this statement would be Why would anyone refute the assertions made by some of these sources regarding R&AW? The sources included aren't prominent so no media agency is paying attention to these article so the need to refute this would never arise. DataCrusade1999 (talk) 13:02, 12 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@DataCrusade1999 I am Bangladeshi and I don’t' even know about The Mirror Asia. Some news agencies copy and paste the information but they are not considered reliable. So this source might be fake.
I live in Thakurgaon, but I was in Dhaka during July-August. At that time, the movement was started. I don’t' hear any allegedly Indian Involvement. Those rumors started after the movement. Gaplow43286 (talk) 08:51, 13 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I'm not from Bangladesh So I only know of The Daily Star, Business Standard, Prothom Alo and few others and as far as I know none of them have reported on R&AW involvement. So yeah I agree at the very least R&AW should be removed from infobox. DataCrusade1999 (talk) 07:34, 14 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Gaplow43286 The indian involvement section should also be looked at. DataCrusade1999 (talk) 07:35, 14 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

New article titled 'July uprising (Bangladesh)'?

[edit]

If you look in places like [1], July uprising seems like the predominant usage among Bangladeshi newspapers like the Daily Star, Prothom Alo, Dhaka Tribune, Business Standard, etc. This refers to both the quota reform movement and the non-cooperation movement under one banner. I think there needs to be a separate article on the entire revolution summarizing the Quota movement and non-cooperation movement pages. C1MM (talk) 17:19, 26 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@C1MM There is an ongoing discussion about it here on this talk page. The section is "Possible new article (2)". Join and write your comment there and it would be easier to create the new article. Also we need editors to create the draft for the proposed article, so if you want to join then that would be great. Mehedi Abedin 18:11, 26 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@C1MM DeloarAkram created it under Student–People's uprising, you can contribute there if you want. Mehedi Abedin 11:56, 13 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Separate article should be created or not

[edit]

I see there is already two discussions about a separate article covering two movement . But I also wants to make discussion. I hope everyone post comment here.

We need title of the separate article, then we can start creating a draft. Here is possible title :

  • July Revolution (Bangladesh)
  • Student—People's uprising
  • 2024 Bangladesh mass uprising
  • Other names
