I've started to standardize, shorten/expand the article to achieve Featured Article status. For this, sections on different areas need to be short, crisp, and in most cases, overviews for the detailed subject pages. Thanks. -- Ragib 23:14, 12 February 2006 (UTC)
I moved the pictures around a bit, as it seems common practice to pics on both left and rigth. --

Issues as I see them:
"Culture" section right now seems like the arts. That's not all there is to culture ... should include food, clothing, ceremonies etc, in adition some art forms like fine arts and dance are absent.
History portion is much better than it used to be (the horror!!), but needs crisper writing.
It seems we are copying India rather strictly, why? -- ppm 00:39, 23 February 2006 (UTC)

Kerala, I am a bit apprehensive. They have loads of references and really nice pics --

1. A view of motijheel, for economics. 2. A view of a rice field, with farmers. 3. A view of a major river, maybe Padma. 4. A cultural scene, perhaps a dance performance. 5. A "gaye holud" scene, again for culture. -- ppm 21:10, 10 March 2006 (UTC)
I think I'm done with references, we now have enough. Peer review anyone?-- ppm 04:14, 13 March 2006 (UTC)
Ok, I've started a new peer review for Bangladesh. Please express your comments there. Thanks. -- Ragib 05:25, 13 March 2006 (UTC)
Hmm, if we are to give up the times cover, what instead? maybe Image:Muktiyddher.jpg? There needs to be a liberation war related pic. If we are to remove education, I think the female stipend program should be incorporated somewhere, maybe demographics. I think it was the single most important event in recent Bangladesh barring large political ones. -- ppm 13:06, 13 March 2006 (UTC)
"most densely populated country larger than 700 km² in t"...hong kong seems to be larger than that.--

"Most of the Awami League leaders fled and set up a government-in-exile in Calcutta, declaring Bangladesh an independent state" -- the declaration of independence was made earlier, and from within Bangladesh (either by Mujib or Zia, but doesn't matter in this case). --

Dear user 192.246.225.205, you edits are not technically wrong at all, but we already have a size problem. IUT (not IIT anymore) and SUST was already covered under the blanket "newer university" statement (I by no means think they are not worthy of mention in general)--

There seems to be a proliferation of recent anonym editors who want to do good, but with suspect outcomes. Dear 15.235.153.106, would you explain why you changed the placing of "e-kar" in the Bangla spelling of Bangladesh? It was correct and would render as it should in a properly configured browser. You are probably using opera or something else without indic script support enabled. -- ppm 20:18, 26 March 2006 (UTC)
I believe most peer review issues have been handled. The only fuzzy area, imho, due to its subjectiveness, is the language in Culture and Subdivisions, which neverthless have changed in the mean time, hopefully for the better. Right now, I can't think of anything specific that remains to be done. -- ppm 02:01, 30 March 2006 (UTC)
Given the precarious copyright status of the Surrender picture, I propose we use Image:Shaheed minar Roehl.jpg instead. Thanks -- ppm 17:37, 5 April 2006 (UTC)
Looks like we are ready for a candidacy.-- ppm 00:25, 6 April 2006 (UTC)
A minor POV concern in the sports section. The article reads that the victory over Australia was one of the biggest upsets in cricket history. The sentence needs to be cited or nuetralized. Pepsidrinka 04:37, 6 April 2006 (UTC)
"Literacy rates are 54% among men and 32% among women." This needs a citation and also, I would suggest that you add something like (as per 2001 data) at end of the sentence. This things change a lot (hopefully for the better) and so it is appropriate to give the reader a sense of how old the data is and also serving as a reminder to update the figures few years down the road. -- Blacksun 08:01, 9 April 2006 (UTC)
About this whole "mowdowk range" being the highest point etc, is there a reference. CIA, which we were making use to prevent change in area, still says keokaradong.-- ppm 04:24, 10 April 2006 (UTC)
The picture used to show where Bangladesh is located in the world map isn't very accurate (or too 'zoomed out'). It doesn't clearly show the exact 'shape' of the borders of the country - comparing it with the actual map makes it obvious. Sheehan ( Talk) 06:25, 10 April 2006 (UTC)
But this is the world map ubiqutously used in wikipedia. If it's wrong then this must be a fundamental change. We must make sure the deformation is not due to some cartographic conventions before taking a decision.-- ppm 17:47, 10 April 2006 (UTC)
I think exactly one issue in peer review has not been handled, the immigration thing. IMO, we should have exactly 1 line in demographics mentioning human trafficking, illegal immigration issue with Myanmar and India (infact, the issue with Myanmar is more crucial from BD's pov). Something in the line of, "Human traficking has been a continual problem and Bangldesh has some illegal immigration related issues with Myanmar and India." (references).
Waiting for input.-- ppm 18:54, 11 April 2006 (UTC)
okay we seem to be in good shape--

It's great that you have started the FAC, finally. Have you thought about adding some images in the space beside the list of "Notes" , a la Kerala?-- Dwaipayanc 16:06, 12 April 2006 (UTC)
The word "ill-governed" in "Economy" is probably not appropriate. First, the word itself is quite South Asia-ish—is it in regular usage in British English? Second, the placement of the word is potentially debatable, especially from the government side of view, as it is not a referenced word! I think it would be better to replace it! What do you think?-- Dwaipayanc 17:16, 12 April 2006 (UTC)
done-- ppm 19:39, 12 April 2006 (UTC)
