NPOV removed, there are only factual statements there. two references added (they were already there, but removed by a bot) -- naught101 ( talk) 02:06, 6 February 2008 (UTC)
Article now reads like a total advert, extolling the virtues of the force ad infinitum. ninety: one 19:35, 17 November 2008 (UTC)
This section is clearly written from a patriotic Bangaladeshi perspective ("the independence and sovereignty of our nation", etc). However, I don't think that I know enough about the subject to do a good rewrite. Also some of it is included in the previous section (History) and perhaps the actual facts in it should simply be placed there. — Toby Bartels ( talk) 22:42, 26 February 2009 (UTC)
This is how it read:
Some anons have shortened it, without changing the tone and removing (possibly true) facts that aren't otherwise in the article. So I'll preserve it all here, since there is probably material worth salvaging, but which would just have to be checked by somebody who knows what they're doing with it (so not me, sorry). — Toby Bartels ( talk) 03:42, 28 February 2009 (UTC)
I suggest everything related to the "gallantry awards" is simply removed (including but not limited to the entire decorations section). CapnZapp ( talk) 22:17, 28 February 2009 (UTC)
Do you think we have enough warning templates at the top of this article? I think we could use one more. -- Tocino 01:44, 4 March 2009 (UTC)
Name for BDR is still BDR, and not BGB. The name change from BDR (Bangladesh Rifles) to BGB (Border Guards Bangladesh) is yet to be approved. Somebody unknowingly changed ALL the "BDR" to "BGB" and "Bangladesh Rifles" to "Border Guards Bangladesh" in the article. Please re-edit it back. I'm not really sure how to do it without doing it manually. Thanks, and cheers. Ratibgreat ( talk) 09:34, 25 February 2010 (UTC)
I would like to edit the following, not to change the information or tone, just the readability leaving content considerations to knowledgeable researchers.

During the war of independence members of the EPR were the first to respond against Pakistan Army. Adjutant Captain Mr. Rafiqul Islam was a smart guy in Chittagong sector.

Not being knowledgeable of the English of the subcontinent, I have left style and usage unfamiliar to me as-is, rather than replace it with what may merely be personal preference or American dialectal choice. Comments? -- Yellow-lab ( talk) 23:08, 25 February 2013 (UTC)
The page says: According to Captain Rafiq , "This ambush by the E.P.R. troops at Kumira was the first direct action against the enemy in the history of our liberation war." with citation: (Major Rafiq: A Tale of Millions, Page 56 and Aberar Shongram Shadhinotar Shongram, P:135, by: Lieutenant Colonel Abu Osman Chowdhury) verification needed. A Tale of Millions, Page 56, available here doesn't say that. Sminthopsis84 ( talk) 19:09, 7 June 2014 (UTC)
