This article is written in
Bangladeshi English, which has its own spelling conventions (colour, travelled, centre, analyse, defence) and some terms that are used in it may be different or absent from other
varieties of English. According to the
relevant style guide, this should not be changed without
broad consensus.
The following is an archived discussion of the DYK nomination of the article below. Please do not modify this page. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as
this nomination's talk page,

... that according to Sohagpur massacre survivor Jalal Uddin, there was no other man alive except himself in the village after the massacre? Source:
Dhaka Post
Reviewed: This is my fourth DYK nomination, so I don't need to do review.
Comment: I quoted a persons' statement in the article. Please don't mark that as copyright infringement.
Article length, hook length, neutrality etc. looks good. As an English speaker, I don't have a good sense of whether
Rising BD is a reliable source. I didn't see any mentions at
WP:RSN, so I'm going to presume it is reliable enough.
WikiProject assessments for quality and importance
I have rated this article as of Start class and Low importance because the article does not explain the roles played by some of the people who are named in the article. Merely naming a person is not enough, if the article names a person, it also needs to explain who the person is and what role they have played in the context of the article. The article also needs to be more specific about the enmity between villagers and the named people, and how it is relevant to the events that followed. I have also removed the banner for
WikiProject Law Enforcement because I cannot see how this article falls into the scope of that project, as no mention is made of law enforcement being involved in these events, only military personnel. While law enforcement authorities may have investigated these events, they do not appear to be involved in committing the crimes being investigated. -
