When I open the page Jazmin I find the last parts missing, including the templates put there. But, when I open the page in "edit page" all of the missing part is still there, including the whole filmograpy. How do I get it right, and make the whole article appear in regular mode (i.e. reading or non-editing mode)? ( Aditya Kabir 20:30, 23 June 2006 (UTC))

Hi, Aditya. I can certainly sympathize with you, since I edited the Indian infobox because of how bulky and unadaptive it was compared to, say, {{ Australia state or territory}} (see South Australia) or {{ British Columbia municipality infobox}} (see Chetwynd, British Columbia) — in short, jealousy. I recommend that you perhaps model your infobox on {{ British Columbia municipality infobox}} by copying the code and modifying the fields to suit Bangladeshi entities; if you have any specific questions, I'd then be glad to step in and help out. Another far-fetched possibility I was thinking about was just to move {{ Infobox Indian Jurisdiction}} to, say, {{ Infobox Asian Jurisdiction}} and generalize it to accept parameters from articles about entities in both Bangladesh and India. But it's up to you. Let me know, though. Thanks. Saravask 20:42, 24 November 2006 (UTC)

I have created a table for Mazharul Islam, which looks exceedingly ugly. Can someone do something to it? I just hope it looks better. I can fix the copy later (I am still researching on the subject).
Real96 thinks it doesn't look ugly, and all I need to do is removing the <small> codes off it (see below). Not being offensive or anything, I'd still prefer to have it look better. By better looks I don't mean a lot of color and all that flashy stuff, but this particular style of table is suitable only for short texts on each cell. The longer text on the comment column may require fixing column width suitably. Can someone help? Aditya Kabir 09:09, 17 March 2007 (UTC)

Is it possible to retrieve the page at [ Dhaka Electricity Supply Authority? It was there on the net, but now I can't find it anymore. May be it's preserved as an archive somewhere, right? Aditya Kabir 12:38, 3 April 2007 (UTC)
There's a misunderstanding here, I guess (see immediately above). It is for Wikipedia. The Website I am looking for was hosted by Dhaka Electric Supply Authority (an extremely unfriendly and bureaucratic government agency, not a fit place to look for a lost website). But, it had useful content on history of electric supply in Dhaka, which was particularly useful for the Shahbag article I have put to peer review now (and getting ready for FAC as well). I know there is a way of sorting out dead links, but being technologically handicapped and all, I need help on that, very hands on help. Thanks. Aditya Kabir 13:59, 3 April 2007 (UTC)
In reply to your "irrelevant question", I don't really know. I have a talk page header that I have transcluded onto that page, but the coding for it appears to be working on my screen - I've never had any problems with it. What system and browser are you using? I've accessed Wikipedia from Internet Explorer and Firefox in Windows and from Safari and Firefox on Mac, and it works fine in all, from what I can tell. If there is something wrong, I'd like to fix it, so thanks for mentioning that. Hersfold ( talk/ work) 15:23, 3 April 2007 (UTC)

Hi, please feel free to use this information as you see fit. I am not the best when it comes to outlining Wikipedia so you may use my source information.
Jayne performed in a local production of DEATH OF A SALESMAN in Dallas, Texas while studying under Baruch Lumet, father of film director Sidney Lumet. The production was in October of 1953. Milton Lewis, a Paramount executive, came to see Jayne in this performance and was impressed with her performance and told Lumet to have her look him up when she came to Hollywood. Mansfield was a brunette at this time and was a student at Southern Methodist University.

Ah, yes I am very interested in military history and the article Bangladesh Liberation War and the sister articles on the '71 war and the atrocities are inter-spread. I believe User:Ragib can give useful insights and information coming from a Bengali angle. Another user who expressed interest in improving the '71 war was User:Mike Young from UK. I am trying to build up some information myself and once I have enough time I might attempt at fixing that article. I believe that one day an article of such importance can become Featured Article, if not a good article. In the meanwhile you can chip in - when u feel like it - to improve Aurangzeb and Tipu Sultan articles. I feel they should be removed of the biases and can serve as examples of good articles, despite controversies. Thanks for approaching me. -- Idleguy 10:36, 24 August 2007 (UTC)

Hi there. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. On many keyboards, the tilde is entered by holding the Shift key, and pressing the key with the tilde pictured. You may also click on the signature button located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your name and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when.

Sorry about how long it's taking. The main reason is that I'm basically running this thing on my own, with little or no help from the other members. The only reason I haven't nominated for MfD is that this page acts as a sort of filter for me, otherwise I'd be crushed under the sheer volume of the articles which are tagged everyday. I will take a look at that right now, and copyedit to the best of my ability. That's also a reason why I've had to decline most of the cases, unless I can actually see what I've can do with it. Additionally, I do experience periods of low activity if my limits are exceeded. Jame § ugrono 23:47, 31 December 2007 (UTC)

Dear Aditya: You asked about the etymology of Baitul Mukarram and I am glad contributing to your page that I greet with great respect. This name taught me about the National Mosque in Dhaka, which is a nice architectural feature. As an Arabic-speaking Architect, I have a construction career for over 34 years. I am 62 and I live in the USA but keep watching about Arabia and all what is related to the Arabic language. Please accept my contribution to your quest about the name of Baitul Mukarram although I know that Aziz is more eligible to answer that question. This man is a strong encyclopedia and he is eligible to write the new history of Arabia with new chapters and I can barely compete with him.
From the first hearing the name Baitul Mukarram sounds like the Houe of a certain "venerated" person, which means Mukarram. In Arabic the first listening to this name leads to the "honorable" man who is venerated like the Prophet Muhammad. In Islam, there is no problem in considering a mosque as the House of the Prophet. It could be meant by this as if it were the Mosque of Muhammad but if you think it over deep in Arabic, you may consider it a deformation to the term "Muharram" which means the forbidden, the Holy. In the Koran I remember a verse saying "Baytukal Muharram" meaning the Kaabah. Between the "Ha" and the "Kha" in modern and old Arabic, there is intersection. Both letters meet at the same use. Perhaps the name should be "Al-Baitul Mukarram" to be true.
Another meaning can also be thought of, which is the "Holy Bayt" or Al-Baytul-Haraam". Although there is no similarity between the Holy Mosque in Makkah and the central Mosque of Dhaka, the term baytul Mukarram could have been brought by devout Moslems to Bengladesh, thinking that "central" could mean "Holy". Lets not forget that the Holy City of Makkah is also called "Al-Mukarramah".
I also speak and master the English language for my business but also the French language deeply enough to argue about philology, etymology, history and religion. I truly consider the Arabic language as a non-national language belonging to all the nations who read al Kuran. Arabic does not belong to Arabs only and there are thoughts that it was the first language of God, the research continues.
Humbly I send you this message hoping that it satisfies your quest. Respectfully, Noureddine ( talk) 17:38, 19 January 2008 (UTC)

I have created a table for Mazharul Islam, which looks exceedingly ugly. Can someone do something to it? I just hope it looks better. I can fix the copy later (I am still researching on the subject).
Real96 thinks it doesn't look ugly, and all I need to do is removing the <small> codes off it (see below). Not being offensive or anything, I'd still prefer to have it look better. By better looks I don't mean a lot of color and all that flashy stuff, but this particular style of table is suitable only for short texts on each cell. The longer text on the comment column may require fixing column width suitably. Can someone help? Aditya Kabir 09:09, 17 March 2007 (UTC)

Is it possible to retrieve the page at [ Dhaka Electricity Supply Authority? It was there on the net, but now I can't find it anymore. May be it's preserved as an archive somewhere, right? Aditya Kabir 12:38, 3 April 2007 (UTC)
There's a misunderstanding here, I guess (see immediately above). It is for Wikipedia. The Website I am looking for was hosted by Dhaka Electric Supply Authority (an extremely unfriendly and bureaucratic government agency, not a fit place to look for a lost website). But, it had useful content on history of electric supply in Dhaka, which was particularly useful for the Shahbag article I have put to peer review now (and getting ready for FAC as well). I know there is a way of sorting out dead links, but being technologically handicapped and all, I need help on that, very hands on help. Thanks. Aditya Kabir 13:59, 3 April 2007 (UTC)
In reply to your "irrelevant question", I don't really know. I have a talk page header that I have transcluded onto that page, but the coding for it appears to be working on my screen - I've never had any problems with it. What system and browser are you using? I've accessed Wikipedia from Internet Explorer and Firefox in Windows and from Safari and Firefox on Mac, and it works fine in all, from what I can tell. If there is something wrong, I'd like to fix it, so thanks for mentioning that. Hersfold ( talk/ work) 15:23, 3 April 2007 (UTC)

Hi, please feel free to use this information as you see fit. I am not the best when it comes to outlining Wikipedia so you may use my source information.
Jayne performed in a local production of DEATH OF A SALESMAN in Dallas, Texas while studying under Baruch Lumet, father of film director Sidney Lumet. The production was in October of 1953. Milton Lewis, a Paramount executive, came to see Jayne in this performance and was impressed with her performance and told Lumet to have her look him up when she came to Hollywood. Mansfield was a brunette at this time and was a student at Southern Methodist University.

Ah, yes I am very interested in military history and the article Bangladesh Liberation War and the sister articles on the '71 war and the atrocities are inter-spread. I believe User:Ragib can give useful insights and information coming from a Bengali angle. Another user who expressed interest in improving the '71 war was User:Mike Young from UK. I am trying to build up some information myself and once I have enough time I might attempt at fixing that article. I believe that one day an article of such importance can become Featured Article, if not a good article. In the meanwhile you can chip in - when u feel like it - to improve Aurangzeb and Tipu Sultan articles. I feel they should be removed of the biases and can serve as examples of good articles, despite controversies. Thanks for approaching me. -- Idleguy 10:36, 24 August 2007 (UTC)

Hi there. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. On many keyboards, the tilde is entered by holding the Shift key, and pressing the key with the tilde pictured. You may also click on the signature button located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your name and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when. Thank you! -- SineBot ( talk) 21:46, 16 December 2007 (UTC)
Sorry about how long it's taking. The main reason is that I'm basically running this thing on my own, with little or no help from the other members. The only reason I haven't nominated for MfD is that this page acts as a sort of filter for me, otherwise I'd be crushed under the sheer volume of the articles which are tagged everyday. I will take a look at that right now, and copyedit to the best of my ability. That's also a reason why I've had to decline most of the cases, unless I can actually see what I've can do with it. Additionally, I do experience periods of low activity if my limits are exceeded. Jame § ugrono 23:47, 31 December 2007 (UTC)
Hello,the more accurate Arabic name is Al-Bait ul Mukarram (البيت المكرّم) with Al at the begging.

Dear Aditya: You asked about the etymology of Baitul Mukarram and I am glad contributing to your page that I greet with great respect. This name taught me about the National Mosque in Dhaka, which is a nice architectural feature. As an Arabic-speaking Architect, I have a construction career for over 34 years. I am 62 and I live in the USA but keep watching about Arabia and all what is related to the Arabic language. Please accept my contribution to your quest about the name of Baitul Mukarram although I know that Aziz is more eligible to answer that question. This man is a strong encyclopedia and he is eligible to write the new history of Arabia with new chapters and I can barely compete with him.
From the first hearing the name Baitul Mukarram sounds like the Houe of a certain "venerated" person, which means Mukarram. In Arabic the first listening to this name leads to the "honorable" man who is venerated like the Prophet Muhammad. In Islam, there is no problem in considering a mosque as the House of the Prophet. It could be meant by this as if it were the Mosque of Muhammad but if you think it over deep in Arabic, you may consider it a deformation to the term "Muharram" which means the forbidden, the Holy. In the Koran I remember a verse saying "Baytukal Muharram" meaning the Kaabah. Between the "Ha" and the "Kha" in modern and old Arabic, there is intersection. Both letters meet at the same use. Perhaps the name should be "Al-Baitul Mukarram" to be true.
Another meaning can also be thought of, which is the "Holy Bayt" or Al-Baytul-Haraam". Although there is no similarity between the Holy Mosque in Makkah and the central Mosque of Dhaka, the term baytul Mukarram could have been brought by devout Moslems to Bengladesh, thinking that "central" could mean "Holy". Lets not forget that the Holy City of Makkah is also called "Al-Mukarramah".
I also speak and master the English language for my business but also the French language deeply enough to argue about philology, etymology, history and religion. I truly consider the Arabic language as a non-national language belonging to all the nations who read al Kuran. Arabic does not belong to Arabs only and there are thoughts that it was the first language of God, the research continues.
Humbly I send you this message hoping that it satisfies your quest. Respectfully, Noureddine ( talk) 17:38, 19 January 2008 (UTC)
