Hello Ragib, welcome to Wikipedia.
You might find these links helpful: How to edit a page, How to write a great article, Naming conventions, Manual of Style. You should read our policies at some point too.
If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump, or ask me on my talk page. I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian!
Again, welcome! Chris Roy 04:36, 19 Apr 2004 (UTC)
Ragib bhai,
Some anon recently mass deleted topics out of Bangladesh-related articles. This is frustrating. Most of what he put was full of POV's. Over a month of hard work flushed down the drain! Do you know how to revert back to an older edit?
You seem to be working with Bengal/Bangladesh related articles. You might want to participate in the nomenclature of article voting. -- Urnonav 17:51, 6 Mar 2005 (UTC)
Ragib bhai,
My Bengali spelling is a "little" bad. If you get free time, could you please check recent edit to Artcell. If you don't feel like fixing them, put a note on my user page, I'll do it! Thanks! -- Urnonav 09:15, 10 Mar 2005 (UTC)
Isn't Jhing-ga the right spelling? It's the like the vegetable (starts with Jha) I thought. Or does it start with a 'Za'? -- Urnonav 18:56, 10 Mar 2005 (UTC)

hi.. first day on this thing.. hope to communicate more..
I'd like to know why you voted to delete, rather than improve, Saleel. Can you tell me why exactly you don't think the Saleel network, which numbers in the thousands of members deserves even a mention? or is it that you dislike the layout, in which case I'd ask what do you believe could be done to improve it ? -- Irishpunktom\ talk 11:26, Mar 24, 2005 (UTC)
Dear Ragib - I have just seen your new addition to the stub categories - Bangladesh-stub. If you plan to create any more stub templates and categories, please keep in mind that stub categories should only be created after a week-long debate at
Wikipedia: WikiProject Stub sorting. A prime requisite for their creation is a guaranteed minimum number of articles in the category - at least 60, and preferably over 100. In theory, your new stub should be put up for deletion, since it was not cleared by WP:WSS and is unlikely at present to reach 60 articles, but given the large number of potential articles on Bangladesh which may be stubs, I'm just going to list it on WP:WSS as a "discovered, non-cleared stub'.

hello?
05:53, 20 Apr 2005 (UTC)
There is a partially complete guideline posted at the WikiProject Bengal. This was agreed upon after a little bit of debate that you'd also find on the same page. If you disagree on something, you are welcome to contribute to the debate. In fact, we need some opinion on transliteration of স, ষ and শ. We contemplated use of s in conjunction with either sh, ş or ś, but we couldn't reach a decision. We are hoping to eventually put this up in a nice place and use a template to refer users to the scheme wherever we use it. For now though, at least two of us are actively using this. You are right about the Bangla Academy scheme though! HTH. -- Urnonav 16:13, 26 Apr 2005 (UTC)
The article does mention that the company is not a recognised one . Gathering facts about the campany is difficult since it never discloses its assests or officialy declare its very existance . Just because the company isn't legalised doesn't mean it doesnt exist . Siting in Bangladesh one cant figure out the events happening in Mumbai . user:Guptadeepak - HAPPY !!

Please feel free to consider the below proposal on its merits and demerits. Criticism and suggestions welcome.
I am wondering if it is possible to agree on a systemic categorization of all Bengal/Bangladesh related articles in a nice Directory page (say for example akin to the Google Directory system). This has several advantages:
- it will be comprehensive
- it can give us compilers a very useful idea of knowing exactly WHERE to classify and categorize new articles. Currently it is so very random, (although I realize this IS the Wikipedia style), but still looking at the complete arbitrariness of the Category system is a bit depressing.
- most importantly, there are very few people who are updating on Bengali topics, even after a number of appeals that I sent out online. What this says is that for the foreseeable future, the job of updating articles, even on important historical events and people, depends on us. At present, we are doing this of course, but in a somewhat random, haphazard way. If we could establish a structure to the Bangladesh pages, and set out priorities (for example, a batch of 100 history and politics articles first, then a batch of 100 cultural articles, etc etc), then our progress could be much more systematic and smooth. We could divide responsibility for articles among each other, and try for a minimum each per week (say 3 or 4 articles per week) with a minimum length as well (say one or two monitor pageview lengths)**. We could also correct each other's work as we go along.
Of course, all members of the Wikiproject are free to voice their opinion on this proposed approach. Please let me know what you think.
PS I am trying to make recent entries of mine a bit more substantial, instead of creating a forest of stubs, by stretching them to fill up at least the front page view.
Left a suggested category structure for the BD directory on the WikiProject page.. lemme know what you think.
Yes, most of the history section is full of POV. I also never managed to finish the article on the Bangladesh Liberation War. Start your endeavour; I'll try to continue providing some sort of support as and when I get free time. -- Urnonav
I didn't remove that info because I disputed it. I removed it because in five years, or two years, or one year, it may no longer be true. Information going into a Wiki article should have some kind of staying power - Wikipedia isn't a current affairs magazine. I hope that makes sense. Denni ☯ 02:47, 2005 Jun 11 (UTC)
US is NOT a secular state. It doesn't claim to be. It is a Christian state. SusanPowL0 01:14, 17 Jun 2005 (UTC)
Its God with G capital. Its pretty clear. SusanPowL0 03:06, 17 Jun 2005 (UTC)
Whats your point Ugen? Pakistan is secular? What are you trying to say? Ragib, US IS a christian state though we do not discriminate based on religion. When God is G capital, it usually refers to the God as believed by christians. SusanPowL0 03:24, 17 Jun 2005 (UTC)
Condescending. Thanks. We do not discriminate does not mean we are not a christian state. We surely are. I take that you agree with the interpretation of the word God in 'In God we trust' since you have taken back your argument about US being Judo christian moslem state and haven't followed up the argument. SusanPowL0 04:15, 17 Jun 2005 (UTC)
When Presidents and other federal officials take their oaths of office, they place their hand on a Bible and conclude their oaths with the words "so help me God." US IS a Christian country. Just that we respect and treat all religions equally unlike moslem countries. Christian countries CAN treat all religions equally. We don't HAVE to disciminate against other religions in order to be a christian country. SusanPowL0 04:44, 17 Jun 2005 (UTC)
Ok, let us see what the constitution say. Whatever you believe is not my problem, I looked up the
US Constitution which is supposed to be the Supreme law in the US. That definitely says that the government will NOT declare any relgion as state religion, also there is religious freedom. By the definition of the word, a secular country is exactly the same. Please stop your mistaken claims about the US being a christian country, just produce a section of the US Constitution that says so. In case of
Pakistan and
Bangladesh, the constitution of those countries clearly say that those countries are Islamic nations. As for Bible being used, that is because the Presidents have belonged to Christianity so far. Please refrain from your comments about "moslem countries" being "without respect for all religions" and christian countries are not as bad as them etc etc, I regret to see the bigotry behind that attitude. A large part of the population being christian makes the country's population being mostly christian, the country does not become christian by that fact. And finally, unless you cite a section of the US constitution which proclaims the US to be a christian country, please do not bother to waste time by tunnel-visioned comments on merits and demerits of religions. Please respect all religions equally. Thanks. --
Ragib 04:59, 17 Jun 2005 (UTC)
Ok, "In God We Trust". Do you comprehend what it means? It means as I argued above, US believes in God. Secular countries do not say so. These exactly are the signs of a christian state. In secular countries such as china and India, people do NOT place their hands on Bible or whatever. They do NOT HAVE to say they trust in God. Also please don't compare US with the countries above, what they do isn't the benchmark of being secular or not being secular. Muslim countries do say their religion in their constitution. We don't. Most christian countries don't since politics and church are divorced ages ago. Before calling me bigot, please introspect and see what you and your own people really are. It does not matter what you want to make US. In either case, in the 17th century, we certainly WERE a christian country. SusanPowL0 05:36, 17 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Christianity is never enforced. The act of making these practices not mandatory but a tradition is consistent with christianity. SusanPowL0 05:56, 17 Jun 2005 (UTC)

I am sorry, but haven't I already answered this? Whats wrong with you? Christianity is never enforced. The act of making these practices not mandatory but a tradition is consistent with christianity. The traditions followed in the US that I mentioned speak for themselves. SusanPowL0 06:15, 17 Jun 2005 (UTC)
My answer is clearly articulated. We don't stop being christian if we don't force others to follow our practices. "In God we trust" makes us a proud christian state. SusanPowL0 06:42, 17 Jun 2005 (UTC)
Ragib is right Susan, I'm aware that last June there was a US Supreme Court ruling on a high school case on God vs atheism that dealt with this issue. For the US to be a Christain state, it must be explicit, like the "Islamic Republic of Pakistan" is. God here is a supreme being not necessarily the God of Christians to merit saying the US is a Christian state. India's national song Vande Mataram has never gone down favouribly with Muslims; it doesn't mean that India is a Hindu state. And BTW, Christians in India have to swear by the Bible in court as do Muslims do with the Quran. =Nichalp «Talk»= 10:02, Jun 20, 2005 (UTC)

I noticed that your article comes verbatim from [2]. Did you get permission from the Asiatic Society of Bangladesh to license their work under the GFDL? I await your comment. Sincerely, Ashibaka ( tock) 05:09, 18 Jun 2005 (UTC)
Thanks for the proposal you have put there. I am really growing tired of the whole matter, and I would request you to see the whole discussion (previous two sections) in Talk:Pakistan. I think I have definitely said from the beginning that the issue here is not wheter Pakistan has or has not any link with Taliban or 9/11 terrorists, but whether these comments can be or "must be" included at the top paragraph, which User:SamTr014 continuously assert. From the very beginning, I am all for having the article conform to the guidelines placed in Wikipedia:Wikiproject countries. I also maintained that I have no affiliation or connection with Pakistan other than maintaining NPOV in the article, which you can check out from my previous edits on the article. I completely support the notion of removing unnecessary remarks, judgements or disputable facts from the first paragraph of country level articles. However, User:SamTr014 is adamant on the notion of adding those two sentences there. I just hope you understand my position in the debate, and I hope some other users, possibly admins would have the article on their watchlists and relieve me of being the scapegoat everytime I remove some possibly POV element from the article. Thanks a lot again for your initiative. -- Ragib 05:10, 19 Jun 2005 (UTC)

I'm requesting not to edit the Rohingya content.
Thanks,

plz don't change anything on current article . We , Burmese Rohingya have very much concern about this article.We, Free Rohingya Campaign going to write a objection letter to the webmaster since you're not Burmese Rohingya. Btw, Let me clear one thing , we are not bengali people ok!
Regards,

Please realize that OmerFa and King1 and numerous others are all sockpuppets of SamTr014. This is just an attempt to make himself look like he is getting support and different POVs which agree with him. Just thought I'd make you aware. -- Anonymous editor 01:52, Jun 20, 2005 (UTC)
Sounds dreadful. Good luck. Sadly I was just day-tripping in from Wikipedia:WikiProject Wiki Syntax and probably cannot be of much help on this one. best wishes -- Tagishsimon (talk)

Dear Ragib, I always love to contribute to wikipedia. And, I write drawing from different resources on the net. In case, you find that my edits require re-edits, please do that - that way, we shall contribute to making wikipedia more exact and informative. Have a nice time. Thanks for the compliments. And, I have something more to do on Buddhism in Bangladesh.-- Bhadani 18:23, 22 Jun 2005 (UTC)
I am very sure that OmerFa is a sockpuppet but I don't know who's exactly (perhaps Sam's). Regardless, he is indeed a non-Pakistani posing as one in order to support anti-Pakistan POV. Although he makes himself sound like an overstimulated patriot here is a recent edit (to the Kashmir article) where I caught him re-inserting disputed/unfactual/biased info that is anti-Pakistan [5]. Well anyways I think we should proceed with discussion on the talk page of the Pakistan article and see what the outcome is. Just thought I'd make you aware of this incase you need to reference it later, although I am sure that the discussion will get nowhere as Sam will be ready to use King1, SusanP_, and other sockpuppets later. -- Anonymous editor 23:09, Jun 22, 2005 (UTC)

I am sorry, but haven't I already answered this? Whats wrong with you? Christianity is never enforced. The act of making these practices not mandatory but a tradition is consistent with christianity. The traditions followed in the US that I mentioned speak for themselves. SusanPowL0 06:15, 17 Jun 2005 (UTC)
My answer is clearly articulated. We don't stop being christian if we don't force others to follow our practices. "In God we trust" makes us a proud christian state. SusanPowL0 06:42, 17 Jun 2005 (UTC)
Ragib is right Susan, I'm aware that last June there was a US Supreme Court ruling on a high school case on God vs atheism that dealt with this issue. For the US to be a Christain state, it must be explicit, like the "Islamic Republic of Pakistan" is. God here is a supreme being not necessarily the God of Christians to merit saying the US is a Christian state. India's national song Vande Mataram has never gone down favouribly with Muslims; it doesn't mean that India is a Hindu state. And BTW, Christians in India have to swear by the Bible in court as do Muslims do with the Quran. =Nichalp «Talk»= 10:02, Jun 20, 2005 (UTC)

Dear Rajib, I got your point. I will restrict my wikification to avoid confusion. Please feel free to comment on wikification. -- Bhadani 16:24, 17 Jun 2005 (UTC)
I noticed that your article comes verbatim from [2]. Did you get permission from the Asiatic Society of Bangladesh to license their work under the GFDL? I await your comment. Sincerely, Ashibaka ( tock) 05:09, 18 Jun 2005 (UTC)
Thanks for the proposal you have put there. I am really growing tired of the whole matter, and I would request you to see the whole discussion (previous two sections) in Talk:Pakistan. I think I have definitely said from the beginning that the issue here is not wheter Pakistan has or has not any link with Taliban or 9/11 terrorists, but whether these comments can be or "must be" included at the top paragraph, which User:SamTr014 continuously assert. From the very beginning, I am all for having the article conform to the guidelines placed in Wikipedia:Wikiproject countries. I also maintained that I have no affiliation or connection with Pakistan other than maintaining NPOV in the article, which you can check out from my previous edits on the article. I completely support the notion of removing unnecessary remarks, judgements or disputable facts from the first paragraph of country level articles. However, User:SamTr014 is adamant on the notion of adding those two sentences there. I just hope you understand my position in the debate, and I hope some other users, possibly admins would have the article on their watchlists and relieve me of being the scapegoat everytime I remove some possibly POV element from the article. Thanks a lot again for your initiative. -- Ragib 05:10, 19 Jun 2005 (UTC)
dear Rajib,
Salam,
I'm requesting not to edit the Rohingya content.
Thanks,
kunyia Free Rohingya Campaign
plz don't change anything on current article . We , Burmese Rohingya have very much concern about this article.We, Free Rohingya Campaign going to write a objection letter to the webmaster since you're not Burmese Rohingya. Btw, Let me clear one thing , we are not bengali people ok!
Regards,
kunyia
Please realize that OmerFa and King1 and numerous others are all sockpuppets of SamTr014. This is just an attempt to make himself look like he is getting support and different POVs which agree with him. Just thought I'd make you aware. -- Anonymous editor 01:52, Jun 20, 2005 (UTC)
Sounds dreadful. Good luck. Sadly I was just day-tripping in from Wikipedia:WikiProject Wiki Syntax and probably cannot be of much help on this one. best wishes -- Tagishsimon (talk)
Just thought I'd make you aware, Sam has been proven a bigot. See evidence here [4]. Notice word choice. Thanks. -- Anonymous editor 23:18, Jun 20, 2005 (UTC)
Hello. Well done on noticing the error on the image. It shows how naïve I am to Asian languages. I've corrected the image and re-added it to the page. Once again, thanks :-)

Dear Ragib, I always love to contribute to wikipedia. And, I write drawing from different resources on the net. In case, you find that my edits require re-edits, please do that - that way, we shall contribute to making wikipedia more exact and informative. Have a nice time. Thanks for the compliments. And, I have something more to do on Buddhism in Bangladesh.-- Bhadani 18:23, 22 Jun 2005 (UTC)
I am very sure that OmerFa is a sockpuppet but I don't know who's exactly (perhaps Sam's). Regardless, he is indeed a non-Pakistani posing as one in order to support anti-Pakistan POV. Although he makes himself sound like an overstimulated patriot here is a recent edit (to the Kashmir article) where I caught him re-inserting disputed/unfactual/biased info that is anti-Pakistan [5]. Well anyways I think we should proceed with discussion on the talk page of the Pakistan article and see what the outcome is. Just thought I'd make you aware of this incase you need to reference it later, although I am sure that the discussion will get nowhere as Sam will be ready to use King1, SusanP_, and other sockpuppets later. -- Anonymous editor 23:09, Jun 22, 2005 (UTC)

Would you be interested in discussions on this ( Talk:Military of Pakistan) particular page?-- PrinceA 00:09, 25 Jun 2005 (UTC)
The images seem a little messed up. Not sure how they work on Wikipedia. Also a lot of the code is html. I believe there are some fine tools out there for html2wiki. Would you happen to know about these?
-- Urnonav 06:57, 25 Jun 2005 (UTC)
You keep on reverting the link about Quran-only. Please don't. The link deserves to be there if the sentence deserves to be there because, that's what links are for. However, if you would like to argue that the sentence in invalid than do so. gren 02:07, 27 Jun 2005 (UTC)
I look forward to participating in this project. I've found it to be a useful reference source. Perhaps I can contribute to it's development in some small ways. Thanks again Skitz 28 June 2005 16:06 (UTC)
Thanks for welcoming me too. KeithD 28 June 2005 16:11 (UTC)
Ragib, I would simply like to thank you for welcoming me to Wikipedia via my talk page. At first, I assumed you were a bot, but a visit to your user page proved me wrong. Your welcome message is a great reference and I find myself using it very often since I registered to contribute to this project.
Yours sincerely,
Grumpy Troll 28 June 2005 21:16 (UTC)
Thank you too! I'm firmiliar with wikis and such, I am a member of the Video game cheats one, the HRWiki, the HR Fanstuff Wiki, Wikispecies and I used to be a member of the Spongebob Wiki and Simpedia. I just am used to doing templates so I would do that, once again; thanks! Homeschool Winner 28 June 2005 21:40 (UTC)
Hey there! Thanks for the warm wikipedia welcome! I hope I can be of some assistance to this project! ^_^ MrD 30 June 2005 23:22 (UTC)
Thanks Ragib for a friendly welcoming message also from me. And also thanks for inviting me to your discussion page, to be able to post this message at all. Yes, in my opinion, Wikipedia is definitely a great community of "spare-time contributors" to the general
Common good.

I won't repeat what others have said, but I appreciate your welcome and its contents just as much as they. Thankyou.-- Bluegreen 6 July 2005 01:18 (UTC)
Hi,
I'm sorry, but you're gonna have to ask someone else about Wikipedia's official policy on fair use. I'm just tagging all images uploaded by User:Awais141 for now because he has labeled almost all of his images that has uploaded as being in the public domain when he doesn't even state the source. Sorry for not being able to help you. -- Hottentot
I pretty sure its under PD or fairuse. I posted a reply to you here here. Falphin 30 June 2005 02:08 (UTC)
