Alpin

Thanks for the help man. Hope we could have a DYK. When you are finished, please go for a suggestsion. Regards--Tarif from Bangladesh 12:54, 25 September 2007 (UTC)

No problems - will do. → AA ^(talk) — 13:24, 25 September 2007 (UTC)

Hi, how about the fair use photo. Isn't good enough?--Tarif from Bangladesh 12:58, 25 September 2007 (UTC)

The image looks OK. However, you have to update the image summary to specify the source and add a fair use rationale. Have a look at some other magazine images to see what it should say. → AA ^(talk) — 13:24, 25 September 2007 (UTC)

I don't have any experience on it whatsoever. Can try though. Did you mention about the "Alpin" photo or the both? --Tarif from Bangladesh 13:38, 25 September 2007 (UTC)

I'm taking about the Alpin photo as used on the article. Is there another one? BTW, I've added the fair use rationale on the Alpin photo. → AA ^(talk) — 13:42, 25 September 2007 (UTC)

What about the rename suggestion? → AA ^(talk) — 13:46, 25 September 2007 (UTC)

Sorry, I had a nap. When I woke up electricity was gone (for an hour, always:) Wow! Your first contribution! I didn't know. Very happy to hear that. About the name, I don't know. May be you could ask someone else. If it isn't changed, don't worry. I'll try to add more info about them later, so that it looks like it's for Alpin (not for Mohammad cat). By the way, thanks for rationale. I took that photo myself, may be I could get some more as well. Regards --Tarif from Bangladesh 17:33, 25 September 2007 (UTC)

I've experienced the power outages - so know how inconveniencing it is!! I'll leave the name as is since there's potential for the article to expand further - although my involvement will probably be nil for that :) → AA ^(talk) — 22:09, 25 September 2007 (UTC)

You beauty!! How did you get that blog reference. Awesome. Cheers!!!--Tarif from Bangladesh 18:00, 25 September 2007 (UTC)

Yeah - it was quite a find. It was a plagiarised cartoon in the first place. If he'd left the cat out, it would not have been a problem. → AA ^(talk) — 22:09, 25 September 2007 (UTC)

You're right. But I've talked with some pious people. They didn't seem to have any trouble with it. Hizbut Tahrir finds an issue every week for protesting in front of Baitul Mukarram. I think Alpin and Shaptahik 2000 was some people's "Golar Kanta". Regards --Tarif from Bangladesh 05:34, 26 September 2007 (UTC)

See the Sunni Islam template talk page. Thanks. :) --Enzuru 00:51, 26 September 2007 (UTC)

DYK

On 26 September, 2007, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Alpin (supplement), which you created or substantially expanded. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page.

--Carabinieri 13:49, 26 September 2007 (UTC)

Hi could you expand Prothom Alo thanks ♦ Sir Blofeld ♦ ^"Talk"? 15:39, 26 September 2007 (UTC)

I'll see what I can do. → AA ^(talk) — 15:43, 26 September 2007 (UTC)

ok boss! I'll add a picture tomorrow. Was thinking about expanding Prothom Alo for a while. Glad that you want to help as well. Tell me what to do. Regards --Tarif from Bangladesh 18:22, 26 September 2007 (UTC)

Prothom Alo

I was about to tell you, thanks. I am launching Chutir Dine very soon as well. After that I'll be out for a while. Then, will back withing a couple of hours. Regards--Tarif from Bangladesh 10:27, 27 September 2007 (UTC)

hmmm...not my area of expertise, admittedly, but are supplements notable? I think in an AfD, it would be argued that they should be incorporated into the main newspaper article. I would advocate doing that to start with and then move it its own article once there is sufficient context. That way the Prothom Alo article will contain substantial content rather than both being stubs. → AA ^(talk) — 10:37, 27 September 2007 (UTC)

I think, at least Alpin and Chutir Dine is notable enough to have their own articles. I understand your point, I would support to keep them both though. I think a separate article for Chutir Dine would have contents that original Prothom Alo wouldn't. Anyway, I completely support you are saying.. Don't know much about newspapers article either. Don't worry, we can improve on that. What do you think we should do next?--Tarif from Bangladesh 12:44, 27 September 2007 (UTC)

By the way, as far as I know Prothom Alo generated from Bhorer Kagoj, Matiur Rahman probably was the editor of it. Famous column writers like Muhammad Zafar Iqbal who used to write for Bhorer Kagoj turned to PA after that, and a lot of s news reporters joined Matiur to write for Prothom Alo. Know a good deal about it, but we need references. What about regular features, should I start writing them, using their own sources? Just as I did for Alpin? Sorry for asking too many questions, not a good reader of guidelines ;(--Tarif from Bangladesh 12:56, 27 September 2007 (UTC)

Yeah - go ahead and flesh out the article. It may be worth looking at some of the existing newspaper articles (Financial Times, The Times, The Independent) and structure it in a similar fashion. You can use Prothom Alo as it's a primary source. However, if you do find any secondary sources, it would be better to use those. Also, feel free to ask any questions - I am glad to be able to help!! → AA ^(talk) — 15:00, 27 September 2007 (UTC)

Thanks. Come to my talk page to have a look on Aditya bhai's exclusive experiences. By the way, we can merge Chutir Dine to Prothom Alo, but I think Alpin should have an article of it's own. It's already notable enough. --Tarif from Bangladesh 16:01, 27 September 2007 (UTC)

Go ahead and do the biz! Nice bit of inside info from Aditya but as he says, we still need to source it. → AA ^(talk) — 16:20, 27 September 2007 (UTC)

Welcome templates

Please list the template name and default edit summary you wish to be included in the menu:

There's already a whole page dedicated to welcome templates (see here) with hints of what could be in the edit summary (i.e. bold welcome, basic welcome, graphical welcome and of course those specialized welcome notes for users without a clue of neutrality, notability or spamming guidelines). And, of course, there's category for the templates as well (see here). Aditya^{(talk • contribs)} 06:21, 28 September 2007 (UTC)

This is in reference to: a TWINKLE enhancement. → AA ^(talk) — 11:58, 28 September 2007 (UTC)

Oh, sorry. Well, just trying to help. Anyways, if you have time someday, I'd like you to teach me to use twinkle. In fact, it is a lot of bother that there is no proper usage manual for the tool. A lot of people on the talk page of the tool complained about that. But, no one seems have ever attempted to start one. Aditya^{(talk • contribs)} 14:37, 1 October 2007 (UTC)

It should work provided you're not using IE as your browser. Just add the following line into your monobook.js:

importScript('User:AzaToth/twinkle.js');

and hit reload. You should see a number of extra tabs at the top of the page. Let me know if you have any problems. → AA ^(talk) — 15:04, 1 October 2007 (UTC)

That part I have a while back, as soon as you suggested that I should take a look at the possibility. But, everyday I look at the tabs that were created and wonder how do I make this useful. Perfectly clueless. Aditya^{(talk • contribs)} 15:12, 1 October 2007 (UTC)

Yes, there is so. There are [restore this version] on the left hand side, and [rollback (AGF)], [rollback] and [rollback (VANDAL)] on the right hand side. What are their exact functions (well, I can understand the left hand side button, I guess)? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Aditya Kabir (talk • contribs) 15:41, 1 October 2007 (UTC)

Hey it works! Now, what does [rollback] mean (AGF is good faith and Vandal... I can udnerstand that much)? And, is there any automated process for vandal warning attached to twinkle? Aditya^{(talk • contribs)} 15:58, 1 October 2007 (UTC)

Thanks! My debts to you increases everyday. Waiting for the day to pay some back. I can imagine one right away - you can ask me for any specific book, newspaper or publicly available document from a specific source in Bangladesh. I'm lazy enough not to get'em for myself, but to get even I just might take the initiative. Aditya^{(talk • contribs)} 16:42, 1 October 2007 (UTC)

Not at all bhai. I'm just glad to be able to help. However, your offer sounds too good to be true! I will certainly bear it in mind. → AA ^(talk) — 22:45, 1 October 2007 (UTC)

Sunnism template

Check the talk page again, thanks! --Enzuru 06:19, 1 October 2007 (UTC)

Need your help bro!

Hi, AA: I was trying to implement the image categorization scheme that I proposed in WP:BND talk page. I tried to manipulate Template:WP Bangladesh. Somehow I left a redundant "{" at the bottom of the template (see any Bangladesh article talkpage). Could you please help me check where the erroneous code is hiding? I'll also keep on searching. Arman ^(Talk) 11:10, 1 October 2007 (UTC)

Will take a look. → AA ^(talk) — 11:13, 1 October 2007 (UTC)

I think I've isolated the problem. (See User:AA/Sandbox). Tables are always tricky inside parser functions. You should be able to work out the problem. I think it may be better (for long term maintainability) to move this bit of "code" into it's own template that gets transcluded into the main WP template as it is very complex. → AA ^(talk) — 11:40, 1 October 2007 (UTC)

Thanks a lot. I've fixed the problem for the time.. but the msgbox is not showing. I'll work more on this the next few days. Arman ^(Talk) 13:58, 1 October 2007 (UTC)

		The Random Acts of Kindness Barnstar
		Thanks to your suggestion, I have now fixed the problem. I am not getting all the details in the messagebox, but perhaps that was unnecessary details. I'm happy to go with what I've got now. By the way, congratulations for FA on Biman. Arman (Talk) 03:27, 2 October 2007 (UTC)

RFA

Why bite the bullet? The surgeon general says - it can ruin your teeth. I just have done to job. Wishing you all the success. Aditya^{(talk • contribs)} 14:47, 2 October 2007 (UTC)

Fatima

Salam alaykum. Masha Allah you've taken numerous bransters.

By the way. I want to review Fatima. I should remined you all of the article which I had reviewed had failed. I hope this article pass. I paid close attention to the details and found that minor edition should be done. I put hold tag on the article and explain the points on the talk page. Then I ask other editors to help with it. By the way I eager to see a good article about my mother. Jazak Allah Khayr.--Sa.vakilian(t-c) 09:28, 4 October 2007 (UTC)

wa-alaikum as-salaam, I appreciate you reviewing this. I look forward to the review comments. → AA ^(talk) — 09:40, 4 October 2007 (UTC)

List of cities and towns in Bangladesh

Can you create table for the page with space for Name, Population, Area, Established and anything else you think should be there? Since this is not a dynamic list, we can strive to make this the first featured list on Bangladesh. If you create an empty table, I can definitely fill in the empty spaces with the latest census data. Thank you. Aditya^{(talk • contribs)} 11:34, 5 October 2007 (UTC)
