hindi wiki

What material is a must for bangladesh on hindi wiki? I can create a large number of stubs in a short amount of time.^T*^E*^H Kingrom 02:50, 31 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

If you start Bangladesh Liberation War, that will keep you occupied for a while. Hindi-speakers, presumably being from Central India, will probably not be very happy with the NPOV version we have reached over such a long period of time! Other good articles to consider are Bangladesh, Bangladesh Language Movement, History of Bangladesh, Bangladesh Cricket Board, Cox's Bazar, History of Bengal, etc. =)

Updating the mother article

The Commonwealth Yearbook 2006 is available on the net, and it has a wealth of updated information on Bangladesh, the mother article for this project. Aditya^{(talk • contribs)} 16:21, 1 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Reunion of Bangladeshi Wikipedians

Time to organize a Reunion/meeting for the Bangladeshi Wikipedians by the valid authority. Think about it. Thank you. --Farsad (talk) 13:02, 3 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

There is no valid authority. We are all volunteers here. But, well, Bangladeshi Wikipedians do meet quite regularly in Dhaka. You can ask User:Tarif Ezaz or User:Bellayet for the time and venue of the next meet. Aditya^{(talk • contribs)} 14:31, 3 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Serious need of attention

Attention all active members
The List of Bangladesh-related topics is in serious need of attention. The tasks I can see right away are:

Inclusion (many, a great many number of articles are not included)
Categorization (the current sections and what follows is a bit haphazard, and will probably crumble when new articles are added)
Indexing (a nice little piece code-wizardry may be needed to make all the thousands of bluelinks)
List of lists (a proper place for the list of lists)
Cleanup (obviously the redlinks would be better positioned on the article request page)
Making it an integral part of the Bangladesh Portal and the Bangladesh WikiProject)

This list is the central index to Bangladesh related articles, and the most gateway to easy access of the articles. It demands a high priority. Aditya^{(talk • contribs)} 13:47, 4 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I would love to focus on this page if someone can help me understand what is the difference between this page and Category:Bangladesh. I feel that the categorization is a wikipedia wide standard of title listing and hence we should focus on that rather than on this list. Arman ^(Talk) 03:21, 5 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Stranded Pakistanis, Biharis or Bihari Muslims?

Yes all three exist, carrying different project-banners for WikiProject Ethnic groups, WikiProject Cold War, WikiProject Pakistan and WikiProject Bangladesh. I have proposed a merger of all three, but what would the title be? As soon we can decide on the title, I can volunteer to do the merging. I am posting to all of the WikiProjects for a solution, but it would be better to have a centralized discussion. Aditya^{(talk • contribs)} 13:19, 5 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Photos from Flickr: easy upload using the upload service

I found this uploader tool from Wikimedia toolserver: http://tools.wikimedia.de/~bryan/flickr/upload

It allows us to search for Creative commons licensed images from Flickr. By using keywords like "Bangladesh" "Dhaka" etc., I found a lot of photos from flickr which can be used at commons.

The tool also allows you to directly upload photos to commons without downloading them to your machine. Please try out the tool. Don't forget to add Category:Bangladesh or any other sharper cat to all the images. --Ragib (talk) 07:01, 23 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

A question for the Admins / Experienced users

I understand that all works by US Government are in the public domain. Does that include works of / sponsored by US embassies? More specifically US Embassy, Bnagladesh site has several reports on Bangladesh under - Key State Department Reports - section. Are these public domain materials? Can we freely copy paste text from these reports into wikipedia articles? Arman ^(Talk) 13:16, 26 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
