never too early or late

For your wonderful work on Satyajit Ray and Bangladesh-related articles, a **barnstar of national merit** is most appropriate. **This Fire Burns Always** 00:12, 23 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Ray copyedit

Well, finding out one is tough! Tony1 (talk · contribs) is perhaps the best in the business. But it's difficult to rope in him. Nichalp (talk · contribs) also remains busy. How about SandyGeorgia (talk · contribs) or Sundar (talk · contribs)? Or do you have in mind somebody outside regular wikipedian? Regards.--Dwaipayan (talk) 06:29, 26 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Was the oscar in 1991 or 1992? There is discrepency between the lead and "Commemoration and legacy". Please verify.--Dwaipayan (talk) 06:52, 26 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I belive the award was for 1991, but given in 1992. As far as copyediting goes, I'll depend on your discretion.--ppm 18:17, 26 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

How about adding his nickname Manik somewhere? I have requested Sandy and Tony. Sandy peobably will have a look, as he has told. I do not think any busy non-Indian wikipedian will be interested to do a copyedit before it is in FAC. Requesting Sundar and Saravask as well.--Dwaipayan (talk) 19:55, 26 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Manik added in "Critical and popular response". Lets see what happens with copyedit. If no one is too interested, we can just wait for FAC--ppm 20:00, 26 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Permit me to do a copyedit - hopefully I can address the condensation issue. Rama's arrow - this Fire burns always 02:26, 27 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hi - when do you plan to go for FAC? The article seems ready. Rama's arrow 21:17, 31 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hello ppm, Welcome Back. I have replied in my talk page. - Auyon 11:00, 31 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Bengali novels

Would you pls have a look at it? Thanks. Auyon 20:09, 2 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. I shall try my best. perhaps you could help? - Auyon 05:27, 3 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Congrats

Hi! Congrats. It was your excellent painstaking effort that led to the FA-ship of Satyajit Ray. Do you have any further plans for articles? How about trying film articles, for example, Pather Panchali itself? You have loads of source. And there is no time limit! Will be happy to help in any sorts possible. Regards.--Dwaipayan (talk) 12:19, 13 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

not right now. I might foray into Bangladesh related articles a bit before coming back to this topic. But sure, at some point.!--ppm 15:30, 13 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah. Rajshahi University - I see. Is there any article relating to the immigrant Bangladeshi population? If not, you should start one. Recently, I went to Greece and was rather astonished to see the huge Bangladeshi immigrant population in Athens.--Dwaipayan (talk) 18:31, 13 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I don't know if there is such an article, we have so few Bangladeshi editors, and fewer active ones :(--ppm 02:47, 14 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Ritwik Ghatak

Recently nominated Ritwik Ghatak for INCOTW. Lets see if the article gets some improvement. What are you doing nowadays?--Dwaipayan (talk) 12:29, 8 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I actually will be away for a week, but will try to chip in later--ppm 16:38, 8 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Ziaur Rahman

Hi Shmitra - I've put up Ziaur Rahman for FAC. Please check it out. Rama's arrow 13:31, 19 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Kazi Nazrul Islam

Hi - I request you to please check out Kazi Nazrul Islam (FAC). Thanks, Rama's arrow 00:42, 23 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Nazrul and Dhaka FAC

Hi Shmitra - I request you to please check out Kazi Nazrul Islam (FAC) and Dhaka (FAC) . I need your input and criticism. Rama's arrow 15:29, 28 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I've added a lot of new references. I think I've plugged most holes. Can you please give a fresh assessment? Rama's arrow 22:27, 2 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Forgive me for pushing you on this, but could you please give a fresh assessment for Dhaka soon? I'd like to address any/all problems as per your input. As time goes by, the danger of Raul archiving the nom increases. Rama's arrow 09:54, 4 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I don't know why but nobody else is taking an interest. Anywayz, I didn't mean to push you but I do hope that we can resolve your objection. Rama's arrow 16:50, 4 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I've addressed your points - will look for possible similar issues. Rama's arrow 22:06, 5 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Shmitra - I'm having difficulty understanding your fresh point. Can you please provide examples? Rama's arrow 01:45, 8 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

It was just the statement "1952 language movement led to widesread violence after 21 february." apart from not being quite true, it was not really in the reference. anyway, i have changed that.--ppm 04:19, 8 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Btw, I've reorganised many paragraphs as per Spangineer's review. Please have a look, Rama's arrow 02:27, 8 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you Shmitra - it is in no short measure due to the help you gave. Thanks, Rama's arrow 21:54, 8 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

My dear sir u are underrating yourself and Ragib. Both of you were critical to the FAC successes. Nevertheless, I truly appreciate your precious gift. Thanks! Rama's arrow 22:00, 9 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Bengali language

Hi! I am sorry I am extremely busy for about next 10 days, at least. I even could not have a look at the article. But I promise I shall, soon. Please go on improving the article...I will be regular in wikipedia in about 10 days. I'm very sorry for the delay. Have u seen Ritwik Ghatak lately? It was India collaboration of the week.--Dwaipayan (talk) 16:22, 11 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

1956 Hungarian Revolution

Hi ppm, we've done a lot of work to clean up the Hungarian Revolution of 1956 article, remove POV, better sources etc. Would you ming taking a look at it again and see if maybe it merits a support vote (or, at least, a neutral) on FAC? Thanks. K. Lastochka 15:14, 15 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you very much for your review and constructive comments which have improved this article. Istvan 18:28, 15 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Rajshahi University Alumni

I shall go to Rajshahi this Eid. I shall try to collect as many as I can. Hoping to give you some good news soon. --Auyon 12:52, 21 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Diwali greetings

Hi! A belated happy Diwali and Kali puja!--Dwaipayan (talk) 19:33, 22 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Satyajit Ray

Which version do you prefer? Biruitorul 17:48, 24 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

And I have to agree with you, since I'd reverted back to it... Thank you. Biruitorul 00:07, 25 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

OK, I'll talk to him first. Biruitorul 00:12, 25 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Charchari

Hello, can you check charchari to make sure it is accurate, and add the Bengali spelling? Many thanks for your expertise. Badagnani 03:03, 26 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, I'd just assumed it was similar to "filmi." Are there any great Bengali dictionaries that give etymologies? Badagnani 03:14, 26 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

not that I know of, sorry--ppm 03:15, 26 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

FYI

Hi! West Bengal is in FAC. Express your views in the nomination page. Regards.--Dwaipayan (talk) 09:01, 27 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the message. I used the fact directly from Bangladesh, as you might have guessed. There may have been some sort of mistake. In fact, web sources are claiming a figure of 10 millions. I will check out, and if needed, leave out the figure. Regards.--Dwaipayan (talk) 19:04, 27 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Check out Bangladesh. The same figure, and same citation. What do u think?--Dwaipayan (talk) 19:06, 27 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hmm! it's good that the error came out, at least a potential error. If you still have the source, just check it out and modify. I am changing the WB for the time being so that no specific figure is mentioned. Regards.--Dwaipayan (talk) 19:08, 27 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Bengali language

What are the plans with the article? FAC? I was going through the article today. Felt that a daughter article on History of Bengali language is needed. Have not read the whole article though. Created a few wikilinks (including some in red). Can hardly understand the "Sounds" sections!!--Dwaipayan (talk) 20:10, 27 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Re Constituent Assembly

The version online seems to be accurate but I don't know if it is an abridged version. Thanks for posting at my talk page. Take care and keep up the great work. --Antorjal 01:54, 31 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, thanks for your message. I was on a wikibreak and returned today itself. I have replied on the Jana Gana Mana talk page. However I do not see much point in digging this. These days I am more active on some other language wikipedia so there might be some delay from my side in replying. Thanks. --Apandey 16:10, 31 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
