বাংলা উইকিপিডিয়া
Dr. Sroy, আপনার ব্যবহারকারী পাতায় দেখেছি আপনার মাতৃভাষা বাংলা। আপনাকে আমি বাংলা উইকিপিডিয়ায় কাজ করার অনুরোধ জানাচ্ছি। বাংলা হল আমাদের মাতৃভাষা, আমরা যদি এতে কাজ না করি তবে এর উন্নয়ন হবে না। আপনি বাংলাভাষী হয়েও ইংরেজি উইকিতে কাজ করছেন, কিন্তু কোন ইংরেজিভাষী বাংলা উইকিতে কাজ করতে যাবে না। তাই বাংলা উইকির উন্নয়ন আমাদের করতে হবে। অতি দুঃখএর বিষয় হল কি, প্রায় ২৮ কোটি বাঙ্গালির মধ্যে মাত্র ২০-৩০ জন বাংলা উইকির সাথে সক্রিয় :( যেখানে ইংরেজি উইকিতে লক্ষ লক্ষ লোক কাজ করে; এমনকি জনসংখ্যার দিক দিয়ে বাঙ্গালির থেকে কম হলেও ফরাসি, স্পেনীয়, জার্মান, ইতালীয় উইকি বাংলা উইকি থেকে হাজার গুনে অগ্রসর। আশা করছি, আপনি অনুরোধটি রাখবেন ও বাংলা উইকিতে নিয়মিত কাজ করবেন। আপনি নিবন্ধ অনুবাদ করে, সম্প্রসারণ করে কাজ করতে পারেন (আপনার কম্পিউটারে বাংলা কীবোর্ড না থাকলেও আপনি বাংলা উইকিতে কাজ করতে পারেন, bn:সাহায্য:বাংলা টাইপ করা দেখুন)। আপনার আশায় থাকলাম। --আফতাবুজ্জামান (talk) 15:42, 13 July 2018 (UTC)
- @আফতাবুজ্জামান: নিশ্চয়ই! অতি ধন্যবাদ!ARKA (talk) 09:10, 14 July 2018 (UTC)
- আপনিও আশা দিয়ে হারিয়ে গেলেন :( । সম্পাদকের অভাবে আপনার আমার মাতৃভাষা প্রচুর পিছনে পড়ে আছে। বাংলা উইকিতে নিবন্ধ লেখা/অনুবাদ করার জন্য সম্পাদকের বড় প্রয়োজন। --আফতাবুজ্জামান (talk) 17:23, 26 August 2018 (UTC)
- @আফতাবুজ্জামান: আমি অত্যন্ত দুঃখিত। আমি আপনার কাছে ক্ষমা প্রার্থী। বাংলা আমার মাতৃভাষা হলেও লিখিত ভাষায় খুব একটা sachchhanda noi. (I don't know editing is going weird. Bengali transliteration is not accepting and the script as well! What ever I write either omits ,or is not deleting or showing wildness!) "শ্র্্র্" "নাা" "ছীীীী" এসব কি হচ্ছে " ঃ"(হচ্ছে) ? Dr. Sroy(aka.ARKA) (talk) 18:19, 26 August 2018 (UTC)
- আপনি কোন কীবোর্ড/সফটওয়্যার দিয়ে বাংলা লিখেন? --আফতাবুজ্জামান (talk) 18:23, 26 August 2018 (UTC)
- @আফতাবুজ্জামান: Presently writing in Gboard software on Android. Although its not the software or device. I write well without any problem in Bengali in WhatsApp. It so happens here on Wikipedia. Might be some technical issues which I notified at the Village pump but it remained unidentified issue by the volunteers there... Worried,Dr. Sroy(aka.ARKA) (talk) 18:32, 26 August 2018 (UTC)
