Bias and poor quality

Where are the WikiProject Bangladesh editors? This article has degraded to a very poor quality. My attempts to update and improve the article are being reversed by one editor who keeps content about Ramayana, Mahabharata and Hindu nationalist issues. Is this article being administered by pro-Hindutva Wikipedians?--JamesWittenhall40 (talk) 01:55, 19 January 2022 (UTC)

•  Comment: @Dilbaggg:, Can you please explain this revertion? I was following JamesWittenhall40's edits and found nothing that we cannot keep good faith on them. Your reversion also goes against WP:STATUSQUO. This is insane that anyone just reverted all the intermediate edits, updates and bug fixes only to restore an image(!). (For this case, see, WP:REVONLY) However, JamesWittenhall40, Civility is part of Wikipedia's code of conduct and one of its five pillars and one should avoid personal attacks. — Meghmollar2017 (UTC) — 14:38, 19 January 2022 (UTC)

The Bangladesh Environment Conservation Act was enacted in 1995. The government has designated several regions as Ecologically Critical Areas, including wetlands, forests, and rivers. The Sundarbans tiger project and the Bangladesh Bear Project are among the key initiatives to strengthen conservation. And now, The Court of Sessions in Bangladesh has jurisdiction over cases involving the unlawful killing of tigers and elephants. 27.147.202.163 (talk) 22:51, 5 September 2022 (UTC)

History trim

The history section, and the lead, are so immensely large, that both have become unreadable. Needs a massive trim. I am not an expert on the history of the region so I cannot do so. Someone with knowledge over the matter needs to trim the excess and transfer it to the History of Bangladesh article. I have tried formatting some of the other sections across the article.

Removing informations without adequate reasoning

Solomon The Magnifico today had removed some of the information that gives a basic idea about economic situation and military power in the region. The information were removed without stating the actual reason rather than just stating it's too long for him to read. I would like to take the board and community make their standpoints before removing these informations. Imamul Ifaz (talk) 09:54, 26 May 2023 (UTC)

Your edits are excessively prolonging the introduction of this article. You are trying to portray Bangladesh as some kind of a global superpower with a special paramilitary. As I mentioned to you in my talk page, you insist on mentioning the paramilitary in the lede. The paramilitary forces serve as auxiliary police and military reserve forces. Hence, their importance is not so high. Other countries like India, Pakistan, China, Thailand, Mexico and the United States also have very large paramilitary forces, but there is nothing special about it. Solomon The Magnifico (talk) 12:42, 26 May 2023 (UTC)

I mentioned paramilitary police more to highlight Bangladesh's global achievement rather than their importance. If I thought Bangladesh was a superpower I wouldn't use the specific term "middle-power" in my edit. And If you think I have to edit on your tradition like this page has this that page has that then you are wrong. I am and independent editor. I have rights to edit pages from trustable sources. Imamul Ifaz (talk) 19:18, 26 May 2023 (UTC)

As per WP:LEAD, the lead should summarize the article. There is only one reference to 'paramilitary' in the entire article, which refers to the militias of 1971. You are trying to insert something which the article does not even talk about. Solomon The Magnifico (talk) 22:24, 26 May 2023 (UTC)

Again, you are bragging the same argument of paramilitary not having any importance in the country's defence line. Although I have said before that it has nothing do with importance rather than having a achivement. Bangladesh is relatively a small country with barely any achivement in the world platform. This achivement is one of the few of them shows Bangladesh's ability to portray themselves. As per WP:LEAD, the lead should establish context, explain why the topic is notable. So it's important Imamul Ifaz (talk) 08:03, 27 May 2023 (UTC)

No, I'm quoting to you the very first sentence of WP:LEAD, which is that "In Wikipedia, the lead section is an introduction to an article and a summary of its most important contents." The article has a single reference to the term 'paramilitary'; in comparison, the military has an entire sub-section devoted to it. Notability is not the issue here. When people think of Bangladesh, they don't think about its paramilitary. First, you have to explain what you mean by paramilitary, then we have to see if the content is relevant for Wikipedia and then we can try to understand what you are trying to say. My hunch is that you are referring to the Bangladesh Ansar and Village Defence Party among other organizations. So in that context, please see that India does not mention the Indo-Tibetan Border Police and Pakistan does not mention the Pakistan Rangers in the lede. Solomon The Magnifico (talk) 08:56, 27 May 2023 (UTC)

let's come to a mutual agreement here. I am removing the paramilitary section if you think it's so much less important to mention. But the other sections may remain, for the mutual consideration. Imamul Ifaz (talk) 12:14, 27 May 2023 (UTC)

Your edits show a lack of understanding of policies and guidelines, one that applies here is WP:LEAD. Also, do you happen to be using a LLM such as ChatGPT or Google Bard? QuicoleJR (talk) 16:35, 26 May 2023 (UTC)

I can ask you the same question cause you happen to be using a LLM such as ChatGPT or Google Bard. This is offensive and disrespectful to suspect someone using LLM without any proof. Imamul Ifaz (talk) 19:14, 26 May 2023 (UTC)

Did you just tell me I am using an LLM to write these? I am not, I assure you. Also, the main reason I asked was to confirm or deny the accusations of others towards you at WP:ANI. QuicoleJR (talk) 19:35, 26 May 2023 (UTC)

That has been also a false accusation as the user also didn't have any proof for such aligation. He used this to play his other aligations he had against me. Imamul Ifaz (talk) 07:44, 27 May 2023 (UTC)

Lead

As Alalch E. suggests in his revert of Imamul Ifaz, the lead section in Germany is a good example to follow. Germany has 4 paragraphs. Imamul is insisting on 6 paragraphs, and is adding even more information which is not necessary nor relevant.

Imamul needs to understand that the lead is not a nationalistic commentary, but a way for people around the world to understand Bangladesh in the most concise way possible. Concise, but has to be informative too. Solomon The Magnifico (talk) 09:13, 27 May 2023 (UTC)

I could also argue with the lead section of China or India being a good example of how a intro of a country should be. And the necessity of a information is not a personal opinion it is a debate with the whole community. As you said, people around the world to understand Bangladesh in the most concise way possible is what my point is. we need to describe Bangladesh in simple and broad way possible to let the audience know it's current situation in the world community.

@Alalch E. is not the representative of Bangladesh. I will not be convinced by his particular argument as he has been accused of being biased before. Imamul Ifaz (talk) 12:04, 27 May 2023 (UTC)

OK. See WP:CONSENSUS. The consensus is not in your favor right now. QuicoleJR (talk) 12:33, 27 May 2023 (UTC)

Only 3 person cannot decide it. WP:CONSENSUS also stated that grouping up against a user and pushing your own opinion on that person is not allowed. I would like you to read WP:Wikihounding, because thats what you three are doing right now. I will revert it back. You are no one to push your agenda on me. I have rights to share knowledge in wikipedia. Imamul Ifaz (talk) 15:30, 27 May 2023 (UTC)

1. Consensus can most certainly be decided by three editors in cases like this.

2. I am not wikihounding you, as I am not following you from discussion to discussion to oppose you.

QuicoleJR (talk) 15:43, 27 May 2023 (UTC)

Did you count the number of paragraphs in India and China? They have four paragraphs too, like Germany. You need to recognize that six long paragraphs defeats the purpose, especially if you include everything in the intro. Please respect WP:LEAD. Solomon The Magnifico (talk) 16:38, 27 May 2023 (UTC)

Images

In this edit, @Imamul Ifaz claimed an image from 2015 was more recent than the one he replaced (taken in 2022). He is clearly giving false justifications in his edit summaries to game the system. This is extremely disingenuous. Solomon The Magnifico (talk) 07:50, 29 May 2023 (UTC)

Nauka baich is a sport not a festival. Eid is a festival read Eid al-Fitr and Nouka Baich. Also there is no claim North South University is the largest university of Bangladesh. How did you even come up with that.

And Dargah doesn't represent a country's religion. It could be part of a separate section of Islam. Imamul Ifaz (talk) 09:19, 29 May 2023 (UTC)

An institute is an organization that is set up to do a particular type of work, especially research or teaching. Institutes can be public or private, and they can be large or small. Some common types of institutes include:

Research institutes, which conduct research in a particular field

Educational institutes, which provide education in a particular field

Professional institutes, which provide training and support for professionals in a particular field

Cultural institutes, which promote and preserve a particular culture

Social institutes, which address social problems

I believe who doesn't have a basic English knowledge should be banned from editing wikipedia. @Worldbruce I hope you see this. Imamul Ifaz (talk) 09:24, 29 May 2023 (UTC)

That is a personal attack and if @Worldbruce (who is biased against me) condones this, that would be very unfortunate. Solomon The Magnifico (talk) 10:31, 29 May 2023 (UTC)

You don't know the meaning of a basic English word "institute" and accused me of misusing the word. It has nothing to do with personal attack. You are doing Argument from ignorance

• WP:VAND
  • WP:Wikihounding Argument from ignorance is not allowed in wikipedia. @QuicoleJR why are you quite on this?

Imamul Ifaz (talk) 11:51, 29 May 2023 (UTC)

Why did you feel the need to get me involved? QuicoleJR (talk) 14:04, 29 May 2023 (UTC)

I believe you and @Alalch E. are very supportive towards him. Im suspecting these 3 are the same accounts. Imamul Ifaz (talk) 17:30, 29 May 2023 (UTC)

Sockpuppetry is a severe accusation. It should never be made without evidence. QuicoleJR (talk) 17:53, 29 May 2023 (UTC)

I said North South University is a university, not an institute. Solomon The Magnifico (talk) 14:37, 29 May 2023 (UTC)

Government type in infobox

Hi Nurusa101, Yoshi24517 and Gråbergs Gråa Sång, it was HapHaxion who added the description a couple of days ago. It was removed later by Nurusa101. HapHaxion re-added and expanded the bit a couple of hours ago. Since then there have been several reverts. I am not involved myself, could you please discuss it? soetermans. ^{↑↑↓↓←→←→ B A TALK} 20:34, 8 January 2024 (UTC)

The edit was unnecessary and doesnt follow the conventions of this encylcopdia. Other countries that are described as "becoming autocratic" are not marked as such like Hungary, Pakistan, Algeria, Tunisia, India , etc and this principle must be applied to this page as well Nurusa101 (talk) 20:40, 8 January 2024 (UTC)

Yeah, my reaction was TBH mostly to the cite-error and apparent removal of sources. Looking at the context again, it seems the infobox "Unitary parliamentary republic under an authoritarian state" does not match current article content, and the refs in the infobox seems very recent. So, I'm not wedded to "my" version. Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 20:41, 8 January 2024 (UTC)

So should we revert back to Unitary Parlimentary Republic? Nurusa101 (talk) 20:43, 8 January 2024 (UTC)

I've done so. Infobox (at least this part of it) should not deviate from article content, it's for simple uncontroversial stuff, hopefully sourced in the article already. Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 20:53, 8 January 2024 (UTC)

Gallup survey and the census

@Soetermans @Yung Yohan I started a discussion on the user page of yung yohan but this seems to be a better place.

Both of you guys are messing with the 2022 census results and combining it with a 2015 survey which doesn't even mention the 86% figure for islam as gallup only talks about religious, not religious and atheist so why remove the 91% figure for those who said they were muslim in the 2022 census and make it 86% muslim when the 2015 gallup survey doesn't even mention islam?
