Hi Tito Dutta, the above photo was deleted but the same photo had the permission to use it. The file has been archived in the wikimedia OTRS system available as ticket number 2014100910013282, so I believe this file is eligible for restore as OTRS ticket was approved only after necessary research on the photo.Rajeshbieee (talk) 18:43, 3 July 2016 (UTC)

Improvement of list of Articles

Hi Dear Titodutta Thanx for responding about the event of Punjab edit-a-thon on my talk page.I have gone through the list of articles and found that it miss articles on most important aspects of punjab. on the other hand it contains many articles of lesser importance for the State and its people.Moreover as your title reflect "Punjab edit-a-thon: Write for glory" most of the articles relate to glorification and there is hardly any article on the crisis of the state and its people are facing.May I know how this list is prepared and can it still be amended.I am an active member of the community and want to contribute in this event if the content to be created is worthwhile.--Harvinder Chandigarh (talk) 12:03, 6 July 2016 (UTC)

Better source request for File:Anya Theatre Bengali theatre group logo.jpg

Thanks for your upload to Wikipedia:

You provided a source, but it is difficult for other users to examine the copyright status of the image because the source is incomplete. Please consider clarifying the exact source so that the copyright status may be checked more easily.

First Light

Hi, Have you read the book First Light (Ganguly novel) (in the original Bengali)? If you haven't, you really MUST MUST do it ASAP. It occurred to me that Wikipedia might be the best place to "promote" this novel. What we need to do is come up with a complete list of historical characters mentioned in this book (as a section in the WP article) AND introduce a single para titled "In fiction" (or something like that) in each of those biographies. Also ping Hrishikes if they have got anything to add here. Solomon7968 07:16, 24 August 2016 (UTC)

Solomon7968 : It should not be treated as a single novel; this is actually part of a trilogy: Sei Samay - Pratham Alo - Purba Paschim, each in 2 volumes and encompassing a specific period of the histoty of Bengal. Yes, I have read all three. The author had made very exhaustive research into the then happenings and lives of the historical characters. He also provided a long bibliography. Anyway, I am active mainly in Wikisource, so cannot devote time in WP. However, I think I may be having digital copies of all three somewhere in my hard disc, I have a huge collection, so I'll have to check. If u wish, I can make a list of historical characters in Pratham Alo for u, but it will take some time. Hrishikes (talk) 10:01, 24 August 2016 (UTC)
  • I read the novel. I have a PDF copy of the book. If you want I can share a cop with you privately. I am unsure why is this article name "First Light", and not "Prothom Alo". --Tito Dutta (talk) 10:41, 24 August 2016 (UTC)
Yeah I read it from PDF too. And presumably the title is in English to avoid conflict with the Bangladeshi newspaper "Prothom Alo". Hrishikes, it is okay if you can come up with ALL the characters of the trilogy and then we can start adding the para I mentioned earlier in each of those biographies.

Solomon7968 It is very difficult, almost every character is historical, another large group is mentioned in passing. From the first few pages (15-20 or so) I got this list (I know these people to be historical):

  1. Birchandra Manikya
  2. Col. Mahim Chandra Thakur
  3. Lal Chokla
  4. Shashi Bhushan Sinha
  5. Jadunath Bhattacharya
  6. Queen Bhanumati of Tripura
  7. Ishan Chandra Manikya, mentioned
  8. Queen Rajeshwari, mentioned
  9. Radhakishore Manikya, mentioned
  10. Samarendra Chandra Deb Barman, mentioned
  11. Col Sukhdeb Thakur
  12. Radharaman Ghosh
  13. William Bentinck, mentioned
  14. Rammohan Ray, mentioned
  15. Queen Manomohini
  16. Umakanta Das, mentioned
  17. Michael Madhusaudan Dutt, mentioned
  18. Bankim Chandra Chattopadhyay, mentioned

There are 424 pages in Vol 1, 716 pages in Vol 2, hundreds of characters, new characters crop up every few pages, almost all of them are historical. This project will take too much time, one needs to read every paragraph attentively. I don't think I can be useful in this, sorry. Hrishikes (talk) 15:03, 24 August 2016 (UTC)

Ok then I suppose a para detailing the plot needs to be added to the main Bengali renaissance article with proper secondary sources, preferably academic. Do you know of any book/journal academic thesis directly discussing the book? Maybe a Calcutta University professor or ABP Group journalist can help us. Solomon7968 15:27, 24 August 2016 (UTC)

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Jyotirlinga, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Aurangabad. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.
