Changes to userbox templates

Hi, I've noticed that you've changed the color schemes of {{User mysql}}, {{User java}} and {{Php}}. Those userboxes are part of numbered sequences, and should follow the default colors of {{Userbox-level}} to be consistent with the rest of their sequences. I've left {{User standards compliant}}, though, because it's not part of any sequence. Please discuss changes to color schemes in the future, because you may inadvertently pick colors that don't contrast well or are not visible to the color blind.

Userboxes

Userboxes that general reflect a user's point of view are generally put in a User name space. If its put in the Template namespace it must very specifically read User after the Template:

Please see Userbox Namespaces. Also with in the community it was decided that a userbox mitigation would occur where all these user specific templates that did not contribute to the encyclopedic nature of Misplaced Pages, but rather to express POV's of users with in the community should be hosted solely in the user namespace. Please do not change any template redirects or create new template userboxes with out becoming familiar with these policies. I've reverted the redirects you removed. Mkdw 20:13, 4 December 2010 (UTC)

The userbox (User:Mkdw/Mozilla Firefox) in question uses a firefox logo that is violating Mozilla Firefox logo policy. see http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/about/logo/download.html . So either the redirection should be changed to any other userbox or User:Mkdw/Mozilla Firefox sould use a correct logo. The other to moving u have done were already in Misplaced Pages and if redirection made then it I guess is better to be in UBX (as it is solely for Userboxes).--nafSadh নাফী ম. সাধ 04:43, 5 December 2010 (UTC)
Wrong. The logo on the Firefox usebox is not the Mozilla Firefox. Also, Mozilla Firefox encourages users to post on their websites or businesses that they use Firefox, hence their logo policy. Furthermore, if you use their logo directly (which we aren't) we could still use it here on Misplaced Pages as long as it was the official one that had its R or TM stamp on it. Lastly, you didn't link the Trademark policy and here's the correct link for your convenience: . I also thought I'd point out that ALL Mozilla products are open source and it states it on the very bottom of every single one of their pages that the content is under the creative commons 3.0 which means anyone can use it.

Unsubstantiated statement about the castle rock (article: Computer)

The statement that the castle rock is considered to be the earliest programmable analog computer is unsubstantiated and therefore this paragraph should be removed until a reference is found.
A Misplaced Pages editor should produce (I quote): no original research and accept verifiability. In Misplaced Pages:Referencing for beginners the introduction states that Any editor can remove unreferenced material this is all I did and you removed my edit refusing any discussion (Talk:Computer#Unsubstantiated statement about the castle rock)! Furthermore there is no such thing as a programmable analog computer. This paragraph needs to go until a reference is found.
--Ezrdr (talk) 17:24, 22 April 2011 (UTC)

Please keep the talk on the article, so all talk occurs in one place. I removed it and asked you to introduce a discussion, so that editors can discuss on the fact and resolve dispute. Please check the reply I posted there. A citation is given, and you only disapprove the citation. It seems to me, the notion of castle rock can be kept. Have a discussion, and make poll. As I am not expert on the very matter, while reviewing, I just saw that you removed a long existing thing without any talk and thought that, discussion should be there. I undid your edit because this paragraph better stay in the article until the dispute is resolved. Please wait for some days (until your talk goes to archive) and if some reply comes then act according to discussion, otherwise replace the paragraph with one or two short sentences; or even delete them then. Just try to get some opinion of some experts, that is all.
I welcome everyone's effort and like to be welcomed for my effort also :-| --নাফী ম. সাধ nafSadh 18:20, 22 April 2011 (UTC)
You mention the five pillars of Misplaced Pages in your introduction. The second pillar says that all articles must strive for verifiable accuracy: unreferenced material may be removed, so please provide references. The sentence: the castle rock is considered to be the earliest programmable analog computer is unreferenced and a programmable analog computer is yet to be found ; this paragraph is in the computer article because it has the computer word in it. Do the right thing, add a verifiable reference, that's all! --Ezrdr (talk) 20:16, 22 April 2011 (UTC)
I'm continuing the talk on Talk:Computer#Unsubstantiated statement about the castle rock. Please do not expect immediate reply and allow delay as we can not check Misplaced Pages so rapidly --নাফী ম. সাধ nafSadh 20:59, 22 April 2011 (UTC)

April 2011

Welcome to Misplaced Pages! I am glad to see you are interested in discussing a topic. However, as a general rule, talk pages are for discussion related to improving the article, not general discussion about the topic. If you have specific questions about certain topics, consider visiting our reference desk and asking them there instead of on article talk pages. Next time, instead of constantly asking for sources as you did here and here why don't you use the google search engine to find refs yourself? Thank you. Pass a Method talk 07:58, 25 April 2011 (UTC)

in Talk:Alawi I asked "are Alawis syncretic?" not as a general discussion but as a question that, if mentioning Alawis as syncretic in article lead is valid as there was no citation. Now I see a ref is been added. It seems OK now.
I would have expected a reply in relevant talk instead of here though. :P You confused my review request as forum discussion. So
In here I really disagree that the hadith is authentic and I even not asked for source there. I found that the description source, (i.e. the order of who descried the hadith) is not a very strong one and this hadith may be considered as a weak or non-auhtentic hadith to many Islamic scholars. So, my suggestion is to remove this disputable hadith. Only finding a hadith do not make it authentic, there are method of classifying hadith in regard to authenticity.
In case of Alawi my first try to find a good source has failed. It is not others duty to find citations but the editors who introduces some information which requires citations.
According to Misplaced Pages:Five pillars "All articles must strive for verifiable accuracy: unreferenced material may be removed, so please provide references. Editors' personal experiences, interpretations, or opinions do not belong here." Next time instead of constantly adding information without citing sources, I think it is better if you, please try to add sources; and as you search engines you already have the sources.
It is better not to advise (or advertise) any specific search engine. --08:28, 25 April 2011 (UTC)
If you disagree with a certain source, i advice you to post a comment on the following shortcut: WP:RSN. Thanks Pass a Method talk 08:39, 25 April 2011 (UTC)

Thanks for your feedback. I've been through WP:NPP before and try to act according to it. I also try to follow WP:CSD while tagging for speedy deletion. Sometimes pages seem to be having multiple issue or are just made for fun/test/self-promotion; in such cases CSD criteria needs to be compromised for the best one. Sometimes I go with AfD when I'm confused if it should be CSD or not.

Apostles, Messengers and Rasul

Rasul and Apostle are equivalent to each other. We must remember that Apostle is another word for Messenger or Message-Bearer.

Now, this, as I am sure you are aware, is a matter of great contention in the Muslim faith, with dozens of alternative interpretations attached to the differentiation between Apostle and Prophet. But, I, after having made a careful Qur'anic study, have realized that a Messenger, as so far as I can interpret, refers to a Prophet specifically sent to a specific land. The general interpretation that a Messenger is a Prophet with a scripture is rendered irrelevant when we study the Qur'an, which names Ishmael, Jonah and Elijah as Messengers but no scripture is mentioned for either of them. Ok, here are some of the people the Qur'an explicitly names as messengers:

So this is my interpretation of the phrases prophet and apostle. But, we must remember that the Christians use the term Apostle to refer to some of Jesus's disciples, as when they say Apostle Peter or Apostle James or Apostle Matthew. In Islam, Apostle is NEVER used for a disciple of prophet, be they any of Jesus's disciple or Muhammad's disciples such as Abu Bakr and Ali. So, I agree with you that Rasul is clearer to use on the page of Abraham but the reason I put Apostle is because more people will understand it; perhaps you can give your opinions? --Imadjafar (talk) 13:48, 7 June 2011 (UTC)

So far I understood from my reading (I rely on translation and my limited knowledge of Arabic) on Qur'an, Prophets mentioned there are all from around Arabian peninsula (where human of far past concentrated). Each Nabi or Rasul has a specific people. People may be a small clan or whole mankind. e.g. Muhammad was prophet and rasul for all human. The Arabic word Nabi is always translated as prophet. But, messenger and apostle are used interchangeably for rasul & mursalin. The problem is, while prophet means the same as nabi, apostle and messenger do not mean the same as they are intended to. That's why, I am bit confused, so I'll prefer to translate rasul as rasul.
About apostle, it is more confusing than messenger.
In Qur'an it is stated that, there was a holy scripture revealed to Ibrahim (Abraham). But, in related ayahs there is no direct use of the word rasul.
Shakir uses Apostle, while Pickthall, Yusuf Ali, Sarwar & some others used Messenger. Some capitalize Messenger or some use lower case.
If to chose between Apostle & Messenger, I'll prefer Messenger. Rasul (special case of r-s-l) means someone who bears message. While most dictionaries define apostle as one of the 12 disciples of Jesus - which definitely don't fit for rasul. 15:16, 7 June 2011 (UTC)

Yes, as the general interpretation of Apostle is the Twelve Disciples of Jesus, I suggest we translate it as a Messenger; it is more clear than Rasul, which many may not understand? Do you agree?--Imadjafar (talk) 15:36, 7 June 2011 (UTC)

If you see the history on the article, I introduced it after one editor removed the word messenger. You can put a note in the related talk page and change. I'll be cool with that. » nafSadh did say 15:42, 7 June 2011 (UTC)

Hapag Lloyd thing

I've changed your tag from context to inc. There was enough context to establish that it was an airline with a reasonable fleet - but how notable it is is another matter.

Nope! they are semi-protected cause they are victims of regular IP vandals. Anyway, I've seen that, some of your recent edits are not improvements. You need to read 5 pillars of Misplaced Pages and other guidelines pages posted on your talk.

Declined CSD nominations.

I have declined your CSD nominations on Better by design. There is reasonable claims of notability and being discussed in multiple reliable sources. The article also is not explicitly promotional in attempting to sell a government program. An analog would be the Energy Star program. If you still think it is important to delete this article please file an AfD request. Hasteur (talk) 18:12, 9 December 2011 (UTC)

I CSD'd it not because of its mare notability issue but induced by its advertise-like prose. Often we have to re-do articles from scratch, even by deleting them for its improper initiation. I'm not going for a AfD right away as I see there are some concerned editors all along. If this article fails to turn into a credible one it may go into AfD by me or someone else. Till then, let it breath for good. — 19:39, 9 December 2011 (UTC)

Reversion of Wikitable formatting

Sorry, I am not familiar with the recommended styles for wikitables; your edit was on a page that receives a lot of vandalism, particularly deletions, and the colouring that was deleted appeared to be useful. No need to threaten an edit war. Nadiatalent (talk) 15:50, 28 December 2011 (UTC)

Segs4Vets

Hello, I just signed onto wikipedia and saw the note about the speedy deletion that you tag for Segs4Vets. I was not able to make any corrections to assist in the article before deleted. The speedy deletion was tag on Dec 30 and today I checked wikipedia on Dec 31 and it was already deleted. I modeled the Segs4Vets article after Wounded Warrior Project. Why was SegsVets deleted and not Wounded Warrior Project? Nafsadh, I would like make the Segs4Vets apart of the wikipedia community. Thank you DavidMinhPham (talk) 17:21, 31 December 2011 (UTC)

Invitation to events: bot, template, and Gadget makers wanted

I thought you might want to know about some upcoming events where you can learn more about MediaWiki customization and development, extending functionality with JavaScript, the future of ResourceLoader and Gadgets, the new Lua templating system, how to best use the web API for bots, and various upcoming features and changes. We'd love to have power users, bot maintainers and writers, and template makers at these events so we can all learn from each other and chat about what needs doing.

Check out the Chennai event in March, the Berlin hackathon in June, the developers' days preceding Wikimania in July in Washington, DC, or any other of our events.

speedy

I have removed your A7 speedy tag on several articles.

The criterion does not apply to any article that makes any credible claim of significance or importance. Asserting someone is a professor in a university or the author of a book, other than a self-published book, is a plausible indication of importance. Some of the articles you marked are , in fact, actually notable, a much higher standard--see WP:PROF, and WP:AUTHOR.

Be careful with articles on people that have corresponding articles in their national language Wikipedias--sometimes the articles may indeed not be justified, or may meet their standards but not ours, but usually they are valid, and for most of the European language encyclopedias, our notability standards are broader.

Speedy A7 has nothing to do with notability, and the guideline deliberately avoids using the term. Any good faith indication of importance is sufficient. DGG ( talk ) 20:16, 10 March 2012 (UTC)

Edits of Prophets of Islam

I would like to encourage both you and Shaad lko to stop reverting each others edits and consult policy before proceeding with edits to Prophets of Islam. Both you and Shaad lko have been around long enough to know edit warring is against Misplaced Pages policy.

Now, as for the inclusion of the term "paraclete", it does not seem appropriate in light of Misplaced Pages's neutrality guidelines to include that right next to His name without qualification or context. On the other hand, I do see it as entirely appropriate to include cited sources including the notable position of belief that Muhammad is the paraclete. Peter Deer (talk) 05:56, 13 April 2012 (UTC)

I have similar opinion and have considered all of those that you mentioned here, but could not avoid being on war on the ground: "the inclusion of the term "paraclete", it does not seem appropriate in light of Misplaced Pages's neutrality guidelines to include that right next to His name without qualification or context". Try reading: what I posted on talk. --06:05, 13 April 2012 (UTC)

If you are a member of one or more of the IEEE technical societies, you may wish to identify yourself as such on Misplaced Pages. I’ve created Wikipedian categories for each of the 38 IEEE technical societies. The new Template:User IEEE member creates a userbox identifying the society and your membership grade and includes your user page in the relevant Wikipedian category. If you have any questions, feel free to drop me a note. Yours aye,  Buaidh  19:19, 11 December 2013 (UTC) — IEEE Life Member

Cookies

Thank you for the Welcome. I was asked to create a new user name by an editor as my old one (working since 2006) seemed to be an issue -- rehsgal --- and I seem to be having some difficulty with articles I posted on Misplaced Pages many years ago. Might I be able to enlist your help with the resolution of these issues? If so, would you mind looking at emile munier and rehs galleries, inc.. These articles have been active on Misplaced Pages for years (one since 2006 and the other since 2009) and now one editor seems to find fault with them -- one is scheduled for deletion and in the other all the text was removed (actually, I just looked at the Rehs entry and it is completely gone!). Both were written and accepted with the full disclosure of my connection and as far as I was informed previously, were not done in any self-serving way. I am also not sure how an article on a 19th century artist can be self-serving?

I would greatly appreciate your thoughts since you appear to be a major contributor to Misplaced Pages and probably have a great depth of knowledge regarding articles. The editor who has found fault with my entries is ... https://en.wikipedia.org/User:DissidentAggressor.

If this is not something you care to be involved with, I completely understand and thank you for your time.

Regarding Edits to Ahom and Mughal Empire

Hello Nafsadh. I would like to ask you to please stop reverting my edits to the Mughal Empire and Ahom pages. What I added to the status box corresponds to what is in each of the respective articles. The Mughal Empire's defeat left it under British Control as a protectorate in 1764 until the Maratha restored the Emperor in Delhi under their protection in 1772, remaining so until the British reestablished their control in 1803. The Mughal Emperor would remain under their effective control until the rebellion of 1857, when the emperor was selected to be the leader of the rebellion. After the fall of Delhi later that year, the Mughal Empire came to an end. As for Ahom, it was under Burmese control briefly in 1817, in 1819-1820, and finally from 1821-1825. In 1825 the British took control of Ahom from the Burmese, and the treaty in 1826 cemented their hold over the region. This information is summarized within the respected articles, as well as the articles about the country's respective rulers. The information I added is relevant, and since it is already sourced in the article, there is no need to add any more sources. Just leave the information as it is, and let's not start an edit war. Thank you. Toolen (talk) 03:27, 22 August 2014 (UTC)

WP:BLPPROD

Since you didn't respond at WP:ANI, I am not sure whether you saw this reposnse or not. I think it is important enough that I repeat it here so I know you see it.

You should go back and read WP:BLPPROD again. It says you can only add a BLPPROD to an article if it has no sources in any form. The reliable source portion only kicks in when sources are added after a BLPPROD is on the article. If there are any sources in any form that confirm any information in the article then a BLPPROD can not be added. There were sources in the article that confirmed information (reliability of those sources have nothing to do with it) so a BLPPROD was inappropriate. You were absolutely wrong to add a BLPPROD to the article.

BLPPROD is unique in that any source, reliable or not, that confirms any information in the article precludes the addition of a BLPPROD. To remove a BLPPROD that has been added to an article without any sources requires at least one reliable source. GB fan 12:06, 7 September 2014 (UTC)

Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi

I noticed your edit with interest and this is just a comment rather than a criticism. I had never noticed until I looked it up here that that US English uses "immigrate" in the way you describe, whereas as the British say people "emigrate to" a country. The editor who wrote "emigrate to" must have been British, but as this article uses American spellings clearly your change to "immigrate to" must remain. --P123ct1 (talk) 13:05, 13 September 2014 (UTC)

I am not sure whether it is as British vs. American thing; I was taught En(UK) till 12th grade until I started to favor EN(US). Although it is somewhat obvious from e-/im- that, both words stemmed from same root to mean something different (exit/enter), people often wrongly use them interchangeably. I even didn't notice the error until an IP user went really bothered with it and changed it. --– nafSadh did say 16:15, 13 September 2014 (UTC)

Tejgaon thana?

You said "Upazilas and Thanas never co-existed as admin units. So all Upazilas were thanas." So how do you explain the thanas that currently exist, for example this one? Sminthopsis84 (talk) 14:31, 21 October 2014 (UTC)

Thana as we discuss in the article Upazilas of Bangladesh never co-existed with upazilas. There are other type of thanas, which are purely part of police (law enforcement) system and not part of administration hierarchy. These ambiguity caused trouble. A similar administrative level once was Mohkuma, but they were abolished long ago. I have tried to cover a bit on this on history section of the article. I do not have much sources with me, so I cannot add much to it. Perhaps we have to find some secondary school level text book.
However, the statement "Many subdistricts were formerly called thana" is wrong; 1st because, all upazilas we have now in Bangladesh were either directly converted to upazila from thana, or made as a result of dividing a upazila. 2nd, there is no word as subdistrict in Bangladesh's governing system.
These being said, it is wise not to dig much into this thana puzzle, it is terribly baffling to understand unless you are properly familiar with it. Despite you are a very important contributor in Bangladesh related article, I presumed you are not a native of it. Every time I stumbled upon this article about upazilas, I looked at it, said OMG please help and then went away! except for the last time I finally decided to make a few change. 15:33, 21 October 2014 (UTC)
Oh! also note that, Dhaka has a different structure for administration. Dhaka city is actually divided into two separate city corporations, Dhaka city is not part of any conventional upazila, but DMP is organized in many thanas (police stations). 15:41, 21 October 2014 (UTC)
Okay, if the problem can't be solved then I will stop trying to do anything about Bangladesh articles about administrative geography. I will remove all upazila pages from my watch list. Sminthopsis84 (talk) 17:45, 21 October 2014 (UTC)
Hey! Don't give up! If we focus on recent info, they are more structured and has some sources -- not a lot, but there are some. 21:09, 21 October 2014 (UTC)
Sminthopsis84, as are so many things about Bangladesh in Misplaced Pages, the title Tejgaon Thana, as well Gulshan Thana and Dhanmondi Thana, are wrong. They are simply police stations, with no administrative identity. Our cities are divided into wards. To use an obsolete term like Thana today, when it was discarded in 1984, is the height of being misguided. The term needs to be deleted and the articles should titled with only the name of the neighborhood.--Rainmaker23 (talk) 00:52, 23 October 2014 (UTC)
As I said, I am giving up editing anything to do with administrative geography in Bangladesh because of this. I think Banglapedia is correct, but there are too many wikipedia editors claiming that it is wrong. Sminthopsis84 (talk) 11:40, 23 October 2014 (UTC)

B-baria, B.baria and other abbreviations occur on maps

Hi, would you mind taking a look at the latest edits on Brahmanbaria District‎ and B-baria City, Bangladesh? Thanks. Sminthopsis84 (talk) 18:37, 14 December 2014 (UTC)

Looks like there are huge problems associated with B'Baria in Misplaced Pages. I'll look into in detail after Monday. In a nutshell, actual name is Brahmanbaria. Abbreviations B-Baria, B'Baria etc is often used. B-baria City, Bangladesh should be Brahmanbaria. – nafSadh did say 20:30, 14 December 2014 (UTC)
Thanks. I should point out that other people have taken action in the meantime, and that the history is very confusing, for example, a page that was called "B-baria City (Bangladesh)" when it was edited is now called "Brahmanbaria", so the edits appear to make no sense (I think there must have been changes recently to the way page histories are displayed, because I'm sure that sort of misrepresentation did not happen in the past). I hope that Brahmanbaria is as good a page as it ever was, and hasn't been overwritten by a poorer version, but I'm tired of this sort of silliness and hope that you don't mind having a less jaded look at it all.

The change came to my notice. There are many silly problems with such articles. We have proposed WP:BDPLACE to address some of these problems. I am also planning to put forward a BDMOS (preparing draft at: User:Nafsadh/Best practices for Bangladesh related articles) to address more issues. Thanks for your efforts in Wikiproject Bangladesh and overall Misplaced Pages. – nafSadh did say 13:48, 15 December 2014 (UTC)
Thanks. Some best-practices guidelines could be quite useful, I think. The Brahmanbaria situation may be getting worse; as I write this it is a disambiguation page that doesn't link to the city at all. The person doing this hasn't even been warned, but since I get scolded for being a foreigner if I engage with a Bangladeshi editor, I am hesitant to try to intercede here. Sminthopsis84 (talk) 00:46, 17 December 2014 (UTC)
You can warn. Misplaced Pages policy do not specify anything about nationality. Please give appropriate warning and report ANI or RfC/UC as necessary. You are more active in Wikiproject Bangladesh than most other Bangladeshi editors and you warrant same right as anyone. – nafSadh did say 02:36, 17 December 2014 (UTC)
Thanks, it's kind of you to say that. I'm particularly concerned with the page histories, which are now very confusing, and I'll ask an admin for advice on how to, I hope, roll back to an earlier version. I've left the first request for the person to stop doing this, so I hope they might stop. Sminthopsis84 (talk) 04:12, 17 December 2014 (UTC)
A dearly feel the need of a good admin from Bangladesh too. I am not experienced enough and can't handle situations when a party is very persistent about pushing their POV. I am afraid I would not be able to spend enough time to fight these issues in next few weeks. But let me know about anything, I'd be more than happy to provide my insight and I would look forward to get help from your experience to stand for Misplaced Pages's quality. Thank you again for your relentless good work.
I hope community would adopt WP:BDPLACE asap. – nafSadh did say 06:22, 17 December 2014 (UTC)

Being an admin is a very different job, I think, that would take away from one's ability to make content edits. Some admins are discussing this situation, so I expect it will be fixed soon, though I saw one person remark that it was too confusing (we'll need to check afterwards that your recent changes like removing that "Template:Lang-fr" are still in place.) What I have tried to do generally is just to insert citations, and I usually use Banglapedia because it is so easy to cite, in the hope that with more citations as examples new users will follow the example of citing sources. Sometimes I fix something that has been poorly translated. I don't do much any more on the contentious pages about history and politics. I'm not much of a geography editor, so I don't know what best practice is in those projects, and I do believe that experience with best-practice guidelines is essential to appreciating whether they are workable or not. A major hurdle to adopting your convention, I think, is that most editors don't know enough about wiki-editing to understand it. I made some edits that are suggestions (please revert if you disagree). It would be nice to mention rivers. I'd also say that "territories" in most parts of the world are very large areas (Northwest Territory, Oklahoma Territory), so it could be good if that word can be explained and perhaps linked to a precise meaning.

Thanks for you suggestions on WP:BDPLACE. Can you share your thoughts on Wikipedia_Talk:BDPLACE. There are few other people who discussed on it. (Alert!) The discussion is a bit confusing now. – nafSadh did say 18:36, 17 December 2014 (UTC)

Brahmanbaria

You may wish to participate in a discussion at Talk:Brahmanbaria. Sminthopsis84 (talk) 18:58, 17 December 2014 (UTC)

Sigh! Its an arbcom situation! There is no talk history, no edit history, where would we even talk! Please spawn an WP:BD page for talk. – nafSadh did say 19:21, 17 December 2014 (UTC)
Is that still something that you want to spawn? In the meantime, you might be interested in some further comments about obfuscated page histories at User_talk:De728631#User:Armaanaziz. Sminthopsis84 (talk) 14:38, 19 December 2014 (UTC)
I am super baffled. I am also traveling. So, I'd try to keep an eye on but not sure. – nafSadh did say 00:53, 20 December 2014 (UTC)
Further to this, would you have time to look at related material in the bpy and the bn wikipedias? Some changes have been made at wikivoyage (and there is another user name there that may be intended to be a minor variation on a user name here, but so far without a plagiarized user page) and at the Italian wikipedia. If you don't have time and can let me know, I can look for someone else with the necessary skills. Sorry to bother you. Sminthopsis84 (talk) 15:00, 24 December 2014 (UTC)
Thanks for informing. I am getting married tomorrow; so I'd be busy for a while. I'd try to give some insight but I'm not sure. – nafSadh did say 16:35, 24 December 2014 (UTC)
Congratulations! That's a cheerful reason for not having time to edit wikipedia. Very best wishes to you both. Sminthopsis84 (talk) 15:15, 25 December 2014 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for January 14

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Misplaced Pages appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Mymensingh Division, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Sherpur (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). 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.

It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, DPL bot (talk) 09:02, 14 January 2015 (UTC)

Bangladesh, history and so on

You just wait and see how I completely change the Bangladesh article. In one week. --Rainmaker23 (talk) 14:46, 16 February 2015 (UTC)

BDPLACE

What happened to BDPLACE? The conversation died down? Shall I restart the discussion? Aditya 04:09, 19 February 2015 (UTC)

No one else gave any more feedback. I went busy with graduation, wedding and stuff. So couldn't start the pilot either. Can you start the pilot? – nafSadh did say 04:53, 19 February 2015 (UTC)
Okay. I may not be very quick at that. But, I am getting to it. Please, keep an eye on the pilot if you have time. Aditya 02:38, 22 February 2015 (UTC)

Personal attack on Bangladesh Talk page

Take a look and see how he threat me! I think it's high time to put him ANI again.—Samudrakula (talk) 12:03, 1 March 2015 (UTC)

You should. If you have some time to compile a case, please put it. Also add a reference to just archived ANI about him from Rohingya article. He is a habitual perpetrator of PA and EW. – nafSadh did say 14:39, 1 March 2015 (UTC)
