== Help with a few ignorant and stubborn people ==

Sorry to be bothering you Ragib but it seems there are forces out there that try to keep facts in check through their own take on history. Case in point seems to be a certain user RedArrow who despite my best attempts to provide a balanced view of the ] and despite Bharatveer's reverts on the article keeps moving back to his own version despite lack of neutral sources. Moreover he takes this flawed version to the ] too and argues that the PNS Ghazi somehow "singlehanndedly blockaded" the entire Western Naval fleet based on one source - Defence Journal - a Pakistani military publication. Despite trying to provide contradictory evidence or the lack thereof, in the talk pages he refuses to accept it accusing me of POV etc.

Additionally you might want to take a look at (and keep it in your watchlist) ] where ] origianlly claimed the 1971 genocide and the relevant recordings on Nixon and Kissinger were "original research" then after a glance at the BBC article seemed to change the entire wordings to suit his needs. Please assist. Tx --] 18:40, 30 July 2006 (UTC)

:Hi again Ragib. It seems I too had violated the 3RR. :| But in the Richard Nixon article, you have actually warned the lesser of the two problematic editors, i.e. Cripipper instead of Rjensen who has been blatantly adding fake history when the source given says otherwise. says "Nixon was reluctant to give any vocal support" when the source says they provided military assistance. I'm restoring only the select paragraph instead of reverting. I hope that's not a problem. ] 02:00, 31 July 2006 (UTC)


:btw, the ] and ] remain unreverted with a propagandist version on events. I've provided neutral sources like TIME and orbat.com among others but it seem like banging on a brick wall when I try to point that says nowhere "stolen" debris of the plane as he keeps insisting. Same situation with the PN page. ] 02:25, 31 July 2006 (UTC)

::If you can spare some time, try looking at Richard Nixon page histories where despite providing sources he keeps claiming that the 71 genocide was first "Indian claim" then "media reports". It seems he has little grasp on the events of the 71 war but being a staunch pro-Nixon fan seems to put him on a pedastal. After I made so many edits to enlarge the perspective he now has tagged it as POV since he seemed to have been offended by so much bad publicity. I've also reported ] for 3RR but it seems he is blatantly misquoting sources and blindly reverting any edits of mine, even ones attempted to reach a compromise. Please take some time to resolve these issues since I myself am constrained by time. ] 13:47, 31 July 2006 (UTC)
::Nonsense: I have been adding correct history. The article is about Nixon and it should explain his policies, not be used as a launch pad to vent Indian hatreds of Pakistan--and Indian resentlment that Nixon privately called Indira a witch! The issue as Nixon explained was how to avoid war and help the refugees, while keeping a strong American ally. This is not the article to discuss the atrocities -- it is about American policies. ] 21:00, 31 July 2006 (UTC)



==Atanveer9 ==
Ragib,

Are you Misplaced Pages employee or just a user? I am still confused what gives you the right to delete any new entry without event understanding the content.

I am adding a new entry to define the term BDEvents which has recently been a talk topic between all Bangladeshis in USA. It is not a company nor a profit sharing website. It is just a community and forum like BNP or Jatiya Party.

Not sure how much you understand of that and why you delete any further entry.

So for curiosity my question is, are you employed by wikipedia (so have been asked to protect any new term) or you just get notified for anything to do with bangladesh? How does it work? {{unsigned|Atanveer9 }}

Hi. I'm assuming you know that most of the edits that ] reverts are mine. He's accused me of trolling, and I'd like to make my position on this clear, before anyone starts blocking me for incivility or the like. You're impartial, so I feel it'd be best to make my case here, on your talk page.

Duncharris sometimes makes his views felt rather strongly on some topics, notably ] and ]. I myself am a bit of a railway buff, so on some edits we can clash slightly. When we do, I try to stay calm, and I leave a civil note on his talk page, which gets promptly reverted. Some of his edit summaries, notably , , and can get a little grating at times, so I leave him a warning, which again gets promptly reverted, followed by edits on , removing my notice on edit summaries, and removing cleanup tags I placed at and (both of which on articles I often watch for vandalism, and which he has never before edited). The most recent note I left was on , which frankly in my opinion was uncalled for. I admit at I have been less than civil, but I hope you can see where I'm coming from.

I don't expect you to do anything about this, but I hope this at least shows my viewpoint on matters. Thankyou ] 19:43, 1 August 2006 (UTC)

== Stamps ==

Hello. I read your comments on fair use stamps. I am not very clear about the fair-use issue yet. For example ] was removed from the article ]. I had uploaded the image to "to illustrate the stamp in question". I put the image to illustrate the sentence "The Posts and Telegraph Department of India also paid homage to Pandit Vishnu Narayan Bhatkhande by releasing, on 1 September, 1961, a commemorative stamp portraying Bhatkhande. That particular date was chosen as it was Janmashtami on that day.". The sentence was in the death and legacy section. There cannot exist free images of a stamp and it will come in public domain after many years. So there doesn't exist any way to illustrate the stamp in question. Isn't that a valid fair use? - ] (] - ]) 07:47, 5 August 2006 (UTC)

:Well, the image description page for the image you mentioned above does not have the fair use rationale. If you do refer to the stamp in the text (not a one liner, but at least something more than that), and use the stamp image right there, the stamp usage may be justifiable under "Fair use".

:I myself added a lot of stamp images to articles in the past. However, I had a discussion with another user over this, which led me to read the guideline in detail. Many of the stamps are used in article as yet another image to illustrate the subject. Just adding a caption like "Postage stamp of <insert country name> to commemorate <insert person name>" isn't an argument for fair use of the stamp image. Unless the text has specific, non-trivial mention of the stamp, it should not be used. "Fair use" is a very vague criteria, and it is better not to walk the thin red line ... if we are to keep wikipedia as free as we want it to be. Thanks. --] 22:38, 5 August 2006 (UTC)

::This ] survived the deletion. Now I know why. Ragib, Thanks for the explanation. - <font color="navy">] (])</font> 22:45, 5 August 2006 (UTC)

:::Not sure why ] had a problem. It had a fairuse rationale and was illustrating the person in question. Ragib, can you please advise? - <font color="navy">] (])</font> 23:05, 5 August 2006 (UTC)

::::As I said above, stamps are allowed *only to illustrate the stamp, not the subject*. So, stamps are perfectly ok in philatellic articles. However, when it comes to biography pages of the subject, claiming it is fair use to have the stamp is questionable. I looked into the article, the stamp is not at all the focus of the article. So, the stamp you mentioned would have been ok in something like "Indian postage stamps on freedom fighters", but can't be used just by saying "India issued a stamp on him <stamp image>" in the article text. It is sort of like the Time magazine covers issue. It is better to have the article free under GFDL rather than have a "fair use" image, where the usage may become questionable. Thanks. --] 23:53, 5 August 2006 (UTC)
:: Thanks for the explanation. I think I got the point now. I will make it a point to add fair-use image only if there is a real need for it. You can go ahead and delete the image. Cheers. - ] (] - ]) 05:09, 6 August 2006 (UTC)

== RE : population of muslims in india ==

At least, the population figure for East Pakistan (1971) stated above is *wrong*. The population of independent Bangladesh, according to the 1974 census, was 71.3 million . Even considering the large number of Bengalis (between 1-1.5 million) (both Hindu and Muslims) killed by Pakistan Army in Bangladesh Liberation War of 1971, the number was never above 75 million at that time. The population of west pakistan was lower than this, as Bengalis were 56% of the population of united pakistan. --Ragib 20:47, 10 August 2006 (UTC)

On my part i found the information from some old arcives from the liaquat national library here in karachi and the arcives were official pakistani documents of the time.

never the less according to cia world fact book the bangladeshi population is 147,365,352 (July 2006 est.) and the pakistani population is 165,803,560 (July 2006 est.) so how do we explain this {{unsigned|Madman 0014}}

Well, the 1974 census IS an official, scientific document, and definitely that contradicts whatever stats you have. As for the current estimate, are you asking me why Pakistani population is larger than that of Bangladesh? Perhaps population control and family planning activities are not as successful in Pakistan as they are in Bangladesh? The population growth rate figures suggest just that. Thanks. --] 08:15, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

what iam saying is that due to differnt political resons the population is shown more or less wether it be pakistan,bangladesh or india my real question was on the muslim population of india? --]

==Renaissance==
Just like the renaissance in europe was from the 1300-1500's the Bengali renaissance (At least in my view) was at least from Ram Mohan Roy times (Early 1800's) to Independence (1947) when Bengal was split in two. The period, (at least to my understanding) was a time for the intellectual flowering of Bengali people, and I'm certain Kazi Nasrul was a major contributor to bengali literature. As for SC Chattopadhyay, he was in the same time period with Tagore, and since Tagore was an undisputed force in the renaissance, I added SC by association.] <font color = "blue"><sub>]</sub></font> 23:50, 17 August 2006 (UTC)

Hi Ragib,

Pinaki here. I introduce myself as a multilingual author, writing both in Bengali and English.

I am also noted in Kolkata as being the first person in India to launch Bengali language greeting cards (brand Swapner Karkhana created by me.

My site is www.pinaki.bravehost.com

It seems you have read books of my father, Prabir Ghosh; the rationalist. I am presently writing ebooks, webcontent etc in English, for clients from US, UK and Germany. Why I am writing al these is that I saw your note about my father and became interested about you and studied your achievements. They are fantastic!!!

Hey Ragib! Remember, its me Dhakaiya, the person who gave you the well deserved barnstar for contributing to Bangladesh related articles in Misplaced Pages. Could you PLEEEEEEASE organize the photos in Photo Gallery Section of Dhaka? By the way, there isn't an artilce on Bangladesh Police. You lay the foundation for the articles and I shall provide 1 or two pictures. At the moment I am trying to improve Dhakas image and Bangladesh Military related articles. Already uploaded a photo in ] page.

==Maurya Empire==
Hello Ragib,

There is an edit war brewing on the Maurya Empire page. Specifically, a user insists on citing a discredited source in order to develop his theory that the Bindusara and Ashoka had greek blood in them--which even he admits is baseless or far-fetched in the least. Moreover, this base is then used on that user's much contributed Indo-Greek page to establish that the indo-greeks invaded india for noble reasons such as to protect buddhism and to lay dynastic claim to the mauryan empire--also discredited.

I tried to discuss with that author on the talk page and history as to why it's discredited. Accordingly, I even noted that these assertions are not rooted in fact, and the user still attempted to justify them. Moreover, even though this is a case of sneaky vandalism, and theh 3RR rule does not apply, I desisted from deleting in order to avoid an edit war. Content is being disputed here.

Nevertheless, that user sent a thug named Aldux to use charged language to intimidate me. This Aldux has been guilty in the past of being uncivil almost to the point of violating Misplaced Pages community behavior. In any event, I figured it would be best to appeal to a moderator to resolve the dispute appropriately. My concern is that just like the british colonial historians harmed South Asian history by crediting every ancient accomplishment to the greeks and others, this user is using british colonial historians (who insist that Alexander conquered to unify mankind and who used opinion and not fact as demonstrated in the citation) to appropriate the mauryan legacy for his own purposes. My only concern is the veracity of history and not to drive opinion for a political purpose. Said user is using opinion to construct a theory with a political purpose, claiming that an extremist opinion is mainstream. I only seek the truth. We require your assistance on the page.

Regards,

Devanampriya

:Hmmm... Devanampriya, never heard of ] and ]? I'm not sure calling me "thug" respects these policies... And BTW, if I'm such a source of concern for the community, why did it nominate me admin just last July, with hardly any opposition? And a last thing; PHG didn't call me, simply his user page is on my watchlist. (Sorry for awnsering here, Ragib)--] 20:23, 3 September 2006 (UTC)


:(Sorry for responding here, Ragib)

:Well, Aldux, perhaps you should also reread those yourself since you haven't really been behaving in accordance with those rules. Your usage of charged language i.e. "you will pay the consequences...!". and attempts at intimidation have been noted by myself and other contributors. As for why the community nominated you as an admin, perhaps a referral of your recent behavior and language might be of interest to them And lastly, PHG's request for help is on your discussion page, so please don't be dishonest. I believe wikipedia would have some rules on lying too.

I suppose an Indian knows better which websites are more reliable. Did you even care to read the nespaper articles? And in future, NAME the article you are referring to. ] ] 07:58, 12 September 2006 (UTC)

"See previous comment for the related diff"? Sorry, didn't get you. I'm not that smart. ] ] 08:39, 12 September 2006 (UTC)
::3R? I suppose I didn't revert. I removed the words what you may call "inflammatory" and improved the article rather than reverting it. Oh yes, thanks for the warning but please make sure if it was a revert. ] ] 08:47, 12 September 2006 (UTC)

Ragib, I have no intention to put baseless information in an encyclopedia but I had read in the ] that mosquitoes had been found in the Lutyens' bungalow of Vadra. I searched for the string '''robert vadra mosquito''' and could only find a link that proves that he lives in a VIP area of Delhi. I think it is very cruel or prejudiced of you to accuse me of putting libel. ] ] 09:08, 12 September 2006 (UTC)
::I have explained my position and you too know that the sentence has been removed. Did I not tell you that I HAVE READ in the TOI but don't have a copy of the newspaper. I wouldn't have been trying to convince you had I had the link. ] ] 09:13, 12 September 2006 (UTC)

the same user created page again. Shall i warn him for that? Please delete this page, ''again''. Thanks.]] 20:17, 12 September 2006 (UTC)

:Don't let the accusations stick to you. Ever seen a lotas leaf? It's like teflon ... not a drop of water sticks to it. I've been called Pro-Indian/Anti-Indian, Pro-Pakistani/Anti-Pakistani, Anti-Arakani/Rohingya, etc. etc. (at one time you found me "in cahoots" with HW, right?, he also ''found'' similar things about me :) ). Just let those tags slide off you. Also, a look at nice guide will help calm you down.

:Incidentally, I'm doing some research on human interactions in Misplaced Pages ... the conflicts and resolutions would definitely make an interesting part of that. :) --] 04:49, 14 September 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for the advice. I am really surprised at your alertness. I have transferred material from ] to ]. Nothing would be lost in deletion. -- ] 03:55, 13 September 2006 (UTC)

:Thanks, I made the former a redirect to the latter. --] 04:44, 14 September 2006 (UTC)

== Meningless references ==

The citation has nothing to do with Students Islamic Organization of INDIA. Maybe you dont know how and when to use references. If you do, perhaps you could tell me what Students Islamic Organization of INDIA has to do with "The Muslim World After 9/11. By Angel M Rabasa, Cheryl Benard, Peter Chalk, C Christine Fair, Theodore Karasik, Rollie Lal, Ian Lasser, Ian O Lesser, David E Thaler, Rand Corporation, ISBN 0833037129. Published January 2005." While you are at it, could you also tell me why a BANGLADESHI like you should be interested in Students Islamic Organization of INDIA? Thanks. -Dining Philosopher

Sorry I posted the above message at the top of the page by mistake. Kindly get rid of it. {{unsigned|Dining philosopher}}

Censorship of criticism!!!! As Expected. {{unsigned|Dining philosopher}}

:Sorry to see you blocked for your incivil behavior. When you emerge from your block, please feel free to ask me for any help regarding how to edit productively, and avoid conflicts with other users. Thanks. --] 04:44, 14 September 2006 (UTC)

== How did you know that I'm in distress? ==

Ragib, was it not YOU who got me banned by that 3R rule? The rule is used to dissuade users from edit warring. I suppose you did not read the rule properly. The use of the clause "potentially libelous and unreferenced material" in your complaint was WRONG. The law says that if a user breaks the 3RR for removing such material then it does not apply to him. Furthermore, if my edits were unlawful, then why no revert had been made at the time of my ban?

Any way, how did you know that I needed help this time? ] ] 08:33, 14 September 2006 (UTC)
::Ha ha, did I claim that I was REMOVING it? NO! My point is that your adding that clause was irrelevant. I know that 3RR DID apply to me but my additions to that page were NOT unreferenced at the end. 3RR did NOT serve its real purpose. It was imposed on me only for the law's sake. I'm not a vandal and do not add rubbish to any article. And by the by, why would you watch the talkpage of a peanut like me? ] ] 08:41, 14 September 2006 (UTC)

Is it not true that you got me banned ONLY because you were offended by my language? Did you ever bother to check who has improved that ] article? My edits were in compliance with ] and ]. ] ] 08:51, 14 September 2006 (UTC)

::I thought that the SNOW law is state that the ] so rules that are counterproductive in a case may be overruled but the ] tells me that I misinterpreted. ] ] 09:11, 14 September 2006 (UTC)

== No copyvio! ==

What exactly do you do on the Misplaced Pages? All you did today is ? And who told you that the article is copyrighted and cannot be produced elsewhere? Please do not dissuade other users if you yourself cannot contribute a word to this encyclopedia. Why have you targeted me? ] ] 20:34, 14 September 2006 (UTC)
