Bad English Edit

"Bangladesh also a part of the next eleven economies. " sounds like (Personal attack removed). add the is 47.149.237.223 (talk) 14:16, 12 May 2023 (UTC)

Watch the personal attacks, IP, that language is not welcome here. I'll review the section, I don't think adding "is" is all that's required here. Ivanvector (/Edits) 14:18, 12 May 2023 (UTC)

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 Misplaced Pages, 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 Misplaced Pages 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
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)
