Changing the meaning of Bangladesh

Over the years, It's been written in the article that Bangladesh literally means "The country of Bengal". I don't disagree, but i think it's inappropriate. It doesn't make a good sense. However, i propose more meaningful and appropriate translation of Bangladesh would be "The land of Bengalis". Desh not only means country but also land.

There are countries with the name Desh, Land and Stan at the end. All have the similar meaning and a synonym to country. If we see the other country's meaning, we can find that

We can see these countries name refers the land of its people. Historically, This region was called Bongodesh or Bangladesh (Bengal in English) and it refers to the land where the Bengalis live i.e. the land of the Bengalis. In Bangladesh, 98% of its population is Bengali.

Please comment your opinion and suggestion. Pinging NahidSultan, Nhasive, Worldbruce, Nafsadh, Ibrahim Husain Meraj

I think this would be a moot point discussion. If you go through Etymology section and Names of Bengal, it is obvious that Bangladesh literally means "Land of Bengal" or "Country of Bengal". In, lede, we've "The country of Bengal". This makes more sense and is technically more correct. Modern day definition obviously means Country of Bengal. Historically the word often used as exact synonym of Bengal, and meant Land of Bengal. Modern use of Bangladesh has a more clear geopolitical definition, which differs from Bengal. Land of Bengal encompasses modern day Bangladesh, West Bengal, and parts of various eastern states of India. Land of Bengal may sound better, but semantically, Country of Bengal is more accurate.
On the second note, Bangladesh never meant and doesn't mean Land of Bengalis. The name is not about the people. Bengal is the original word, and Bengalis is the derivative; i.e., the name of country came first, and the ethno-linguistic group is named after the land, not the other way around. This is unlike the examples you've given. --nafSadh did say 08:34, 18 June 2017 (UTC)

In the section headed "7.3 Women in Bangladesh" it says "Bangladeshi female workforce participation is among the highest in the Muslim world, at 59%" quoting a World Bank document. This document does not support the statement. In fact, it is stated in the WB document on page 55: "Women’s work participation rates have doubled in Bangladesh since 1995 but they are still extremely low at 26 percent". The mentioned 59% may have been an oversight, as this figure is correct for the sector Agriculture/Fisheries Wjahn (talk) 13:01, 8 August 2017 (UTC)

Edit war between Manipulateus and Vivaan65

Vivaan65 has notified me of the edit war with Manipulateus. From user contribs it appears both of them are relatively new to Wikipedia English (less than 100 edits and first edit being in this year). While looking at edit logs, it appears both of them yelling at each other and accusing one another of vandalism. In my opinion both of their edits are constructive, while both of them showing bit of knack towards POV pushing. I have made an edit to restore what I think would be more balanced version of this article. @Vivaan65: and @Manipulateus:, please work together to improve the article and avoid edit warring. Both of you have violated WP:3RR already. So, for any further disagreements, please take a moment to talk here before redoing and reverting edits. --nafSadh did say 14:18, 6 April 2018 (UTC)

Is there any rule in Wikipedia that allows fair representation of editors from varying POV? For example if I feel most editors in Bangladesh article support Bengali nationalism and pro India POV that minimize the difference between Bangladesh and West Bengal instead of Bangladesh's own nationalism that is inclusive of non Bengalis such as Sylhetis, Chittagonians and other Bengali-Assamese Muslims and I cannot reach a concensus with them even after citing sources (see also my talk page for my arguments) but know the article is not neutral (an undue weight given to Bengalis and the insignificance afforded to other ethnicities in the top section; check my edits in the history logs), what should I do? I am talking about the representation in terms of content not background or intention of editors (that would be discrimination and also because I am aware that it would not make any sense because content does not always correlate with background or intention for example even a Pakistani editor could promote pro India content or an Indian editor could promote pro India content while making it appear that he is a Pakistani pretending to be Indian to put the blame on Indian editors).--Manipulateus (talk) 16:48, 10 April 2018 (UTC)

Bangabandhu-1 Satellite 

Country's first communications satellite Bangabandhu-1 to its orbit on May 10 US local time or May 11 Bangladesh standard time. The country's first geostationary communications satellite would be launched by Falcon 9 rocket, which has also been found okay to carry the satellite from Cape Canaveral launching pad of Florida, USA.Earlier on May 4, a Falcon 9 rocket was test-fired and after analysing the data collected from the test the final date has been fixed, said satellite project related officials.

After getting the fresh date from SpaceX, a high-powered government delegation flew for Florida yesterday evening to be a part of the launching programme. The 3.7-tonne satellite, built by Thales Alenia Space, a France-based satellite company, was supposed to be launched in December. But the date has been deferred several times due to inclement weather and technical reasons.

Bangladesh is going to be the 57th country in space once Bangabandhu-1 is launched.

In November 2015, the BTRC signed a $248-million deal with Thales to manufacture and launch the satellite. Earlier in January the same year, BTRC bought a slot from Russian satellite company 'Intersputnik' for $28 million to launch the country's first satellite.

12% of the world's GDP

The source for this claim is an op-ed in the Daily Star [1] which in turn doesn't cite any sources:


Now the 25% value is probably taken from Angus Madison's estimates for the whole India (List_of_regions_by_past_GDP_(PPP)#Indian_empires). Even if we assume that Mughal Empire is equivalent to India (which wasn't the case) and take the 50% claim at face value, this refers to the whole State of Bengal of which a sizeable portion is not in modern-day Bangladesh.

The 50% claim itself requires reliable scholarly sources as it's quite extraordinary (but might well be true). --Alaexis¿question? 08:17, 19 June 2019 (UTC)

Concepts such as GPD are not applicable to economies of pre-industrial age, the quoted books do not have this claim but are only based on conjectures of no historical validity. Most of the global economy was subsistence and not based on the free market. There were no statistical bodies. The quality of food could be better in an African village than in a suburb of industrialized London in the XIX century but this has nothing to do with the market economy which is measured with gdp. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Andriolo (talk • contribs) 13:14, 7 July 2019 (UTC)


By 1700, the Mughal economy surpassed Qing China and Europe to become the world's largest and at the time Bengal accounted for 12% of the world's GDP, which was larger than the share held by western Europe.

Annual Bengali shipbuilding output was 223,250 tons, compared to an output of 23,061 tons in the nineteen colonies of North America. Bengali shipbuilding proved to be advanced than European shipbuilding prior to the Industrial Revolution. ...[58][22][59][60][61][62]

The first sentence is not reflected in the cited bibliography. Wikipedia:No original research. The second sentence like the first is also based on conjectures of no historical value. I believe these statements of comparative history are not useful to the wiki item.

Area of Bangladesh?

I found myself wondering if the independence of Bangladesh from Pakistan resulted in any loss of territory due to what might be described as unsettled conditions. A quick comparison of the East Pakistan page (147,610 sq km) with this page (147,570 sq km) showed a difference of 40 sq km seemingly lost by Bangladesh. Perhaps my skimming of this lengthy article failed to pick up any mention of this loss of territory. While 40 sq km is a fairly inconsequential amount of land, less than half a township in American Midwest of my youth, I would think that such a comprehensive article as this would mention it.

Interestingly, a quick business of summing the areas of the administrative districts from the table included in the article gave a total of 147,627 sq km. Seemingly, this is a nation where the whole is less than the sum of its parts!

So, what is area of Bangladesh? Was territory lost from the time it was East Pakistan? Was territory somehow magically added? Providing varying numbers for what should be constant number calls into question all of the numbers.

- sj Slickjack (talk) 02:45, 26 January 2020 (UTC)

According to the last census the total surface area of Bangladesh is 147,570 sq km - and this is the current official estimate. Thanks for pointing out the inconsistency with the divisional table within the same article. This will be fixed shortly. In earlier decades the estimate of the surface area used to be a bit higher - which is reflected in the East Pakistan Article. There is no political reason for such difference - the legacy East Pakistan and current Bangladesh are supposed to be the same geographic entity. Post independence, there has been exchanges of a few "enclaves" between India and Bangladesh, but the impact of these exchanges is miniscule. The 0.03% difference in land area estimates should be attributed to the subjectivity inherent in the process of defining how surface area should be calculated near coastal lines and the natural phenomenon of rivers gradually changing course and movement of coastal lines.

IPA Pronunciation of "Bangladesh"

Hi, I had earlier today done an edit on this article to remove the English IPA for the pronunciation of Bangladesh and replace it with the Bengali IPA on the basis that the English IPA in my opinion does not match with the audio sample. However, my edit later on got reverted by Liberty Pedia on the basis that the English IPA does match with the audio sample and that the Bengali IPA was poorly written with no syllables, now I can understand the point on syllables but I disagree with Liberty's statement in his/her edit summary that the English IPA matches because even though the English IPA is similar to a degree, the vowels in the Bengali pronunciation are different - with a (phonetically ɐ) being used in Bengali instead of ɑ which is not present in the language, e is different to ɛ and d is pronounced as a dental stop (d̪) in Bengali instead of the usual alveolar stop (d) you get in English, so for these reasons I don't think it matches with the audio sample (which very clearly follows the Bengali phonology rather than English, I know because despite growing up in England, I speak Bengali as a second language) even though it is similar.

And I think the respelling of English here creates more clutter than the IPA which was why I removed that too (especially since the English spelling of Bangladesh itself is a romanisation of the Bengali spelling and in my opinion doesn't need any further respelling) and regarding the syllable matter, wouldn't it be better to introduce those syllables in the Bengali IPA rather than remove it completely? Most countries in Wikipedia have their native phonology with the designated native language IPA (e.g. Afghanistan, France, Germany, Serbia etc.) rather than just an English IPA so I see no reason to remove an IPA just because its seems poorly written, in fact, wouldn't it be better to improve that IPA rather than taking it off completely when it has been in this article for years? I'd be grateful if either Liberty Pedia or any other editor can reply to this, until then, I won't make any more edits on this matter here because I'd preferably want to resolve this through a discussion rather than edit war over this matter. Many thanks. Broman178 (talk) 20:09, 15 March 2020 (UTC)

If however, there is no response to this query within a week, I won't hesitate to take action on this matter myself (which could involve reverting Liberty Pedia's edit). Broman178 (talk) 03:37, 18 March 2020 (UTC)

Alright, starting with Criteria.

Well-written

  • The prose is clear and uses terms that are common for a broad audience.
  • The "design" is perfect. And didn't detected something unneutral.

Now with the mistakes.

Others

  • It is stable as it was modified last 5 days despite the ongoing talk on the talk page.
  • I didn't detected hateful or praise words, so it is neutral.
  • The page is illustrated with elements required such as the flag and coats of arm and many geographic elements.

Verifiability

  • It contains a list of references.
  • In terms of land mass, Bangladesh ranks 92nd, spanning 147,570 square kilometres (56,980 sq mi), making it one of the most densely-populated countries in the world., where is the reference of this claim?
For this claim the reference is in the main body (Demography section). The introduction section may skip references if the claim is discussed in detail in the body with proper references. This norm is followed in FA class articles as well. Arman (Talk) 14:25, 15 April 2020 (UTC)

I can confirm for [3] that it says Ethnicity Distribution for Bangladesh is Bengali: 98%, Small ethnic groups: 2%; where it says:
"জাতিগোষ্ঠী: বাঙালি : ৯৮% ক্ষুদ্র নৃ গোষ্ঠী : ২%"

  • However, the first partition of Bengal created an uproar in Calcutta and the Indian National Congress. In response to growing Hindu nationalism, the All India Muslim League was formed in Dhaka during the 1906 All India Muhammadan Educational Conference. The British government reorganised the provinces in 1912, reuniting East and West Bengal and making Assam a second province...The Raj was slow to allow self-rule in the colonial subcontinent. It established the Bengal Legislative Council in 1862, and the council's native Bengali representation increased during the early 20th century. The Bengal Provincial Muslim League was formed in 1913 to advocate civil rights for Bengali Muslims within a constitutional framework. During the 1920s, the league was divided into factions supporting the Khilafat movement and favouring co-operation with the British to achieve self-rule. R e f e r e n c e s .
  • In 1929, the All Bengal Tenants Association was formed in the Bengal Legislative Council to counter the influence of the Hindu landed gentry, and the Indian Independence and Pakistan Movements strengthened during the early 20th century. After the Morley-Minto Reforms and the diarchy era in the legislatures of British India, the British government promised limited provincial autonomy in 1935. The Bengal Legislative Assembly, British India's largest legislature, was established in 1937. R E F E R E N C E S.
  • Although it won a majority of seats in 1937, the Bengal Congress boycotted the legislature. A. K. Fazlul Huq of the Krishak Praja Party was elected as the first Prime Minister of Bengal. In 1940 Huq supported the Lahore Resolution, which envisaged independent states in the northwestern and eastern Muslim-majority regions of the subcontinent. The first Huq ministry, a coalition with the Bengal Provincial Muslim League, lasted until 1941; it was followed by a Huq coalition with the Hindu Mahasabha which lasted until 1943., again we need references.
  • Huq was succeeded by Khawaja Nazimuddin, who grappled with the effects of the Burma Campaign, the Bengal famine of 1943, which killed up to 3 million people, [94] only says that the famine caused 3 million deaths. Nothing about Khawaja or the Burma Campaign.
  • In 1946, the Bengal Provincial Muslim League won the provincial election, taking 113 of the 250-seat assembly (the largest Muslim League mandate in British India). H. S. Suhrawardy, who made a final futile effort for a United Bengal in 1946, was the last premier of Bengal., reference required here.
Partition of Bengal
  • On 20 June, the Bengal Legislative Assembly met to decide on the partition of Bengal., reference here.
  • At the preliminary joint meeting, it was decided (120 votes to 90) that if the province remained united it should join the Constituent Assembly of Pakistan. reference here.
  • At a separate meeting of legislators from West Bengal, it was decided (58 votes to 21) that the province should be partitioned and West Bengal should join the Constituent Assembly of India. reference here...
  • On 6 July, the Sylhet region of Assam voted in a referendum to join East Bengal. Cyril Radcliffe was tasked with drawing the borders of Pakistan and India, and the Radcliffe Line established the borders of present-day Bangladesh., add a reference here.

flag

The flag of Bangladesh is a piece of rectangular green cloth with a red circle at the centre. The ratio of the lenght and breadth of it is 10:6 or 5:3. The radius of the flag is one -fifth of it's length. It is usually made of cotton cloth, linen, silk and other fabrics. The green colour of the flag symbolizes the everlasting freshness of the youth and vitality of our nation. The red circle symbolizes the rising sun indicating our prosperity and bright future. Late artist Kamrul Hasan is the designer of our national flag. It was first raised on the premises of the University of Dhaka on the 2nd March, 1971. That's why, it is called the Flag Day. It is hoisted everywhere on the Indepedence Day (26th March) and the Victory Day (16th December). The freedom fighters achieved the flag instead of their blood and lives.

21st february

21st February is the International Language Day .It is a memorable day for Bengalis. Bengalis sacrificed their lives for the mother tounge. The story behind it was started in 1937. When East Asia was under British rule, it was pretty sure that Asia will not be under british rule anymore. It was partly decided in 1947 that a state will born named Pakistan. Then the arrgument began, what will be the state language of Pakistan? On 17 May, 1947 Chowdhury Khalikujjaman and in July Dr. Jiyauddin Ahmad proposed to make Urdu the state language of the would be Pakistan. Dr.Muhammad Sahidullah and Dr. Muhammad Enamul Haq went against them.

Then the East Asia was seperated into two states, India and Pakistan. East pakistan (Bangladesh) was with Pakistan because of the common religion. It was not declared but everyone was sure that Urdu would be the state language of Pakistan.On 2nd September,1947 a cultural institution called Tamuddun Majlish was stablished. This year " Rashtro Bhasha Parishad " was made. The Pakistan Government issued section 144. On 25th February, 1948 Dhirendronath Datt proposed to make Bengali the state language as well with English and Urdu. But they denied so, a strike held in Dhaka on 26th and 29th February. Because of those strikes, slogans, piketing 69 leaders of East Pakistan was arrested. On 15th March, Khaja Najimuddin signed the contract of 8 points. On 21st March, General Muhammad Ali Jinnah declared that, "Urdu and Urdu will be the only state language of Pakistan." The students became protestant. As a reasult, the Pakistan Government permitted to promote Bengali but in Arabic letters. But the students became anger and defendent. On 26th January, 1952 Khaja Najimuddin declared Urdu being the state language of Pakistan. Against that declaration of Jinnah, a strike held on 30th January all over the East Pakistan. Again a protestful movement started and the political groups joind them. Again on 4th February in Dhakia the students showed their scattered. On 21st February a strike happened all over the East Pakistan and it was decided to celebrate 21st February as the State Language Day. They vowed to contine the protest till Bengali became the state language of Pakistan. Shekh Mujibur Rahman and Mahiuddin Ahmad was Sent to the Faridpur prioson because they were being the commender of the movement. That time public meetings, gatherings were restricted.But they decided to not maintain that section 144.On 21st February a meeting took place in the mango garden. they made decition to do procession with 10 people and so it happened.Firstly the police started arresting people, stick charge and then throwed gas. Atlast they started shooting. Abul Barkat, Jabbar, Rafiq, Salam and some more unknown people were killed. aA few people were harmed also. The news spreaded so fast. A huge mourning rally occurred in Dhaka. This rally was also attackted by police and a boy named Shafiur Rahman was died. To made the sacrifice unforgotable people made a SAHID MINER beside the medical college where they were shooted.But the SAHID MINAR was distroyed by thge police on 24h February. Then "KADTE ASHINI FASHIE DABI NIYE ESHECHI ", "SRITIR MINER"," "AMAR BHAIYER ROKTE RANGANO EKUSHE FEBRUARY"," ORA AMR MUKHER BHASHA KAIRA NITE CHAY ','TORA DHAKA SHOHOR ROKTE BHASAILI "," KOBOR","AREK FAGUN", etc writings were written.The Language Movement of 1952 ws not enough to make Bengalies right sure, after some more steps in 1956 the Pakistan Government mentioned Bengali as one of the state language in the constitution of Pakistan. In 1999 UNESCO declared 21st February as the international Language day. And it is also celebrated as SAHID DIBOSH in Bangladesh.On that day every political groups and people went to the SAHID MINER by bare foots with flowers to show respect to the language martayrs.

Subsection for climate change

As we're trying to figure out how much information is appropriate about climate change in different country articles, I think this is an example of the minority of articles where subsection is appropriate for two reasons.

  • The effects of climate change are nonclimatic effects: rising seas are a consequence of climate change, but are not climate itself. The reason Bangladesh is mentioned so much in the climate change literature is also non-climatic: it is extremely vulnerable to its poverty levels of agriculture.
  • Climate change has a massive effect on Bangladesh, meaning that two substantial paragraphs is the minimum to discuss this.

We should not surprise our readers, I think we do by putting all these effects under a heading which is off topic. Femke Nijsse (talk) 09:57, 30 November 2020 (UTC)

Moxy? Femke Nijsse (talk) 19:49, 2 December 2020 (UTC)
I would say no every time as climate change is a sub topic of a sub topic of a sub topic and does not tell anyone about the country per say or its people (Country articles rarely predict the future[speculation?]). Basically your asking to have the same weight as "Presidential era and coups " and I dont think it should. But will put it too 4th level for now and see if others think differently (as in those that actually edit this article and plan too in the future) ...lets see what they say. That said we have to fix the transclution...get it out of here and add real text here....as I am worried someone will come by and remove it as this article has \had a TRANS removed before for the Art section. On a side note I will be moving most of the "Human rights" stuff to the main page no need for history lesson in this one section.--Moxy 🍁 00:17, 3 December 2020 (UTC)
Thanks for your response. As I argued above, it is inappropriate here to consider climate change a sub-topic of climate. I think it is appropriate to have it at the same level as those subsections of the economy (which is a more useful comparison imo). That call may be professional brain damage, hence I appreciate your input. I don't know much about other envirnomental issues in Bangladesh, but if there significant at a similar level to climate change (which I doubt, otherwise I would have heard about them?), those could be bundled in a level three heading?
There is global consensus that well-documented projected in peer-reviewed literature are not speculation: Predictions, speculation, forecasts and theories stated by reliable, expert sources or recognized entities in a field may be included, though editors should be aware of creating undue bias to any specific point-of-view, from WP:FUTURE. We've had many discussions about that when climate change was still mostly something of the future and climate denial was rampant on Wikipedia. I'll move the text over this weekend (removing excerpt), ensuring that the citations are of appropriately high quality for an article like this. The sentence before SLR should be cited to a modern source, and probably be mostly in the present tense. Femke Nijsse (talk) 08:47, 3 December 2020 (UTC)
  • Disagree completely. The transclusion is a terrible idea on any article, especially a high level country article. It means that information could be changed without triggering a watchlist and makes an extra impediment to editing. There is no need for a level 4 sub level for climate change, let alone a level 3 heading. Most readers would expect to find information on climate change under climate. It is an overview article and if it needs expansion it needs to be done at the daughter article, not here. Restoring per BRD. AIRcorn (talk) 11:32, 3 December 2020 (UTC)
Seems to some people should really stop about their speculations, advocacy and private crusades, that always can made on some kind of a personal blogs and websites. About climate charge it is one part of a climate as that climate is changing and that is it. So no need for special subsections or so. 178.221.117.141 (talk) 03:01, 5 December 2020 (UTC)
  • I wanted to come here with a comment similar to Femkemilene's -- for Bangladesh -- Climate change is expected to displace most of the population, and is radically changing the entire country's relationship to land, cities and other issues-- this should be at least a level 3 heading, if not a level two -- its the defining environmental issue for the country, not some subset of "climate" or geography -- there is already dramatic population displacement, and its going to be significantly worse in the coming years. Sadads (talk) 11:57, 3 December 2020 (UTC)
As mentioned many times predicting the future in these historical articles does not fit.--Moxy 🍁 15:15, 3 December 2020 (UTC)

Hmm, why not? Of course, we shouldn't do speculation, but here we're talking current developments. The energy/infrastructure sections typically also mention developments, not only historical energy provisions. Femke Nijsse (talk) 15:27, 3 December 2020 (UTC)

Because it is an overview article. We already have bloat issues with country articles. If you want to expand on this start with Climate of Bangladesh (currently a redirect). Also there is a complete misunderstanding of how we use headers. We don't make something a level two or three header if it is a subsection of a header that already exists in the article. AIRcorn (talk) 23:32, 3 December 2020 (UTC)
  • Okay did some digging and see you and Sadads have been adding these subsections to multiple articles. I see no consensus for this and a a lot of complaints by established country editors (particularly Chipmunk). Please stop this until a consensus is reached regarding country articles and climate change. I agree with what Moxy has said at Talk:Australia here. The excerpt template is a terrible terrible template to use in general and doubly so in these cases. Please do not use that and I can't think of any country that needs a sub section. If you and other editors are looking to increase coverage of climate change in countries start with that particular countries dedicated climate article. AIRcorn (talk) 23:42, 3 December 2020 (UTC)
    I agree excerpts are a bad idea, and I agree that country articles are typically bloated. What I'm trying to do here is have a discussion on a variety of articles (three) to see how much space this requires for the basis of an advice page the wikiproject. I fear my fellow editors on this topic are overly enthusiastic. Bangladesh is an extreme case, where climate change is having a defining impact on the country. Hence, a good showcase as "Never add any more information than this". India is more typical case, Australia somewhere in between.
    So far the discussion has been quite fruitful, despite friction, with multiple good suggestions from outside editors: in most articles, a subheading is inappropriate, climate change is only partially a subtopic of climate, so spread the info to appropriate sections (climate, biodiversity, energy/economy, politics, all only if super-relevant for that country). If there are other environmental issues that are super-prominent, consider bundling it under a subsection "environment/environmental issues".f
    If the outcome of this discussion is that one paragraph suffices, that's acceptable, and I'll include that in a guide to be written as the typical maximum. It's not super easy to discuss when we've done such a poor job at showing what that text should be (using excerpts).
    I think we got of the wrong foot because of the use of excerpts, which is now clouding this discussion. (I could have caught that if I'd paid better attention to the WikiProject, sorry!) While for GA/FA and for less experienced editors 'practicing' on the subarticles is a good idea, in general I believe editors shouldn't spend too much time on less relevant pages. Femke Nijsse (talk) 08:06, 4 December 2020 (UTC)
    Okay. Sorry for my grumpy response. I saw the Australian comments, Wikipedia:Meetup/Online edit-a-thon on climate change - November 2020 and then randomly checked Algeria and thought it was more widespread than maybe it is. I have a natural aversion to wikiprojects dictating article content like this, especially at such broad articles covered by multiple projects with sometimes conflicting aims, but am probably in the minority here (and it is a rant not worth starting). Take into account Moxy and CMD's comments. CMD in particular is our resident country editor. I am more interested in the Good Article process (I have this on my watchlist as I failed it a little while ago[3]). I think the major issue here is due weight relative to the other information we could or should present. Many country articles will only require a sentence or two, some might not even need a mention at all. Maybe some of the low lying island you could justify a paragraph or in some rare cases a sub-sub-sub section. This will always be a case-by-case situation. I do disagree with the less relevant pages comment though. I think we should stick to summary style as much as possible (in fact this article should be pure summary style) and the daughter articles are where the more developed information should go. AIRcorn (talk) 23:32, 6 December 2020 (UTC)
    No worries, I think this pandemic is making most of us a bit grumpy. When I talked about less releavnt pages, I didn't mean ditch summary style. Summary style is the best thing Wikipedia has. What I meant is that I prefer editors (me..) add 1 sentence in a country article to four paragraphs in a 'climate in X' article if the latter doesn't get read.
    These discussions are indeed very case-by-case. I recognize my biases here as well. With low-lying islands that are thinking about 'abandoning ship', SLR is the most important climate change aspect, and ãs that is not part of climate, so it should be mentioned elsewhere in the article. Femke Nijsse (talk) 10:48, 7 December 2020 (UTC)
Come at this with lightweight is your best bet Wikipedia:Main article fixation.--Moxy 🍁 15:09, 4 December 2020 (UTC)
Moxy said: "Country articles rarely predict the future" and "As mentioned many times predicting the future in these historical articles does not fit.". I disagree with you. Climate change is no longer "the future". It is here and now and it is here to stay. A country like Bangladesh is already NOW deeply affected, and all countries are contributing to climate change NOW due to their current and past CO2 emissions. Who says that these are "historical articles"? For me they are articles where people go when they want to learn more about a country - past and present. They want to know about the history of the country but also what is happening there right now, whether the country is a good holiday destination whether one would want to migrate there, whether there is migration from there etc.". I really don't understand why you would weigh "history" above other aspects.EMsmile (talk) 03:41, 8 December 2020 (UTC)

I agree with EMsmile. Every country article must have a subsection "environmental issues" visible in the table of content, with a redirection to main article about the environment issues in this country above. This is because environmental issues affect every country now more than econoical or political now. 7-8 millions people die each year from air polution, the corona pandemic is a result of nature destruction.

In my opinion better about environment and not climate change because in other case I afraid that paople will forget about the link with issues like deforestation and air pollution. In this subsection we should write 10-15 lines including, of course, about climate change. The main article about environmental issues should have a subsection about climate change with a redirection to a page specifically about climate change in this country.

Best bring this up page by page as what your suggesting is the opposite of the outcome of every talk has been thus far.--Moxy 🍁 00:38, 2 January 2021 (UTC)
Hi User:Moxy I don't think there has been an "outcome" or consensus of any kind for the other country articles yet. Please point me to where a consensus has been achieved? I felt that in each case a few of use suggested one thing but were usually overruled and steam rolled by others who wanted to keep the status quo (i.e. no or absolute minimal mentioning of climate change on country articles). In the case of Bangladesh, the discussion got stuck and not completed. For example, you had not replied further to my comment above on 8 December. I am getting so fed up with discussing it again and again on each country page. It makes more sense to discuss it at the WikiProjects Country (which I have tried), or with a WP:RfC (not yet tried). If we could reach a resolution that way, it would save us all a lot of time. EMsmile (talk) 07:46, 3 January 2021 (UTC)

Etymology of Bengal

I have problem with this: "In Abrahamic tradition, it is said to have come from "Bung/Bang", a son of Hind (the son of Hām, who was a son of Noah) who colonised the area for the first time.[29]"

This is original research without any evidence or proper references. The reference that is give (ie reference 29) is dead internet link. We should only put theories that are evidence based that are supported by real historian and published in reputable sources. First, there is no historical evidence that Abraham even existed. The only source that Abraham even existed comes from religious text such as Bible or Quran. Bible and Quran do not mention Bengal. Even in context of religion which is not historical evidence, I could not find name Hind or Bung/Bang in the primary religious texts. Again, there is no evidence at all or proper reference to support the claim that: "Bung/Bang, a son of Hind (the son of Hām, who was a son of Noah) who colonised the area for the first time". If you have actual evidence, please post them. Wikipedia has clear rules against original research and this is original research. Tarikur (talk) 15:33, 11 July 2021 (UTC)

This is not original research as references have been provided. Your edits had a a Vanity Press tag which is not acceptable in Wikipedia. I agree, the wording should be changed as it is not part of the original Abrahamic tradition but a later one. UserNumber (talk) 11:11, 12 July 2021 (UTC)
You changed to this "Abrahamic genealogists suggest that the area was first colonised by Bang, a son of Hind who was the son of Ham (son of Noah).[31][32][33]" and I still have a problem. Please look at your reference and none of your references says that. You are pushing an original research without any evidence. No historical evidence that Abraham even existed to begin with. No one has Noah, Shem, Ham's DNA, genetic is out of question. Second, every primary religious literature (Bible, Quran) does not even mention Bengal region or anything related to your theory. With what evidence can any genealogist come that conclusion? Please share the evidence. Your first reference (31)(https://persian.packhum.org/persian/pf?file=07601010&ct=11) is dead internet link. Your second reference link (32) (http://countrystudies.us/bangladesh/4.htm) does not mention your theory: it states "Historians believe that Bengal, the area comprising present-day Bangladesh and the Indian state of West Bengal, was settled in about 1000 B.C. by Dravidian-speaking peoples who were later known as the Bang." Dravidian-speaking peoples are totally different people than Semitic people such as Abraham. Your third reference link ((33) (https://en.banglapedia.org/index.php?title=History) does not mention your theory. Tarikur (talk) 17:30, 12 July 2021 (UTC)
I have never mentioned anything about Abraham,. There is a difference between the Abrahamic tradition and Prophet Abraham himself. Also, click the archived link and it will take you to the correct place. All the references should be easily accessible now. Semites are descended from Shem, whilst this theory states that Bengalis are descended from his brother, therefore no one is pretending that Bengalis are Semites. You are just misunderstanding. UserNumber (talk) 12:54, 13 July 2021 (UTC)
The theories should be evidenced based. Again, with what evidence can any genealogist come that conclusion (no DNA of Bang Ham and Noah and no primary literature)? You are pushing a theory that is based on blind faith (not evidence). The only mention of Noah and his son Ham comes from religious texts and those religious texts don't mention Bang colonizing Bengal. The notion that Semitic people are descendent of Shem and Africans and some Asians are descendants of Ham is based on religion, not history. People used Curse of Ham to justify racism and slavery. Regarding your references, your first reference (Ghhulam Husain Salim) does mention your theory but he gave no evidence where he got it from. The old Christian historians used to believe that Adam and Eve was first humans and we, humans, started in the Middle-east (now we know that first humans were due to evolution and Humans started in Africa). Your Second reference (Dow, Alexander: History of Hindostan), did not mention your theory. I am in the process of getting hold of your third reference (Trautmann, Thomas (2005). Aryans and British India). The published year is 1997 (not 2005). Tarikur (talk) 16:29, 13 July 2021 (UTC)
This isn't my theory, and all of the citations mention this. Whether it is true or false, is not our job. This is a prevalent idea that is mentioned by many academics. I am more than happy to include that this is, of course, a legendary telling. UserNumber (talk) 11:50, 14 July 2021 (UTC)
So far only only one reference checks out and support the theory which is your first reference, ghulam husain salim. Your second reference (Dow, Alexander: History of Hindostan) does not mention the theory (the book is on Google Books for free and you search the whole book and no mention your theory). We can keep as is (your edits) until I get hold of the your third reference: (Trautmann, Thomas (1997). Aryans and British India). Tarikur (talk) 16:07, 14 July 2021 (UTC)

Regarding Religious demography

As per as Bangladesh 2013 religious census, Muslim population in the country stands at 89%, Hindu at 10%, while practitioners of other religions like Buddhism, Christianity, Animism etc together compose 1% of the population. Below is the reference - [https://www.justice.gov › filePDF Web results Bangladesh: Treatment of Religious Minorities - Department of Justice]

As per as 2016 report from Bangladesh Bureau of Statistics, hindu population in the country have increased upto 10.7%. The country population is 158.9 million as per as report, of which 17 million are Hindus. Below is the proof - [5]

So, as of 2016 year by combining the two references, Bangladesh have 88.2% Muslim, 10.7% Hindu, 1.1% as others religions. Pitush Puttar (talk) 15:59, 29 July 2021 (UTC)

English pronunciation

The ipa pronunciation uses the ae ligature symbol for the first vowel in Bangladesh as the English sound described in the pronunciation key as being “like in bat”. But the next non-ipa pronunciation right after the ipa gives the same vowels as “ah” which is described as “like in father”. In no English dialect are these the same sound. Therefore the two given pronunciations are inconsistent. I’m not opening this discussion to give an opinion which correct. Rather that, If an ipa and non-ipa are both give in this article they must be consistent, that is describe the same sounds. Kangermu (talk) 14:43, 19 September 2021 (UTC)

Regional languages

Rangpuri, Chittagongian and Sylheti are usually considered as a dialect of Bengali, not a separate language. There is no recognition of these languages in Bangladesh — Preceding unsigned comment added by Taheri Supporter (talk • contribs)

Removing Sayeed Abubakar from Literature section

I removed Sayeed Abubakar from the "important figures of modern Bangladeshi poetry" sentence [6] and २ तकर पेप्सी reverted my edit [7], saying that he is "one of the great name of bangla literature", so I am opening a discussion here per WP:BRD. In addition to the sentence lacking a source, our article on Abubakar was deleted at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Sayeed Abubakar (Poet), with almost all participants finding that he has not received enough significant coverage in reliable sources to be notable by Wikipedia's standards. If he does not meet the threshold for an article, I do not think this article should present him as an "important figure of modern Bangladeshi poetry", especially without any sources to merit his inclusion. DanCherek (talk) 19:46, 18 October 2021 (UTC)

User:DanCherek from childhood I heard the name Sayeed Abubakad if you say about coverage there are many articles on Wikipedia main page which has less than 5ref [this] and [this] just with three coverage but Mostly we know their name from the nursery. That's why I undid your edit. २ तकर पेप्सी (talk) 19:59, 18 October 2021 (UTC)

Yes, other poorly referenced articles exist. If this article is going to list Abubakad (or anyone else in that sentence) as an important figure of modern Bangladeshi poetry, there needs to be sourcing to back it up. DanCherek (talk) 20:19, 18 October 2021 (UTC)

Population and Population Density of Bangladesh.

Bangladesh has now more than 183 million people. It may soon overtake Nigeria in terms of population. So changes in List of Countries by Population and Bangladesh will be required soon. Recently, I have changed the population and population density of Bangladesh in the article People's Republic of Bangladesh. HELLO IM NAZEEF (talk) 17:56, 15 November 2021 (UTC)

@HELLO IM NAZEEF: Wikipedia is not a crystal-ball that predict the future. Better update those articles in the future/with proper sources. Thanks. — Meghmollar2017 (UTC) — 01:45, 16 November 2021 (UTC)

GDP PER CAPITA NOMINAL $409 Billion

GDP PER CAPITA NOMINAL $409 Billion GDP PER CAPITA $2,534.44 instead of $2,138 PLZ UPDATE

CALCULATION: Here Given, $409 Billion Nominal GDP-2021 Population: 161,376,708

SOLUTION: $409 X 100,00,000,000 (1 Billion) = 409,000,000,000 / 161,376,708 = $2,534.44 Per Capita Nominal-2021 . As a result , Please update $2,534.44 Correctly and Please remove $2,138 ,it was old figure .
