Hello Mrkshahin, I got your message so let's see what we can do. First you have to understand that copying text from the official website over to the article, even if you change a few words, constitutes a copyright violation. That's something that can be easily avoided. The bigger problem is that the stuff you were adding reads like you are promoting the university (which is what I meant by calling it an advertisement). For example if on the Microsoft page I wrote something like "Microsoft provides the best software available at the best price" that would be an advertisement for their products (also point of view and possibly original research). Let's look at one of the lines you added "It uses modern instructional techniques and technology to the best advantage so as to enhance and enrich students' achievements of their educational and career goals as well as socio-economic development of the country." This is the exact same kind of thing that I did in my Microsoft example. It's like you're trying to convince prospective students to choose this school over other ones.

One of the difficulties is relying on the University's website for information about the school. They are trying to promote the school over other options so of course they make themselves sound better. What we need to do is find what other people have said about the school. I don't know what newspapers are in the area but if any of them have written articles about the school's achievements or comparing them to other schools then that would be great to use. In the US we have a magazine called US News & World Report which publishes an article every year listing what they think are the best schools in the country. If there are respectable publications in Bangladesh that do something similar that would be a great source. Or if any graduates or professors have won major awards that would be good to add. This is all just to help get started.

Finally, since we want this to be open to anyone who wants to contribute we should discuss specifics on the Talk page of the article here. SQGibbon (talk) 06:52, 5 June 2010 (UTC)


Hi ! I am going to edit (promoting part of university) this page according to your instruction.

Bangladesh is developing country where we can't contrast it with US. Here, we don't have such magazine where compares university education. UGC just permitted the university education as private. If anything they publish on website, they have rights to cancel the university license.

I completed my graduation from this university and interested to contributes real things in Wikipedia. Here in Bangladesh , some institution grants "Grading system in Course wise" and others count "Grading system in GPA/CGPA". It is required to publish it in Wikipedia so that peoples do not confuse anymore.

I got scholarship while I was student depends on merit. eLink scholarship is important to represent in wikipedia because it is first time a private university started such scholarship. So I have added it. You may see them newspaper of Bangladesh [480 students get Duke of Edinburgh's Award= http://www.thedailystar.net/story.php?nid=134933]. European commission started e-link project ( http://www.kec.edu.np/elink.html or http://ec.europa.eu/idabc/en/document/2322 )
