This is WikiProject Bangladesh, a collaboration area for Wikipedians interested in improving coverage of Bangladesh. New participants are welcome; please feel free to participate! Sub projects: Villages of Bangladesh • Bangladeshi Universities • Bangladeshi Colleges • Colors of Bangladesh • Bangladesh Premier League |
Some Wikipedians have formed a project to better organize information in articles related to Bangladesh. This page and its subpages contain their suggestions; it is hoped that this project will help to focus the efforts of other Wikipedians. If you would like to help, please inquire on the talk page and see the to-do list there.

Adopt an article scheme edit
- For an extensive list of articles pertaining to this project see Category:WikiProject Bangladesh articles
Similar to the Collaboration of the week, but on a smaller scale, you might want to "adopt" an article. This would involve doing the research, writing, formatting and adding images (if possible) for either a non-existent article, a stub or a very short article. Of course, everyone else can still edit an adopted article, and you can work on other things too, but the idea is to find a focus for a while, to try and build up the number of quality articles the Project has produced. If you have adopted an article, please, feel free to add that information here.

Guidelines edit
The goal of Wikipedia is to become a complete, accurate encyclopaedia. The three major content policies (verifiability, no original research and a neutral point of view) and notability contain important advise and rules on how to achieve accuracy, so careful fact checking is strongly recommended. Remain objective as possible. The point and ideal of Wikipedia is to create an encyclopaedic neutral body of knowledge. Avoid using the first-person point of view (emphasising the facts; not the editor). Explain the evidence (from the links and references) and explain the reasons of any conclusions. Remember, Wikipedia is not about just writing whatever is true (See: Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not), it is about writing whatever can be verified as truth. See Wikipedia:Citing sources for why we cite sources, and Wikipedia:Citation templates for ways of citing sources properly.
Don't over-categorize edit
Having added an article to, say, Category:Massacres in Bangladesh, there's no need to also add that article to Category:War crimes in Bangladesh, Category:Bangladesh Liberation War, Category:History of Bangladesh or Category:Bangladesh. The category hierarchy expresses the fact that every article about Massacres in Bangladesh is an article about War crimes in Bangladesh and an article Bangladesh Liberation War.
Public domain photographs edit
According to Bangladesh copyright act of 2000 (covered by The Daily Star), all photographs enter the public domain after sixty years counted from the beginning of the following calendar year after they were first published (i.e. as of 2011, prior to 1 January 2051). Try to upload as many such images as relevant and tag them with {{PD-Bangladesh}}.
According to the Bangladesh copyright act of 2000 (covered by The Daily Star), artistic recreations of public architecture and art work are exceptions to the rights of authors. The Copyright Act provides certain exceptions to infringement. The objective of these provisions is to enable the encouragement of private study and research and promotion of education. Feel free to upload as many such images as relevant and tag them with {{FoP-Bangladesh}}.
Sources edit
The goal of Wikipedia is to become a complete, accurate encyclopedia. Verifiability is an important tool to achieve accuracy, so it is strongly recommended to check facts. However, don't be too keen to remove unverified information at the cost of completeness. Wikipedia does not publish original research. Its content is determined by previously published information rather than the beliefs or experiences of its editors. Even if you're sure something is true, it must be verifiable before you can add it. All material in Wikipedia mainspace, including everything in articles, lists and captions, must be verifiable. All quotations, and any material whose verifiability has been challenged or is likely to be challenged, must include an inline citation that directly supports the material. If no reliable third-party sources can be found on a topic, Wikipedia should not have an article on it.
Levels of references edit
- Primary sources: Primary sources are original materials.
- Secondary sources: In scholarship, a secondary source is a document or recording that relates or discusses information originally presented elsewhere. Base articles largely on reliable secondary sources. (For more information, see the Primary, secondary, and tertiary sources section of the No original research policy, and the Misuse of primary sources section of the BLP policy)
- Tertiary sources: Constitute index and/or textual condensation of primary and secondary sources. Some examples of tertiary sources are almanacs, guide books, survey articles, timelines, and user guides. Depending on the topic of research, a scholar may use a bibliography, dictionary, or encyclopedia as either a tertiary or a secondary source.
Tools edit
A list of articles needing cleanup associated with this project is available. See also the tool's wiki page and the index of WikiProjects.
- Main tool page: tools.wmflabs.org
- refill - Edits bare references - adds title/dates etc. to bare references
