[edit] History section on Bangladesh

Thanks for your edits to the History and other sections on Bangladesh. One point I want to mention is that the main article for history of BD is History of Bangladesh. The convention for Country level articles is that the main article points to topic-level pages, and gives a brief overview of each topic. So, the history page should contain brief discussions of the stuff from the actual history article. The history section in the BD article has becoeme too long over the last few months, so you might consider contributing detailed history to the History of Bangladesh article.

by the way, we do have a wikiproject Bangaldesh. Check that out to find more topics to explore.

Thanks.

[edit] RE: History section on Bangladesh

Ragib,

In my view, Bangladesh is a good start, but should be expanded considerably before it reaches the level of maturity that some of the other Country-level articles have (e.g. Mexico,Canada) many of which I have read. Of course you are right that each section, such as History, should be further detailed in separate entries. History of Bangladesh should itself be expanded, especially in certain areas like the Mughal period. After all, there is a lot that is left out.

Also, I would like to see these entries better referenced and will try to help in that regard.

Take care,

The problem is, to get Bangladesh up to a Featured article status, the history section should really be a summary of the History of Bangladesh article. See India, which has been elected a featured article, and has a very brief History section that correctly summarizes the History of India article. Right now, the size of Bangladesh is more than 33 KB, which is more than the standard for article sizes. --Ragib 23:19, 11 December 2005 (UTC)
History of Bangladesh is currently in poor shape which makes it difficult to base a summary on it. For example, most of it deals with pre-Bangladeshi history with only 3 paragraphs covering 1971 until the present. The introduction is inappropriate (it is not a synopsis) and appears to be lifted verbatim from the US State Department without reference.
