I see that you haven't done a lot of editing over the years, so a warm welcome seems appropriate at last.

It was done automatically by the software, rather than being a change that I intentionally applied. Looking over what happened, though, I believe the problem was that you were using the <ref name=german><!-- Gloss by itself --></ref> format in the article body. That doesn't work as intended, unfortunately — a gloss can't be split off from the reference content in that manner so that it's standing alone as the only content nested inside a particular invocation of the ref tags, but rather has to be directly next to the actual content of the reference it's glossing.
So in this particular case, if the gloss is necessary for one particular invocation of the reference but not applicable to others, it might be necessary to create a separate ref=german2 citation for the content that needs to be specifically glossed as "supports solo", citing the specific page number in the source that "supports solo" instead of the entire page range of ref=german, so that the gloss can be left in the references list alongside the content of that particular citation.
Hope that helps a bit. Bearcat (talk) 15:30, 6 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2014-08-06T15:30:00.000Z","author":"Bearcat","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-Bearcat-2014-08-06T15:30:00.000Z-SM_Sultan","replies":[]}}-->
Hi Worldbruce. First let me thank you for taking the time to read and comment on my SICPA article. I am very aware of the conflict of interest issues and extremely keen not to fall foul of the rules. I'd just like to ask two favours from you.
The first is just a bit of clarification. You say that links to organisations that SICPA has a relationship with are not so good but I thought that close connections with organisations like the World Bank and Interpol - given the industry that SICPA is in - would be relevant. The problem is finding independnet references that aren't directly from those organisation's websites. Is it still best to simply remove this?
Secondly, would you be happy to review my next draft? And, if so, what is the best process to go about this?
Again, many thanks for your help.

@Iainplunkett: Wikipedia doesn't prohibit the use of non-independent sources like the press releases from the World Bank and Interpol, but the bulk of any article has to come from independent sources. To get the draft into article space it must clear the hurdles of notability and neutrality. Press releases don't help because they can't prove notability and don't present an unbiased view. In practice, they can hurt; one reference a reviewer doesn't like can sour their view and result in a declined submission. I would keep such sources only if they support unique information vital to an understanding of the range of the company's operations.
The best references are books or journal articles written by academics and published by academic presses, for example [1]. Next best are journalistic sources from reputable newspapers or magazines, such as [2]. The latter is not an in-depth source, but contains some choice nuggets, like "The ink for more than 80 percent of the world's currency, including the dollar, comes from Sicpa S.A."
Take your time improving the draft. When it's as good as you can make it, resubmit it using the blue button in the big pink box on the draft. Odds are another volunteer will review it. They may give you different feedback, which can be frustrating, but they may have different strengths than I do. --Worldbruce (talk) 14:59, 15 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2016-07-15T14:59:00.000Z","author":"Worldbruce","type":"comment","level":2,"id":"c-Worldbruce-2016-07-15T14:59:00.000Z-Iainplunkett-2016-07-15T09:31:00.000Z","replies":[]}}-->

Hello, again. Thought I'd continue this on your page. After further research, I was able to find some maps showing the defined municipal limits of the north and south Dhaka city corporations:
These probably don't include the recent incorporation of more land and suburbs into the city corporations, but they at least show the thanas and upazilas. I guess my final question is how the Dhaka Statistical Metropolitan Area (seen in the second map) is defined? Are the building blocks for this upazilas/thanas or something else? If it's upazilas/thans, exactly which ones outside the city corporation are included in this statistical metropolitan area? It seems that the Greater Dhaka page includes this Dhaka Metropolitan Area and then many, many other upazilas/thanas and municipal corporations. I know see that the term "Dhaka City" actually refers to the "Dhaka Statistical Metropolitan Area" as opposed to the incorporated city, which is how we'd define "city" here in the United States. I'd like us to nail down the area and most recent census population numbers for: Dhaka City Corporation (north and south) and Dhaka Statistical Metropolitan Area, and then on the city's page to be clear throughout the article what we're talking about when we mention "Dhaka" or "city." I might even look into "Greater Dhaka," but that doesn't seem to be an officially defined area, and we'd have to figure out which upazilas (and which parts when the it's only part of them) are included. For that, we'd have to delve down into a level even below upazilas, which I guess are union parishads.

Thank you for this. I have one additional question that I thought you might have the answer to. In the city and municipal corporations, are wards a subdivision of the upazilas/thanas whithin those corporations, or of the city corporations, themselves? I guess what I'm wondering is if, as optional divisions, if wards cross upazila/thana borders in cities, or if they are fully contained within their upazilas/thanas? This is just a personal curiosity, not much relating to my interest in redoing the civic administration on Dhaka's page, as I imagine it'd be hard enough to find a total list of thana/upazilas in Dhaka, let alone exactly how many wards it has. --Criticalthinker (talk) 11:11, 2 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2017-03-02T11:11:00.000Z","author":"Criticalthinker","type":"comment","level":3,"id":"c-Criticalthinker-2017-03-02T11:11:00.000Z-Worldbruce-2017-03-01T05:58:00.000Z","replies":["c-Worldbruce-2017-03-02T16:10:00.000Z-Criticalthinker-2017-03-02T11:11:00.000Z"]}}-->
Wards follow city/municipal corporation boundaries, but don't always align with thana boundaries. I'm not aware of any that cross three thana borders, but plenty include portions of two thanas. In contrast, union parishads, the administrative unit below upazilas, are always wholly contained within their upazila. Dhaka's councillors are elected by ward, so when there are municipal elections someone knows exactly how many wards there are, what their boundaries are, what their populations are, who ran for election, and who won. They don't necessarily share the details though, or keep any information that is publicly accessible up to date. --Worldbruce (talk) 16:10, 2 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2017-03-02T16:10:00.000Z","author":"Worldbruce","type":"comment","level":5,"id":"c-Worldbruce-2017-03-02T16:10:00.000Z-Criticalthinker-2017-03-02T11:11:00.000Z","replies":["c-Criticalthinker-2017-03-03T08:59:00.000Z-Worldbruce-2017-03-02T16:10:00.000Z"]}}-->
Thanks. This is what I figured and wanted to be sure of, and it's pretty similar to most other countries. Wards are an electoral division of cities/municipalities as opposed to being in the system of administrative divisions. Since I got that out of the way, this gives me another question: When cities or municipalities want to expand into surrounding areas and they don't annex entire upazilas/thanas, are they required to annex entire union parishads/municipalities/cities (administrative divisions) or can they simply annex specific wards (electoral divisons) of those union parishads/municipalities/cities. To put it more simply, do you know of any cities/municipalities which have jurisdiction over only parts of territory adjacent union parishads or other cities/municipalities? --Criticalthinker (talk) 08:59, 3 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2017-03-03T08:59:00.000Z","author":"Criticalthinker","type":"comment","level":6,"id":"c-Criticalthinker-2017-03-03T08:59:00.000Z-Worldbruce-2017-03-02T16:10:00.000Z","replies":["c-Worldbruce-2017-03-06T22:02:00.000Z-Criticalthinker-2017-03-03T08:59:00.000Z"]}}-->

The Dhaka Municipality was established in 1864 ... The municipal committee was reconstituted as paurashava in 1972 ... In 1983 it was replaced as Dhaka Municipal Corporation and finally in 1991 it got the status of a city corporation.[1]
When the report refers to the city (usually as Dhaka City, but also Dhaka Metropotitan [sic] City or Dhaka Metropolitan Area) it means an area larger than that covered by Dhaka City Corporation (DCC). A third entity, Dhaka Mega City, larger than Dhaka City, is mentioned briefly.
Dhaka City
The report describes the city as follows:
[The city] consists of 42 thanas including Dhaka City Corporation with 92 wards, 2 restricted areas, and 837 mahallas and its adjoining 17 unions as other urban area. The thanas are Adabar, Badda, Bangshal, Bimanbandar, Cantonment, Chakbazar, Darusalam, Demra, Dakshin Khan, Dhanmondi, Gendaria, Ghulshan, Hazaribagh, Jatrabari, Kadamtali, Kafrul, Kalabagan, Kamrangir Char, Khilgaon, Khilkhet, Kotwali, Lalbagh, Mirpur, Mohammadpur, Motijheel, Newmarket, Palton, Pallabi, Ramna, Rampura, Sabujbagh, Shah Ali, Shahbagh, Sher-e-Bangla Nagar, Shyampur, Sutrapur, Tejgaon, Tejgaon Industrial area, Tongi, Uttara, Uttar Khan and Wari.[1]
Their phrasing is difficult to parse without studying their tables, and I hope you can come up with a clearer explanation. Breaking it down, Dhaka City consists of the 42 listed thanas. Another way to put it is that Dhaka City consists of DCC plus 2 restricted areas and 17 union parishads. Those 17 unions are parts of 12 of the thanas, specifically the portions of those thanas that extend outside DCC. (Four of those unions are split among thanas, something I didn't know could happen).

The city is divided into 92 wards, but one doesn't need to know that to understand the census area and population. The number of mahallas is also a red herring.
According to the 2011 Bangladesh census, Dhaka City had an area of 315.98 sq km, and a population of 8,906,039.[2] According to the 2001 census, it had an area of 1371 sq km, and a population of 9,672,763.[3] There is a discussion, that I will leave to you to read, of how the census bureau abandoned the concept of Statistical Metropolitan Areas (SMAs) after the 2001 census and how that makes comparisons between the censuses difficult.[4]

According to the 2011 Bangladesh census, DCC had an area of 126.34 sq km, and a population of 6,970,105.[2] The 2011 census excluded from DCC the two restricted areas, Biman Bandar and Cantonment, which previously had been included in the DCC line item. I believe this accounts for the decrease in the area of DCC from 153.84 sq km in 2001. The exclusion of the restricted areas also decreased population somewhat, but that was more than offset by population growth.
Dhaka Mega City
The report doesn't say much about Dhaka Mega City, but it is evident that they define it as Dhaka City plus five paruashavas (municipal corporations), and six upazilas. The paruashavas are: Gazipur, Tongi, Savar, Narayanganj, and Kadam Rasul. The upazilas are: Keraniganj, Bandar, Narayanganj Sadar, Gazipur Sadar, and Savar Upazila. According to the 2011 Bangladesh census, Dhaka Mega City had a population of 14,171,567.[6]
Subsequent events
After the 2011 census, DCC was split into DNCC and DSCC.
In May 2016, DNCC was expanded from 82.63 sq km to 114.58 square kilometres (44.24 sq mi), and DSCC was expanded from 45 sq km to 64.17 square kilometres (24.78 sq mi).[7][8]
Basic arithmetic is not original research, so we should be able to compute the population, as of 2011, of the area now within the bounds of DNCC and DSCC. This post is getting long, so I'll leave that for another day. --Worldbruce (talk) 22:02, 6 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2017-03-06T22:02:00.000Z","author":"Worldbruce","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-Worldbruce-2017-03-06T22:02:00.000Z-Subsequent_events","replies":[]}}-->
Thanks. This is a lot to take in but it answer basically all of my questions. To sum everything up:
- Like in most places I've studied, municipal and administrative divisions are two different layers. As an example, we've learned that city/municipal/union councils can exist in multiple thanas/upazilas. These municipalities are overlaid atop the administrative divisions.
- Apparently, when Dhaka's two city corporations annex land from surrounding municipalities, they annex entire council areas and not just parts of the council areas.
- Dhaka City Corporation (now split between DNCC and DSCC) is what we'd call a "city proper" and this is what the page should be centered around as it relates to the population and area listed in the infobox and throughout. So, at the most recent census (2011) we had a city proper with a population of 6,970,105 at 127.63 sq km in size. While we won't have an official population until the next census (though, there are certainly estimates), what we do know is that the city proper with the addition of 16 union councils has now added an additional 178.75 sq km to the existing 127.63 square miles for a total area of 306.38 sq km.
- Dhaka "City" is a statistical area/definition that adds in close-by suburbs. To better differentiate it from the city proper, I'd most likely almost always refer to it by it's official name to avoid confusion: Dhaka Statistical Metropolitan Area. What I'm far less clear of is the whole 42 thanas thing, so it'd need to be specified which of these thanas are totally within the two city corporations, which whole thanas exist outside of the two city corporations, and then finally which parts (union councils) of the remaining thanas are included. I'm not sure if the 42 number is just the thanas in the city corporations or if the 42 number is whole thanas and parts of others.
Anyway, thanks, again. If you ever need me for any advice if you ever try to clarify the page, always feel free to ask. --Criticalthinker (talk) 12:37, 7 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2017-03-07T12:37:00.000Z","author":"Criticalthinker","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-Criticalthinker-2017-03-07T12:37:00.000Z-Subsequent_events","replies":["c-Criticalthinker-2017-04-03T08:10:00.000Z-Criticalthinker-2017-03-07T12:37:00.000Z"]}}-->
Actually, the more I think about this the more I want a list so we know which complete thanas/upazilas and which parts of others (the unions) make up the two municipal corporations. I want to be able to clearly define this. Also, do you happen to know the translation of the texts on this map in the map's key?

Sorry to bug you Worldbruce, but were you ever able to compile a list of all of the thanas completely under the jurisdiction of the two Dhaka city corporations, and then those union councils under the city coporations in the adjacent thanas/upazilas?

Hi Criticalthinker. Your question is not forgotten. I was on the road, and consequently not editing, for a couple months earlier this year, and have never caught up from that. As near as I recall, all the necessary information is in the above references, it's just a matter of digging it out. Anyone can do that, you don't have to wait for me. I don't think the map on the Dhaka District page contains enough detail to be useful for your purpose. The legend reads, from top to bottom: District borders, Thana, Union, Thana headquarters, and District headquarters. What it calls thanas have, since 1984, been called upazilas, it doesn't show any subdivisions within the city, and it doesn't show all the unions. --Worldbruce (talk) 15:12, 9 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2017-08-09T15:12:00.000Z","author":"Worldbruce","type":"comment","level":4,"id":"c-Worldbruce-2017-08-09T15:12:00.000Z-Criticalthinker-2017-08-09T08:22:00.000Z","replies":["c-Criticalthinker-2017-08-10T06:44:00.000Z-Worldbruce-2017-08-09T15:12:00.000Z"]}}-->
I only ask you, because I have tried researching this myself. You've layed out many of the problems I find: the maps don't show the thana/upazilas, or the ones that do don't show the unions. It becomes even more difficult given that I don't speak or read the language. Curiously, there seems to be many maps showing the wards, but those aren't administrative divisions of the state. We've nailed down that the two municipal corporations includes both thanas in their entirety (though, we still don't have a comprehensive list of even these), but also that they include only parts of thanas (unions), too, but nailing down which of those unions belong to the two city corporations has proven very difficult. --Criticalthinker (talk) 06:44, 10 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2017-08-10T06:44:00.000Z","author":"Criticalthinker","type":"comment","level":5,"id":"c-Criticalthinker-2017-08-10T06:44:00.000Z-Worldbruce-2017-08-09T15:12:00.000Z","replies":[]}}-->
Hello, Worldbruce. Your account has been granted the "extendedmover" user right, either following a request for it or demonstrating familiarity with working with article names and moving pages. You are now able to rename pages without leaving behind a redirect, and move subpages when moving the parent page(s).
Please take a moment to review Wikipedia:Page mover for more information on this user right, especially the criteria for moving pages without leaving redirect. Please remember to follow post-move cleanup procedures and make link corrections where necessary, including broken double-redirects when suppressredirect is used. This can be done using Special:WhatLinksHere. It is also very important that no one else be allowed to access your account, so you should consider taking a few moments to secure your password. As with all user rights, be aware that if abused, or used in controversial ways without consensus, your page mover status can be revoked.
If you do not want the page mover right anymore, just let me know, and I'll remove it. Thank you, and happy editing!

Good day Worldbruce
Hope you are doing well. Recently saw your contribution in List of members of the 4th National Assembly of Pakistan page. I saw you added Constituency names. I wanted to request you to tell about the source from which you watched these constituency names and one more thing. Do you know about 1970 East Pakistan Provincial Assembly election results constituency wise. I want to add constituency wise results and also want to make 1970 election map of East Pakistan assembly election.

@Saad Ali Khan Pakistan: The 1965 constituency names (Mymensingh-IX, etc.) are listed in the cited source, https://na.gov.pk/uploads/former-members/4th%20National%20Assembly.pdf. I don't possess a source for the constituency-wise results of the 1970 election to the East Pakistan Provincial Assembly. A Google Books search for "Faridpur—XVIII" turns up some possibilities. The results with a 1971-1972 date after the constituency name are about the abortive 1971-1972 by-elections for the provincial assembly that Pakistan intended to run to fill vacancies created by deaths and disqualifications. Skipping those, your best bets would be:
S. G. M. Budruddin (1970). Election Handbook, 1970. Pub. & Marketing Associates. OCLC1006194734.
Rabindra Kumar Dasgupta (1971). Revolt in East Bengal. A. Dasgupta. OCLC1129476998.
Khāledā Hābiba (1991). Bāṃlādeśa nirbācana, Jātīẏa Saṃsada o Mantrisabhā, 1970-1991 (in Bengali). E. Āra. Muraśeda. OCLC27146030.
The first looks like it would be especially useful for map making, while the others might contain results. --Worldbruce (talk) 15:24, 9 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"20240209152400","author":"Worldbruce","type":"comment","level":2,"id":"c-Worldbruce-20240209152400-Saad_Ali_Khan_Pakistan-20240202223100","replies":["c-Saad_Ali_Khan_Pakistan-20240209173600-Worldbruce-20240209152400"]}}-->

@Saad Ali Khan Pakistan:WP:RX is a service that will scan sources and email them to you. They can't copy an entire book because of copyright restrictions, but they can copy a modest amount (10-20 pages). If you create a request there, be sure to clearly describe which pages you want.

@Eldomtom2: That, of course, is what should happen. As of yet, however, there is no consensus in that RfC, so it's difficult to get any major change through. Either additional seasoned editors need to weigh in on the RfC with well-reasoned contributions, or the question will need to be reshaped and a new RfC held to try to break the deadlock (as has been suggested at Wikipedia:Closure requests). --Worldbruce (talk) 16:46, 2 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"20240302164600","author":"Worldbruce","type":"comment","level":2,"id":"c-Worldbruce-20240302164600-Eldomtom2-20240302160500","replies":[]}}-->

Dear bruce,
This discussion that Awami league is a left wing party has already been accepted by many users that argued before but now agree, For Example,Helper201, also at the end finally accepted Awami league as leftist party after argument with |Wiki N Islam|. Therefore, confusions must be stopped. Also, Awami league has never ever supported right wing and neither are they like theMuslim Leage . Awami league is the party that helped bangladesh assure independence and created a secular country born out of fighting against imperialism. Users like,|Vif12vf|,|Nzs9|, have been repeadingly removing my outstanding and corrected edits with strong proof.
Therefore, I personally request a user like you to make edits on Awami League page without letting others vandalize.2607:FEA8:A75B:7100:5A4:16B3:2839:64DB (talk) 17:10, 17 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"20240317171000","author":"2607:FEA8:A75B:7100:5A4:16B3:2839:64DB","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-2607:FEA8:A75B:7100:5A4:16B3:2839:64DB-20240317171000-I_need_you_to_do_something_about_some_users_that_are_removing_my_correct_edits_a","replies":[]}}-->

@Fylindfotberserk: Now that I can examine the changes on a full screen, I see that Simple Kamal changed citations from Majumdar's 1943 original (The History of Bengal) to his 1971 revision (History of Ancient Bengal). On the pro side, Majumdar said he made extensive rewrites incorporating discoveries made by excavations in the intervening years, so the newer volume should represent newer scholarship. On the con side, Majumdar reused much of his 1943 text, so a reader has to realize that when he wrote "present-day Dinajpur district", for example, he wasn't talking about one of the districts in 1971, but about the pre-partition district.
I checked the new citations, and feel they support the text as well as the earlier citations did, so I'm going to call this a well-meaning if perhaps unnecessary edit. If you see a problem, feel free to undo it. --Worldbruce (talk) 19:12, 20 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"20240520191200","author":"Worldbruce","type":"comment","level":4,"id":"c-Worldbruce-20240520191200-Worldbruce-20240503183200","replies":["c-Fylindfotberserk-20240520193100-Worldbruce-20240520191200"]}}-->

@Meghmollar2017: Did you mean 13-digit numbers beginning with 984-, as in your sandbox example? I've seen such numbers labeled as ISBNs in Bangladeshi books, but they're not legitimate ISBNs. Valid ISBN-13s must start with 978- or 979-. I don't know who is to blame for the 984- ones, perhaps the national library, perhaps the publishers. You can make citation templates ignore the error by using the double parentheses accept-this-as-written markup, in other words |isbn=((984-70152-0155-5)). That downgrades the issue from an error to a warning. --Worldbruce (talk) 05:49, 19 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"20240619054900","author":"Worldbruce","type":"comment","level":2,"id":"c-Worldbruce-20240619054900-Meghmollar2017-20240618121200","replies":["c-Meghmollar2017-20240619095500-Worldbruce-20240619054900"]}}-->

@BangladeshiEditorInSylhet: Jago News 24 is reliable for the sorts of things newspapers are generally reliable for. One also has to consider the particular piece. It is an advertisement, a job posting. Every school advertises for teachers at one time or another. It is a non-independent (authored by the school) primary source. So it does nothing to help establish notability. About all it can do is confirm the school's existence - its name and what upazila it is located in. Those points are not in question, they are amply supported by the other sources. So there is no reason to cite this Jago News 24 piece, doing so is a form of citation overkill. That is the more detailed reason that I removed that particular citation. --Worldbruce (talk) 14:00, 8 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"20240808140000","author":"Worldbruce","type":"comment","level":2,"id":"c-Worldbruce-20240808140000-BangladeshiEditorInSylhet-20240808130000","replies":[]}}-->

@BangladeshiEditorInSylhet: A definitive answer always depends on what statement you want to support with what exact webpage, but generally speaking, no, I see no evidence that either one has a reputation for accuracy and fact checking. Among regional news outlets in Chittagong, I recommend sticking to Dainik Azadi, Dainik Purbodesh, and Dainik Purbakon, or perhaps CNA News 24 or CTG Times. There's a place where you can ask about reliability and at least potentially get a broader response, the Wikipedia:Reliable sources/Noticeboard. --Worldbruce (talk) 16:28, 19 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"20240819162800","author":"Worldbruce","type":"comment","level":2,"id":"c-Worldbruce-20240819162800-BangladeshiEditorInSylhet-20240819100100","replies":[]}}-->

Page 97 alone does not make the year clear, so I've broadened the page range to include enough context to make clear that it was 1975. --Worldbruce (talk) 12:11, 23 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"20240923121100","author":"Worldbruce","type":"comment","level":2,"id":"c-Worldbruce-20240923121100-YM_Gud-20240923062100","replies":[]}}-->

I've noticed that you've been removing information from articles about schools in Bangladesh. This information is important for understanding the educational context in the region.
Please understand that these are schools, and they do not appear in newspapers.
So it’s difficult to add references for them.
Wikipedia relies on contributions from users like us to provide comprehensive information.
It's important to ensure that any removals are backed by reliable sources. I encourage you not to remove informations from those articles.
Thank you for your attention to this matter. Cerium4B (talk) 05:09, 20 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"20241020050900","author":"Cerium4B","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-Cerium4B-20241020050900-Warning_Regarding_Edits_on_Bangladesh_Schools","replies":["c-Worldbruce-20241020062500-Cerium4B-20241020050900"]}}-->
@Cerium4B: One of the fundamental pillars of Wikipedia is that all content must be verifiable with citations based on reliable sources. If information about a topic doesn't appear in such sources, then no matter how "important" that information is, it must not be added to the encyclopedia. Knowledge from editors' personal experience does not belong on Wikipedia.
Any material lacking an inline citation to a reliable source that directly supports the material may be removed, and I will continue do so, as will most other experienced editors. I will also sometimes add a source or tag the problem for cleanup if I think the information is likely to be verifiable, as well as encyclopedic, and it will not make the article based unduly on non-independent or primary sources. --Worldbruce (talk) 06:25, 20 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"20241020062500","author":"Worldbruce","type":"comment","level":2,"id":"c-Worldbruce-20241020062500-Cerium4B-20241020050900","replies":[]}}-->

@Cerium4B: I looked at some of their edits to Chattogram City Corporation. They don't express themselves the way I would, but I didn't notice any horrendous mistakes, and their changes appear well-intentioned rather than malicious. If you have a concern, ask them about it on their talk page. If that doesn't work, you can involve others, but you'll need to be more specific about what you think the problem is and what you hope to achieve. --Worldbruce (talk) 17:37, 24 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"20241224173700","author":"Worldbruce","type":"comment","level":2,"id":"c-Worldbruce-20241224173700-Cerium4B-20241223173900","replies":["c-Cerium4B-20241224185800-Worldbruce-20241224173700"]}}-->
