Watch the personal attacks, IP, that language is not welcome here. I'll review the section, I don't think adding "is" is all that's required here. Ivanvector (^Talk/_Edits) 14:18, 12 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Solomon The Magnifico today had removed some of the information that gives a basic idea about economic situation and military power in the region. The information were removed without stating the actual reason rather than just stating it's too long for him to read. I would like to take the board and community make their standpoints before removing these informations. Imamul Ifaz (talk) 09:54, 26 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Your edits are excessively prolonging the introduction of this article. You are trying to portray Bangladesh as some kind of a global superpower with a special paramilitary. As I mentioned to you in my talk page, you insist on mentioning the paramilitary in the lede. The paramilitary forces serve as auxiliary police and military reserve forces. Hence, their importance is not so high. Other countries like India, Pakistan, China, Thailand, Mexico and the United States also have very large paramilitary forces, but there is nothing special about it. Solomon The Magnifico (talk) 12:42, 26 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I mentioned paramilitary police more to highlight Bangladesh's global achievement rather than their importance. If I thought Bangladesh was a superpower I wouldn't use the specific term "middle-power" in my edit. And If you think I have to edit on your tradition like this page has this that page has that then you are wrong. I am and independent editor. I have rights to edit pages from trustable sources. Imamul Ifaz (talk) 19:18, 26 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

As per

WP:LEAD, the lead should summarize the article. There is only one reference to 'paramilitary' in the entire article, which refers to the militias of 1971. You are trying to insert something which the article does not even talk about. Solomon The Magnifico (talk) 22:24, 26 May 2023 (UTC)[reply

]

Again, you are bragging the same argument of paramilitary not having any importance in the country's defence line. Although I have said before that it has nothing do with importance rather than having a achivement. Bangladesh is relatively a small country with barely any achivement in the world platform. This achivement is one of the few of them shows Bangladesh's ability to portray themselves. As per

WP:LEAD, the lead should establish context, explain why the topic is notable. So it's important Imamul Ifaz (talk) 08:03, 27 May 2023 (UTC)[reply

]

No, I'm quoting to you the very first sentence of

WP:LEAD, which is that "In Wikipedia, the lead section is an introduction to an article and a summary of its most important contents." The article has a single reference to the term 'paramilitary'; in comparison, the military has an entire sub-section devoted to it. Notability is not the issue here. When people think of Bangladesh, they don't think about its paramilitary. First, you have to explain what you mean by paramilitary, then we have to see if the content is relevant for Wikipedia and then we can try to understand what you are trying to say. My hunch is that you are referring to the Bangladesh Ansar and Village Defence Party among other organizations. So in that context, please see that India does not mention the Indo-Tibetan Border Police and Pakistan does not mention the Pakistan Rangers in the lede.

Your edits show a lack of understanding of policies and guidelines, one that applies here is

WP:LEAD. Also, do you happen to be using a LLM such as ChatGPT or Google Bard? QuicoleJR (talk) 16:35, 26 May 2023 (UTC)[reply

]

I can ask you the same question cause you happen to be using a LLM such as ChatGPT or Google Bard. This is offensive and disrespectful to suspect someone using LLM without any proof. Imamul Ifaz (talk) 19:14, 26 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Did you just tell me I am using an LLM to write these? I am not, I assure you. Also, the main reason I asked was to confirm or deny the accusations of others towards you at

WP:ANI. QuicoleJR (talk) 19:35, 26 May 2023 (UTC)[reply

]

That has been also a false accusation as the user also didn't have any proof for such aligation. He used this to play his other aligations he had against me. Imamul Ifaz (talk) 07:44, 27 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

As

Imamul needs to understand that the lead is not a nationalistic commentary, but a way for people around the world to understand Bangladesh in the most concise way possible. Concise, but has to be informative too. Solomon The Magnifico (talk) 09:13, 27 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I could also argue with the lead section of China or India being a good example of how a intro of a country should be. And the necessity of a information is not a personal opinion it is a debate with the whole community. As you said, people around the world to understand Bangladesh in the most concise way possible is what my point is. we need to describe Bangladesh in simple and broad way possible to let the audience know it's current situation in the world community.

Alalch E. is not the representative of Bangladesh. I will not be convinced by his particular argument as he has been accused of being biased before. Imamul Ifaz (talk) 12:04, 27 May 2023 (UTC)[reply
