Too long (June 2023)

Currently the article is appropriately tagged as too long, at 105kB of readable prose. Do editors have any ideas for how best to shorten it? —Alalch E. 08:54, 23 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

History byte count of India is 22,175. History byte count of Bangladesh is 101,741. ~4.6 times larger. India is a featured article. Conclusion: The history content in this article must be summarized.—Alalch E. 17:53, 23 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Government type in infobox

Hi Nurusa101, Yoshi24517 and Gråbergs Gråa Sång, it was HapHaxion who added the description a couple of days ago. It was removed later by Nurusa101. HapHaxion re-added and expanded the bit a couple of hours ago. Since then there have been several reverts. I am not involved myself, could you please discuss it? soetermans. ^{↑↑↓↓←→←→ B A TALK} 20:34, 8 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The edit was unnecessary and doesnt follow the conventions of this encylcopdia. Other countries that are described as "becoming autocratic" are not marked as such like Hungary, Pakistan, Algeria, Tunisia, India , etc and this principle must be applied to this page as well Nurusa101 (talk) 20:40, 8 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, my reaction was TBH mostly to the cite-error and apparent removal of sources. Looking at the context again, it seems the infobox "Unitary parliamentary republic under an authoritarian state" does not match current article content, and the refs in the infobox seems very recent. So, I'm not wedded to "my" version. Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 20:41, 8 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

So should we revert back to Unitary Parlimentary Republic? Nurusa101 (talk) 20:43, 8 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I've done so. Infobox (at least this part of it) should not deviate from article content, it's for simple uncontroversial stuff, hopefully sourced in the article already. Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 20:53, 8 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thaanks!! Nurusa101 (talk) 22:24, 8 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I also want anyone to know that tries to change the government type without consensus from here on out, it will be marked as vandalism after warnings. Nurusa101 (talk) 01:58, 9 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The Democratic backsliding is easily sourced [1].. it should be in the article somewhere..... as this place is generally the example of democratic backsliding as of late. Since 2014 "IEDA has marks Bangladesh as authoritarian regime".[2]. Best comeup with something or others will.Moxy-

03:02, 9 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Democratic Backsliding is not an authoritarian regime, I also want to add that the Economist classifies Bangladesh as a hybrid regime as does freedom house . I agree we should add it but not under government type. Nurusa101 (talk) 21:39, 9 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Gallup survey and the census

@Soetermans @Yung Yohan I started a discussion on the user page of yung yohan but this seems to be a better place.

Both of you guys are messing with the 2022 census results and combining it with a 2015 survey which doesn't even mention the 86% figure for islam as gallup only talks about religious, not religious and atheist so why remove the 91% figure for those who said they were muslim in the 2022 census and make it 86% muslim when the 2015 gallup survey doesn't even mention islam?

Inteqaam (talk) 10:27, 28 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

you can change islam back to 90% as it is mentioned in 2022 Census Yung Yohan (talk) 12:34, 28 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Under the religion section, the information of which is stated to have been taken from the 2022_Bangladeshi_census, does not match up with the actual page. Please edit and put down the actual information, whichever is the right set. Thank you. 2604:3D09:1489:8400:FC06:6FDD:56D:BC7F (talk) 05:02, 29 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Bangladesh should be defined as "A country runned by dictator sheikh hasina. Its a beautiful country of 170 million oppresed people where people are fighting for their rights, freedom of speech and even fighting for their life against the dictator and its armed forces". Though it got independence in 1971 still people are fighting for their indeoendence since last fifteen years from the tyramy" Ashik0231 (talk) 19:47, 30 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
