Hello fellow Wikipedians,

I have just modified one external link on Dhaka Literary Festival. Please take a moment to review my edit. If you have any questions, or need the bot to ignore the links, or the page altogether, please visit this simple FaQ for additional information. I made the following changes:

Added archive https://web.archive.org/web/20131109014220/http://www.newagebd.com/supliment.php?sid=158&id=1179 to http://www.newagebd.com/supliment.php?sid=158&id=1179

Creating a balanced article edit

Latest comment: 4 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion

Hello fellow Wikipedians,

I have made extensive updates to this article, adding sections on: History and Notable Guests, and finding sources that are not closely too linked to the subject.

I also made the article more balanced in its language, as I found a previous version portrayed the festival from an extreme perspective, that: it is purely about promoting the English language, that the festival denigrates the local language (in particular, Bangla/Bengali) and local writers, and that the directors are themselves agents of foreign (Western) powers whose main interest was in promoting themselves. The previous edits had no evidence to backup the claims beyond a few local opinion pieces. It also incorrectly cited external articles that actually showed the opposite: that the festival is inclusive and respectful of local language and writers.

However, I don't want to scrub all references to this perspective, as those criticisms have been spoken against the festival locally; so it seemed better to address it rather than having this turn into an edit-war.

Please suggest any changes or corrections.

Many thanks, WebJud07 (talk) 08:27, 8 December 2019 (UTC)Reply
