Collage

Hey Nafsadh, I saw a collage on your Bengali page, and I really liked it. Is it possible if you can explain how to make one to me? Thanks, ManofManyTrophies (talk) 19:02, 22 August 2015 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for August 24

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Jennifer Convertibles, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Woodbury, New York. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Need to counter vandals

Some vandals are changing the numbers and continuously adding Bengalis in Pakistan as Bangladeshis in the two articles Bangladeshis and Bangladeshi diaspora. Bangladeshi government has clearly denied them to be Bangladeshis, [1], we need to counter those vandals. Akib.H (talk) 06:13, 5 November 2015 (UTC)

Bengalis Collage Issue

Hi, Nafsadh thanks for creating collage image in Bengalis, but I have one issue you forgot to add Swami Vivekananda's image, it would be great if you add Swami Vivekananda instead of Meghnad Saha because Vivekananda is heart and soul of every bengali. So could you please modify it. Thanks--♥ Kkm010 ♥ ♪ Talk ♪ ߷ ♀ Contribs ♀ 11:39, 26 November 2015 (UTC)

Please refer to this discussion to understand how and why the collage is created and what are the reasoning behind each face being there. In sum, Meghnad Saha has received seven times more score than Swami Vivekananda did. --nafSadh did say 19:19, 26 November 2015 (UTC)
I have checked it and its really great way to put those images. I think its wonderful the way discussion took place. But, as a Bengali its too hard for me to swallow that Vivekananda is mission from the collage. In India ordinary people don't know much about Meghnad Saha or Atisa, but the entire world knows Vivekananda and his contribution. Its sad a great bengali giant is missing, anyway it up to you. I don't want to get into argument. I even believe if Rani Mukherjee can stay why can't Vivekananda.--♥ Kkm010 ♥ ♪ Talk ♪ ߷ ♀ Contribs ♀ 05:37, 27 November 2015 (UTC)
It is a community decision, and it was really a very long process. This list doesn't represent the list of 30 I'd make. While far from perfect a collaborative decision is better than individual one. --nafSadh did say 05:59, 27 November 2015 (UTC)
Hi User talk:Kkm010, I too was initially surprised by some of the faces that missed out of the collage but was mightily impressed by the consensus that was shown by the whole exercise. Coolabahapple (talk) 09:53, 27 November 2015 (UTC)
Alright guys if a team has taken a particular decision, then what a individual can do about it. Anyway i'm fine with your answer, lets close this chapter. --♥ Kkm010 ♥ ♪ Talk ♪ ߷ ♀ Contribs ♀ 17:26, 27 November 2015 (UTC)

Portal:Bangladesh

Hello Nafsadh,
could you please help me with a translation into Bengali language? I want to set up a Portal:Bangladesh in the German-language wikipedia (first draft here, not yet finished, images and layout may change) and I need a translation for the phrase "Welcome to the Portal Bangladesh" in Bangla language and script. Could you please provide me with one? The Bangla speakers in the German wikipedia do not seenm to be very active, for this reason I am contacting you.

Thank you --Furfur Diskussion 12:57, 1 January 2016 (UTC)

Hello @Aftabuzzaman:, ধন্যবাদ! I hope that the previous inscription was not too much a nonsense ... --Furfur Diskussion 18:23, 1 January 2016 (UTC)
I was away and couldn't respond. I am sorry that I could not come to help. However, I am extremely pleased to see Aftab step in and graciously help. And off-course, kudos to Furfur for the Bangladeshi Portal in German Wiki. Vielen Dank. --nafSadh did say 16:38, 3 January 2016 (UTC)

About Indian people collage

Hi, could you replace few images of people at   1) Replace Hrithik Roshan image by adding A. P. J. Abdul Kalam at row 5 2) Replace Prasanta Chandra Mahalanobis image by adding Satyajit Ray or Ravi Shankar (which ever is possible) at row 4 3) Replace Sania Mirza image by adding Asha Bhosle / Lata Mangeshkar at row 5

Please replace as early as early as possible. Thanks--kkm010 talk to me 13:00, 3 January 2016 (UTC)

I have not made any edit on Indian people and I have not studied these individuals in depth. That precludes me from evaluating who should be in the collages. As such, I am unable to fulfill your requested. My apologies. --nafSadh did say 16:34, 3 January 2016 (UTC)

Image removed

Hi some one just removed collage image from Bengalis article, why i don't know pls check, also check Bangladeshis, it too has been removed. Thanks--kkm010 talk to me 05:26, 5 January 2016 (UTC)

It was done according to a recent consensus, and I respect it. It is also a relief and I should have gone for proposing WP:NOETHNICGALLERIES instead of building that montage. --nafSadh did say 16:25, 8 January 2016 (UTC)

Your sentence hardly makes sense. I assume, you are saying, you created a few articles with a lot of materials and citation. I looked into your contribution and talk page, and I think you should go through the links posted on your talk page Welcome section. --nafSadh did say 20:47, 20 January 2016 (UTC)
