thread_title: Image Problem

message: Cox's Bazar is a very famous spot of aquaculture, fishing, salt production etc. We may focus these issues in Economy and development section. I have added few stuff but they are not sufficient to illustrate actual importance that Cox's Bazar holds in those sectors. What do you think ? -- Niaz(Talk • Contribs) 17:04, 1 February 2008 (UTC)

thread_title: Cox's Bazar participation in national economy

message: The River Naf or the Saint Martin's Island have nothing to do with Cox's Bazar, apart from the fact that they belong to the same district. I really belive these places, and pictures belong to the district article. Aditya(talk • contribs) 07:04, 3 March 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Fully agree that these items belong to the District article, so please do feel free to add these items, if possible in greater details, in the relevant article. As far as this article is concerned, these items come under a subsection clearly marked as "Other Tourist Attractions near Cox's Bazar", which makes is quite obvious that these are not in the area exclusively known as Cox's Bazar. From the perspective of a global tourist, a discussion of nearby attractions of a tourist destination seem quite relevant and useful to me. The Banglapedia article on Cox's Bazar also discusses places like Teknaf and nearby islands. Arman (Talk) 09:45, 3 March 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: True. The Banglapedia article also includes pieces like - "In addition to the long sea-beach with its silvery waves breaking at the foot of hills and sea-bathing, the attractions of Cox's Bazar include a drive along the beach, the view of the sun setting on the rolling sea-waves, the moonlit night, and the exciting interior of the bazar and its people." Let's see if we can figure out a way to be right and accessible at the same time. Aditya(talk • contribs) 14:43, 3 March 2008 (UTC)

message: Googling strongly suggests that 'Cox's Bazaar', with the correct generic spelling of the word 'bazaar', is incorrect for the placename, yet it occurs many times in the article. Rothorpe (talk) 03:25, 6 November 2013 (UTC)

thread_title: Spelling

message: Wikipedia is not a picture book, neither it is a tourist guide. This article seems to be a sad cross between a gallery and tourist guide, not an encyclopedic article. Can you guys, please, stop incorporating pictures with almost zero information value and/or tourist booklet stuff? Otherwise it would be very difficult to turn this into a decent article ever.

thread_title:  Not a picture book 

message: In English, there is only one spelling for this word- Bazaar. We don't have to go by the spelling mistakes of Bangladeshi government officials. The title should be moved.--Uck22 (talk) 19:12, 19 May 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: Nope dear fellow! It is a proper noun, and the English transit is what the authority says it is. Bazaar is one transliteration popularly used for Hindi word of the same meaning. – nafSadh did say 17:44, 6 October 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: Bazaar has nothing to do with Hindi. No one uses bazar in the English language. Where does Hindi come from? Please keep your bigoted thoughts to yourself. --114.134.89.21 (talk) 03:13, 5 June 2015 (UTC)
thread_title:  Bazar? 

message: I have changed the statement "the world's longest uninterrupted natural sandy sea beach" to "one of the world's ... beaches", as Praia do Cassino, the southernmost beach in Brazil, also claims that title and is definitely much longer, at 212 to 254 km (depending on the source) from the breakwater in Rio Grande to the mouth of the Chuí Stream on the border with Uruguay. The references cited in this article do say that Cox's Bazar has the world's longest uninterrupted beach, but it seems that they are giving incorrect information. Cox's Bazar still certainly qualifies as one of the world's longest beaches, though I suspect that even longer uninterrupted beaches may exist in desertic coastlines, such as on the Atacama, Namib, Great Australian, and Arabian desert coasts. Lacking definitive and authoritative references and measurements, the more generic "one of the..." statement is certainly closer to the truth and less misleading than the absolute record claim.

thread_title:  Longest uninterrupted sea beach? 

message: In English it has to be Bazaar, no matter what Bangladesh's government sources say. Bazar is the original Persian word for a marketplace. It maybe similar to the Bengali pronunciation, but not in English. Please change it to Cox's Bazaar.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 114.134.89.21 (talk) 03:07, 5 June 2015 (UTC)

message: The article twice asserts "Captain [Cox] rehabilitated many refugees in the area". Refugees from what? How did he "rehabilitate" them? This is very unclear.Gymnophoria (talk) 12:29, 20 September 2017 (UTC)
thread_title:  Refugees? 

message: Cox Bazar is the site of the Kutupalong and other refugee camps in Bangladesh which contain an estimated 750,000 to 1,000,000 Rohingya refugees who have fled persecution in neighboring Myanmar. At least until this humanitarian crisis is over, Cox Bazar is extremely important for being the place where those who are fleeing genocide have been able to find some sort of safety and support. It may deserve its own Wikipedia entry with links to Cox Bazar https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cox%27s_Bazar , Myanmar https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Myanmar , Rohingya people https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rohingya_people ,  2016 Rohingya persecution in Myanmar https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2016_Rohingya_persecution_in_Myanmar , Genocide https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genocide , Aung San Suu Kyi https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aung_San_Suu_Kyi , among others.

replies: text: Thanks , for listing this here. I am shocked that for 1 and a half years nobody has added the salient fact that the area has the largest refugee camp of the world, to the page.
