Talk:Hussain Muhammad Ershad

message: I have removed the paraphrased info "referenced" from Daily star. This is a "Letter to editor" ... and has exactly zero value as reference for any info.
Also, please refrain from speculation such as what Ahmed might have felt about the verdict of a single case, or whether he was disgraced or not. The same applies to using peacock terms such as "landmark" etc. --Ragib (talk) 07:28, 21 November 2008 (UTC)

replies: text: The images are not essential for this article, and stretching fair use is not a very good idea. --Ragib (talk) 06:40, 20 February 2009 (UTC)

text: These images are not really useful because the article is NOT about the persons, rather this is a biography of Ershad. I will refer you to fair use criteria, which, among other things states that, "As a quick test, before adding non-free content requiring a rationale, ask yourself: "Can this non-free content be replaced by a free version that has the same effect?" and "Could the subject be adequately conveyed by text without using the non-free content at all?"". Ershad's biography can definitely be depicted without resorting to the use of fair use images of other persons, who are mentioned only a few times in the article. --Ragib (talk) 07:17, 20 February 2009 (UTC)

text: I do not understand the first part of your comment on "powerful administratorship". I have not exercised any admin actions here, rather reminded you of wikipedia content policy, as a regular editor of this article. --Ragib (talk) 07:49, 20 February 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Reply to imagecopyright problem with File:Pic5.jpg 

message: I removed the wording added by incongnito1980 because of the following reason - these are subjective POV commentary:
* "placing the neutrality to be questioned later on; " neutrality questioned by who? This is a very subjective POV comment.
* "e then Army Chief of Staff Lt General Nuruddin Khan unlike his predecessor Lt Gen Atiqur Rahman was not loyal to the President, having his own political ambition and agenda" -- this is against WP:BLP, and quite tangential to Ershad's biography.
* Finally, claiming that Ershad was bigamist "as per Sharia practiced among Muslim men" is so wrong on several counts -- that sentence implies that Bigamy is practiced by Muslim men, and Ershad had to do so to follow the custom!! Isn't that awfully racist stereotyping? Ershad was simultaneously married to Bidisha, whether he received permission of his first wife Roushan Ershad (as required by the 1961 Family ordinance) is not known, so that marriage may or may not be legal either. But claiming that to be a common practice is very wrong. 
I would recommend that Incognito1980 should focus on adding referenced facts to the subject's biography, and refrain from inserting his own commentary about the neutrality of different other people. -- (talk) 08:02, 20 February 2009 (UTC)
