Talk:Bengal

message: This is descending into an edit war - we shouldn't be changing it back and forth to our preferred version. What if we were to use a form of language that incorporates both phrases? For a long time, the stable version of the first sentence read as follows:
 I don't see why we couldn't modify that slightly, adding the word South and a couple of Wikilinks, to become the following:
*Bengal (/bɛŋˈɡɔːl/;[3] Bengali: বাংলা/বঙ্গ, lit. 'Bānglā/Bôngô' [bɔŋgo]) is a geopolitical, cultural and historical region in South Asia, which is located in the eastern part of the Indian subcontinent at the apex of the Bay of Bengal.
That is very close to the long-standing consensus on this page; it includes both the terms we are disagreeing on; it is completely unambiguous; it provides links to the reader so that they can follow up to learn the differences between the terms; and it follows similar examples such as Portugal, which mentions both the Iberian Peninsula and South Western Europe in the lede. Would anyone object to this alternative form of wording? GirthSummit (blether) 09:26, 21 September 2018 (UTC)
replies: text:  That is an excellent compromise. (Highpeaks35 (talk) 11:18, 21 September 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: Thanks for that comment Highpeaks35. Rh7hd, Razer2115, please could you confirm whether or not you are content with this wording? It would be great to put this to bed and all agree on a consensus to move forward with. Thanks! GirthSummit (blether) 19:11, 21 September 2018 (UTC)

text: The word India comes from Sindu. In the earliest Indo-Aryan literature going back 3500 years. Look at the reference provided above in The Diplomat. Again, this version is agreed upon. If you disagree, please provide reference and get an Admin for RFC. (Highpeaks35 (talk) 10:15, 23 September 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: FWIW, we don't need an admin to set up an RfC - any editor can do that. Instructions are here, if you choose to set up an RfC please ensure that the instructions are followed carefully, ensuring a neutrally composed question and putting the right tags in place etc. GirthSummit (blether) 11:33, 23 September 2018 (UTC)

thread_title:  Missing city 

message: This page is a mess. The major cities section looks like a disaster. Can anyone use a proper template containing city statistics and population figures like in other articles? The list of tourist attractions is very selective and frankly not attractive! I hope to work on this page in the future and fix it. Solomon The Magnifico (talk) 19:20, 31 October 2022 (UTC)

thread_title:  Durgapur! 

message: Bengal consists of Bangladesh, West Bengal, Tripura, Barak Valley and parts of Lower Assam (parts of Former Goalpara District). This were part of Former Bengal Province and they are Bengali majority areas. Manideepa Banik (talk) 04:20, 21 December 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: The exact contents of "Bengal" may be subject of debate. The Bengal presidency included many areas which did not speak Bengali. Anyway, you have a valid point. You are welcome to add those, but ideally should be backed by some reliable sources.--Dwaipayan (talk) 06:32, 21 December 2022 (UTC)
thread_title:  Where are other parts of Bengal? 

message: I check pages listed in :Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of :Bengal's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.
Reference named "Eaton1996p64":
From Bengal Sultanate: 
From Bengali Muslims: .
I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. Feel free to remove this comment after fixing the refs. AnomieBOT⚡ 15:59, 21 May 2023 (UTC)
