Talk:M. A. G. Osmani

message: too many abbreviations of military terms in this article. please keep in mind that laypersons also want to understand it.--Severino (talk) 21:19, 30 September 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  abbreviations 

message: This is a rather important article, since General Osmani was a central figure in Bangladesh's founding and liberation. I have shortened the lead and his early life section. I hope other editors contribute to making this article more precise and properly sized over time. Most of the notable and essential issues around Osmani are already here. But this article desperately needs a copy edit and cleanup. The previous tags perceived a possible bias, but that is mostly not the case.--180.234.75.2 (talk) 21:58, 4 January 2015 (UTC)

I have tried unsuccessfully to locate the correct ISBN on the Internet; the best lead--here.
One obvious problem  at the start: these five (well, four) citations do not spell the author's name similarly.  Then, if we had the bibliographic information in the original language (Bangla), we could find the correct ISBN more easily. Knife-in-the-drawer (talk) 10:18, 3 May 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: A valid ISBN-13 does not begin with "984". Knife-in-the-drawer (talk) 10:24, 3 May 2015 (UTC)
thread_title:  Bad ISBN

I have tried unsuccessfully to locate the correct ISBN on the Internet.
One obvious problem at the start: for ISBN-13, the prefix should be "978", but if we remove the extraneous "8" in the invalid ISBN above, only 12 digits remain. In addition, if we had the bibliographic information in the original language (Bangla???), we could find the correct ISBN more easily. Knife-in-the-drawer (talk) 08:16, 4 May 2015 (UTC)
