Talk:Monzur Hossain

Wikidata entries
Both wikidata:Q82463722 and wikidata:Q25587890 refer to Monzur Hossain. Could some wikidata expert please merge them? - Jochen Burghardt (talk) 09:14, 3 February 2020 (UTC)


 * They are different persons. Please, anybody don't do this. This article's person died long ago (1968). And the image's person is still living person.S. M. Nazmus Shakib (talk) 11:12, 3 February 2020 (UTC)


 * Thanks for the information! Can you help me with cleaning up the confusion? wikidata:Q25587890 is connected to commons:Category:Monzur Hossain, which links to Ekushey Padak Awards (2000–09) (I guess this link is wrong), which in turn links to Monzur Hossain. Also, both are claimed to have received an Ekushey Padak award; I guess this is wrong, too.
 * To avoid future confusions, I suggest to find a distinguishing property and rename Monzur Hossain and commons:Category:Monzur Hossain accordingly; like Monzur Hossain (physician) and commons:Category:Monzur Hossain (xxx), where "xxx" should be replaced by the scientific area (I couldn't find out). Alternatively, we could rename to Monzur Hossain (born 1928) and commons:Category:Monzur Hossain (born 1957). - Jochen Burghardt (talk) 18:12, 3 February 2020 (UTC)


 * Though it was claimed in commons that image's person was Ekushey Padak recipient, I didn't find his name on Ekushey Padak list. His Bengali article does not claim that he is an Ekushey Padak recipient. Thanks for noticing. I have corrected on commons.S. M. Nazmus Shakib (talk) 18:38, 3 February 2020 (UTC)


 * Can you find out the scientific field of Monzur Hossain (born 1957) from the Bengali article? - Jochen Burghardt (talk) 19:00, 3 February 2020 (UTC)
 * Monzur Hossain (scientist) is working in the field of genetic engineering and plant reproduction.S. M. Nazmus Shakib (talk) 08:48, 4 February 2020 (UTC)


 * Thanks again! Would you agree to rename Monzur Hossain to Monzur Hossain (physician), and to rename commons:Category:Monzur Hossain to commons:Category:Monzur Hossain (geneticist)? - Jochen Burghardt (talk) 09:55, 4 February 2020 (UTC)


 * I agree. But, Monzur Hossain (scientist) can be renamed as Monzur Hossain (academic) as he is an academic of the University of Rajshahi. What do you think?S. M. Nazmus Shakib (talk) 10:23, 4 February 2020 (UTC)


 * At least on commons, scientists are considered a subclass of academics, cf. commons:Category:Academic disciplines and the discussion there; so "scientist" vs. "academic" wouldn't be a distinction. Therefore, I'd prefer to distinguish by scientific field (or by birth year). - Jochen Burghardt (talk) 16:54, 4 February 2020 (UTC)
