Talk:Moulvibazar District

District name
The name of the district is actually pronounced as Maulavi Bazar, rather than the two words joined together. If the word Bazar is used then it will always be on its own, like for example; Cox's Bazar. Mohsin (talk) 14:56, 27 August 2008 (UTC)

District name 2
It doesn't matter how you pronounce a name. The official name of the district is Moulvibazar. So, the title of the topic should be Moulvibazar. 180.234.87.220 (talk) 02:31, 4 June 2013 (UTC)

Requested move

The result of the proposal was moved. --BDD (talk) 23:33, 26 December 2013 (UTC)

– To remove unofficial name and unnecessary disambiguation. The government website indicate clearly the official name at least here. Samudrakula (talk) 21:09, 7 December 2013 (UTC)
 * Maulvi Bazar District → Moulvibazar District
 * Maulvibazar Sadar Upazila → Moulvibazar Sadar Upazila
 * Maulvi Bazar (city) → Moulvibazar


 * This is quite a confusing matter. I don't accept that there is an official government spelling, because as the citations on the page indicate, various government documents use different spelling. The spelling used by Banglapedia should be very relevant to what wikipedia aims to achieve, and I'd suggest that it should be followed. In fact, the new edition has changed from using the spelling "Maulvi Bazar" to "Maulvibazar", and I would support making a page move to follow that. Banglapedia is still using the spelling Maulvibazar Sadar Upazila, so I would prefer to see that remain as is. We all are very familiar with the fluidity of "o" and "a" in transliterations from Bangla to English, and if the redirects are all in place, then I don't see a problem. (However, a very large number of alternative spellings need to be added as redirects before that ideal state is reached.)
 * Incidentally, Banglapedia also has a page on Moulavibazar, a market in Dhaka, and it would be good to have that disambiguated here. Sminthopsis84 (talk) 19:27, 10 December 2013 (UTC)


 * The spelling of all three names above should be same, as both Moulvibazar District(district) and Moulvibazar Sadar Upazila (sub district) are named after their headquarter Moulvibazar! like Narayanganj District→Narayanganj Sadar Upazila→Narayanganj. We have only one article in wikipedia named ″Moulvibazar″, why it should be disambiguated here for one less important article in banglapedia!? Sometimes the fluidity of "o" and "a" in transliterations from Bangla to English can create confusion! Especially in case of using Tatsama words in hindi and bengali. Classic example: Jana Gana Mana for hindi and Jono Gono Mono for bengali, derivation and meaning both are same but pronunciation different. Samudrakula (talk) 12:53, 11 December 2013 (UTC)
 * WP:NOR is relevant here, and is why I suggest following Banglapedia. Sminthopsis84 (talk) 16:06, 11 December 2013 (UTC)
 * Ok then we can follow Banglapedia and go with this: Maulvibazar District→Maulvibazar Sadar Upazila→Maulvibazar. Samudrakula (talk) 18:07, 11 December 2013 (UTC)
 * The above discussion is preserved as an archive of the proposal. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on this talk page. No further edits should be made to this section.

Strange move
The move to Moulvibazar District is not in accord with the result of the above discussion, which suggested that it would be better to move to Maulvibazar District. Sminthopsis84 (talk) 19:02, 27 December 2013 (UTC)

Orphaned references in Moulvibazar District
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 Moulvibazar District'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 "census": From Sirajganj District:  From Shariatpur District:  From Bhola District:  From Tangail District:  From Fenchuganj Upazila:  From Jhenaidah District:  From Narayanganj District:  <li>From Shah Mustafa: </li> <li>From Islam in Bangladesh: </li> <li>From Chhatak Upazila: </li> <li>From Derai Upazila: </li> <li>From Chunarughat Upazila: </li> <li>From Shah Jalal Dargah: </li> <li>From Moulvibazar Sadar Upazila: </li> <li>From Gowainghat Upazila: </li> <li>From Bagerhat District: </li> </ul>

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. AnomieBOT ⚡ 13:43, 22 February 2022 (UTC)
