Recent edit to History of Somalia
Hello, and thank you for your recent contribution. I appreciate the effort you made for our project, but unfortunately I had to undo your edit because I believe the article was better before you made that change. Feel free to contact me directly if you have any questions. Thank you! Epicgenius (talk) 20:06, 9 October 2014 (UTC)

Thank you for your contributions. Please mark your edits as "minor" only if they are minor edits. In accordance with Help:Minor edit, a minor edit is one that the editor believes requires no review and could never be the subject of a dispute. Minor edits consist of things such as typographical corrections, formatting changes or rearrangement of text without modification of content. Additionally, the reversion of clear-cut vandalism and test edits may be labeled "minor". Thank you. Ugog Nizdast (talk) 09:04, 10 October 2014 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for February 18
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Malto people, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Vedic religion. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ* Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Changes made to the Andrea Scholer Wikipedia Page
Hi Bongan. Thank you for contacting me regarding the Andrea Scholer page. Much of the information on the Andrea Scholer Wikipedia page is incorrect or out-of-date. It does not follow Wikipedia's guidelines for biographies: "Contentious material about living persons that is unsourced or poorly sourced must be removed immediately from the article and its talk page, especially if potentially libellous." The current article contains a lot of subjective statements that can't be properly sourced. I will try the edits again, making small changes that adhere to the requirement for neutrality, but the changes do need to be made. Fallensea (talk) 09:48, 12 August 2015 (UTC)

Help me!
Please help me with an article which have three sources. Primary source is a data, Secondary source is a news paper article to explain the primary source data & tertiary source is also news paper article to explain the primary source but misused of primary source

use of Primary & Secondary source artical look like ==>> the Scheduled Castes at 16.6 per cent and Scheduled Tribes at 8.6 per cent, the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes together make up 25 per cent of India's population according to the 2011 census.

if use of tertiary source than artical look like ==>> the Scheduled Castes at 16.6 per cent and Scheduled Tribes at 8.6 per cent, the Dalits and Adivasis together make up 25 per cent of India's population according to the 2011 census.

The above two article diffrence in a words Scheduled Castes & Scheduled Tribes (primary scource).tertiary source use Dalit & Adivasi(According to Primary scource) but (Primary scource data publish Scheduled Castes & Scheduled Tribes data)

please help me how to correct this article follow the Wikipedia protocol

Main article Dalit

Thanks Bo ng an &reg;   &#8594;TalkToMe&#8592;  11:23, 19 August 2015 (UTC)


 * You should discuss that at the article's talk page, Talk:Dalit. However, when the Times of India uses "Scheduled Castes" and "Dalits" interchangeably, I don't think it's appropriate to second-guess it. Since this is the article about the Dalits, we could probably omit the census and the Indian Express, as well as the mention of Adivasis, and simply cite the ToI for the number of Dalits.

Incorrect speedy deletion nominations and careless tagging
I have declined your recent speedy-delete nominations of the following pages: and User:GB fan has declined your speedy nomination of Karkare. None of these pages fit any of the speedy deletion criterion you had cited. While Dhananjay Jadhav could plausibly be merged into Police Commissioner of Mumbai following proper discussion, the rest are clearly notable and will easily survive AFD). I have also removed your tagging of the articles with numerous inapplicable tags; if you wish to re-add any of them, please justify the tagging on the concerned article talk page. Please be more careful in the future. Abecedare (talk) 12:11, 20 August 2015 (UTC)
 * John Begg
 * Our Lady of Egypt Church
 * Cathedral of the Holy Name, Mumbai
 * Dhananjay Jadhav
 * I have to agree, I looked at Afghan Church that you added 6 maintenance tags. I removed 3 of them as they do not appear to be valid at all.  The other 3 are also questionable but have left them for now.  Tagging articles like that without any explanation does not help anyone.  When you tag an article like that unless it is obvious, like unreferenced, you should explain why you are tagging the article.  The rest of us may not see what you see.  -- GB fan 14:31, 20 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Additionally, I have removed your warnings about creating inappropriate pages from User talk:Jibin net. If a warning is required there should only have been one.  Escalating warnings such as the ones you left should only be given if the editor continues to do the same behavior after receiving earlier warnings.  In this case these were all created before your your initial warning.  -- GB fan 14:42, 20 August 2015 (UTC)

Read before you report [Reply to message on adding "unsourced content"]
Please read the Edit before you threaten a user with blocking him. If you need help differentiating between a grammatical/syntactical error and "unsourced content", I'd be happy to oblige. For example, adding a "." after "St" or correcting "the" to "an" isn't adding "unsourced content".

Please refer a dictionary before you do anything else
Hey! If you do not understand English or have no knowledge of the article being talked about, please refer a dictionary or an encyclopaedia, before you go undoing other peoples efforts. If this is how you type "I thing u are not follow Wikipedia protocol", then it is very evident that you wouldn't understand the intricacies of a language, because you can't seem to grasp the very basics.

Accusing editors of incivility
Hi Bongan. Be very cautious about linking a fellow editor to Wikipedia's civility policy (WP:CIVIL or WP:5P4) as you did with these edits:. Doing so can easily be taken as an accusation of incivility, and without substantive evidence, accusing editors of incivility can sometimes be taken as a personal attack. Remember, "comment on content, not on the contributor." In any collaborative project like Wikipedia, it is easy to mistake frank or direct disagreement with disrespect or incivility. If you feel another editor has treated you rudely, first take a step back and think whether something you said or did could have provoked a more defensive or bitter response. Consider ignoring isolated examples of incivility in favor of addressing the issue at hand. If you must, explain clearly, but politely and with the intent of moving on past the issue, exactly what it was you felt was not civil. Avoid just linking to the policy and expecting a change in behavior. Especially with new editors, I've often found success in explaining the principles of policies—why we have the policy—instead of just linking to them. Respectfully, Mz7 (talk) 19:11, 21 August 2015 (UTC)


 * Add: In general, be more careful in leaving warning messages. For example here are the copyedits User:Ronakshah1990 performed to the Afghan Church article, for which you left them a completely inapproriate warning. You then defended your actions twice above. This is not ok and needs to stop. Abecedare (talk) 19:28, 21 August 2015 (UTC)
 * And today you also warned Ronak for this 4-month old edit in which they copyedited the article and removed redundant information. Occassional errors of this sort are understandable but you should be more careful. Abecedare (talk) 19:40, 21 August 2015 (UTC)
 * You warned me too a few days ago. I have no idea what you were talking about. Heaven knows how many others have been inappropriately warned like this. - Kautilya3 (talk) 20:40, 21 August 2015 (UTC)
 * @Mz7 Thanks for you msg I understand (Especially with new editors), I think User:Ronakshah1990 main pro is (in short) not using Edit summary.
 * @Abecedare copyedits or practice wikipedia editing [| 1][| 2][| 3][| 4][| 5][| 6][| 7][| 8] Yes then I am send warn notification to user [| Addition of unsourced or improperly cited material]. defended or Reply its your opinion. Deleting Images 2 time [| Remove Image without Reason] & [| Remove Image with Reason]. Yes today I am also warned same user for article deleted without any reason.

 * (Note;- Ronakshah1990 Total edits (including deleted): 467, Main: 455 (97.43%), Talk: 5 (1.07%), User talk: 5 (1.07%), Wikipedia: 2 (0.43%), First edit: Feb 19, 2012 04:04:35)-- Bo ng an &reg;  &#8594;TalkToMe&#8592;  04:50, 22 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Ok, now I understand. When there is an issue to be discussed such as "the mention of the Hindi language needs a source", it is best to state that, either in the edit summary or on the article talk page. Giving a non-descriptive warning message is not going to achieve anything. Warning messages should be used either for new users who may not know the Wikipedia policies or to users who are being disruptive. For this particular issue, however, sources are needed in the lead only for contentious issues. The fact that dalit means oppressed in most Indian languages is common knowledge, hardly contentious. - Kautilya3 (talk) 09:02, 22 August 2015 (UTC)

August 2015
Hi Bongan. Thank you for your work on patrolling new pages and tagging for speedy deletion. I'm just letting you know that I declined your deletion request for Kepler-421, a page that you tagged for speedy deletion, because the criterion you used or the reason you gave does not cover this kind of page. ''I find that the "no context" criterion is widely misunderstood. The article must give no clue whatsoever as to what it's subject actually is. "Kepler-421 is a star" establishes what the subject is, therefore making it ineligible for deletion as having no context. '' Please take a moment to look at the suggested tasks for patrollers, criteria for speedy deletion, and particularly, the section covering non-criteria. Such pages are best tagged with proposed deletion or proposed deletion for biographies of living persons, or sent to the appropriate deletion discussion. Thanks! Beeblebrox (talk) 17:12, 22 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Additionally, III (single/ep) was also a bad tagging. How can "III  is the third EP from American singer, songwriter and actress, Jojo" be anything but indicating a specific subject of the article?  C628 (talk) 04:07, 25 August 2015 (UTC)

Tagging of The Needle Drop
Hi Bongan. I've removed all the tags you placed on The Needle Drop article -- when it comes to an article having so many issues, it's best to discuss and elaborate what these are on the article's talk page, especially when you believe that there are issues of NPOV and whatnot.

It is worrying to me that almost every post on this page consists of warning you, correcting you, or firmly advising you to be cautious. Every reference on that article is verifiable, all are cited from literature relevant to its subject. And the speed with which you posted the template after it was posted indicates that you could not possibly have given the article anything more than cursory attention. If you can pin point those references that you claim are unverifiable, then I will happily replace them. I think that is a fair and civil challenge. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Prolumbo (talk • contribs) 14:31, 30 September 2015 (UTC)

List of massacres in India
Dear User, I've noticed that you undid some changes in [] without giving any proper explanations. If you have objection or some strong point on that kindly discuss but do not do such thing. I've reverted the matter again. I've deleted some entries like 'kaliachak..', deganga..', 'canning..' etc. since they were listed in massacre list but not a single death news had been reported on those cases. The definition of massacres is pitty much clear, stating ' deliberate slaughter of many people'.

Hence if you follow this definition, those incidences do not fit on the list or article, hence should be dropped.

Non-free rationale for File:Indian ten rupee coin (2008 Reverse).jpg
Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Indian ten rupee coin (2008 Reverse).jpg. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under non-free content criteria, but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia is acceptable. Please go to the file description page, and edit it to include a non-free rationale.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified the non-free rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described in section F6 of the criteria for speedy deletion.

Request
Hi Bongan, I think you're a Bengali person; if you Bengali then why don't contributing on Bengali Wikipedia! I am Sorry of my suggestion. Sorry! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2405:204:9185:130E:0:0:285:C8B1 (talk) 18:56, 18 March 2018 (UTC)
 * Yes this is a very good suggestion and I entirely support this. I believe Bongan has lack of strong English skills, in that case it is better to contribute in Bengali wikipedia as he has a stronger language skills in Bengali. Please think about it. -- D Big X ray ᗙ  20:29, 6 December 2018 (UTC)
 * User:2405:204:9185:130E:0:0:285:C8B1 Thanks for suggestion, but I am not Bengali Bo ng an &reg;   &#8594;TalkToMe&#8592;  07:10, 7 December 2018 (UTC)
 * User:DBigXray how you know I have a stronger language skills in Bengali or not? Bo ng an &reg;   &#8594;TalkToMe&#8592;  07:32, 7 December 2018 (UTC)
 * You have mentioned this in your Userpage, that you have native/expert level skills in Bengali.-- D Big X ray ᗙ  07:35, 7 December 2018 (UTC)
 * In page also added Marathi and Hindi why suggested only Bengali than or because of Category:User *-N ? Bo ng an &reg;   &#8594;TalkToMe&#8592;  08:08, 7 December 2018 (UTC)
 * yes, You have mentioned that becuse your user page says, এ ব্যবহারকারীর বাংলা ভাষার উপরে মাতৃভাষার মতন ধারণা রয়েছে। which google translates to "This user has the same concept as mother language on Bangla language." so you are saying that you have the best grip on Bengali, as compared to other languages. But after all this is just a suggestion, and my personal opinion. regards -- D Big X ray ᗙ  12:14, 7 December 2018 (UTC)

Kamarupa
Kamarupa has nothing to do with Bengal History. So please do not add the template there. Chaipau (talk) 12:06, 17 July 2018 (UTC)
 * Yes Kamarupa at its height covered the entire Brahmaputra Valley, North Bengal, northern part of Bangladesh, and West Bengal. Its already mention in page. Bo ng an &reg;   &#8594;TalkToMe&#8592;  12:45, 17 July 2018 (UTC)
 * You may add the History of Bengal template in North Bengal, Sylhet etc. which were part of Kamarupa, but you cannot put the History of Bengal template on Kamarupa. Chaipau (talk) 13:08, 17 July 2018 (UTC)

Help with MR?
Hi Bongan! Hope you don't mind me asking here but I saw you speak mr and was wondering if you could take a look at something for me on mrwiktionary. I am a global sysop and while patrolling and removing spam I came across some mass entries that appear to have been part of a coordinated event but look badly translated and out of scope. The content for one reads: (FUEL) कार्यशाळेने संगणक प्रणालीं करिता प्रमाणित शब्द :कप्प्यातील माहिती which according to google translates roughly as "certified workshop word for computer systems" which leads back to this which is certainly out of scope and promotional but I wanted to get a native speaker's opinion before moving forward at Meta.
