Commercial links
Thanks for your interest, but please do not insert commercial web site links in Bangladesh. The Pharmaceutical link you added was purely a commercial website... so please refrain from link spamming. Thanks. --Ragib 04:36, 23 Jun 2005 (UTC)

 * Hi Maudood, thanks for your enthusiasm. However, wikipedia's official policy on External links prohibit linking to somewhat unnecessary resources. For more detailed info on wikipedia's policy on links, see External links. Linking to official Government websites is ok, but linking to each and every website claiming to be a portal would leave the article with a vast collection of links, which is not a good thing for an encyclopedia, as Wikipedia's official policy also state What_Wikipedia is not. I do appreciate your work, but please contribute by editing articles, not adding links to portals, some of which may have commercial links. Thanks --Ragib 05:59, 23 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Voting for Biography collaboration of the week
Hi, the article Sheikh Hasina has been nominated for voting at "Biography collaboration of the week". What this will do is that for a week, people of the team would contribute to make the article enriched, balanced and complete. Since this is an article about a Bangladeshi politician and a rich article would promote Bangladesh more, I think regardless of political beliefs we can vote for it. Even if you are opposed to her political ideology, you can be sure that both her positive and negative sides would be presented in a Collaboration of the week article. Please vote at Biography Collaboration of the Week by signing your name with # ~. Thanks. --Ragib 04:16, 24 Jun 2005 (UTC)
