 * So it was clearly taken early enough, but is there any evidence that this was actually published before 1950? VernoWhitney (talk) 19:54, 15 August 2010 (UTC)
 * The photo was published in his college magazine (yearbook). The same photo was used in the "Wanted" posters when he was a fugitive. All of these were prior to the subject's death in 1930. As a sidenote, Banglapedia does not own copyright to almost all of its images. It has used photos scanned from old publications / magazines / books. --Ragib (talk) 20:23, 15 August 2010 (UTC)

Used as a Reference
While there is indeed a lot of copyvio going on in many pages, I would like to point out that a lot of the links are solely due to Banglapedia being used as a reference.

While probably not directly linked here, I also noticed a lot of copyvio content in the Category:Districts of Bangladesh articles.

I will try checking some pages and if necessary, reverting them to versions prior to copyvio. --Ragib (talk) 08:53, 15 August 2010 (UTC)


 * Thank you! That would be very helpful. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 15:31, 15 August 2010 (UTC)
