Copyediting

I just did a big copyedit/once-over of this article. It needs a lot of work yet; there are basically no sources cited and I don't know anything about Bangladeshi history or journalism. I've tried to clean up the English as best I could, but there are still sentences I have no idea what to do with yet.

There are also a few sentence flow problems; for example, not all of the information is presented chronologically, which makes reading awkward. Your copyediting/rewriting help would be greatly appreciated! wia (talk) 19:12, 5 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Well, looks like I've done all I can with this article, seeing as there are very few English-language references to back up information found in the article. The only thing I've been able to conclusively establish from English resources is that Abed Khan worked at Kaler Kantho and resigned. I can't find anything about his participation in the Bangladesh Liberation War. I even checked JSTOR but I can't seem to come up with anything. Looks like Bengali-language resources are the way to go from here. Hopefully there'll be some good references. wia (talk) 18:38, 6 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I found some sources on The Daily Star's website that corroborate his involvement as an editor with a bunch of newspapers in the last 10-20 years. I've updated the article's references accordingly. Unfortunately, I still can't find anything linking Abed Khan to the Bangladesh Liberation War in any way (at least English sources; other, non-English sources may be out there!). I'll keep looking though; perhaps I can find something in French. wia (talk) 20:41, 6 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Finally, I've found a source from a recent The Diplomat article written by none other than Abed Khan himself, confirming his involvement as a freedom fighter in the 1971 Bangladesh Independence War. I don't have sources on any of the student protests he was involved with, or any of the generals he served under. It's been a few years now and nothing's turned up, so I'm going to scrub them from the article. wia (talk) 04:27, 25 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

There are now only two unsourced claims in the entire article:

1) did Abed Khan flee to India after the events of Operation Searchlight on March 25, 1971?

2) did Abed Khan in fact broadcast the radio show Jobab dao in June 1971?

I cannot find sources for these claims, but I am loathe to remove them outright. Everything else has either been sourced or removed. wia (talk) 04:40, 31 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
