Nice work here! I do believe however that the collage needs to include faces from the CHT. Raja Debashish Roy and the painter Kanak Chakma could be options. --Bazaan (talk) 18:53, 22 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Indeed, kudos to the relentless efforts by Samudrakula. About the image, it will be hard to get non-free images of these personalities, until then I guess we could include a random image of Chakma, Marma or other ethnic groups of Bangladesh to represent the indigenous peoples in the infobox.--Zayeem ^(talk) 08:17, 23 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Dude you need to stop being an almost sockpuppet like puppet for people like Samudrakula and Nafsadh.--117.103.82.14 (talk) 14:24, 2 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Definition of Bangladeshis

While 115ash is trying to rewrite the very definition of what Bangladeshi means to tune what this article he thinks should be about (descendants of Bangladeshis), Bangladeshies shall mean exactly what it is supposed to mean, defined by the laws and constitution of Bangladesh, and what it means when comes up in conversations and documents: Citizen of Bangladesh. That is what it means and what people around the world use it to mean. Now, 115ash probably wants so strongly to believe Jawed Karim, Sal Khan and Shefali Chy as Bangladeshis so as to tune the definition. However, acc to Bangladeshi citizenship law, both Karim and Khan are supposed to retain Jus sanguinis citizenship of Bangladesh. nafSadh did say 17:29, 27 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

So what about the rest of South Asians? Aren't Bangladeshi American and British Bangladeshi Bangladeshis? --115ash^→(☏) 09:19, 28 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

They are Bangladeshi descend, by definition. According to statute, most of them are Jus sanguinis Bangladeshi (national)s but some of them might be just Bangladeshi descend. nafSadh did say 13:28, 28 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Bangladeshi is legal-political identity, while Bengali is an ethnic-linguistic identity. Therefore the identity needs to be extended only in legal terms. Therefore only citizens of Bangladesh, including dual-citizens and Jus sanguinis citizens are Bangladeshis, and no one else. It must be noted that citizenship does not extend in absentia to the third generation, hence there can be no third generatino non-resident Bangladeshi outside of countries where dual-citizenship apply. Aditya^{(talk • contribs)} 14:33, 28 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

None responded to my question. Both of you are just talking nonsense. --115ash^→(☏) 08:05, 29 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

No. It is not nonsense. It is just something you don't like. You have to learn some time that whatever you don't like is not nonsense. As for your question, can you try asking it again? Please notice:

You have two questions. Not one.
Your first question is impossible to understand - "So what about the rest of South Asians?" Really, what about them? Why are we discussing the rest of the South Asians?
Your second question - "Aren't Bangladeshi American and British Bangladeshi Bangladeshis?" - has nothing to do with your first question or the comment made by Nafsadh.
That second question has already been answered. BUT, if you cared to read the "nonsense" you would have known by now that Bangladeshis can be American and Bangladeshi at the same time only up to the second generation.
But, the question and the answer are equally irrelevant. You have missed the whole point of the comment you responded to.

Is this clear enough for you? Aditya^{(talk • contribs)} 15:19, 29 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Note (warning! legalese ahead) : Though it is true that US Citizens of Bangladeshi descend hold the right to enter Bangladesh without visa (No Visa required), it is unclear whether someone retains Bangladeshi citizenship when they receives US citizenship through naturalization; because when someone receives US citizenship they has to pledge their allegiance to the US and according to Bangladeshi law, someone loses their Bangladeshi citizenship when they express allegiance to some other country. (This is not true for UK and most other countries as people do not have to pledge allegiance to receive citizenship of those countries). However, someone born in the US while at least one of their parents was an alien in the US at their time of birth automatically receives Jus sanguinis Bangladeshi citizenship. For generations beyond 2 (in US and other countries) , parents have to register the birth at birth with Bangladeshi embassy or High commission and thus the descend will receive Bangladeshi citizenship. – nafSadh did say 16:46, 29 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The current should be OK. Aditya, HOLD ON! --115ash^→(☏) 08:14, 30 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Infobox montage images

There were 4 non-free images being used in the infobox montage and that use is not allowed under our non-free media policy. Under NFCI#10 it specifically allows Pictures of deceased persons, in articles about that person, provided that ever obtaining a free close substitute is not reasonably likely but these uses are not the subjects own article. You should search for freely licenced images for this article if you think you really need images of more people. ww2censor (talk) 12:04, 15 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Bangladeshies vs bangladeshis

Bangladeshies should be used in lieu of Bangladeshis, because it is a simple grammar rule to use "es" after any vowel. Similar as chaina --> Chinese. Shafkatsharif (talk) 16:08, 11 December 2015 (UTC) Shafkatsharif 11/11/15[reply]

The common spelling in English is "Bangladeshis". The plural of a word ending in "y" is "ies", but words ending in "i" do not become "ies" as a rule. Cordless Larry (talk) 19:31, 4 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

So... 'Bout that Article Name Change

I have reverted the page move. "Bangladeshis" is by far the most common spelling. Cordless Larry (talk) 19:36, 4 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

New ethnicities

It seems some people have so much time for nonsense that they are creating new ethnicities per Orginal research which is Not Wiki work. People should know that Bangladesh 🇧🇩 is a nation state n 98% Bangladeshies are Bengalis. How on earth Chittagong, Sylhetis are not Bengalis rather than other ethnicities!? People are welcome for Further discussion. Thanks n stay with authentic source n stop 🛑 bullying people with baseless claims!!-2A0A:A540:DBAC:0:51B1:DEBC:EC2C:357E (talk) 08:03, 25 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Religious numbers don't add up

The "Religion" percentages in the infobox currently add up to 103,4%. For that reason, they should probably be corrected or removed. Geolodus (talk) 09:09, 24 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
