- ALT1: ... that after a massacre that took place there, the village of Sohagpur was renamed "the village of widows"? Source: Rising BD
Udin's statement is uncontroversial, so it doesn't need to be attributed to him. Schierbecker (talk) 04:57, 20 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@Schierbecker: The ALT1 is good also. Mehedi Abedin 11:47, 20 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Article length, hook length, neutrality etc. looks good. As an English speaker, I don't have a good sense of whether Rising BD is a reliable source. I didn't see any mentions at WP:RSN, so I'm going to presume it is reliable enough.

@Schierbecker: The same fact of ALT1 mentioned in other sources in the article such as BBC. And Rising BD is reliable. Mehedi Abedin 10:51, 21 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

WikiProject assessments for quality and importance

I have rated this article as of Start class and Low importance because the article does not explain the roles played by some of the people who are named in the article. Merely naming a person is not enough, if the article names a person, it also needs to explain who the person is and what role they have played in the context of the article. The article also needs to be more specific about the enmity between villagers and the named people, and how it is relevant to the events that followed. I have also removed the banner for WikiProject Law Enforcement because I cannot see how this article falls into the scope of that project, as no mention is made of law enforcement being involved in these events, only military personnel. While law enforcement authorities may have investigated these events, they do not appear to be involved in committing the crimes being investigated. - Cameron Dewe (talk) 21:36, 8 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Cameron Dewe: Understand. I will fix the problems. Mehedi Abedin 22:09, 8 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
