IPBE

Hi, Thanks for giving me the exemption. However I still can't edit ru:Привидение, которое не возвращается. Any idea why? Yann (talk) 12:15, 2 August 2024 (UTC)

@Yann GIPBE does not override local IP blocks. Your IP might be blocked locally on ruwiki. In this case, you will also need a local IPBE on ruwiki. ~ Yahya (talk • contribs) 18:18, 2 August 2024 (UTC)

Global interface editors/Requests

Hello! Do we have something like Global sysops/Requests where I could suggest interface changes in projects where there are no interface administrators? Nurtenge (talk) 11:00, 15 August 2024 (UTC)

@Nurtenge, You can make this request at Steward requests/Miscellaneous. Global sysops or stewards will process it. ~ Yahya (talk • contribs) 11:14, 15 August 2024 (UTC)

Thank you -- Nurtenge (talk) 12:20, 15 August 2024 (UTC)

Page rename proposal

আমি প্রস্তাব করছি যে বিএএফ শাহীন কলেজ পৃষ্ঠাটির নাম পরিবর্তন করে বিএএফ শাহীন কলেজসমূহ রাখা হোক।

কারণ:

এই পৃষ্ঠাটি কোনো একটি নির্দিষ্ট কলেজ নিয়ে নয়, বরং বাংলাদেশ বিমান বাহিনীর অধীনে পরিচালিত একাধিক কলেজের সম্মিলিত তালিকা উপস্থাপন করে। তাই বহুবচন "কলেজসমূহ" শব্দটি এই প্রেক্ষাপটে অধিক যথাযথ ও যথার্থ। 0ximjub43r (talk) 01:20, 26 June 2025 (UTC)

বর্তমান নামই দ্ব্যর্থতা নিরসন পাতা হিসেবে থাকতে পারে, আমি এতে কোনো সমস্যা দেখছি না। অথবা ‘বিএএফ শাহীন কলেজের তালিকা’ নামকরণ করা যেতে পারে।

এরকম আলোচনা বাংলা উইকিপিডিয়াতে করা উচিত, যাতে বৃহত্তর কমিউনিটি আলোচনায় অংশ নেওয়ার সুযোগ পায়। ~ Yahya (talk • contribs) 09:13, 26 June 2025 (UTC)

Request for Review of Draft Article: BAF Shaheen College Kurmitola

Here is the link to the draft:

I have tried to use reliable sources and provide neutral, well-structured content, but as I am still learning Wikipedia’s standards, your expert feedback would be very helpful. 0ximjub43r (talk) 10:53, 1 July 2025 (UTC)

Spam article on bnwiki

Hey there. I noticed you are on the antispam contacts list, so though I should reach out. I recently completed an investigation into a massive cross-wiki spam operation, in which a network of accounts and IP proxies published articles about David Woodard across hundreds of Wikipedia projects; this includes the Bengali Wikipedia, the article for which was created by an IP proxy presumably using a machine translation. The global stewards have already deleted more than 200 articles from smaller Wikipedias, and individual projects have started deleting the pages or opening deletion discussions. I wanted to let you know about this, just in case you think it might be necessary to begin deletion proceedings against the article on bnwiki. --Grnrchst (talk) 22:03, 2 July 2025 (UTC)
