M. R. Kabir

I removed the speedy tag from M. R. Kabir because the subject is a university president. Vice-chancellor is the term for university president used in Bangladesh, the United Kingdom, and some other Commonwealth countries. Лисан аль-Гаиб (talk) 15:07, 2 January 2026 (UTC)

thanks for letting me know Лисан аль-Гаиб! Looked further into the BLP policies, so then based on what you mentioned the subject meets WP:NACADEMIC? EM (talk) 15:40, 2 January 2026 (UTC)

Yes, I think so. Лисан аль-Гаиб (talk) 15:54, 2 January 2026 (UTC)

Hi @Eucalyptusmint, Happy New Year! I recently worked on this article and wondering if you can review it?

Thanks in advance! Zuck28 (talk) 22:30, 2 January 2026 (UTC)

Hello! @Zuck28. Happy New Year to you as well and yep, I can take a look. EM (talk) 22:51, 2 January 2026 (UTC)

Zuck28, had some time to review the article, looks like the subject meets WP:NATH, just one small note, I think there's few sentences that could use refs (I noted it on the page). Thanks! EM (talk) 21:31, 3 January 2026 (UTC)

Thank you for your feedback. I will try to fix the issues you highlighted. Zuck28 (talk) 15:36, 4 January 2026 (UTC)

January–February 2026 NPP drive - Phase 2

NPP unreviewed article statistics as of February 02, 2026

Welcome to Phase 2 of the January–February 2026 NPP drive. During Phase 1, we reviewed 16,658 articles and 4,416 redirects, and there is currently a backlog of 16,475 articles and 23,782 redirects in the queue. Fantastic job! Completing 22,502 patrols in the first phase made a significant dent in the backlog. Let's keep our foot on the gas for Phase 2, and I hope we can achieve even more reviews than Phase 1. Best of luck!

Start patrolling!

PageTriage

An attempt was made to get the New Pages Feed to sort by date marked as reviewed instead of date created. However we had to revert it due to bugs. We may try again in the future. You can subscribe to the Phabricator ticket if you're interested in following along.

Reminders:

• You can access live chat with patrollers on the New Page Patrol Discord.

May 2026 NPP backlog drive – Points award

		The Invisible Barnstar
		This award is given in recognition of Eucalyptusmint for accumulating at least 5 points in the May 2026 NPP backlog drive. Your contributions helped review 14884 articles during the drive. Thank you so much for taking part and helping reduce the backlog! – DreamRimmer ■ 15:58, 12 June 2026 (UTC)

July 2026

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war. This means that you are repeatedly reverting content back to how you think it should be, despite knowing that other editors disagree. Once it is known that there is a disagreement, users are expected to collaborate with others, avoid editing disruptively, and try to reach a consensus – rather than repeatedly reverting the changes made by other users.

Important points to note:

1. Edit warring is disruptive behavior – regardless of how many reverts you have made;
2. Do not engage in edit warring – even if you believe that you are right.

You need to discuss the disagreement on the article's talk page and work towards a revision that represents consensus among everyone involved. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution if discussions reach an impasse. In some cases, it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you continue to engage in edit warring, you may be blocked from editing. Zalaraz (talk) 00:04, 15 July 2026 (UTC)

Welcome and introduction to contentious topics

Hi Eucalyptusmint! I noticed your contributions and wanted to welcome you to the Wikipedia community. I hope you like it here and decide to stay.

I've noticed that you've expressed an interest in the region of South Asia (India, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh and Nepal), including but not limited to history, politics, ethnicity, and social groups. Unfortunately, due to a history of conflict and disruptive editing, it has been designated a contentious topic and is subject to some strict rules. This designation is broadly construed, so if you have to ask whether a particular edit is covered, you should assume it is.

The rule that most affects new editors is the prohibition on making any edit related to Indian military history or castes, including on talk pages, unless you are logged into an account that is at least 30 days old and has made at least 500 edits.

Any edits you make contrary to the contentious topic procedures are likely to be reverted, and repeated violations can lead to your being blocked from editing. If you have any questions about the contentious topic procedure, you can ask for help!
