Rtksss (talk) 18:57, 2 March 2025 (UTC)Information has been added here at will with political bias. The allegations against him have not yet been proven, and he is not yet a fugitive from the court. It is also not true that the protesters are drug addicts. He did not say this to everyone in general. Moreover, how can a political person's infobox be criminal?[reply]

Not Done: it's not clear what exact changes you want to be made. Please mention the specific changes in a "change X to Y" format. and provide a reliable source if appropriate.

It does though seem like some claims on the page are exaggerated and might be biased. So I might try and fix some of them. Theaxeisaxe (talk) 20:19, 2 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

political persons cannot be criminals? Arknights12 (talk) 12:48, 3 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I am concerned that this article violates Wikipedia's Biographies of Living Persons (BLP) policy by including serious allegations about Mohammad A. Arafat without citing reliable sources.

Some issues that need immediate review:

1. Claims about an arrest warrant and being a fugitive – These statements are not backed by verifiable sources and could be defamatory.

2. Statements about government dissolution and protests – These need strong citations from neutral, reputable media outlets.

3. Potential bias – The article presents accusations without including Arafat’s response or other perspectives, violating Wikipedia's Neutral Point of View (NPOV) policy.

Per Wikipedia's BLP policy, any unsourced or poorly sourced contentious material about a living person must be removed immediately. I request an urgent review and removal of unverified claims.

Thank you. TahiHasan (talk) 09:27, 3 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

1- He hasn't appeared before courts and law enforcement has searched for him and raided his house in gulshan. Daily star has reported about the arrest warrant and tbs has confirmed that law enforcement has searched his home. Both references have been added.

2- A UN fact finding report found evidence of a brutal and systematic repression of the protests. Added it to the page. I think the UN is pretty neutral. Parliament was dissolved as reported by the president's office. Added report by daily star.

3 - Feel free to add Arafat's perspective by following NPOV policy. Arknights12 (talk) 11:45, 3 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The Controversy section contains a misrepresentation of Arafat’s statement—"some are drug addicts" has been wrongly changed to "all are drug addicts." This alters the meaning and should be corrected for accuracy.

Additionally, the same incident is mentioned twice, creating unnecessary repetition. I request a review to fix the distortion and remove redundant content per Wikipedia’s Neutral Point of View (NPOV) and Biographies of Living Persons (BLP) policies.

it was a significant cause of the outrage against Arafat at the time. One of his most notable remarks made during his career. I added the entire statement with a better reference from ittefaq. Hope that clarifies it. Arknights12 (talk) 11:42, 6 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The section about Arafat allegedly ordering the shutdown of private TV channels is mentioned twice in slightly different ways.

The first instance is in the paragraph discussing his involvement in the 2024 Bangladesh Quota Reform Movement and his alleged role in suspending broadcasts (with specific mention of WhatsApp).

The second instance appears again later, under the "Controversy" section, stating that he ordered the shutdown of private TV channels during the same protests.

Please Removed redundant content to improve clarity and avoid repetition, in line with Wikipedia's Manual of Style (WP:MOS) and guidelines for conciseness and clarity (WP:V, WP:NPOV)

Dear Wikipedia Community,

I would like to raise a concern regarding a Wikipedia administrator's handling of edits on [Article Name]. It appears that the admin is selectively adding information while opposing valid contributions that provide necessary context. Specifically, the ORCHR report has been included as relevant to the page, yet the response from the concerned party has been deemed irrelevant. This creates an imbalance and contradicts Wikipedia’s Neutral Point of View (NPOV) policy.

I believe that if a report is considered important enough to be included, then the response addressing it should also be part of the article to ensure fairness and neutrality. However, attempts to discuss this have been met with resistance.

I kindly request an independent review of this issue to determine whether the admin’s approach aligns with Wikipedia’s core policies. Transparency and fairness are essential to maintaining Wikipedia’s credibility.

I have been contributing to this discussion with explanations and without bias. However, I have noticed repeated warnings directed at me without valid justification. At the same time, edits are being made to the page that appear to reflect bias. Wikipedia's guidelines emphasize neutrality, and I believe all contributions should be evaluated fairly based on these principles.

Thank you for your time and consideration. TahiHasan (talk) 07:17, 6 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
