This needs a heap of work

Because at the moment it is just copypasta combined with advertising. I think this article should focus more on an encyclopedic point of view. IllogicMink ^{talk about it} 07:44, 13 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Broad sheet

Hi! Broad sheet is used in the infobox to specify the newspaper format. The problem is this newspaper format article does not exist end Broad sheet is currently a redirection to broad sheet glass which has obviously nothing to do with newspaper. Could you fix that?

Issue with the previous image of PA's cover

The infobox cover image was using Prothom Alo's issue from 2021(!) which featured tribute to former PM Sheikh Hasina on her birthday. Being the most powerful political leader at that time in Bangladesh, it was customary for not only Prothom Alo but also any other newspaper to show tribute on her birthday. The infobox cover image, added only few days ago, was certain to create or, at least, had the potential to spark further controversy as after Sheikh Hasina's ouster Prothom Alo is already facing some sort of debates on its previous role in Bangladesh's socio-historic background and thus addition of the image certainly does not reflect NPOV. Bengali Wikipedia, on the other hand, uses a more neutral image, the cover of the first issue of the newspaper, which is also a common practise for enwiki in Featured Articles. Therefore, I am changing the infobox cover image from somewhat random (or I was told not to speculate) issue to the first issue of the newspaper. — Meghmollar2017 (U T C) — 09:05, 31 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
