Birthday of Sheikh Mujibur Rahman
- ... that the Bangladesh Krishak Sramik Awami League ordered a 55-pound (25 kg) cake on Bangladeshi president Sheikh Mujibur's 55th birthday?
- ALT1: ... that the birthday of Sheikh Mujibur Rahman was declared a public holiday in Bangladesh in 1972 to commemorate a visit from Indian prime minister Indira Gandhi? Source: https://www.kalbela.com/ajkerpatrika/joto-mot-toto-path/73707
- ALT2: ... that Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, founder and first president of Bangladesh, had to experience his birthday in jail eight times?

- Comment I have done some copyediting of the hooks. I will also give the article a basic copyedit. Therefore, I will leave the reviewing to someone else. Trainsandotherthings (talk) 19:09, 18 June 2024 (UTC)
@Mehedi Abedin and Trainsandotherthings: Much to whinge about here I'm afraid. Only ALT2 passes WP:DYKINT and it would need an end-of-sentence citation in any event. This could still do with a robust copyedit, which I see it's been waiting for. (I tried, but I physically can't read WP:PARAGRAPHs of that length.) Also, big dislike on using a two year old QPQ when we have a heavy backlog, but WP:QPQ specifically states that QPQs do not expire, so I'll take it. This is also long enough, new enough, copyvio-free, and the image is Creative Commons. I think the first two things you need to do are a) give ALT2 an end-of-sentence citation, and b) break up the paragraphs into smaller chunks.--Launchballer 10:29, 30 July 2024 (UTC)
- I find Alt1 to be the most interesting. I find Alt2 to be confusing. What does Indira Gandhi have to do with the birthday of Rahman? VR (Please ping on reply) 13:18, 30 July 2024 (UTC)
- @Launchballer: Done. Please check the article now. I made the paragraphs smaller except "Bangabandhu's perspective" and "Observances" sections because they are already small. Added end-of-sentence citations for all hook. Let me know if there is anything left to do. Mehedi Abedin 14:55, 30 July 2024 (UTC)
I've given the History section a trim mostly for concision, but this should be good to go.--Launchballer 12:31, 3 August 2024 (UTC)
Needs a copyedit for poor grammar. The "Observances" section is not supported by the source, which states what happened in 2019, not what must happen every year. ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 11:57, 4 August 2024 (UTC)
- @AirshipJungleman29: I edited the observances section a little bit because the source talk about the day's observances in 2019. But the source also says that it is an public holiday so I kept that part without editing. If you could say in which parts I need copyedit then it will help me. Mehedi Abedin 16:44, 5 August 2024 (UTC)
- The "Bangabandhu's perspective" subsection needs copyediting; I am not sure if it is even WP:DUE. ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 16:50, 5 August 2024 (UTC)
- @AirshipJungleman29: Ok, give me some day, I will do it. Mehedi Abedin 16:53, 5 August 2024 (UTC)
- @AirshipJungleman29: Done. Is it okay now? Or if you can confirm that the subsection is not WP:DUE then I would erase the section and copy some of it to the History subsection for the proposed hook. Mehedi Abedin 07:15, 6 August 2024 (UTC)
- I think that would be best Mehedi Abedin. ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 14:28, 8 August 2024 (UTC)
- @AirshipJungleman29: Done. Mehedi Abedin 22:14, 8 August 2024 (UTC)
- This is almost two months old. @AirshipJungleman29:, have your concerns been resolved?--Launchballer 07:57, 13 August 2024 (UTC)
- To be honest, a lot of the details on how Bangabandhu spent his birthdays (e.g. "He spent his birthdays resting and receiving gifts from his wife Sheikh Fazilatunnesa Mujib.") don't seem encyclopedic at all. ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 11:41, 15 August 2024 (UTC)
- @AirshipJungleman29:, Is it okay now? I trimmed the history section. Mehedi Abedin 12:59, 15 August 2024 (UTC)
