Hi David, I have been trying to keep a very necessary paragraph on pronunciation of the word "Bangladesh" on [[Bangladesh]] page and also another similar pronunciation para on the word "Bangla" in the [[Bengali Language]] page . But paragraphs were often deleted and page was often reverted back by sysop "Ragib" & sysop "Idleguy" and lastly by sysop "Dmcdevit" . These three sysops worked as a team and did 3RR by themselves . This paragraph is very important, because it can remove confusion and reduce harassment on Bangladeshi people . Wrong pronunciation of "Bangladesh" leads to an incorrect meaning . The sound of "a" in "Bang" & "la" should be pronounced like the sound of "a" in the word "Lava", for correct pronunciation . Which most non-native speakers don't do, even some Bangladeshis, when they are talking with non-native speakers . I'm looking forward to solve this issue . Please start a mediation process to solve this problem . Many thanks . I've already expressed and exchanged opinion about this issue with "Ragib" in [[Bengali Language]] and [[Bangladesh]] discussion page and also in our own Talk/discussion page . Please see those . Admin/SysOp "Dmcdevit" performed many unethical steps outside of the Wikipedia Policy . "Dmcdevit", "Ragib" and "Idleguy" deleted, reverted even my improved version of that paragraph, again and again . Please look into it . I'm looking for OnWiki (Public) type of mediation to re-include this paragraph and an warning be issued for these SysOps, or, revocation of their privilege which they have mis-used . Many thanks for solving the problem related to post in my own page. - Tarikash IP:69.237.236.7
