Editing bn.wikipedia, in one page

  1. Make an account. Editing without one shows your IP to everyone.
  2. Start by fixing one thing in an article you already know well.
  3. Every fact needs a source. A newspaper link is fine. A Facebook post is not.
  4. Write in plain, neutral Bangla. No "সর্বশ্রেষ্ঠ", no "অসাধারণ".
  5. Stuck? Ask on the article's talk page, or ask me on IRC.

Every few months a few of us do an edit-a-thon after Shell Saturday. Next one: when someone brings snacks.
