[edit] Self-references
Hi. The reasoning for Wikipedia articles not containing references to Wikipedia is as follows: Wikipedia articles are, or should be, geared primarily toward a general encyclopedia reader, not a Wikiepdia editor. It seems inappropriate that a regular encylopedia user would read an article on internet sock puppets and be directed to a Wikipedia policy page for further reference. Plus, remember that our articles are used by a lot of other websites without the Wikipedia name. See Wikipedia:Avoid self-references for further info.

- I would also like to point out that I did put a link to Wikipedia:sockpuppet on Talk:Internet sock puppet on May 17. Talk pages are the appropriate place for these kind of links. Taco Deposit | Talk-o to Taco 17:52, Jun 2, 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Child Labour in Bangladesh
Hi Mate
I'm writing to you to submit a request: To start an article on Child Labour in Bangladesh
The situation is quite bad and has been so for many years now. Those of us born there know that the problem is very wide-spread. Especially in regards to Child domestic work, which is a very common practice in almost all middle and upper class homes in Bangladesh
I'm in complete shock to find no specialised article on this subject. Then again, the attitude in Bangladesh is to find the notion of Child Labour quite normal, especially when it comes to children working in households.
Some of the most common forms of exploitation of children (in the field of employment) are:
- Breaking bricks and stones
- Agriculture
- Baggage carrying
- Loading/unloading goods
- Street Begging
- Domestic Labour
These areas see the most open and widespread use of child labour, where salary of a child employee would often be 60/70% less than that of an adult
But I'm by no means a specialist in this subject. Nor am I well linked within Wikipedia. I'm just a part timer. I DO NOT have enough statistical knowledge to start a fair article on this subject.
So if you are a specialist in Child Labour subject, would you please consider starting an article about Child Labour in Bangladesh. The situation (even historically) is so grave that an article in wikipedia is very necessary and would grately improve awareness on this subject worldwide (in my opinion).
I will try and provide you with as much information on this subject as possible, if you require so at any time. Should you not consider starting such article, I would be very grateful if you could point me to the direction of an editor who would and I apologise in advance to have wasted your time.
Thanks you very much in advance. -- Ash sul 23:22, 26 March 2007 (UTC)
