To reconcile (or at least better explain) inconsistencies in various poorly sourced film lists, director bios, and to a lesser extent actor bios, for films produced in East Pakistan (1956-1971) and Bangladesh (1971-1979). Google snippet view is tantalizing, but inadequate.

== ref verification for "Law of holes" ==

{{refbegin}}

* {{cite journal |no-cat=yes<!-- prevents error categorization --> |date=1983 |title=Is That Dirt Being Shoveled? |work=Bankers magazine, volume 166 |page=61 |url=https://babel.hathitrust.org/cgi/ls?field1=ocr;q1=%22Is%20That%20Dirt%20Being%20Shoveled%22;a=srchls}}

<!-- Wikipedia articles being improved. -->

For [[Law of Holes]], where ref #4 cites '''"Is That Dirt Being Shovelled''' [''sic''] '''?". The Bankers Magazine. 166: 61. 1964.''' But HathiTrust results, and the volume numeration, suggest the text was published in 1983. It would be helpful to refer to the source, and verify whether it's the original article or else a mention of the 1964 piece.

:{{ping|Hiplibrarianship}} I've been futzing around with Google Books' Snippet view [https://books.google.com/books?id=6bISAQAAMAAJ&q=%22Let+me+tell+you+about+the+law+of+holes:+If+you+find+yourself+in+a+hole,+stop+digging.%22&dq=%22Let+me+tell+you+about+the+law+of+holes:+If+you+find+yourself+in+a+hole,+stop+digging.%22&hl=en&newbks=1&newbks_redir=0&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwi8pYCm7IXrAhUkgnIEHSsJDS4Q6AEwAHoECAIQAg], and I'm fairly confident it's {{strong|Vol. 166 no. 3. May–June 1983. p. 61}}. Also as far as I can tell the quotation lacks any context. I'm pretty sure there isn't actually an article; it's just a quotation below the actual article to fill up space on the page: {{tq|IS THAT DIRT BEING SHOVELED? "Let me tell you about the law of holes: If you find yourself in a hole, stop digging."}} Seeing as both HathiTrust and Google Books decidedly only have hits for this quotation in 1983 and not 1964, I believe you're right to change the citation. I might be able to get you a PDF of the page, but I'm doubtful it'll provide any more information than what I've told you and what's in the Google Books link above.

For [[Rahimuddin_Khan]]

Thanks, <span style="border:1px solid #93010b;background:#ef0000;padding:2px;color:#efe6e6;text-shadow:black 0.2em 0.2em 0.3em"><font face="Arial">&nbsp;'''McKhan'''&nbsp;</font></span>&nbsp;^{'''([[User talk:McKhan|talk]])'''} 17:19, 11 August 2020 (UTC)

:{{ping|McKhan}} You do know that the second book is sourced from Wikipedia? It's simply a collection of Wikipedia articles published by [[Books LLC]], who specialize in doing just that. So reference #9 in [[Rahimuddin Khan]] cites itself as a source! —[[User:Bruce1ee|Bruce1ee]]^{[[User talk:Bruce1ee|''talk'']]} 17:32, 11 August 2020 (UTC)

::That's what exactly I have tried to explain to the editor but he doesn't care. Please see [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Rahimuddin_Khan&diff=prev&oldid=967029329&diffmode=source here], [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Zakir_Husain_(politician)&diff=prev&oldid=967067125&diffmode=source here] and [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Rahimuddin_Khan&diff=prev&oldid=972363479&diffmode=source here]. He has used various IPs and two different IDs, [[User:PashtunTribal548|PashtunTribal548]] and [[User:Kkhan0818|Kkhan0818]], claiming that he is an "assoicate" or "relative" of [[Zakir Hussain]] and [[Rahimuddin Khan]] and they belonged to [[Afridi]] and [[Kheshgi]] tribes. I just want to make sure that the sources jive up with the edits made by this editor. Thank you for your kind help. <span style="border:1px solid #93010b;background:#ef0000;padding:2px;color:#efe6e6;text-shadow:black 0.2em 0.2em 0.3em"><font face="Arial">&nbsp;'''McKhan'''&nbsp;</font></span>&nbsp;^{'''([[User talk:McKhan|talk]])'''} 17:48, 11 August 2020 (UTC)

:::{{ping|McKhan}} As to the first, if someone claims that this work supports a given statement on Wikipedia, they should be able to pinpoint to the relevant entry/page. Since Rahimuddin Khan does not start with a letter between B and H and since (alphabetically-arranged) encyclopedias typically do not have an index, I don't see how I would ever find what they rely on. As to the second, since you seem to know that it is a collection of Wikipedia articles and since the publisher specifically says so (see [https://booksllc.net/book.cfm?id=3481152 here]: "composed entirely of articles from Wikipedia that we have edited and redesigned into a book format"), I would respectfully submit that there is no need for any volunteer to waste their time trying to get ahold of this resource. Besides, no library knowingly acquires such books, and to the extent that a national library holds a deposit copy, these are generally more difficult to obtain than "ordinary" books. Again, I see no point in pursuing this request. Best, —&nbsp;[[User:Pajz|Pajz]] ([[User talk:Pajz|talk]]) 19:45, 11 August 2020 (UTC)
