article better now[edit]

There was a non-wikified article here. I used that as a base, did some research, and filled out the content. I do not expect that anything that I have written should be too controversial, and I think it is well-cited considering that it is a starting article. Also, I made some other Bangladeshi articles link to this one. I removed the following article issue tags: wikify, cleaup, unreferenced, original research, and orphan, all of which have been here since November 2007.

absence of criticism[edit]

So little about the poor/non existent labour standards, accidents, low wages, violent tactics used by factory owners against organised workers, etc. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.84.68.252 (talk) 07:34, 13 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Potential new viewpoint/conflicting viewpoints[edit]

In the intro of the article it says that the garment industry is the single source of economic growth in Bangladesh but later down says it only accounts for 5% of the country's income. This two facts seem disparate and need to be reconciled. Additionally, I think the article could include how if things have improved socially for the status of women (or if not), not just that more are working now.

Editing this Article[edit]

Hi everyone. I am interested in editing this article as part of a class assignment. I would like to address the issue of gender in the garment industry in Bangladesh. It's well-known that the large majority of factory workers are women and I think it's important to have a subsection or other article talking about the way gender interacts with this economic industry. Trs6 (talk) 16:13, 8 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Trs6 That's great! Thanks for your interest. Remember that whatever you add to Wikipedia has to come from a published source that you cite. I checked your user page and see that you are already collecting sources there. That is a good start! Be bold and start adding sentences with citations.

Proposed Changes[edit]

Hey guys! Going to post a tentative bibliography that I'm going to use to guide my changes. I've reached out to some people but my main concern is restructuring the article; so let me know if you have any advice!

Caleca, Alexandra Rose. "The Effects Of Globalization On Bangladesh's Ready-Made Garment Industry: The High Cost Of Cheap Clothing." Brooklyn Journal Of International Law 40.1 (2014): 279-320. Academic Search Complete. Web. 8 Sept. 2016.

This is a good journal article because it touches on the various worker safety conditions (and violations thereof) in the garment industry.

Chowdhury, Md. Maruf Hossan, and Mohammed A. Quaddus. "A Multiple Objective Optimization Based QFD Approach For Efficient Resilient Strategies To Mitigate Supply Chain Vulnerabilities: The Case Of Garment Industry Of Bangladesh☆,☆☆☆This Manuscript Was Processed By Associate Editor B. Lev." Omega 57.Part A (2015): 5-21.ScienceDirect. Web. 8 Sept. 2016.

This source helps explains some methods to increase productivity while taking worker safety into account.

Fernandes, Leela. Routledge Handbook of Gender in South Asia. Abingdon, Oxon: Routledge, 2014.

This is a survey over gender relations in South Asia which I think will be useful in my section about the way the garment sector has affected gender relations in Bangaldesh.

This piece analyzes the social effects in Bangladesh as a result of the booming garment industry. This will be especially helpful because I want to add an section about the social and cultural effects of the textile industry.

Be mindful of citing self-published sources[edit]

Trs6 In this edit you added text saying, "BGMEA is being run by a 35-member elected Board of Directors..." then proceed to talk about BGMEA. Please watch out for WP:PRIMARY sources. When organizations publish about themselves, the text is often promotional. The rule in Wikipedia about self-published sources is that they should be avoided. One way to check if the information is really important is determining whether a third-party source not paid by the organization has invested its own resources in publishing this information. If the only place this information has been published is by the organization itself, then probably the information is what the organization wants to share, and not what a neutral third-party would feel is important to share.

The other information about BGMEA taken from the third-party source seems more useful. Blue Rasberry (talk) 01:38, 7 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Blue Rasberry Thanks for the tip; should be resolved! Trs6 (talk) 22:09, 12 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Peer Review[edit]

This article is very comprehensive, well-organized, and readable. It covers a broad range of aspects that are pertinent to the main topic, such as trade agreements, the readymade garment industry, employment and working conditions, factory crises, and education. It presents this information in a logical order and the language is clear and direct throughout. To improve this article, the author can draw from a greater variety of scholarly sources and make sure that statements are not left uncited. In addition, the author can include information about working conditions and cultural shifts in the lead section. Finally, the author can add illustrations to the article to provide visual aids that support the text. The most important of the above suggestions is citation. All statements in the article must be cited to give credit to the authors who produced those ideas and to avoid plagiarism. Sraman195 (talk) 06:15, 16 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Second Peer Review[edit]

The author has improved this article by rewording the title and adding several illustrations throughout. However, there are still several things that can be changed. To further improve this article, the author can draw from a greater variety of scholarly sources (if possible) and make sure that no statements are left uncited. All statements in the article must be cited to give credit to the authors who produced those ideas and to avoid plagiarism. In addition, the author can include information about working conditions and cultural shifts in the lead section to provide a more well-rounded presentation of the main topic. Sraman195 (talk) 19:39, 30 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Peer Review[edit]

All in all, this article looked great—I particularly appreciated how easy it was for me to read and understand (as someone with very little background knowledge about the topic). So you did a great job with that! I think you could really improve the article by adding relevant images and by updating the sourcing to include the dates of publication. I agree with Sraman195 in saying that the most important improvement would be updating the citations. But yeah, great work for your initial contribution!

Second Peer Review[edit]

This author has done a great job of improving the quality of this article by increasing its neutral tone and by adding a diverse array of scholarly sources! I think you could really improve the article even more by adding more relevant images and by updating the sourcing to include the dates of publication (which is pretty crucial). But all in all great work! Cpm5 (talk) 16:23, 31 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
