Hamza Choudhury

Latest comment: 2 days ago3 comments2 people in discussion

In the sport and games section it states that he's predicted to be the first British Asian to play for the England national football team, however since 2024 he has switched to Bangladesh's, can this be fixed? 009slam (talk) 19:08, 14 June 2026 (UTC)Reply

Thanks, but I would further argue that Hamza Choudhury being the first Bangladeshi to play in the Premier League is significant enough for him to stay in the article rather than full removal. The idea of first Bengali rather than first Bangladeshi is what I can't find a citation for, but the latter is according to ESPN: https://www.espn.com/football/story/_/id/44364002/choudhury-joins-list-premier-leagues-lone-internationals 009slam (talk) 21:26, 14 June 2026 (UTC)Reply

Change "Football is the most popular sports among Bengalis" to "Football is one of the most popular sports among Bengalis".

In the very last paragraph change "Bengalis are very competitive when it comes to board and home games such as Pachisi and its modern counterpart Ludo, as well as Latim, Carrom Board, Chor-Pulish, Kanamachi and Chess" to "Bengalis are very competitive when it comes to board and home games such as pachisi and its modern counterpart ludo, as well as latim, carrom board, chor-pulish, kanamachi and chess", they should be lowercase because no board game here is trademarked. 009slam (talk) 21:38, 14 June 2026 (UTC)Reply

Correction: **carrom board** not carrom board. 009slam (talk) 21:41, 14 June 2026 (UTC)Reply
