Contribution guidelines

অবদানের নির্দেশিকা

The information, photos and reviews you give help others. To keep the information reliable for everyone, please follow the rules below.

Main rules

Cite a source

Give a verifiable source with new information or a correction — for example a link to a government website, a gazette, the institution’s own website or a reliable newspaper. Search engine result pages are not accepted as sources.

No personal information

Do not give private individuals’ personal phone numbers, home addresses, identity document details or photos. An institution’s public contact details may be given.

No advertising or spam

Promotional text, irrelevant links, submitting the same information again and again, or fake reviews of your own business are not accepted.

Your own photos

Only give photos that you took yourself or have permission to use. If people’s faces are clearly visible, their consent is required.

Be respectful in reviews

Write honestly about your own experience. Abuse, threats, hateful or discriminatory remarks, and attacks on a specific staff member by name are not allowed.

What is rejected

  • Information without a source, or that cannot be verified
  • Numbers or statistics based on guesses or hearsay
  • Anyone’s personal information, or photos taken without permission
  • Advertising, spam or irrelevant links
  • Text or photos copied from others
  • Insulting, threatening or hateful language
  • Falsely presenting yourself as a government representative or an official of an institution

What happens after you submit

A reviewer looks at suggestions for new places and corrections. A suggestion may be approved, returned for changes, or rejected; you can see the status of each suggestion on your profile. Information is published on the site only after its source has been checked — how, is described in the data & verification policy.

Reviews are published as soon as they are submitted. Anyone can report a review that breaks the rules, and it may be removed after review.

Repeatedly breaking the rules may lead to an account being limited or closed.
