Article needs to be re-graded, both to importance & quality

This article has been radically expanded, and documented in detail, to reflect the major developments and recent-years surge in global importance of this site - now the world's largest refugee camp (as stated in the major reference citations supporting that opening statement in the lede).

This location is a very important international-affairs topic -- the focus of more international relief operations than almost any other place on earth, and the flash point for globally reported dramas over attempts to remove its inhabitants -- by relocation to the site of their genocidal persecution, or relocation to a dangerous island -- and for frequent internationally reported dramas associated with the world's highest-density population (fires, floods, landslides, protests, visits by world dignitaries, negotiations among some of the world's major nations, one of the world's highest-risk communities for COVID-19, and billions in aid expenditures).

Image severely dated and inadequate, even misleading

The photo used to illustrate this article, in the infobox, was probably a good example of the place when this article was first created -- before the explosion in the camp's size, drama and global importance, resulting from Myanmar's sudden explosion of genocidal violence against the Rohingya in Myanmar, starting August 25, 2017, which drove most of the Rohingya into neighboring Bangladesh, most of them to this camp, which has more than tripled in size, and more than doubled in density, becoming, suddenly, the world's largest refugee camp (which it still is, as of early 2020).

Much more about the inadequacies of this image, and suggested better examples, are detailed in this Wikimedia Commons "Talk" page: [1]
