[edit] Portal:Bangladesh

Hi all - I request y'er help in making this a featured portal. Rama's arrow 16:04, 24 August 2006 (UTC)

• Comments There's a couple of key points I would like to highlight. From a formatting standpoint, I think the code needs to be cleaned up a bit — some of the [edit] links seem to be dangling outside their boxes. I can work to fix this pretty quick. Other than that, archives need to be created for all subsections in the portal, including "News", "Selected picture", "Selected article" and "Did You Know". How does the selection process for "Selected article" and "Selected picture" work? How are users able to nominate and / or vote for selected content? These are just some of my initial thoughts...I will continue to provide feedback as more content is incorporated into the portal. Additionally, it might help if we reach out to other Wikipedians like Kirill Lokshin to share their thoughts on areas that need improvement. Hope this helps. AreJay 16:49, 24 August 2006 (UTC)

• Okay, some suggestions (partially repeated from above, as well):
  • Archives!
  • The "more" link after the featured article is insufficient; the actual title should be linked as well.
  • The selected picture needs to be centered.
  • The gap between the two columns of boxes is too wide; probably the percentages are off by more than one.
  • The gap after the "International ties of Bangladesh" box is too large. In general, I think it may be worthwhile to pull all the links out of the multiple topic boxes at the bottom and create a single box of your own; otherwise, you're going to be dependent on outside formatting for the layout of the portal, which isn't a good idea.
  • The big problem for a featured portal nomination at this point, however, would be that the portal has no track record of being actively maintained. I would strongly recommend that you set up some form of automatic content rotation, at least for the selected article and picture. Kirill Lokshin 00:57, 25 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Portal:Asia

The Asia Portal has recently been created and seeks help from those who are interested. Thanks in advance, TBC^{??? ??? ???} 06:02, 9 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Bangladesh News

the news listed under the "Bangladesh News" is out of date and full of suicide bombings. Could someone please include other, more up-to-date news? Maybe the capture of Siddiqul Islam and Abdur Rahman or something more up to date.

[edit] India -> India + Pakistan + Bangladesh

There is a discussion going on related to India before and after 1947. Following is statement which gives you idea, please read whole discussion before editing:

India after 1947 consists of three countries, Pakistan, India and Bangladesh. When we use word India, in articles, refereeing to whole India, links are such that they bring us to present day India (Republic of India), reducing size of pre-1947 India considerably. Is it possible that when we refer to pre-1947 India we use a term which encompasses whole India not just present day India? Please comment.

[edit] New Article

[edit] A bit odd...

• The portal layout is currently looking a bit odd... --Akut 18:47, 20 January 2007 (UTC)
• The portal coding is probably not compatible with Mozilla Firefox (the browser I use at home and office). The layout comes even more strange on it. - Aditya Kabir 11:20, 26 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] A bit strange

Some of the articles on this page begin with an hyphen (-) for no apparent reason at all (example Jatiyo Sangshad Bhaban), while most are without a hyphen in the beginning (example Rabindranath Tagore) as articles on other portal page archives. Is there any meaning in it? Or is it just sloppy editing? I wonder. - Aditya Kabir 11:02, 26 January 2007 (UTC)

Well, It's nothing special. I will remove it. Thanks. Tarif from Bangladesh 11:26, 12 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Problem Watching

I am having a bit of problem watching the page. Today when I came to change the article and picture I am seeing only a blue screen with any any news, article or picture. Can anybody help?Tarif from Bangladesh 11:26, 12 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Lost? Can I help to find?

Where is the WikiProject History of Bangladesh? I see it mentioned on the talk page of Dhaka Nawab Family. But, alas, it's a red link. If it's lying there for a volunteer to start, please, let me know the procedures. I can volunteer to do whatever is in my capacity. Better people can always add to it latter. Aditya Kabir 16:50, 15 February 2007 (UTC)

You can start the project. :) --Ragib 17:57, 15 February 2007 (UTC)
