[edit] Main India article
Dear PKNiyogi...Saw some of your contributions...am kind of new...but I still feel that the Main India article is written from a British/Western point of view. From an Indian point of view, we always see the UK/PT/FR as foreigners and occupiers. I thus feel that we should adopt another POV in which we denigrate the British view and put more emphasis on the history of India before the British came...so that India is continuous since Indus Valley Civilization and not overnight from 1947...I already had some discussion with users IndianStar, NobleEagle, Chanakyathegreat...and they agree, however, the British writer Fowler always negates all these opinions and puts in the British POV with the guise of Encyclopaedia Britannica references. I thus urge you to refurbish the India main paragraph and remove even the word British and put more emphasis on Indus Valley Civilization...and India's first emperor Ashoka...and maintain the continuity since 5000 years. The British maybe just referred to as foreign occupiers. Basically even the word British is derogatory in the India article... —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 218.186.8.10 (talk) 04:38, 1 April 2007 (UTC).

Hi PK,

Did you know? was updated. On April 2, 2007, a fact from the article Kosambi, which you recently nominated, has been featured in that section on the Main Page. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the "Did you know?" talk page. |
Thanks for that, I sorted out the citations. The abbreviations are the primary source documents from the Pali Canon. However the main article was from the Pali Dictionary which I hadn't heard of that Sacca is using. It seems to be great! I will use it myself in future. Thanks, Blnguyen (bananabucket) 01:42, 2 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Portal:Current events/India
I have one request. As you update the news portion of Portal:West Bengal, could you provide some of your time for Portal:Current events/India. You can do just the news updating. The process is automated, in the sense just the news of last seven days would appear (see the "India in this week..." section). Everyday a red link automatically appears. One has to make a page for that link. Please see this advice on what to do with that red link. A new page should be created, a template needs to be inserted and saved (the template is given in the above link). Then again the page needs to be edited, in ordehnicr to add news items, then saved. That's it. The main portal would automatically display.
For the section "Highlights", selected news items from "this week..." section can be used. If you have some problem, please ask me. I may not be able to answer everything (as I also do not understand all the technical stuffs). However I may try to get the answer. Regards.--Dwaipayan (talk) 18:12, 4 April 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Re:Portal:Current events/India
Hi! I have answers to your questions. The past news would go to respective articles April 2007 in India, March 2007 in India etc. I have tried my best to fix them. You will see these articles belong to the Category:2007 in India. However the category does not have articles for January or February, because those articles were never created! The Indian current events portal is in a bad state. It needs regular maitenance. I did the technical stuffs as far as I could. I have requested some other people to do the technical stuffs.
For the time being, lets\'s just add news items for April. The red link that appears each day should be worked upon, following the guidelines. Probably the in the Indian portal the red links appear earlier than the global portal (time difference?). I am not sure. Whatever be the case, the red link should be clicked and subportals created in the line of earlier dates. I am now creating the page for 5 April.
I hope by April, the portal would be stabilised. Then, past months can be worked upon for archival purpose. Will try to introduce some more automation. Let's see what happens. However, for the time being our goal is to add news items regularly, which is the primary requirement. Archival procedures/automation can be worked upon slowly. Regards and Thanks.--Dwaipayan (talk) 07:05, 5 April 2007 (UTC)
- Yes a new red link will appear everyday. If previous red links have not been worked upon, those will also stay there (till it gets automatically removed after a period of 7 days). Regards.--Dwaipayan (talk) 07:29, 5 April 2007 (UTC)
