Help with July 24 Date
I tried adding a news for July 24 but have mistakenly put the date as 23 instead. The news item for July 24 would contain "Lucknow Court puts a stay on ..." I tried to fix the date but could not do so. Can some one quickly fix the problem asap Webgeek

Can some one advise how to get June 2006 in India into this page like a template? It is showing up as red link? - Ganeshk  ( talk ) 05:03, 29 June 2006 (UTC)
 * It can be included like a template by adding a colon in front, as in . What do you guys have to say about Portal_talk:India. I think it might be nice if we could convert it into the portal style. The news would be more organised too. -- thunderboltza.k.a.D e epu Joseph10:54, 16 July 2006 (UTC)

Should Nepal Conduct Open source Campaign in Schools of Nepal to encourage people to use Open Source Products
We expect schools to teach students basic facts, and useful skills, but that is not their whole job. The most fundamental mission of schools is to teach people to be good citizens and good neighbors--to cooperate with others who need their help. In the area of computers, this means teaching them to share software. Elementary schools, above all, should tell their pupils, "If you bring software to school, you must share it with the other children." Of course, the school must practice what it preaches:

News items without corresponding articles
Off late, I see that there are various news items posted in the current affairs page without having an corresponding article. I think the main objective of this section is to help create wikipedia articles for significant current events. I don't believe this page is supposed to be an exhaustive news page ! Your thoughts... --Natrajdr 07:02, 12 April 2007 (UTC)
 * I disagree with your "main objective". It's a portal for current events. Current events should be reported irrespective of whether they have or does not have any article. Of course, if the event reported does not have an article, there is always the scope to create one. You are seeing that various news items are being posted without having a corresponding article. That's better than the previous condition when hardly any items were there (the portal was not being updated regularly for quite a long time).
 * In the present status, at least the primary goal is being served (reporting news), while there is always the scope to create articles on reported items. Regards.--Dwaipayan (talk) 17:53, 14 April 2007 (UTC)

A section on South Asia?
Currently I don't see any regional current events page for covering Soth Asian countries other than India. Clearly it would be difficult to maintain one page per country. Any chance the people maintaining this page could consider turning it into a South Asia Page covering all 8 SAARC countries? Or should there be a separate page? If separate page is created having India stand out of the group would look strange. Arman Aziz 11:08, 30 August 2007 (UTC)

Daily News Highlights Maintanence
I can ensure that atleast 1 - 2 news events related to India be added on a daily basis. However, i need someone (or a bot) to create the default template page as i cannot post as a logged-in user due to network issues at my workplace 59.93.102.42 —Preceding comment was added at 16:47, 31 October 2007 (UTC)
