What happened to the News Archive - I liked that...Bwmodular 13:26, 22 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Ah, I see, there's now the SE Asia wikinews archive--Bwmodular 13:26, 22 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Wow, edit conflict ;-). It was started from an admin. Here I copy his message:

Hi Indon. In general, I've implemented the format utilised by the In the news section on the Main Page. This format is already followed by Portal:Australia, Portal:New Zealand, Portal:Oceania, Portal:United States and others. The news stories featured in Portal:Indonesia/Indonesia news are meant to be verifiable through corresponding entries on Portal:Current events/Southeast Asia. Happy editing, --cj talk 10:12, 16 September 2006 (UTC)

So basically, we don't directly add news to portal but refer to corresponding current news portal. We can add news there, which for Indonesia is Portal:Current events/Southeast Asia. After that copy paste to our portal here. Or we just be passive (as what I'm doing now) to monitor changes in SE Asia news portal. Whenever news about Indonesia appears there, I copy paste here. And there's no link to the source directly as we did before. That's what I understood from him.

Actually, I like this way, because there are some news guys in SE Asia portal who update news. Thus we can do other things. How about adding more DYKs? Cheers. — Indon (reply) — 13:33, 22 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I'm on holiday next week, but we definitely need more DYK's. Will put my mind to it when I get back.--Bwmodular 15:52, 22 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Portal:Current events/Southeast Asia

The Current Events portal page is more or less up to date again, so we should resume the business of keeping the Indonesia Portal News and the Current Events portal page in sync with each other as detailed above. I'm happy to act as 'News Editor' for now so put something on my talk page if you see some SE Asian related news that should be added to the Current Events portal.--Bwmodular 15:14, 12 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks a lot Bwmodular. It's good now we have more people to mantain the portal. ;-) — Indon (reply) — 15:35, 12 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

News source

The instructions at the top of the news page say 'Don't refer to the news source when adding news items'. However, we have been adding them for some time. Should I remove the instruction, or should we take out the news sources? I'd prefer the former, but am easy. --Bwmodular 09:27, 7 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, I guess so. It's a request from someone, but we can change it anyway. For me, it's better with the news source, because a few readers will go to the Portal news. — Indon (reply) — 09:29, 7 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
