message: 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.

message: 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)

message: 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.

message: I have made a few major changes to the portal page.I have added a new "Selected biography" section. More importantly, for selected article, selected picture and the newly created selected biography sections, I have created a monthy nomination and selection process. I have been bold to select all three items upto September 2007. For items of October 2007 I have created the nomination page. Please feel free to nominate your candidates or support my nominees.-Arman Aziz 11:14, 19 July 2007 (UTC)

message: I'm proposing to add two new subsections in this portal: "Selected Location" and "Selected Map". Please let me know your comments about this.-Arman Aziz 06:38, 20 July 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I have borrowed the idea from Portal:Islam and Portal:Asia. However, I share your concern of not having enough material to keep the new subsections busy. May be we can keep this idea on hold for the moment.-Arman Aziz 10:14, 20 July 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: This is a new proposal. Portal:Pakistan has a subsection called This week in History. This gave me an idea to start something called This month in Bangladesh - in which we can describe the climate / historical events of the month. For sample, I have startedPortal:Bangladesh/July page. Please lend me a hand in completing it and other 11 monthly pages. Once we have 12 pages with nice photos in all of them, we can start this section. -Arman Aziz 00:53, 21 July 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: This may be a very good idea. A section on the main page may also feature selected location. This came to my mind actually seeing yours and Uttam's great work on the geography of Bangladesh. I'd propose that "This month" goes to the right hand side column and "Selected location" goes to the left hand side. Aditya(talk • contribs) 04:08, 21 July 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Most of our location articles now have infobox with maps - but they are still lacking in terms of contents. However, having a section on the portal may actually encourage us to put some materials on specific pages - sort of mini collaboration. I can try to create a mini template to show the location on bangladesh locator map on the portal page. An alternative name of this section can be "Where in Bangladesh" - so that we don't imply that the selected location article is one of our best work in Wikipedia. Let's add these two sections before we push for featured portal status. If we can do all these in a proper way, Portal:Bangladesh may be one of the best portal pages on wikipedia.-Arman Aziz 04:36, 21 July 2007 (UTC)

thread_title: Where in Bangladesh

message: I have not made much progress other than the July page. I'll wait for others to help me out with the pages for other months. I have a rough idea about which month can talk on which theme:
*Jan - Winter in Bangladesh
*Feb - 21 February
*Mar - 26 March
*Apr - Pohela Baishakh
*May - Summer in Bangladesh
*Jun - Any suggestions?
*Jul - Monsoon / Floods
*Aug - Assasination of Mujib?
*Sep - Ramadan (at least for 2007-2009)
*Oct - Eid-ul Fitr (at least for 2007-2008)
*Nov - Any suggestions?
*Dec - 16 December.

message: We've been informed that when viewed in FireFox the header of the portal doesn't look as nice as it does in IE. User:B uploaded a comparative screenshot here. I have made some changes to solve this but not sure whether this is working since I am not a FF user. I'd really appreciate if any FireFox user could tell me how it looks now, and even better, upload a screenshot. Arman Aziz 06:17, 13 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Nahid,would you be able to upload a latest screenshot from FireFox? I have made some changes and it shouldn't look the same. Arman Aziz 10:54, 13 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I have an allergy with IE (I don't know why, but when I look at its blue screen, it stars itching me!). So, I always use FireFox and Opera. From the very beginning, I can see this portal properly. I never had any problem regarding formating or other issues. God knows way! By the way, I'm using its latest version Firefox - 2.0.0.6.

message: I am planning to have a random rotation for the "Where in Bangladesh" section (similar to Did you know...). Unlike Selected article, biography or picture we don't need to identify good quality materials for this sections. So having monthly nomination and selection doesn't make much sense. However, to have a reasonable pool of items to rotate through I need more suggestions on which locations we can feature on the portal page. Please give me your suggestions (if any) here. Arman Aziz 09:22, 20 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: We didn't receive any suggestion for the Month of May. If there are no more new suggestions before May 1, from that month we'll do a random rotation of previously highlighted locations. The suggestion page will still remain active for any suggestion for adding locations to the rotation pool. Arman (Talk) 09:33, 7 March 2008 (UTC)

message: Wikipedia:WikiProject Portals is back!
The project was rebooted and completely overhauled on April 17th, 2018.
Its goals are to revitalize the entire portal system, make building and maintaining portals easier, and design the portals of the future.
As of April 29th, membership is at 56 editors, and growing.
There are design initiatives for revitalizing the portals system as a whole, and for each component of portals.
Tools are provided for building and maintaining portals, including automated portals that update themselves in various ways.
And, if you are bored and would like something to occupy your mind, we have a wonderful task list.

message: I have reverted the Did You Know section back to the manual list. That is because all the items in the automatically filtered DYK list is refreshed very infrequently for Bangladesh. Compared to that the manually maintained list gives link to a diverse range of Bangladesh related topics which enriches the portal more. Arman (Talk) 07:01, 10 September 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: Thanks, Arman.  This portal was nominated as a testing ground for automation.  I think the test basically worked but isn't appropriate for this page: it's a useful backup for other portals which no one maintains manually.  Certes (talk) 10:32, 10 September 2018 (UTC)
