Subprojects
In the News
This subsection is for suggestions for the "In the news" section of the Main Page. The news section is not trying to be unbiased. News items will be biased toward conservative, Christian people and views.
This doesn't mean we are going to place information which is incorrect, uncertain, or known to be false. Our "bias" is one of interest and perspective. However, the misleading interpretations, wishful thinking and outright lies of the (mainstream) liberal media will not be presented here. Conservapedia aims to expose and debunk such propaganda.
We're also not trying to reproduce Fox News and report on every news story. There will be a wide range of sources (including blogs) that illustrate news and opinions according to the guidelines.
Review the Guidelines. Make your suggestions here.
Editing the "In the News" section
If you're an administrator, you can edit the news section. Here's how to do it:
- On the Main Page, there is an edit link to the right of "In the News".
- Click the edit link, and you will be editing "Template:Mainpageright (section)".
- Enter a post below where it says "PAGE CONTENT BEGINS BELOW THIS LINE".
- You can put a return and ---- to separate the posts.
- Add the news posting.
- Put something in the edit summary and click the preview button to see how it looks.
- Click "Save page" and view your addition on the Main Page.
