Hi all - I request y'er help in making this a featured portal. Rama's arrow 16:04, 24 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comments There's a couple of key points I would like to highlight. From a formatting standpoint, I think the code needs to be cleaned up a bit — some of the [edit] links seem to be dangling outside their boxes. --[Done]. I can work to fix this pretty quick. Other than that, archives need to be created for all subsections in the portal, including "News", "Selected picture", "Selected article" and "Did You Know". --[Done]. How does the selection process for "Selected article" and "Selected picture" work? How are users able to nominate and / or vote for selected content? --[Nomination and selection process has been regularized] These are just some of my initial thoughts...I will continue to provide feedback as more content is incorporated into the portal. Additionally, it might help if we reach out to other Wikipedians like Kirill Lokshin to share their thoughts on areas that need improvement. Hope this helps. AreJay 16:49, 24 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Okay, some suggestions (partially repeated from above, as well):
    • Archives!--[Done]
    • The "more" link after the featured article is insufficient; the actual title should be linked as well.--[Done]
    • The selected picture needs to be centered.--[Done]
    • The gap between the two columns of boxes is too wide; probably the percentages are off by more than one.--[Done]
    • The gap after the "International ties of Bangladesh" box is too large. In general, I think it may be worthwhile to pull all the links out of the multiple topic boxes at the bottom and create a single box of your own; otherwise, you're going to be dependent on outside formatting for the layout of the portal, which isn't a good idea.--[Spacing problem fixed]
    • The big problem for a featured portal nomination at this point, however, would be that the portal has no track record of being actively maintained. I would strongly recommend that you set up some form of automatic content rotation, at least for the selected article and picture.--[Done; the selected article/biography/picture for current month will be automatically picked] Kirill Lokshin 00:57, 25 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
