Portal:Volcanoes

[edit]

Self-nomination. I am nominating this portal for featured portal status because it provides an excellent and appealing view to volcano information. It features 11 featured pictures, 12 featured articles, a couple of did you knows, a COTM, and a list of categories for the project. I think this portal is well done, although I'm not familiar with featured portals, I've seen a few, and i know the difference between an fpo and a normal portal. I think this is a featured portal. --Lord₪Sunday 01:20, 29 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Comments
  1. Missing - Some other sort of subsection for Selected content in addition to Selected article. (The standard is usually Selected biography). Cirt (talk) 06:04, 31 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  2. Missing - A Main topics section. Cirt (talk) 06:04, 31 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  3. Missing - A Things you can do section. Cirt (talk) 06:04, 31 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  4. Missing - Some sort of section related to either In the news, or Selected anniversaries, In this month, something like that. Biography, Religion, United States, War, Holidays and Oregon have some good examples. Cirt (talk) 06:04, 31 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  5. Please wikilink the bolded titles in both the portal Intro and Portal:Volcanoes/Selected article. Cirt (talk) 06:04, 31 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  6. WikiProjects - Surely there must be some related Parent projects, Sister projects, Related projects? A possible model for this might be Portal:Criminal justice. Cirt (talk) 06:04, 31 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  7. Did you know... - I'd suggest randomization for this, a good model would be Portal:Norway/DYK. Cirt (talk) 06:04, 31 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  8. Could use a Selected quote section like at Portal:Television/Selected quote. Cirt (talk) 06:04, 31 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  9. Collaboration of the Month - This is self-referential, and should be removed. Could be something for a WikiProject main page or a Things you can do section. Cirt (talk) 06:04, 31 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  10. Associated Wikimedia - Should be its own subpage specialized for this portal, as opposed to simply using {{WikimediaForPortals}}. Cirt (talk) 06:04, 31 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Withdraw - I'm simply too busy to do this at the moment. I apologize for what seems like laziness, but I have no time to fix all of these things. Obviously, I didn't work on that structure of the portal enough. Cirt, if you would be so kind, would you please leave a list of these things on my talk? Thank you. --Lord₪Sunday 13:31, 31 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
