The Conservatism portal is automated (except for News) and requires minimal maintenance. It is fully documented to assist future changes. Content display is randomized and includes:
The portal has been checked against the Featured portal criteria and is ready for your consideration. – Lionel (talk) 10:48, 17 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Good point. I'm not particularly wedded to preserving the DYK. Curious, what do other portals do? How about bringing this up on talk and seeing what people think? – Lionel (talk) 09:21, 26 November 2011 (UTC)
Reagan is hardly RECENT. His position in scholarly history books is stable. Reagan will not be the only topic to benefit from "special occasion" treatment. Edmund Burke will be highlighted on Nov 1, the anniv. of the publishing of Reflections on the Revolution in France. Wikipedia is not done: neither is this portal. But enough with Reagan already.
The question is: are portals improved by emulating a variant of the "special occasion" feature utilized on the Main Page? – Lionel (talk) 03:23, 30 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
This portal has certainly improved a lot since its first nomination, but there are still many rough edges. BencherliteTalk 12:16, 28 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
May I just say that I was really impressed by the portal, content-wise?Mzk1 (talk) 20:41, 11 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The National Dance Tinikling, the national dance, is considered the oldest of the Philippine folk dances. The dance, which comes from the countryside, takes its name and movements from the "tinikling" bird as it roams between grass steams, crushes tree branches and avoids traps set by rice farmers. Dancers skip gracefully back and forth while trying to avoid getting their feet caught by two bamboo poles.
There are many tall tales about the dance's origins. According to one story, Filipino farm workers who displeased their Spanish masters had their feet smashed by two bamboo poles. When the poles were apart, the workers would jump to avoid getting hurt. Thus, this dance was born.
Legacy ===Portal:History=== So this is my contribution to what came about the whole shebang about the leading portals being underdeveloped. This portal gets ~5k vistors daily (literally 50 times the usual amount), so it's definitely out there in terms of visibility. Anyway North below listed all of the randomized sections, so I will too, here they are:
A large variety, and I submit it for your consideration for the Featured sticker. ResMar 00:14, 30 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Closing as promoted. Congratulations to all involved. BencherliteTalk 00:38, 26 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
