Portal:The Simpsons[edit]

I recently added randomized functions and more blurbs to the Selected article and Selected episode sections. The Selected article section randomizes through (16) articles, and the Selected episode section randomly picks one of (24). All articles in those sections are either WP:GA or WP:FA quality. I also added a Selected picture section, all free-use images, with some being directly Simpsons-related images/products, and others being images of individuals/guest-stars/producers, etc. Other newly created sections include Did you know, Character quote, Main topics, Selected quotes, and Featured content. All told, the randomized sections are: "Selected article", "Selected episode", "Selected picture", "Did you know", "Character quote", and "Selected quotes".

I am looking to bring Portal:The Simpsons to Wikipedia:Featured portal candidates, and I'm looking for feedback/comments/suggestions before doing so.

It was great! It's very hard to look for free-use images that describe copyrighted materials. I noticed Kwik-E-Mart was mentioned in both Selected Article and Selected Picture. We generally don't repeat the same thing in different sections, so you may consider switching one for something else. OhanaUnited^{Talk page} 15:48, 13 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I thought about that, but they are different pictures, and both look neat. I think with the amount of randomization going on here, it is unlikely that they will both be displayed at the same time. Thanks for the positive feedback, it's nice to hear. Cirt (talk) 15:54, 13 December 2007 (UTC).[reply]

Done -- I changed around a few of the Kwik-E-Mart images, for greater variety. Cirt (talk) 16:05, 13 December 2007 (UTC).[reply]

Portal looks good. Only problem I see is lack of images of characters, which basically can't be addressed when all images are copyrighted. John Carter (talk) 19:11, 13 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Exactly. Unless some sort of vector-image would be okay, but I think even that would be pushing it as far as copyright goes. Cirt (talk) 19:12, 13 December 2007 (UTC).[reply]

Mmm, portals... Looks great! I made some minor formatting changes in the boxes. Revert anything you don't like. :-) RichardF (talk) 15:08, 15 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Your changes all look fine, thank you! I think after this good positive feedback, we can wait a bit more and then take this to WP:FPORTC. Cirt (talk) 17:52, 15 December 2007 (UTC).[reply]
