Portal:Ireland/Suggestions

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Please add suggestions for the regularly updated sections of the portal below. All suggestions that fit the criteria are welcome and will normally be added in order of suggestion. However, the topics shown on the portal must be varied widely. This means that there not only needs to be variation in what articles, pictures and DYKs follow each other, but also what articles, pictures and DYKs are show at the same time. This will effect the order in which suggestions are added to the portal.

Even if you don't have anything to add, you can still help by checking that each of the sections that need regular updating have been updated within the last 3—4 days. If they haven't then update them using a suggestion from below.

Selected article

[edit]
  • Frequency: A new SA every 3—4 days (previous SA's are archived).
  • Criteria:
    • Any mid-quality or better Ireland-related article, except stubs.
    • Must show Ireland-related contributions to Wikipedia in a "good light."
    • An accompanying picture is essential.
  • What to add: A link to the suggested article.

Other suggestions

[edit]

Suggestions for things to add to the portal (e.g. a weekly Irish Wikipedian interview) are also welcome. If you have any, post them to the main talk page for the portal. That's the easiest place to keep discussion.
