Cheshire stuff[edit]

You may be interested (and want to add) the following information about Cheshire activities on here:

The Cheshire Project, which could go into the section on projects.
The Cheshire Portal, that could be mentioned somewhere.
The List of Places of Interest in Cheshire in the Lists part of the portal.

If you wouldn't mind me adding to this portal, I can also find out some more that may be of interest to add here. DDStretch (talk) 20:55, 17 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Ok. I've added some Cheshire stuff to the portal. I'll also make a link to this portal on the various Cheshire sites. DDStretch (talk) 09:55, 18 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use rationale for Image:Manchester University Crest.jpg[edit]

Image:Manchester University Crest.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 03:34, 6 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Subportals?[edit]

Dunno if anyone is watching this page, but a subportals section (with Portal:Cumbria, Portal:Lancashire, Portal:Greater Manchester and Portal:Cheshire) would be a nice addition. J Milburn (talk) 22:38, 7 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Notice from the Portals WikiProject[edit]

WikiProject Portals is back!

The project was rebooted and completely overhauled on April 17th, 2018. Its goals are to revitalize the entire portal system, make building and maintaining portals easier, support the ongoing improvement of portals and the editors dedicated to this, and design the portals of the future.

As of May 2nd, 2018, membership is at 60 editors, and growing. You are welcome to join us.

There are design initiatives for revitalizing the portals system as a whole, and for improving each component of portals. So far, 2 new dynamic components have been developed: Template:Transclude lead excerpt and Template:Transclude random excerpt.

Tools are provided for building and maintaining portals, including automated portals that update themselves in various ways.

And, if you are bored and would like something to occupy your mind, we have a wonderful task list.

From your friendly neighborhood Portals WikiProject. Hope to see you there. Sincerely, — The Transhumanist 07:40, 2 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
