Portal:Statistics[edit]

This portal has been peer reviewed and seems to be ready as a featured portal candidate. —G716 <^T·_C> 18:51, 7 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Notified WikiProject Statistics—G716 <^T·_C> 19:04, 7 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Any other possibly related wikiprojects you could notify that might be interested in contributing to the discussion? Math, Science, Economics, etc., something like that? Cirt (talk) 13:04, 8 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Done: Mathematics, Probability, Science, Economics —G716 <^T·_C> 01:34, 9 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks! Hopefully that will draw in some editors to comment. Cirt (talk) 02:56, 10 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry for the late response. As an initial observation, please add Archive/Nomination pages for Selected article, Selected picture, and Selected biography and edit the entry layouts to link to them (including Portal:Statistics/Did you know). For example, model Portal:Statistics/Selected article after Portal:Criminal justice/Selected article and Portal:Statistics/Selected article/Layout after Portal:Criminal justice/Selected article/Layout. That way it will be easier to access any entry and to view all of the available content.
I also think it would be better to make a separate box for the portals at the bottom like at Portal:Opera. It wasn't immediately clear to me that they were links to portals. Thanks, --Jh12 (talk) 11:17, 21 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I second to Jh12's first bulleted point. Please provide a link to other selected articles. In addition to bolding the main topic, you need to include a wiki-link rather than just having a "read more" button. Plus I see that there're only 6 selected articles, 5 selected biographies, and 5 selected pictures. I want to see all FA and GA are used before resorting to using B or C-class. Given that none of the images/illustrations are likely to become featured picture, I can tolerate non-featured contents on selected pictures. OhanaUnited^{Talk page} 06:02, 26 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
