Portal:Holidays[edit]

Started from scratch, this portal offers information on all holidays worldwide. It's comprehensive, and ergonomic. Most things during peer review have been taken care of, or addressed. This portal by all means meets the requirements. Joe I 21:14, 28 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

  • Weak support. Very close.
  • Memorials aren't holidays, please remove all the memorial-related content from the portal.
I have a problem finding what you're refering to.
This for instance. Michaelas10 (Talk) 20:06, 8 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
That pic is supposed to symbolize Memorial Day which is a federal holiday.
  • "Wiki relations" - Split to "Related portals" and "WikiProjects".
They fit very nicely together, being so small, individual boxes would look silly.
Oh well. At least rename it to "Related content". Michaelas10 (Talk) 20:06, 8 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Done
  • "Topics" > "Main topics"/"Major topics".
Done
  • Songs and stories don't belong under the "Selected biography" section, but their subject character is.
I assume you're talking about frosty and rudolf, there is no character without the original song/story.
  • In that case, move them to the "Selected article" section. I fail to see how the article focuses on the biography. Michaelas10 (Talk) 09:56, 9 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
No, those articles don't focus on the bio. If I change it from "Selected biography" to "Selected personality", how would that work for ya? Joe I 17:53, 9 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I disagree. If they don't focus on the bio, they wouldn't fit as personalities either. Michaelas10 (Talk) 18:27, 9 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Add "Read more" links to the "Selected article" and "Selected biography" sections. Michaelas10 (Talk) 10:50, 8 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
The bolded linked title works just as well. Joe I 18:07, 8 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
They don't, see the main page. Michaelas10 (Talk) 20:06, 8 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Look at Wikipedia:Featured content and they aren't used. There are many featured portals that don't use it, Portal:War, Portal:Military of Australia, Portal:Trains, Portal:Physics. Joe I 07:29, 9 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
There's a (more...) link, which is a substitute of this. Michaelas10 (Talk) 09:41, 9 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
The only one note italic is the main intro heading. Joe I 17:53, 9 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
There are also the tab headings. Personally I prefer avoiding italic font for readability. Michaelas10 (Talk) 18:26, 9 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Neutral for now. Several comments:
  • Quote: Should the title of the box, "Quote," be "Selected quote"?
Check
  • Selected stuff: Instead of "___ archive/Nominations," it should just be "Archive/Nominations."
Check
  • A break is needed after the "What are portals? | List of portals | Featured portals" line.
Check
  • Categories: Reduce the sizes of the images with low resolution.
Check
  • Calendar: Maybe you could add the box header and footer around the calendar. Good work so far! Happy editing, S.D. 20:44, 20 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I'll see what I can do bout the calendar, Thanks.  :) Joe I 20:59, 21 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Now that my comments have been addressed, the portal has my support. Cheers, S.D. 22:56, 21 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment please separate Portals and WikiProjects – they are separate concepts.--cj | talk 03:05, 22 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Very Well, I think it looks worse, but done. Joe I 03:26, 22 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
