All the portals mentioned below to use as models/examples are currently Featured Portals:

1.  DoneConsider randomized images in the Intro, model Portal:Iceland. Cirt (talk) 23:42, 22 January 2008 (UTC)SriMesh | talk 00:50, 26 January 2008 (UTC)
2.  DoneNo need for the references in selections at Portal:Saskatchewan/Selected article. Cirt (talk) 23:42, 22 January 2008 (UTC)SriMesh | talk 01:14, 26 January 2008 (UTC)
3.  DoneYou are using 2 different footer models, the "Selected picture" says "suggest", and the "Selected article" says "Archive/Nominations". Cirt (talk) 23:42, 22 January 2008 (UTC)
4.  DoneThe "Did you know" section could be standardized (as mentioned above, so could lots of sections) and a good model to go with for that is the Featured Portal Portal:New South Wales - which has sets of three hooks per subpage, with a free-use image used for every set. Cirt (talk) 23:42, 22 January 2008 (UTC)SriMesh | talk 04:26, 26 January 2008 (UTC)
5.  DoneCategories could have a nice little icon/image somewhere in that section, see Portal:Sustainable development. Cirt (talk) 23:42, 22 January 2008 (UTC)SriMesh | talk 04:26, 26 January 2008 (UTC)
6.  DoneCould add a Featured content section, the Featured Portal Portal:North West England is a good example of this. Cirt (talk) 23:42, 22 January 2008 (UTC)SriMesh | talk 04:26, 26 January 2008 (UTC)
7.  DoneHave a Question? Ask here! and Help - I want to add to the SK portal are both a bit too self-referential. Consider moving these to some sort of header on the portal talk page or WikiProject page instead, for those looking for help/ways to contribute - because Things you can do is usually the section for that in Featured Portals. Cirt (talk) 23:42, 22 January 2008 (UTC)SriMesh | talk 04:26, 26 January 2008 (UTC)
8.  DoneSelected biography is currently using both footer systems, "...Archive/Nominations", and "Suggest • More Biographies...". Pick one and go with it for all footers in the portal. Cirt (talk) 23:42, 22 January 2008 (UTC)SriMesh | talk 04:26, 26 January 2008 (UTC)
9.  DoneSelected Quotes section could be reformatted, a good model is Portal:Religion. Cirt (talk) 23:42, 22 January 2008 (UTC)

Hope that helps. Cirt (talk) 23:43, 22 January 2008 (UTC)

Thank you, will get on the improvements over the next two daysSriMesh | talk 04:52, 24 January 2008 (UTC)

Started changes, will have to skip a day and get back again. Thank you very much!SriMesh | talk 04:26, 26 January 2008 (UTC)

completed all the tasks for the portal aforementioned. Thank you very much for your time. Would it be ready for submission for Feature Portal?SriMesh | talk 04:22, 27 January 2008 (UTC)

The image in the intro makes the horizontal bar appear - you may want to resize/remove it. _{WEBURIEDOURSECRETSINTHEGARDEN} ^{it seems the winds have stopped...} 23:46, 15 February 2008 (UTC)

1.  Done Re-sized image. I have a wide screen monitor, does the bar appear nowSriMesh | talk 17:38, 17 February 2008 (UTC)

Nope, just right. _{WEBURIEDOURSECRETSINTHEGARDEN} ^{that one guy who buried stuff} 22:25, 18 February 2008 (UTC)

I am still seeing the bar across the screen on the portal. You should make the portal look friendly for all sizes of monitors. Mr. C.C. (talk) 05:17, 10 July 2008 (UTC)

Have addressed these concerns. Does a portal need 10 articles at feature or good article status in each section to be eligible for feature status? Is Portal Saskatchewan ready for review for feature? SriMesh | talk 00:21, 25 March 2008 (UTC)

2 things. 1) The image on the main portal page is horrible. It looks grainy. 2) You need at least 15, if not 20, of each section. Anything under that is a no-go. OhanaUnited^{Talk page} 03:58, 23 December 2008 (UTC)
