Wikipedia:Portal peer review/Wine/archive1

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I am looking for an overall peer review before I place this up for a Featured Portal nomination.--Chef Christopher Allen Tanner, CCC (talk) 22:25, 25 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

  • Review: Good job. A few suggestions —
  • Overall:
  • More items need to be created before this is placed up for a featured portal nomination. I've seen that, generally, reviewers like to see at least 10 items of each (example: picture, article).
  • There are large gaps between the News and Person, and Person and Picture boxes.
  • Setup: Currently, the portal updates itself every month. In case you were ever to stop updating the portal, {{Random portal component}} comes in quite handy. However, it is not a requirement for featured portals.
  • News:
  • More news...News archive, for uniformity.
  • Wine newsRecent news, News, or Current news
  • Instead of linked to the newspapers like this: # December 21: [1] Fine wines beat stock market with 39% gains, I think it would be better to write the name of the newspaper as well: # December 21: Fine wines beat stock market with 39% gains (Independent) (example of use).
  • DYK: white Manseng (Pictured) winewhite Manseng (pictured) wine (example)
  • Winery:
  • Selected WinerySelected winery
  • There's a large space between Chile (Viña Calina). and Selected winery archive.
  • Quote:
  • Selected QuoteSelected quote
  • More quotes from 2008...Quotes archive
  • I would suggest using the format here.
  • Lists: Wine related listsRelated lists
  • To do: Things you can do...Things you can do
  • Person: The title needs to be italicized.
  • Topics: Wine topicsMain topics or Major topics
  • Picture: I would suggest not bolding the text and left-justifying it. Happy editing, [sd] 00:49, 30 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

  1. I'd cut the amount of entries in the News section down by half.
  2. The news section would also look nicer if you used <noinclude></noinclude> around the hyperlinks, that way the references for the info would still be there, but would only show up on the subpage.
  3. I agree with Sd31415 (talk · contribs) about the recommendation to use {{Random portal component}} in at least one area somewhere.
  4. Missing: A link to "More..." or "Read more..." or "More about X subject..." is missing from several sections, namely Selected article, Person of the Month, and Selected Winery.
    I'm not sure, I think Chef :) thought linking it in the paragraph (for example, Zinfandel is a variety of red grape) would be enough. [sd] 19:42, 31 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
    Nah, from what I've seen, this is the standard practice among many featured portals, to have some sort of footer links in the section boxes. Cirt (talk) 21:48, 31 December 2007 (UTC).[reply]
    I agree. [sd] 22:39, 31 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  5. Selected picture could have something in the text description wikilinked and bolded, if the reader wants to find more info on Wikipedia about what is displayed in the picture.
  6. Associated topics should be "Main topics".
  7. Surely there are more than just two other Related portals?
    "Food (Beer, Wine)" are all that's at Portal:Contents/Portals. So, the food and beer portals would be the only two related portals. [sd] 19:42, 31 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
    Okay.  Done. Cirt (talk) 21:48, 31 December 2007 (UTC).[reply]

  • I've fixed up some uneven image sizing. That featured image has been up since this time last year, so the "2007" page from the "more featured pictures" link is a bit redundant. Maybe replace this one with a new Jan 2008 pic and assign the existing one to Dec 2007? --mikaultalk 13:01, 1 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
The current featured image was put up last week for the month of Jan.--Chef Christopher Allen Tanner, CCC (talk) 16:09, 5 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
