Portal:Formula One

See archived peer review. 15 sets of 4 DYKs; 10 selected biographies, all GA or FA; 22 selected articles, all GA or higher; 21 selected pictures, including F1's sole FP; a self updating "Next Grand Prix" box; news from Wikinews using the bot thingy; and current world championship standings, which are the only part of the portal which requires maintenance, and that should be fairly easy. My uneducated guess and untrained mind thinks this portal is ready to be featured. Thanks in advance for all comments. Aptery gial 04:11, 21 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Comment

A good way to get comments going on this page is to leave a neutrally worded notice at the talk pages of relevant WikiProjects informing them of the ongoing discussion. Cirt (talk) 02:37, 28 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Added at WT:F1 a week ago, WT:MOTOR, WT:SPORTS and WT:Transport just then. Aptery gial 05:31, 28 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Your selected pictures and every image on Portal:Formula One/Next Grand Prix breaks out of the box for me on Firefox at a screen resolution of 1024x768 and 800x600, what resolution did you design the portal for? Nanonic (talk) 00:27, 4 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I use a 1280x1024 resolution. I've dropped those images down to a better size. Aptery gial 01:13, 4 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Comment You don't have a "Related WikiProjects section", which is a good way to encourage people to start editing. (example: Portal:Norway/WikiProjects) It would fit nicely under the categories. Everything else looks great! ☺ Spiby ☻ 15:38, 6 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I've added the section in. Aptery gial 06:53, 7 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Then I will support. Great portal! You might want to try to get some more of the selected pictures to Featured status though. ☺ Spiby ☻ 13:36, 7 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. Aptery gial 23:43, 10 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Support Looks great - nice job! Found at WP:MOTOR. I'm not a member or associated at all with WP:F1. Royal broil 02:40, 7 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. Aptery gial 06:53, 7 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Haven't went there after I gave my last comment, but you don't need to over-emphasis on giving photo credit in the lead section because it's distracting. Leave it for pictures section to do its job. OhanaUnited^{Talk page} 17:56, 10 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I've removed it. Aptery gial 23:43, 10 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Portal:Fungi

This is the first portal I've worked on. I have received a little guidance from the peer review and other fungi project members, as well as from copying other portals. The content featured is as follows- 19 selected articles, all of good or featured status, 13 selected pictures, all of featured or valued status and 89 selected species, all of which have been featured on did you know and are of reasonable quality, so are of B or C class. The did you know section is updated whenever a new fungi article is added to did you know- 58 so far this year, with a few more waiting now. The other sections don't really need any sort of constant maintenance. There are a good few fungi contributors producing high quality material worth including, and the various lists on the fungi WikiProject allow me to keep the portal updated with the most recent material. I can't see any reason that this portal shouldn't be featured, but it's possible I've missed something with my lack of experience with portals. All comments welcome. In case it makes any difference, I am in the WikiCup, and intend to claim points for this. J Milburn (talk) 18:45, 31 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Comment

Peer review at Wikipedia:Portal peer review/Fungi/archive1 appears to still be open, one of these two discussions needs to be closed for the other one to proceed further. Cirt (talk) 09:48, 19 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Please close the peer review. I'd do it myself, but there isn't an archive page for this month and I'd rather not be the one to create it. J Milburn (talk) 09:55, 19 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Done. Cirt (talk) 10:18, 19 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Support. Looks great & meets the criteria. feydey (talk) 09:56, 22 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Comment You use both the parameter |footer= and a separate link from each subpage to Portal:Fungi/Selected article, Portal:Fungi/Selected picture and Portal:Fungi/Selected species. This is unnecessary and looks silly. I suggest you remove the footer parameter from the main page, that should do it. Secondly, the Wikiprojects-section does not explain what a wikiproject is. Perhaps add something like in Portal:Norway/WikiProjects or Portal:Feminism/Projects. Everything else looks great! ☺ Spiby ☻ 12:27, 23 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- I'd never even noticed the redundancy! Made both suggested changes. J Milburn (talk) 16:27, 23 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  - Nice portal! Thanks for implementing my suggestions, I now support. ☺ Spiby ☻ 12:09, 24 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Support As a WP:Fungi contributor my opinion is biased, but I think the portal meets all of the FP criteria. It's nice to see all of the fungal articles and photos displayed so attractively. Sasata (talk) 06:56, 24 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
