Portal:Alternative music

Portal was recently peer reviewed, with all issues addressed. I believe it's worthy of featured status. CloudNine 17:43, 14 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

~~Oppose~~
- Support Everything taken care of, good work. Jo e I 03:43, 25 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Add <div style="text-align:center; margin:-7px; padding-bottom:12px;">{{purge|'''Show new selections'''}} </div> above the randomized boxes.
  - Added by S.D. on 12:02, 15 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- News and DYK need archive links.
  - Added. CloudNine 17:09, 15 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Selected articles should also be bold linked at the beginning of the summary.
  - I believe they already are. Could you clarify? CloudNine 17:09, 15 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
    - I added the link to the Nirvana article. Alternative rock in the intro needs to be linked the same way. Jo e I 18:06, 15 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
    - Yep, addressed your comment. CloudNine 18:35, 15 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- No related wikimedia
  - Is this a requirement? I'm not sure if the other Wiki* projects offer much when it comes to alternative music. CloudNine 17:09, 15 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
    - commons, books, quote, news, I'd say it's needed. Joe I 18:06, 15 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
      - I believe I've addressed your comment. CloudNine 16:43, 20 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Color - pinks seems allittle gayish for alternative music.

I'm assuming this comment is a joke. WesleyDodds 12:24, 15 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

No, not really. While color is not a requirment, it says alot about the portal. Why would pink be the best? Jo e I 18:06, 15 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Does it matter? I think the color scheme suits the portal as is. It's hardly an objection against the featured portal criteria anyway. CloudNine 16:45, 20 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

- Sense Portal:Music is in related portals, it's not needed at the bottom.
- More content(articles/pics) needs to be added, this does not show you have a broad base of good articles to draw upon.
  - Added several more articles. Up to 8 selected articles now. CloudNine 17:09, 15 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- I see nothing linkin to the history, which is one of the most important aspects. Should add to topics box.
  - The history of alternative music? That's already covered in alternative rock, which is in the major topics box already. CloudNine 17:09, 15 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry, you have quite a bit to do. Jo e I 05:41, 15 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, well you've done alot, however a few small more issues have come up, not a problem tho:

Pics - Find a few more good pics, to atleast match the number of articles. I do believe there is plenty of subject matter.

Done.

Use {{WikimediaForPortals}}, and make the box you currently use 100% to include the 4 sister projects noted above(commons, books, quote, news)

Done.

Topics - add an instruments line; and if you can find more than the one list, add a list line as well.

What instruments are you thinking of? There's very few that are unique to alternative rock; so should it just be guitar, bass guitar etc?

Yeah, I was thinking just basic band instruments. They may not be unique to alternative, but are very important to it's development.

Add a section to listen to selected samples, such as what's on Alternative rock.

Since virtually all of our samples are fair use, would it not contravene the rule of no fair use on portals?

Didn't realize these were fair use.

And add Timeline of alternative rock somewhere.

Done.

Other than that, you're close. Jo e I 20:45, 21 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your review again. My comments are above.

Neutral. A few comments:

Associated Wikimedia: I suggest using the template {{WikimediaForPortals}}.

Done.

Did you know: Several (about 3 or 4) more DYK's are needed (DYK's don't have to be on the main page in order to be in the portal).

Several more DYKs have been added.

I made this edit for consistency.
{{Purgepage}} is not needed. Cheers, S.D. 21:03, 20 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Several more comments:

Did you know: Archive → Archive...
Things you can do: For consistency, Creation → Create and Expansion → Expand.
News: Archive → Archive...

Done. CloudNine 22:01, 23 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Happy editing, S.D. 21:25, 23 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The only thing left to do (from both my and Jo e I's suggestions) is to add around three more selected pictures. Since all my other suggestions have been fixed, support. Good work! S.D. 23:47, 23 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Added 3 more images; there's now 8 selected articles and selected pictures. CloudNine 13:30, 24 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
