Wikipedia:Portal peer review/Amusement parks/archive1
I'm just looking for some feedback as to how this portal could be improved... it's linked to by plenty of articles, so any help in increasing its readability would be great! Seaserpent85 12:24, 26 November 2007 (UTC)
- Hi! I am commenting because I don't have time right now to do an in depth review of the standards for portals and I don't want this to get lost in my watchlist. I was wondering if we want to have the content change on any type of schedule. I use the portal all the time to get to our projects, and I like the pictures that you have chosen, but I am not sure about the protocol for portals. Also, it would be fun to have sound! I wonder if someone here at Wiki or on the commons has the sound of the roller coaster or screams or something. Anyway, hope you get some more informed feedback! --Tinned Elk (talk) 22:53, 27 November 2007 (UTC)
- The featured article and photo should have at least six or so alternating sections. Also, I think the portal might be improved if it included an additional section in which individual amusement parks were specifically featured. That's about all I can think of off the top of my head though. John Carter 19:20, 3 December 2007 (UTC)
- I don't understand the six or so alternating sections. Do you mean on the Portal page, or the article referenced on the portal page? Can you give more info or link to an example? Thanks.--Tinned Elk (talk) 00:50, 5 December 2007 (UTC)

- Comment -- Try using {{Random portal component}} to make the portal a bit more dynamic. Take a look at Portal:Sustainable development for an idea. Also, missing a Main Topics section, could also use In the news, Related portals sections as well. Cirt (talk) 16:22, 16 December 2007 (UTC).
- Thanks for the feedback. I've updated the portal to include 3 more random components - DYK, selected article and selected amusement park. Any other ideas to further improve it? Ideally I'd like to nominate it for featured portal in the near future. Many thanks, Seaserpent85 15:29, 18 December 2007 (UTC)

- More comments
- You should have at least (10) selections for Selected article, Selected Amusement Park, and Selected picture.
- Could still use an In the news section.
- Only the first letter of the first word of the headings of each section need be capitalized.
- You are missing a Related portals section.
