I would like to nominate this portal for Featured Portal. Please provide suggestions on how to make this portal ready for it. Rahuljain2307 (talk) 17:57, 3 January 2013 (UTC)

Comments from Sven Manguard

I apologize in advance for how long and intimidating this list is going to be.

1. There are only six selected articles. There really ought to be 20, using FA and GA quality articles whenever possible.
2. There are only six selected biographies. Like selected articles, there really ought to be 15 to 20, using FA and GA quality articles whenever possible.
3. There are only six selected pictures. There really out to be 15 to 20, using English Wikipedia FPs, Commons FPs, QIs, and VIs whenever possible. If there's a shortage, you still need to make sure that the images are of high quality.
4. One of the selected images is used as an image in a selected article. You can use very similar images, but using the same one multiple times isn't advisable, because it doesn't look good if the same image winds up on the front of the portal in multiple sections at the same time.
5. If you're going to do a selected scripture section, you really need to have more than one to select from. At least 10, although as with everything else, 20 is the goal.
6. I think you should take the DYK section and break it down into sets of five, that rotate out randomly like 'selected _____' sections do.
7. You need to make sure that all of the items within a section (i.e. all of the articles within selected articles or all of the biographies in selected biographies) are roughly the same size. That way, the portal is the same shape when items switch out.
8. You should try and keep the images in the corners of the 'selected _____' sections the same size, also because it helps the portal keep shape. You can have the images in Selected Articles larger than those in Selected Biographies, but all of the articles within the Selected Articles section should be the same size.

I know this seems like a lot, but once you get in a rhythm, it goes by very quickly. You can build up a portal to a high level in about a week and a half, and from there, it's just a matter of polish to take it to FPO status. Sven Manguard Wha? 02:02, 20 January 2013 (UTC)
