[edit] Nominate articles for Portal:United States

I've worked for the past month to update Portal:United States and keep it better maintained. Though, I think the portal would be even better with broader participation. One way to do that is instead of choosing the "selected article" myself each week, if others would nominate articles and help make decisions. (same goes for pictures, though these are stocked up through July 29) Thanks. -Aude (talk contribs) 22:08, 28 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Suggestion

Biography section see Portal:Texas. Joe I 19:42, 6 July 2006 (UTC)

One issue with that is right now the columns have the same number of boxes, allowing the two columns to line up fairly evenly. I'm not sure what else to add to keep the columns even? -Aude (talk contribs) 20:53, 6 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Current Events Move

Hello Portal:United States members -

If you so desire, you can move Current events in the United States under the new current events portal (note that the Current events page is gone). Adopting the portal's layout is optional (although it would be nice if you did to some degree). Alternatively, you can move the current events page under your portal or just leave the page where it is (I don't think all of the current events pages will be moving into portal-space). joturner 04:15, 12 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Selected article

Is there some reason there is no article for this week? Instead there is a red link to Portal:United States/Selected article/2006, week 36. --Lethargy 20:44, 5 September 2006 (UTC)

fixed. --Aude (talk contribs as tagcloud) 22:14, 5 September 2006 (UTC)
