[edit] Portal:Houston
The Houston Portal was created last month. I feel that the portal does meet the required criteria, so I thought I would give it a try. Even if not approved, the process of review by other editors will be beneficial. Thank you, Postoak 02:59, 27 October 2006 (UTC)
- Not bad at all. A few things to be fixed, though:
- The redlinks for the archives/candidate pages/etc. should be turned blue, even if the pages they point to don't have much content.
- The "Categories" box should be labeled "Topics", as what's there aren't actually categories. A listing of categories should also be created, either separately or within the same box. Kirill Lokshin 16:54, 27 October 2006 (UTC)

- Thanks for your comments. I've updated the "Categories" box based on your recommendations. Also, I removed the candidate pages which seems to be the norm on most of the other portals. Postoak 03:14, 29 October 2006 (UTC)
- Thank you, Postoak! Thanks to your efforts, the infobox has grown into an FPC overnight! WhisperToMe 04:13, 29 October 2006 (UTC)

- Why does the portal use fair use (WP:FUC #9) images? feydey 11:39, 28 October 2006 (UTC)
- I recall there was a proposal to allow such use; do you know if it's gotten anywhere? Kirill Lokshin 16:27, 28 October 2006 (UTC)
- Even if fair use pics aren't allowed, I can take PD versions of many Houston pictures :) WhisperToMe 04:13, 29 October 2006 (UTC)

- I think it looks great, and I think there's a nice collection of sub-articles as well, better than some other cities. However, I would like to work on the quality of some of the articles (e.g. History of Houston). I'm not that familiar with the criteria for featured portals (vs. criteria for featured articles), but it looks great to me. Thanks, Postoak and WhisperToMe. Ufwuct 16:08, 29 October 2006 (UTC)
