  Nominators typically do not vote for their own nominations.--cj | talk 01:43, 27 July 2006 (UTC)

• Comment What immediately leaps out at me is the colour scheme. Although of course the silver and gold are apt, I find it hard to read the headings with the current colours. A darker gold would improve matters, I think. You could also, although this is only an option, not a requirement, automate the selected article etc. material. Finally, there only seems to have been one previous update of content, which makes it hard to know if it will be maintained in the future. However, I like the layout, and the pictures are excellent, although the selected one requires an image credit directly below it.-Estrellador* 10:26, 6 July 2006 (UTC)

• Object:
  • No overview of major topics.

    Done Joe I 14:35, 6 July 2006 (UTC)

  • Selected picture should have an image credit.

    On this image who do I give credit to? Joe I 13:50, 6 July 2006 (UTC)

    Presumably the original source of the image if you can find it; if not, at least the person who uploaded it. (I would be somewhat hesitant with using images without proper source information anyways, as they're likely to be deleted.) Kirill Lokshin 15:08, 6 July 2006 (UTC)

  • Strangely placed "More" link on the terminology box.

    Done Joe I 13:50, 6 July 2006 (UTC)

  • Extra spacing before the "Things you can do" box.

    Done Joe I 13:52, 6 July 2006 (UTC)

  • The "Category:" prefix should be hidden in the category listing.

    Done Joe I 13:50, 6 July 2006 (UTC)

  • Same thing for the "WikiProject" prefix and the WikiProject listing.

    Done Joe I 13:50, 6 July 2006 (UTC)

  • I find the listing of ad-driven sites in the "Web resources" box to be somewhat inappropriate.

    I deleted two, the only two I could find you may be thinkin of. Joe I 13:50, 6 July 2006 (UTC)

The update schedule doesn't seem to be deficient per se, but I would strongly second Estrellador*'s suggestion that the rotation of content be automated to the extent possible. Kirill Lokshin 13:10, 6 July 2006 (UTC)

The significant issues seem to have been resolved. Are you going to stick with doing updates by hand, or are you planning to convert to an auto-rotating scheme? Kirill Lokshin 22:45, 10 July 2006 (UTC)

I would much prefer to do it manually. It's something I like to do, lets me see all the articles. I think the previous three months or so show that it's possible, and if I find I can't, I'll change it to auto. Joe I 07:09, 11 July 2006 (UTC)

Okay, fair enough. Support from me, then. Kirill Lokshin 12:44, 11 July 2006 (UTC)

• Support Following your updates, it looks very good indeed. Estrellador* 07:38, 14 July 2006 (UTC)
• Support, supposing my formatting changes are maintained. On the whole, it's a fairly good portal. However, I'd prefer it if Things you can do was smaller and in the right column. Also, I'm a little curious about the selection of external links in Web resources: why only British and American (and one French) institutions? Perhaps it'd be better if only international organisations were displayed.--cj | talk 01:41, 27 July 2006 (UTC)
  • Theres atleast one international orginazation in only two of the three sections cause there is no "international mint". I'm ok with all your changes for now. I wasn't sure about the color, but maybe with all the white squares around the coins, it was best. oh well, thnx :) Joe I 08:19, 27 July 2006 (UTC)
• Support. Well done. —Nightstallion (?) 16:09, 31 July 2006 (UTC)
