[edit] Portal:Auckland
I see you have created this portal. I've started a discussion at Wikipedia:New_Zealand_Wikipedians'_notice_board#Portal:Auckland about it, which you might like to contribute to.-gadfium 06:42, 11 August 2006 (UTC)
- Hi Gadfium, I have answered on the notice board page. IndividualBeing 08:36, 11 August 2006 (UTC)
I don't want you to feel bad about portal:Auckland, but I have seen too many portals created and then not maintained. I maintain Portal:New Zealand with a little help from others, and Portal:Oceania with less help. I am trying to find a maintainer for Portal:Papua New Guinea, which someone started and then abandoned. I also have an oar in at Portal:Argentina with a hope of finding someone to take over regular maintainance there. It's my experience that most people don't stick around for the long haul with portals. Having another portal open up in the area I live in, without any groundwork done to build a support base, is not something I was looking forward to.
If you want to take Portal:Auckland forward, then please try to get a few other people interested. It might be easier if you adopt the standard portal layout using Wikipedia:Portal/Instructions. As I said on the Wikipedia:New Zealand Wikipedians' notice board, I think that potentially an Auckland portal is viable, but there has to be either one very dedicated maintainer (who should already have a lot of experience of Wikipedia), or a community of maintainers.
If you're already discouraged, then let me know and I'll put it up for deletion. I see you are involved with Portal:Humour, which I wish you all the best with.-gadfium 09:13, 12 August 2006 (UTC)
- Looks like a good start at Portal:Auckland. I suggest you avoid using the term "Featured" for articles / pictures / etc since that is reserved for items which have passed through fairly stringent Featured article / Featured picture etc criteria and judging. Portal:New Zealand originally used this term and we changed it since relatively few New Zealand articles are actually Featured articles.-gadfium 08:26, 15 August 2006 (UTC)

- Thanks for your comment, gadfium. I didn't know about that, but now that I do know, I'll change it right away. IndividualBeing 09:30, 15 August 2006 (UTC)

Hi! I'm Ral315, editor-in-chief of the Wikipedia Signpost. It appears that you have not edited in at least three weeks. To avoid spamming your talk page any further, should you be on leave, your name has been removed from the Signpost spamlist. If you wish to continue receiving the spamlist, please leave a note on my talk page to that effect, and I will restore your name, and keep you on the list indefinitely.
