[edit] Alternative music

I am (and the Alternative music wikiproject are) open to suggestions about improving this portal to featured status. All comments welcome. CloudNine 18:57, 12 February 2007 (UTC)

  • It does have some work to do; one of the first tings I noticed is that there is no "photo credit" for the selected picture. Please add one. Another thing; the portal says "Selected picture of the month (February), and same thing with the article. Please take out the February because it is kind of redundant and not needed. ~ Arjun 15:07, 14 February 2007 (UTC)u
  • Comments addressed - I have implemented your suggested changes. CloudNine 16:46, 14 February 2007 (UTC)

This portal is quite new and requires some expansion. Comments:

  • No fair use images on portals, this is an extremely important issue to be fixed perior the FPOC.
  • Remove the good article/featured article indicators from the "Alternative music topics" section; they're not included in the section's original purpose and are extremely self-referencing. Also expand that section and rename it to "Main topics"/"Major topics" to avoid repetition.
  • "Alternative music news" section:
    • Image at the "Alternative music news" isn't related to a certain entry.
    • References should either be the name of the reporting website itself (first-hand) or "Read more..."
    • It's pointless to break the section by months. Any reader can make this separation himself.
    • Format the dates properly per WP:DATE.
    • "News Archive" > "News archive..."
    • "Alternative music news" > "News", for the same reason described above.
      • The subpage should be moved in addition to the rename. Michaelas10 (Talk) 11:29, 24 February 2007 (UTC)
  • Create layout pages (e.g. this) for the "Article of the month", "Picture of the month", and "Alternative music news" sections.
  • Randomized display (e.g. here) > display per date. You can simply create subpages (1, 2, 3, 4...) for each article/picture, and list them in an archive page. This isn't a requirement for FPO status, but it's a huge benefit.
  • "WikiProjects" section should be expanded with more general WikiProjects, such as WikiProject Music.
  • Format the "Things you can do" section properly (e.g. here) using the WikiProject list. A better alternative to this would be creating a "Things you can do" subpage in the project and transclude in the portal, this way it'll be visible to more editors.

      • I believe I've addressed all your comments. Thanks for your thorough review. CloudNine 12:56, 14 March 2007 (UTC)
