[edit] Topics?
Whats the section "topics" for? →AzaToth 16:44, 9 March 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Fair use images
I don't think Fair use images can be used on a page like this. They need to be used for critical commentary in an article etc. So they should probably go.--Commander Keane 09:11, 10 March 2006 (UTC)
- I'm currently asking around about this. Because some Wikiportals have them while others don't. Jedi6-(need help?) 15:16, 10 March 2006 (UTC)
- As far as I can tell we can use fair use images for the same reason the main Wikipedia page can. Jedi6-(need help?) 23:41, 11 March 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Selected article
I understand that Lost is popular, but shouldn't we start with Featured TV articles before we start selecting random ones? Staxringold 21:42, 12 March 2006 (UTC)
- What is up right now is just temporary until the portal is finished. I'll probably change it tonight. Jedi6-(need help?) 21:45, 12 March 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Bad colours
Hi! Sorry to say, but the colors are bad - on the dark background, the letters don't stand out. This, is, by the way, a typical error made by people using LCD monitors, where contrast is much better than on CRT, and letters more legible than the same content on a CRT (funny that this problem is related to televison itself :) ). Well, please tune on the colours. I have no problem with the type of the colour itself, only their darkness! THX in advance in the name of all of us not having eagle-like eyes and using CRT monitors!

- They look fine to me and I use a CRT. Jedi6-(need help?) 04:52, 18 March 2006 (UTC)
- I 2nd this. Don't forget about readability for the Visually Disabled either. If you are colorblind this green on blue can be terrible to read I imagine The DJ 02:42, 21 March 2006 (UTC)
- Sadly we can't help everyone since their is several types of colorblindness so unless we use only black and white someone is going to have trouble. Jedi6-(need help?) 02:50, 21 March 2006 (UTC)
- That's no a reason to not take some basic rules into consideration. And one of those is "Use contrasting colors". We are the only portal i EVER visited that doesn't use "black on light colored background". C'Mon we have to be able to find something that's better suited then this???? This can't be the last available color scheme for a Portal. The DJ 03:09, 21 March 2006 (UTC)
- Oh I wasn't suggesting we don't change it only that we can't please everyone. Go ahead and be bold and change the colors. Azatoth choose these colors because my original chose was horrid. Jedi6-(need help?) 03:14, 21 March 2006 (UTC)
- I think this is a lot better, though perhaps i should inverse the page background with the boxed background. Cause now links are a bit too unclear i think... Also i think we should take a bit of formatting from the Portal:Film. I'm going to bed now, I'll see in the morning.The DJ 03:41, 21 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] tv shows
Is there a tv show project? I think scheduling of TV shows should be in a lower section instead of the first paragraph. TV shows go into syndication and get sold on DVD and cell phones. They also get sold in other countries. The scheduling does not tell me anything about the show. --Gbleem 19:45, 2 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Top article for TV portal
Hi, just come to this page so forgive me if I speak out of turn...
It's great to have a portal about TV shows (that's my interest) but I was surprised to see the 'top' article on the portal was about the history of TV, which (I'm guessing) is not otherwise the topic of the portal (or do I have the wrong idea?)
Having said that, not sure what would make a more appropriate one.. needs to be 'tv show overview' without focusing on any one show I guess...
BTW shouldn't the 'Selected picture' box have a picture in? --Mortice 22:36, 24 October 2006 (UTC)
