[edit] Timeline for this Portal
Is there a specific amount of time that Selected articles, Did you Know and Selected Picture items will display before they are changed? *Exeunt* Ganymead | Dialogue? 16:58, 29 March 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Pic on the Arts Portal page
The picture used on the Arts Portal page to represent theatre is not very good, in my opinion. It's a great pic, but when you reduce the size, it is difficult to tell what it is. I think this image is much better and more representative. Are we the ones to decide on this or did someone in charge of the Arts Portal do it? *Exeunt* Ganymead | Dialogue? 17:03, 29 March 2006 (UTC)
- If you'd like to replace the present image with a better, feel free. However, the image you've proposed is not better. Any replacement would need to be a photograph in order to be consistent with the other portals. You might be able to find some clearer images in Commons. I found this image after a brief look-about. It might be a satifactory alternative.--cj | talk 08:58, 30 March 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Added new category: Plays by author
FYI, I went ahead and added and started populating a new category, Category:Plays by author, under Category:Plays. Note that books and albums are similarly categorized, so this sort of standardizes the organization of plays with those other Wiki categories. It also should help people find plays by specific authors using the Category system.
The format I used is really similar to the formats books and albums use. Also, note that since a playwright typically is only one nationality, all his plays likewise are under that nationality, so this allows you to place all that author's plays under a nationality as a subcategory. For example, if John Doe is an American playwright, then "Category:John Doe plays" can be listed as subcategory "Category:American plays|Doe, John". So rather than listing each of John Doe's plays individually under American plays, all his plays are indexed under one subcategory under his name.
Anyway, it doesn't seem like a controversial addition, but if anybody has a problem or question with what I set up, feel free to let me know. Dugwiki 17:21, 12 July 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Roman theatre
I was surprised to find no article about ancient Roman theatre. I know next to nothing about the subject (hence, why I looked up the article). Can someone do something about this?--24.2.75.186 07:13, 16 October 2006 (UTC)
