[edit] Random rotations

This portal was initially begun in December 2006, and is still under construction in August 2007, so I started to add a random picture page to show variety and content to the portal, leaving the nomination and voting feature to accumulate new images for the portal. —Preceding unsigned comment added by SriMesh (talk • contribs) 04:18, August 28, 2007 (UTC)

[edit] British Columbia Topics

  • The Portal:British Columbia is not under construction any more!!! The news is delivered via robot, and all box sections rotate content, so the portal is always fresh. Please add new GA or feature articles, images, biographies, any DYK, quotations, etc etc if you wish.
  • Does anyone wish to have a peek at other provincial templates named Topics of {IE Alberta / Saskatchewan) and create a Topics of British Columbia template for use on the Portal instead of just a link to WikiProject British Columbia/List of British Columbia-related topics.
  • The Portal:Vancouver has come down from feature status due to inactivity, but there were some awesome articles, and images suggested in its heydey. I can change the format to rotational and robotic news entry so the content on the Vancouver Portal looks fresh with each visit if it is desired. See talk page. Let me know if the format is desired to stay the same or change to be similar to the BC Portal.
  • The Vancouver 2010 Winter Games is upcoming and news relating to the Games and venue sites... Vancouver Olympic Village and the Whistler Olympic and Paralympic Village can be now added to the above portals if wished.
  • Should there be a new rotating box section added to either BC AND / OR Vancouver portal in regards to the Olympics?
  • Please contribute to the above comments at Wikiproject BC.

[edit] Portal Help Section and Have a Question Query

  • Portal:Saskatchewan and Portal:Canada have new box sections with a help me section so new users know how to add content to a box template layout web page. Is this handy, or not? Should other portals have it or not? Portal:Saskatchewan has experimented with a Have a Question section, but it has not been necessary. SriMesh | talk 21:44, 13 January 2008 (UTC)
  • Maybe with the The Vancouver 2010 Winter Games a new Have a Question section may be of assistance on the WWW. But would it be for Vancouver or BC portal or both?SriMesh | talk 21:49, 13 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Quotations

Tried to make a new quotation page on wikiquote for the BC portal, but it is a candidate for deletion article now, but maybe it has enough votes to stay now. :-(  ;-) See British Columbia British Columbia on Wikiquote. Does anyone have or know any notable quotes about BC by notable people? Vote closes: 05:00, 20 January 2008 SriMesh | talk 21:59, 13 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Portal:British Columbia/Selected picture/9

Image:The-Three-Sisters-Szmurlo.jpg is not taken in British Columbia, but Canmore, Alberta. There is a Three Sisters Mountain in BC, but it's not the one pictured here. --Qyd (talk) 20:35, 17 February 2008 (UTC)
