[edit] Portal:Indianapolis

I this this article might be ready to be featured. Thus, I'm nominating it.--Bedford 01:08, 22 February 2008 (UTC)

• Support - The only thing that I think needs fixed is some of aesthetic things. The Indiana Portal has some great color detail. Otherwise looks good. HoosierState^Talk 01:35, 22 February 2008 (UTC)
• Support - Everything looks great to me. Bedford has done a great job on it. -- JT^Holla! 22:09, 22 February 2008 (UTC)
• Support. Clean, easy to follow lots of information. Good job. Gets my vote. -Susanlesch (talk) 23:33, 22 February 2008 (UTC)

Comments

• Lacks Topics section.
• Better use search link pages for Wikinews and Wikiquote in Associated Wikimedia.Y Done
• What will be shown from March 17th - March 23rd and so on in On this day section. You may add a link for adding a happening event in the section as well. You can also use some tag line, if you re not able to find an event on any particular day. - Shyam ^(T/C) 10:34, 27 February 2008 (UTC)
• One more point, reducing image size in the Intro section may sound good.Y Done Thanks, Shyam ^(T/C) 10:35, 27 February 2008 (UTC)

I've done the following:

• With the lists, categories, and the Indy Template subjects, I really didn't see a need for a Topics section.

I would say, this is one of the pre-requisites to be featured. Shyam ^(T/C) 06:24, 28 February 2008 (UTC)

I already have two portals featured, and neither had topics, nor did anyone miss them.--Bedford 06:29, 28 February 2008 (UTC)

I would say, it should have been added to them as well, before being featured. Rather than using lists section, you can mention useful articles link out of them, and may add some more useful. Shyam ^(T/C) 08:10, 28 February 2008 (UTC)

• Wikinews and Wikiquote fixed

  We still have a little time until those dates, so I didn't want to put a placeholder until absolutely necessary. We do have an entry for everyone from now to April 5.

I would not see any harms in having more than one happening events for a particular date, so it may be better having the link. If you do not want, it's absolutely your wish. Shyam ^(T/C) 06:24, 28 February 2008 (UTC)

• Images has been shrank.--Bedford 17:44, 27 February 2008 (UTC)

• Support I really like this portal, its very clean and easy to get the information that you need. The only thing that I would suggest is to change Portal:Indianapolis/Selected picture/2, it is definitely not Featured Portal material.--CPacker (talk) 06:14, 1 March 2008 (UTC)
  • I never cared that much for that particular pic myself (don't know why I used it in the first place). Anyway, I replaced it with another of the War Memorial that some French user put on the Commons.--Bedford 06:35, 1 March 2008 (UTC)
• I did some cleanup for you. But it looks good in general. OhanaUnited^{Talk page} 04:24, 6 March 2008 (UTC)
• Support looks clean, well-built. feydey (talk) 13:50, 9 March 2008 (UTC)
