[edit] Portal:Louisville

After going through a peer review, taking months to slowly get it right, I believe that Portal:Louisville is ready to be considered for featured status. While there is still possiblities for expansion, there are always those possibilities. WikiProject Louisville has done a lot of excellent work, and I feel that this Portal does an excellent job of that, including the fact that it has served as a prototype and guinea pig for two other Portals currently in development. Please consider this worthy of Featured status.--Bedford 05:39, 26 January 2008 (UTC)

  • Support: A few suggestions—Sister portals/WikiProjects could be changed to Related portals/WikiProjects, which most featured portals have. Usually, featured portals have ...Archive/Nominations on the left and then Read more... on the right. Thanks for addressing all my comments at the peer review!

    • Comment: I didn't like how that looked at the Indiana portal, which is why I haven't implemented that way on Louisville's. If it really matters, I'll change it.--Bedford 17:35, 26 January 2008 (UTC)
  • Comment: Certainly a matter of personal opinion. Great work, [sd] 19:14, 26 January 2008 (UTC)
  • Support: This portal is in very good shape, and I applaud Bedford's efforts with it. The only change I would request before it goes featured would be to tone down the background color -- lime green isn't a color associated with Louisville in any way -- so perhaps use a light blue or light yellow, as blue and yellow are the component colors of the city's symbol.

    • Comment: When I was square dancing, the official men's shirt for the area square dancing association was lime green, which is what influenced me to choose lime. I'm affraid yellow in the background would clash, so I changed the background with red, which is also a primary color, and is the color that many of our local sports teams use.--Bedford 17:35, 26 January 2008 (UTC)
  • Comment: In my opinion, the red clashes with the blue and is too bright. I used a subtle gold that matches the seal. Comments? [sd] 19:14, 26 January 2008 (UTC)
  • It does highlight the "Show New Selections" very nicely. Nice choice of color.--Bedford 23:35, 26 January 2008 (UTC)
  • Support: I like the tweaks, I'm very thankful you guys removed that bright green. Jahnx (talk) 19:34, 27 January 2008 (UTC)
