[edit] Portal:Oklahoma

I found this portal a wreck a month ago and have updated it alot. I have added Selected Bio's, Spotlight City, Featured Content, added many photos, added more recent news, and added the Random portal component. I think that it is Featured Portal material so I am nominating it.--CPacker (talk) 08:47, 25 February 2008 (UTC)

    • I fixed all of the issues for the comments above.--CPacker (talk) 19:49, 27 February 2008 (UTC)
  • Support Great work on this, CPacker. The content extensive and interesting, and as long us over at WP:OK keep it up to date, this should be a good addition to the Featured Portals. My only issue might be the color scheme. It could use a little more pizzazz; I'm just not liking the brown/beige thing. I'm thinking a very light gray background with shades of light to moderate green for the boxes and box headlines? I really like the interesting colors on Portal:Minnesota, but it's more of a casual request than a condition. Good work! Okiefromokla questions? 19:24, 2 March 2008 (UTC)
    • I actually think that the colors make it distinctive per Susanlesch, but I understand what your saying. The colors grow on you after awhile.--CPacker (talk) 19:58, 2 March 2008 (UTC)
  • Support — I'm so impressed with the amount of work CPacker has put into the Portal. He's right: A few weeks ago, it was a mess. Now, it's outstanding, full of useful, interesting information. As for the colors, I sort of like them as they are now, but I certainly wouldn't object to some tinkering. GreenGourd (talk) 00:48, 4 March 2008 (UTC)

Promoted . After just short of three weeks of discussion, it is evident that consensus supports the suggestion that the Oklahoma portal warrants featured status. Well done to all those who invested hard work in the project. AGK § 23:28, 14 March 2008 (UTC)
