[edit] Portal:Vancouver

As the nominator of this portal's successful featured status I find it even more difficult to fill out this candidate entry but I feel I cannot ignore what is so. This portal is no longer maintained nor as adequate content to be a featured portal at this time. I would say it fails almost every criteria point. Mkdw^talk 11:50, 13 May 2007 (UTC)

• Remove due to its current state.--cj | talk 12:41, 13 May 2007 (UTC)

• Remove. Can't believe there're red-links. OhanaUnited^{Talk page} 15:23, 24 June 2007 (UTC)
• Relist Request. The WikiProject Vancouver is going to try and update its content. For the month of June its been updated. I request that you give us until the end of July to make your final decision on its featured status. Thanks. Mkdw^talk 21:39, 29 June 2007 (UTC)

  Although updates have been provided to some sections (for this month, at least), others (Did you know, Quotes) remain neglected. I would like to see these updated (and perhaps updates for others into coming months) before I change my position above.--cj | talk 05:03, 8 July 2007 (UTC)

Have you tried using random portal component? This way you don't have to update as much. I still stand on my previous viewpoint, remove. OhanaUnited^{Talk page} 05:49, 8 July 2007 (UTC)

Hmm, well the Quotes section since its introduction 3 months ago has rotated qutoes (about 11) every 2 mins. Does anyone have any suggestions where I may find quotes as I foresee problems trying to continuously source quotes about Vancouver to keep the section 'updated'? I will look into putting the Did you know into a rotation. Mkdw^talk 07:50, 8 July 2007 (UTC)

How'd you go with the Did you know updates?--cj | talk 00:58, 29 July 2007 (UTC)

Not well. I don't know enough about coding to write a method for it to rotate pages unlike the quotes section. I've just been rotating them manually for the months. Kind of a hassle but gets the job done. Mkdw^talk 22:48, 8 August 2007 (UTC)
