[edit] Military of Greece

I created this portal recently with the intention of bringing it up to FA level. Before I even nominate it, I want some outside opinions. Kyriakos 02:41, 18 January 2007 (UTC)

Suggestions from Sd31415 (talk • contribs)

  1. Too much spacing after "The Military of Greece Portal" line.
    Done.
  2. In "Selected Biographies" box, I suggest getting rid of a few of the red links.
    Done.
  3. In "Selected Article" & "Selected Biographies" boxes, in my opinion, the "Read more..." should not be two lines after the end of the paragraphs, but right next to the last sentence, like this: (Read more...)
    Done.
  4. More selected biographioes, articles, & pictures are needed.
    I'll do this later and add an extra quote.
  5. In "Selected Quotes" quotes, I suggest distinguishing some way between two quotes.
    Done.
  6. Two much spacing after "What are Portals? | List of portals | Featured Portals" line.
    Done

I like the colors of the portal. Keep up the good work! Cheers! S.D. ¿п? § 12:51, 18 January 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for reviewing the portal, I really aprreciate it. I'll work on it and I'll fix all the queries that you have. Thanks once again. Kyriakos 22:31, 18 January 2007 (UTC)

Needs a lot of work:

  • Nomination pages for selected articles, selected biographies, selected pictures, and possibly quotes.
  • Quotes section needs to be redone: remove the titles from it, one or two quote at a time, format quotes properly using italic text and the person who said at its end, and include freely-licensed pictures of the people.
  • Remove the "The Military of Greece Portal" at the top of the page and put it instead of "Introduction" with a reduced size.
  • Don't enlarge the size of the selected pictures above their originals.
  • Remove the "Articles" section, unnecessary.
  • Seeing the massive amount of sub-categories, I suggest converting the categories section to a category tree such as in the electronics portal.
  • Remove all the image captions and thumbnails, these don't belong in portals.
  • "Featured articles" > "Featured content". I prefer not to limit to content of the section to avoid extra section for pictures, lists and such.
  • Can you explain the removal of links on two selected articles? I don't see any use in that.
  • The "Things you can do" section needs a different formatting, see the accepted format.
  • "Related content" > "Related portals", and expand it with other portals including the Greece portal.
  • Create "Did you know..." and "Associated Wikimedia" sections. Michaelas10 (Talk) 14:33, 19 January 2007 (UTC)
It should be pointed out that many of these suggestions are matters of personal preference, not requirements for featured portal status. ;-) Kirill Lokshin 17:41, 24 January 2007 (UTC)
Of course, although it's preferable to сreate a more constant and professional style on portals. Michaelas10 (Talk) 19:51, 22 February 2007 (UTC)
Suggestions from Kirill Lokshin
  • Remove the thumb markup on the images; they should just be given with a raw small size.
  • The "Things you can do" box may be better off as a single column, instead of stretching across both.
  • The quotes should be formatted correctly, and may be better off being rotated one at a time; see, for example, here.
  • Add the other related portals, as well as any relevant sister project links, to the "Related content" box; see, for example, here.
  • The selected picture needs an explicit image credit; see, for example, here.
