[edit] Portal:Norway
Looking for some feedback on this portal before taking it to WP:FPORTC. (10) Selected articles, all of "B" class or higher, (11) Selected biographies, all of "B" class or higher, all with an accompanying free-use image, (22) Selected pictures, (18) sets of WP:DYK hooks in sets of three, all with an accompanying free-use image, (12) Selected panorama images, and (12) Selected quotes - all those sections are randomized. The portal also has a news section updated by Wikinews Importer Bot, and a Selected anniversaries section which changes each month. Cirt (talk) 08:03, 11 March 2008 (UTC)
- Looks good to me. One artsy comment. If you got rid of the main table frame, you could use a panoramic layout like at Portal:United States/Selected panorama/Layout. It allows for the horizontal scroll bar, which allows for wider and taller images - easier to see details. Unfortunately, the div overflow style won't work (at least for me) inside a table.

- Nice work on that portal, which has some beautiful panorama pictures. At this point with Portal:Norway, I don't think the scroll function is really necessitated with the panorama section, because the images look fine w/ current display settings, but it certainly is something to consider.

- Of course, that's a matter of opinion. The whole point of the panoramic scrolling setup is compressing a horizontally oversized image within the bounds of a standard display also compresses its height and viewability. For example, the height of Portal:Norway/Selected panorama/1 is about 193 pixels, while the height of Portal:Norway/Selected panorama/5 is only about 53 pixels. To make the detail in #5 more viewable, the panoramic style could be set to a width of 1500px or 2000px to get heights of around 150px or 200px, respectively. I'll use the US layout to put the 200px version here as a demo (compared to the Norway version RichardF (talk) 14:28, 12 March 2008 (UTC)).

Wow, I see your point, 2nd version is obviously much better. Can you help me make the changes? Cirt (talk) 20:35, 12 March 2008 (UTC)
- Y Done, I implemented the layout change, now to adjust the sizes. Cirt (talk) 21:27, 12 March 2008 (UTC)
- Y Done -- And I must say, thank you so much, RichardF (talk ยท contribs), with the new layout and image sizing, some of the images that were hard to make out before, now are truly breathtaking. Cirt (talk) 21:36, 12 March 2008 (UTC)
