[edit] Portal:Textile Arts

This portal had a prior peer review, and after giving some feedback there, that's when I began to get involved and do some formatting rework, with a lot of help from WikiProject Textile Arts.

Stats: (17) Selected articles, all with an associated free-use image, all of "B" class or higher, (9) Selected bios, all with an associated free-use image, all of "B" class or higher, (30) Selected pictures, (11) sets of 3 WP:DYK hooks, each with one free-use image per subpage, (25) Selected quotes. All of these subsections are randomized. The portal also has (10) Featured Pictures, which are displayed in the featured content section and the Selected pictures section.

Looking for some pre-WP:FPOC feedback. Cirt (talk) 11:53, 9 April 2008 (UTC)

Posted a notice about this portal peer review at the talkpages of WP:TA, WP:KNOTS, WP:WPArts, WP:FASHION, and WP:WPVA, when the review was started. Cirt (talk) 13:54, 11 April 2008 (UTC)

• Looks good on a quick survey nothing comes to mind, I'm afraid. Johnbod (talk) 19:52, 11 April 2008 (UTC)

No prob, that's quite fine, a valid response at a portal peer review, thanks. :) Cirt (talk) 21:13, 11 April 2008 (UTC)

• Looks like a nice, solid portal. The original color scheme is an "old fashioned" setup that's difficult to read. I tried out matching the project's color scheme to give it more of a signature look. RichardF (talk) 03:13, 12 April 2008 (UTC)
  • Coloring changes look good to me. Cirt (talk) 03:14, 12 April 2008 (UTC)
• The images in the intro, article and bio selections are pretty small and hard to make out (can you tell I have old geezer eyes? ;-). They probably would look nice at around twice the size. The selected bio image would balance out more as left-justified. RichardF (talk) 03:13, 12 April 2008 (UTC)
  • Increased the default image sizes, and left-justified the selected bio image. Cirt (talk) 03:19, 12 April 2008 (UTC)

• To see what you think about it, I added a frame of the same hue as the boxes (H42) to add a little more texture. RichardF (talk) 18:56, 12 April 2008 (UTC)
  • Looks great. I changed the "Show new selections" to white, but changed it back because the present way looks better with your formatting changes. Cirt (talk) 01:17, 13 April 2008 (UTC)
    • I love the new look, thanks so much; the new colors work really well with our nav templates (consistent branding!) and set off the images nicely as well. - PKM (talk) 19:52, 13 April 2008 (UTC)
