Portal:India

I understand there is no separate peer review for portals and since there is now a featured portal thing, so I thought I'd ask here. Any suggestions/comments for improving this portal and elevating to featured status.--May the Force be with you! Shreshth91 ($ |-| ŗ 3 $ |-| ţ |-|) 17:22, 13 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Just wanna say that the people who are working towards the goal of getting featured status have done a wonderful, great job! I don't see anything worth nit-picking or needing fixing, but I don't know much about featured portals. Wonderful effort and teamwork! Rama's Arrow 05:35, 14 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Well, increasing the lead text to fill the entire box would be great. I thought a bit about it, but I'm not skillful enough to add a few sentences that will do justice to introducing India in its entirety. But someone must do this before we nominate the portal for featured status. deeptrivia (talk) 01:17, 15 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I modified the text a little bit. Is this any better? AreJay 19:33, 15 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Looks better. From a purely aesthetic point of view, it would look even nicer if it filled the entire box. deeptrivia (talk) 19:53, 15 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, I filled the entire box. I think the display depends on the resolution of your monitor. I'm working on a 1024x768 screen; your results may vary on a 800x600 screen. AreJay 03:51, 16 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

It has a selected article section. But does not provide a way to nominate an article for selection. - Ganeshk (talk) 01:44, 15 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

There is a link to nominate a selected article IP:SAC. Ganeshk, I think you did not notice it. It is in the same feature as we have in WP:FAC. One additional thing is that, it has selected articles on daily basis,(see archive for month of March) as main page has and selected pictures on weekly basis,(see archive). I think there is no fetured portal which has as daily's selected article. I think it meets all the criteria to be a featured portal. Shyam ^(T/C) 06:10, 15 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Shyam, Can a link be provided to Nominate an article on the selected article box similar to what you have in the selected picture box?

Ganeshk, it is done now. Shyam ^(T/C) 08:09, 15 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Looks good. Ganeshk (talk)

One noticaable thing in the portal: The page format changes automatically, even if it is being protected, the page would be ineffective. All the sections are being covered with templates, so for any editing there is need to edit templates only. That's a great thing and I want to add that it should be protected in future. I think it has all features what should be there in a featured portal. Shyam ^(T/C) 22:00, 16 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Looks pretty good. Only suggestion that I have is to consider making "Tasks you can do" section stand out by using a different font for the header maybe. Another small issue is the color scheme. It is really generic and safe. I would have really liked to see the flag colors or atleast some "Indian" colors as it is a big part of the culture. For instance, you can find shades of green and orange that could work well. It would give it more personality.--Blacksun 19:32, 20 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
