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)[reply]

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

Hi, I would like some new thoughts on this portal. I have developed it in the recent months so it updates every month. Particularily, I would like comments about the news section and the image section. Thanks for taking your time to review this! Shrewpelt (talk) 17:02, 22 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  1. Like the colors, for the news section try the WikiNews Importer Bot.
  1. All of the selected articles should be generally the same length.
  1. It would be nice if all the selected images had credits.
  1. The DYKs are missing a May section.
  1. Lastly, the edit section in the box headers would look cleaner without the arrow, and maybe a lighter blue by a few shades. If was hard to read on the LCD but fine on the CRT.

Good job. §tepshep¡Talk to me! 23:17, 23 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  1. This page (Portal:Mars/Mars news archive) Isn't needed with the bot functioning as it stands. But that doesn't matter really, just a pointer. §tepshep¡Talk to me! 16:06, 24 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I worked on this back in December and I've just got back into portals again, so I was wondering whether I could receive any feedback on the Wales Portal. Updates will be given and I am open to other suggestions. Rudget (?) 12:41, 8 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • Looks nice. Please add instructions/information how to add new Selected articles and SPs. Add DYK and News archives. Fix "Associated Wikimedia" links. It would be great if the Sel. articles (and SPs) were wikilinked at the beginning, at the subject's name. Any updates on news? feydey (talk) 13:13, 8 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Will be adding them all soon. Thanks for the swift response. Rudget (?) 13:17, 8 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Some points:
    • DYKs - there are currently none relating to Wales - according to WP:WALES  Not done
    • News -  Done
    • Selected article and SPs:  Doing... (may need some help from you on that) That's probably the only thing I don't know what to do with portals. :P
    • Hopefully that wraps it up. Rudget (?) 14:28, 8 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
All done. Now going to WP:FPOC. Rudget. 15:09, 20 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
