Philosophy

Put suggestions for the portal to achieve featured portal status here. Michaelas10 (Talk) 22:20, 18 December 2006 (UTC)

• I'm afraid this needs a lot of work before become it becomes a featured portal. Here are my suggestions:
  • Intro should be shortened in at least one paragraph, I suggest removing the details on philosophy approaches.
  • Image at the intro should be bigger, and I prefer showing an image of a famous philosopher or such.
    • As a possible example, I added a randomly rotated "pholisopher of science" at Portal:Philosophy of science/Intro. Rfrisbie^talk 22:51, 18 December 2006 (UTC)
      • Exactly, this would be excellent here as well. Michaelas10 (Talk) 22:56, 18 December 2006 (UTC)
  • Related portals at the intro?
  • As seen in Internet Explorer, there are hardly any spaces between the sections.
    • This is a design feature of the tables used, not an artifact of any particular browser. Rfrisbie^talk 15:49, 20 December 2006 (UTC)
  • Philosophy should not be capitalised at the titles.
  • No question marks on the three first DYK's.
  • No image on DYK section.
  • The image of Isaac Newton should not be inside a frame, same in the "Things you can do" section.
  • "Things you can do" section is not formatted properly, and lists only a few articles.
  • "Western philosophical schools of thought"/"Eastern philosophical schools of thought" - Very boring sections. Why do we need to go in such details anyway?
  • Remove explanation on lists from the "Lists of philosophical topics" section, and remove the category link from there.
  • Remove "Reference links", this is not a WikiProject. A similar section was already removed from Portal:Fish.
• I have a lot more, but I'm going to leave it for the other reviewers. Michaelas10 (Talk) 22:36, 18 December 2006 (UTC)

Hey, Fairly nice laylout.I thought there might be to many boxes at first, but I do like the way things are separated.

• The related portals in the intro is a neat idea, tho I would like to see some pics with them for illustration purposes.
• The archives sections should link to the displayed content, not the actual article.
• And I would like to see a few more pics on the whole page where able, maybe in the selected article box and DYK box.

Other than those, looking good.Joe I 22:38, 18 December 2006 (UTC)

• I am not a portal expert but why is there no FP or selected picture. Also on Internet explorer there is hardly any whitespaces and it looks like it's all connected. Other than that (and what has already been said) This is a fine portal. — Seadog^Talk 23:43, 18 December 2006 (UTC)

• The portal has a very nice color choice. Most of my comments have already been brought up. However, the reference links do not look good with bullets and centered text. They should be displayed differently. This portal needs work but has potential (to be featured)!

• The Selected article and Selected philosopher could benefit from using a layout page to format the content, rather than substituting as is suggested at Portal:Philosophy/Selected article. See an example at Philosophy of science - Layout. Rfrisbie^talk 12:56, 20 December 2006 (UTC)
• Transcluding the selected pages, in addition to linking them, makes it easier for a reader to browse the archive page. See the above example. Rfrisbie^talk 13:26, 20 December 2006 (UTC)
• Add a nominations process for any selected content. Rfrisbie^talk 13:29, 20 December 2006 (UTC)
