2. Add userbox {{User Freedom of speech}} to your userpage, which lists you as a member of the WikiProject.
3. Tag relevant talk pages of articles and other relevant pages using {{WikiProject Freedom of speech}}.
4. Join in discussion at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Freedom of speech.

Portal:Geography at peer review

Portal:Geography is now up for portal peer review, the review page is at Wikipedia:Portal peer review/Geography/archive1. I've put a bit of effort into this as part of a featured portal drive related to portals linked from the top-right corner of the Main Page, and feedback would be appreciated prior to featured portal candidacy. Thank you for your time, — Cirt (talk) 21:00, 12 November 2012 (UTC)

Your assistance would be appreciated

Hello there. I've got a few template syntax issues over at Wikipedia:Featured portal candidates/Portal:Massachusetts that I could really use your help with. When you get a chance, could you head over there. Just search for your name, I've said I'd ask you for help at each one, so they shouldn't be hard to find. Thanks!

Okay, sure, will take a look soon. :) — Cirt (talk) 04:23, 5 January 2013 (UTC)

The King and I is at FAC

Hi, Cirt. The King and I has been nominated for FAC. I know that you have reviewed articles in the musical theatre area before. It would be great if you could take a look at the article and give comments at the FAC. Thanks for any time you could spare! -- Ssilvers (talk) 00:28, 27 January 2013 (UTC)

Okay I'll try to get a chance to look it over. — Cirt (talk) 03:08, 27 January 2013 (UTC)

Closing steps for portal pro/de-motions

Hmmm... I'm sure someone else asked Gimmetoo (talk · contribs) if his handy bot could do any more of this, but I don't know what the answer is. There's probably only a limited amount of streamlining that can be done under the current structure. I'm not sure, for example, that the closer ought to have to leave a congratulations message for the nominator (that doesn't happen at FAC, although admittedly they have a greater turnover of nominations). Nor am I sure that delisted portals need to be added to Goings On - do delisted FAs get mentioned there? I'm not sure. Beyond that, we'd need to think more radically. Do we need Wikipedia:Featured portal candidates/List? Checking "what links here", it's not widely used. Does anyone use, or need, Wikipedia:Portal/Directory? Portal:Featured content is in dire need of a cleanup - the random selection of past TFAs and TFPs (some of which will now be delisted) hasn't been updated since sometime in 2009, and the situation is much the same for the FL selection (which isn't based in any way on the TFL system...). So I'd be tempted to abandon Portal:Featured content/Portals as {{historical}} on the basis that only the FPo maintainers keep that part of P:FC up-to-date and why should you/we bother if nobody else does? Thoughts? Bencherlite^Talk 15:25, 29 January 2013 (UTC)

The portal directory is the only place I know of to find portal maintainers, if that info isn't listed on the portal itself. As such it's particularly useful for working out who to notify when bringing featured portals to review (a task that sorely needs addressing atm). Espresso Addict (talk) 15:52, 29 January 2013 (UTC)
