Portal:Cumbria

Completely reworked this over the last week, and think it's looking pretty cool now. I have kept and reworked some of what was there before, but removed most of it. I hope to take this to FPOC soon, so any and all comments are welcome and appreciated. J Milburn (talk) 18:14, 8 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Some of the images in the selected articles need to be shrunk. At the moment, the one for Norman Birkett is pixelated and the one for Andrew Johnston is just poor quality (making it smaller will hide that). I like that there's a selected mountain and selected lake section, it makes the portal stand out from the usual type. Does the portal have to feature only decent articles? Because it seems bizarre that Carlisle isn't one of them. I realise it's nice to showcase the areas best articles, but some of the FAs and Gas just don't really have a Cumbrian "feel". It depends what you want the portal to do. Is it supposed to show off the best articles, or provide an engaging introduction to Cumbria? I'd prefer the latter, although it means showcasing poorer quality articles. That's partly because the Lancs and Cumbria project is still finding its feet. There are some fantastic buildings in Cumbria, such as Brough Castle and Brougham Castle (some of the best in the north west) which will be far more interesting than a species of sheep. I see you've tried to make do with what are limited resources, but it's a decent start.. Nev1 (talk) 18:40, 8 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
