2. Add userbox {{User Freedom of speech}} to your userpage, which lists you as a member of the WikiProject.

Portal:Technology selected articles

Hey there. I'm still spending most of my time on Wikidata and doing RL work (Wikidata is in a... how do I describe it... critical transition period), but I finally got around to finding some older technology FAs for you, to try to even out the timing.

• There are some train and bridge articles in Category:FA-Class_rail_transport_articles, including Niagara Falls Suspension Bridge, Hellingly Hospital Railway, SECR K and SR K1 classes or SECR N class, and Kinzua Bridge
• The Turk (a fun one)
• There are a ton of battleships at Wikipedia:WikiProject Military history/Operation Majestic Titan/Showcase, and picking one like Minas Geraes-class battleship or Brazilian battleship São Paulo will give you something from South America, which isn't really represented in the current selection yet.
• Gas tungsten arc welding
• Winter service vehicle
• Architecture of the Song Dynasty and Architecture of the medieval cathedrals of England have some technological aspects, it depends on how you compose the text in the portal
• Gunpowder artillery in the Middle Ages

I should, theoretically, have a few days at the beginning of March and a few days at the end of April, if we're still working on this then. Other than that, I'm really tied up until May. Sorry. Sven Manguard Wha? 02:50, 8 February 2013 (UTC)

These are really great suggestions, I'll get to adding some of them. Thank you! :) — Cirt (talk) 03:03, 8 February 2013 (UTC)

Portal work

Hi there,

Thanks for the review on Insurrection btw, I noticed that you've done a great deal of portal work and one of the things I'm hoping to do is improved Portal:Star Trek to featured status. However, I've never done any portal based-work before, and right now I'm concentrating on getting the number of DYK hooks up to 50 (for ten sets of five) and then the next step will be to overhaul the selected articles as they're pretty random right now as the vast majority of the Good Articles in the project are mine and have only been created in the last six months or so.

Once I get properly started on the re-design (which I'm going to aim to do as a mock up in userspace rather than risk breaking the existing templates!), is it OK if I occasionally bug you with portal related questions? My immediate thoughts for layout is to completely drop recommended articles, move the WikiProjects to a wider box down by related portals, and then try to balance the size of the other sections so that they don't just mess up the layout quite so much (right now on my screen at least, there is a big gap about halfway down on the left side created by the size of the sections on the right side). I was thinking that Portal:The Simpsons was probably a good example of what to base the layout on, taking into account the size of each box etc as the ones on the ST portal seem to be rather large right now. Any pointers would be greatly appreciated! :) Miyagawa (talk) 09:14, 27 April 2013 (UTC)

That would be amazing if you could do that. I'd effectively be putting it together through trial and error and so I'd be much happier with someone who knows what they're doing taking the lead! :) Miyagawa (talk) 18:05, 27 April 2013 (UTC)

FAC

Hi. I've put up Ra.One for an FAC, but it's seen little activity for some time. Could you take a look at it, and put up your thoughts? I'd like to get working on the article once more. Thanks. ~*~AnkitBhatt~*~ 15:40, 5 May 2013 (UTC)
