Other neat portal ideas for longer term

• Longer term ideas to think about from other portals:

1. Events section, like: "On this day" e.g., Biography, Religion, United States; "Selected anniversaries" e.g., War; "Calendar" at Holidays. Interesting idea of "Month selected anniversaries", at Oregon.
2. Model intro with some rotating images, after Portal:Oregon, Portal:Indiana, Portal:Iceland/Intro and Portal:Philosophy of science/Intro.
3. Revamp DYK sections w/ free-use images, model after Portal:Criminal justice and Portal:Oregon.
4. Portal palettes at User:RichardF/Palettes/Portals. Comparable color schemes can be developed from the various hue lists at User:RichardF/Palettes. Also see Portal:Box-header.
5. If there are a lot of categories, then categories section to 2 columns, like in Portal:Indiana.

   Also take some time to check out style/formatting at Portal:Indiana Cirt (talk)

Dispatch

Cirt, Awadewit suggested that you might be interested in writing a Signpost Dispatch article on Featured portals (the only area of featured content we haven't covered). Sample previous articles are at {{FCDW}}. We've covered:

• Featured content overview
• Peer review
• Did you know
• Featured lists
• Good articles
• Featured sounds
• Featured topics
• Images
• TFA
• And Featured articles many times: Wikipedia:Wikipedia Signpost/2008-07-21/Dispatches, Wikipedia:Wikipedia Signpost/2008-04-07/Dispatches, Wikipedia:Wikipedia Signpost/2008-10-13/Dispatches

None of them start out looking like that: if an editor initially just chunks in some text, many others chip in to tweak it up to Signpost standards. For example, someone wrote this, which Karanacs, Royalbroil and I turned into this, so if you just chunk in some text as a start, others can help finish it off. Another example, I put in this outline, and Karanacs brought it up to this. Other editors have written almost complete and clean Dispatches without much need for other editing. If you're interested, please weigh in and coordinate at WT:FCDW In case you're interested, you could just begin sandboxing something at WP:FCDW/Portals and pop over to WT:FCDW to leave a note when you're ready for others to help out. Regards, SandyGeorgia (Talk) 19:26, 17 November 2008 (UTC)

Will mull this over and most likely draft something up. Cirt (talk) 11:54, 18 November 2108 (UTC)

Razzies progress

• 15th Golden Raspberry Awards through 29th Golden Raspberry Awards = reformatting process done.
  • Note: Going to have to go back and model these after the modifications made subsequently to 29th Golden Raspberry Awards.
• 29th Golden Raspberry Awards - so far only one expanded with sourcing research. (WP:FL)
• Razzie Award for Worst New Star = reformatting process done, next to use Talk:Razzie Award for Worst Picture as model to reformat other pages in Category:Golden Raspberry Awards by category (with subsection breaks by decade)

Four Award

Do you know why the WP:FOUR award has not been updated in over two weeks?--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/WP:CHICAGO/WP:LOTM) 19:52, 14 May 2009 (UTC)

The award creator has notified me that he no longer want to do the reviews. I reviewed two nominees that I did not post. I need you or someone else to review the nominees I posted.--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/WP:CHICAGO/WP:LOTM) 01:17, 15 May 2009 (UTC)

What I am saying is that someone needs to second the nominations by reviewing them and moving them to the log. I am saying I can not second the nominations that I have made myself and that you are the most logical person to second those nominations. I will review most other noms, such as self-noms, but I need you to take care of the ones I have nominated.--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/WP:CHICAGO/WP:LOTM) 03:06, 15 May 2009 (UTC)

I see what you are saying.--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/WP:CHICAGO/WP:LOTM) 03:09, 15 May 2009 (UTC)

Hey Cirt! Do you want me to get the production information for Bart's Inner Child? TheLeftorium 19:43, 15 May 2009 (UTC)

Ok, I'll try to get it done on Sunday. :) TheLeftorium 19:47, 15 May 2009 (UTC)

re: Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Hamburgefonts

umm, was it merged? what happened to the history? -- OlEnglish ^(Talk) 12:35, 16 May 2009 (UTC)

recreation of article Kamran Jawaid

Hello Cirt,

I was searching for Kamran Jawaid and found that his article was deleted because of abuse. Kamran Jawaid is a famous media celebrity and one of the most prominent film critics from Pakistan. Please do authorize this page, as I believe that I can cite sources for the article.

Thank you.

Killing Your Number (Prison Break)

WP:RPPP

I have responded to your protection at WP:RPP, as I believe it is the wrong action for this problem. 24.68.247.69 (talk) 20:05, 17 May 2009 (UTC)

Please also see Talk:Chiropractic#A_patient-centered_approach.3F, as it shows that there HAS been a lot of discussion about this point, despite what QuackGuru might say. QuackGuru and others have been edit-warring to remove the text, when there is no consensus to do so. As stated on WP:RFPP, your judgement to semi-protect the article breaks the basic premise of wikipedia, which is that anyone can edit it. You have now made a decision that only editors with accounts are welcome to edit Chiropractic, and that the edits of those who have accounts must be better than those who do not have accounts. Some of us are more equal than others. 24.68.247.69 (talk) 20:26, 17 May 2009 (UTC)

Swissair

Hello

Are you an Admin? Finally someone does something about the article. There is one member who always retypes incorrect info into the infobox, various people have been correcting him, but he redoes everything. Currently the article is wrong again, as said User was the last one who changed it. another user asked him why he did it in the discussion page, but he did not explain. please change the last revision and block the page again.

thanks —Preceding unsigned comment added by 192.9.112.148 (talk) 08:19, 18 May 2009 (UTC)

the chicagio sun

I dispute the wikipedia reliability of the source (as I said) and as the page is a biography of a living person I removed it this is acceptable and I explained my actions. The sauce is unnessesary to the article . What info is it supporting? (Off2riorob (talk) 19:32, 18 May 2009 (UTC))

I looked at it and felt it a weak reliable source and I looked at what it was supporting in the article and I saw it was unnessesary and removed it , you will also see that as it wasn't really supporting anything I didn't delete any information only the web cite.

Re: Mumbai FAR

Sorry, I didn't get time to work on the Mumbai sourcing/copyediting last weekend as I had planned. But it is a high priority on my (too long) to-do list and I'll ping you later this week once I have made some progress, so that you you don't have to keep rechecking over the article history yourself. Cheers. Abecedare (talk) 05:26, 19 May 2009 (UTC)

Okay keep me posted. Cirt (talk) 20:39, 19 May 2009 (UTC)

User:Craig679

Greetings, I just wanted to say nice work! I was browsing recent changes this morning, noticed that several thousand characters had been removed from an article and decided to investigate. I discovered thast this guy had done nothing productive for WP and reported him. I left my computer and when I returned, you'd blocked him. So, once again, nice work! Regards, HJMitchell You rang? 10:07, 19 May 2009 (UTC)

Thank you. Cirt (talk) 20:39, 19 May 2009 (UTC)

You're welcome- I don't frequent WP:AIV much (and, with the joys of twinkle, I don't have to really!), but it's good to see such a swift response. HJMitchell You rang? 01:49, 20 May 2009 (UTC)

Summaries at Ali's Smile: Naked Scientology

I think maybe my questions to you about the summaries at the GAR have gotten lost in the shuffle. If you could look over the recent discussions again and comment on the summary issues, I would appreciate hearing your view on how the "Ali's Smile" and "Burroughs on Scientology" texts should be summarized. I will be away from Wikipedia until late this evening, but I will try to respond then. Thanks again! Awadewit (talk) 13:15, 19 May 2009 (UTC)

Okay I will take another look. Cirt (talk) 20:36, 19 May 2009 (UTC)

Block required

You blocked User:Yashveer r for his vandalism to film articles. Now Yashmanthegreat has appeared and he is making the same destructive edits. Since the names are so similar it probably is the same person. Can you block him before things get out of hand again? Thank you for your help. 209.247.22.164 (talk) 17:30, 19 May 2009 (UTC)

Never mind, someone else blocked him already. 209.247.22.164 (talk) 17:33, 19 May 2009 (UTC)

Protection

Please consider protecting the Moodiesburn article from new and unregistered users due to the array of recent vandalism from local hooligans. People are trying to improve this article but it seems like a playground for local morons. Duncun O'Leod (talk) 19:50, 19 May 2009 (UTC)

Operation Repo

Hi, I saw that you were protecting the Operation Repo page. It still shows as unprotectyed is there a time lag that goes with the protection before it's active? Hell in a Bucket (talk) 21:27, 19 May 2009 (UTC)

I do not think Lauren Rueda should be blocked for good faith addition of relevant links

Could you please re-consider your decision to block this editor? I have two articles on my watchlist that she added her links to; IMO both were relevant to the subject. I also noted my opinion on her talk page. betsythedevine (talk) 03:15, 20 May 2009 (UTC)
