Portal:Music of Australia[edit]

Old FPOC

Most of the issues from the old FPOC have been dealt with. There just isn't enough news in this genre to justify a news box, but otherwise I think it has everything needed. Let's do this! — Dihydrogen Monoxide (Review) 03:43, 24 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

  • Support. Old issues in previous nominations are fixed. (Optional) Try find something other than contemptory music. OhanaUnitedTalk page 08:46, 25 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak support I think I discussed this with DHMO once before too... I think the portal has a strongly rock slant. Very little focus is given to the growing and quite popular Australian hip-hop scene, and almost none to the ancient tradition of Aboriginal music. I realise that this is perhaps because these are fringe areas to work with on WP. So, for scope of material, I'm not sure this portal hits my buttons - in all other areas, it's great. ~ Riana ⁂ 09:32, 25 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
    • In my defense, I know nothing about Hip hop or Aboriginal music - I invite anyone who does to contribute content =/ — Dihydrogen Monoxide (Review) 09:42, 25 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
      • Oh noes... Powderfinger-cruft! I see seven instances of that band in the portal; a bit too much considering it's only one band. Mind tuning it down a little? --DarkFalls talk 23:00, 25 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
      • Support as the issue has been addressed... --DarkFalls talk 07:28, 26 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support although ensuring that the scope is broad and balanced, per Riana, should be improved. Daniel 11:27, 26 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Comments
  1. In "Selected article", the "More selected articles..." could instead say "Archives".
     Done — Dihydrogen Monoxide (Review) 22:49, 26 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  2. In "Did you know", "See more" could simply be "More...", I am noticing a lack of uniformity in this throughout each section.
     Done — Dihydrogen Monoxide (Review) 22:49, 26 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  3. Same with "Selected picture", the "More selected pictures", could instead say "Archives" or "Archive/Nominations".
     Done — Dihydrogen Monoxide (Review) 22:49, 26 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  4. Could use a nice icon in the upper right of sections "Things you can do" and "Wikiprojects" and "Categories".
    I added what I think you were referring to in the to-do and wikiprojects ones, but I can't think of anything for the categories page. — Dihydrogen Monoxide (Review) 22:49, 26 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  5. Missing an Associated Wikimedia section.
    Except on Commons, there is no associated Wikimedia on this topic. — Dihydrogen Monoxide (Review) 22:49, 26 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

  • Support - Per the changes addressed with regards to my points from above. Thanks so much, that was quick. Good work! Cirt (talk) 23:26, 26 December 2007 (UTC).[reply]
  • Comment: Good job. I'll try to use Richard's design and review checklist.
  • Introduction: Nice logo.
Naturally, I didn't make it...lincalinca (talk · contribs) did. And thanks :) — Dihydrogen Monoxide (Review) 01:57, 28 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Pictures:
  • The later selected pictures' text should be left justified like the first several's, instead of being centered.
Ended up centering everything. — Dihydrogen Monoxide (Review) 01:57, 28 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • In the first selected picture, People playing the didgeridoo → Didgeridoo players
Done. — Dihydrogen Monoxide (Review) 01:57, 28 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • This picture seems a little blurry. Maybe it could be resized a bit?
That's just how the image is. — Dihydrogen Monoxide (Review) 23:54, 27 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: I was thinking that reducing the width to 200px would reduce the blurriness. Your call — [sd] 14:37, 28 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Done. [sd] 01:50, 29 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • DYK: More... → Archives...
Done. — Dihydrogen Monoxide (Review) 23:54, 27 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • To-do: More tasks… → More... for uniformity with the other boxes.
Done. — Dihydrogen Monoxide (Review) 23:54, 27 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Header and Footer: The header browsebar could be put into the table like the footer currently is.
Done. — Dihydrogen Monoxide (Review) 23:54, 27 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Overall:
  • A space after Show new selected content... would be good.
I tried this and it looked icky...you're welcome to give it a shot. — Dihydrogen Monoxide (Review) 01:21, 28 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
checkY Done — [sd] 14:37, 28 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • I would suggest italicizing all box titles (excluding the introduction). Cheers, [sd] 22:24, 27 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Done - the major topics and intro ones aren't, everything in columns is. — Dihydrogen Monoxide (Review) 01:21, 28 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support: Thanks for addressing my comments! [sd] 01:50, 29 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
