Portal:Amusement parks edit

Has just been through the peer review process and has had a lot of work done on including randomised content. Many thanks for your time in advance, Seaserpent85 23:16, 19 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

In portal peer review, Cirt was right. It's strongly recommended to have at least 10 items in each section. OhanaUnitedTalk page 00:17, 20 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Yep, I'm getting that sorted ASAP, hadn't expected such a swift reply! :) Seaserpent85 00:34, 20 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

  • If you started a Featured Portal Candidate discussion, you should archive the Peer Review. Cirt (talk) 05:48, 20 December 2007 (UTC).[reply]

The portal needs some corrections:

 Done Some of those were from vandalism and have been reverted back. Seaserpent85 00:35, 29 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Main topics section needs to be broadened. - Shyam (T/C) 05:36, 10 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment: A few suggestions —
  • In the introduction, Learn more... → Read more...
    •  Done
  • As pointed out by Cirt, more items are needed in each section.
  • An Associated Wikimedia box is needed (example).
    •  Not done I don't see the benefit in linking to numerous non-existing pages on other wikis.
  • Show new selections is almost blending in with the background. Perhaps you could change the color of Show new selections to white? Regards, [sd] 12:32, 27 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Not done Purely as I'm not sure how to change the colour of an external link. Seaserpent85 14:06, 28 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • checkY Done — [sd] 14:46, 28 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you for that, it was driving me crazy! Seaserpent85 00:35, 29 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment: A few more suggestions —
  • Things you can do: Although it has tasks from the Roller coasters WikiProject, it would also be appropriate to add tasks from the Amusement parks WikiProject.
 Not done At present there isn't a to do list on the amusement park project.
  • News: Amusement park news (which might sound repetitive) could be changed to News, Current news, or Recent news.
 Done Seaserpent85 20:12, 3 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • DYK:
  • For uniformity, More... → Read more...
 Done Seaserpent85 20:12, 3 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • More DYK items are needed (around 12–15 would be nice).
 Doing... Will be adding these as I find them. Seaserpent85 20:12, 3 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
 Done 12 up there now, fully randomised too. Seaserpent85 16:54, 8 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for keeping up with my suggestions! Cheers, [sd] 05:03, 29 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: If possible, an update to the news section would be good. [sd] 13:56, 5 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
 Done Seaserpent85 15:40, 8 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks! A few finishing touches—
  • Here are some things you can do to help the Roller Coaster WikiProject. could be changed to From the Roller Coaster WikiProject:.
  • The Main topics section should be moved to the right columns to balance out the columns. Struck out by [sd] on 00:08, 11 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • For uniformity with the other sections, An amusement park is → An amusement park is.
  • Like the to do and news sections, creative icons would look good in the DYK (example image), topics, and categories sections. Great work! [sd] 03:24, 10 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Another paragraph would be nice in the introduction. The featured Numismatics Portal has a nice introduction length of three paragraphs. Cheers, [sd] 12:32, 10 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
All  Done with the exception of moving the main topics section - from my setup, on average the columns are of comparable length? Can anyone else confirm if there's an issue here? Thanks for all the suggestions, sd! Seaserpent85 14:11, 10 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
← Never mind—you're right. Oh, and Shyam (T/C) suggested above that "Main topics section needs to be broadened." Happy editing, [sd] 00:08, 11 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Comment

Missing section: The portal is missing an Associated Wikimedia section. Cirt (talk) 08:38, 15 January 2008 (UTC).[reply]

It was suggested above, and the nominator replied, "I don't see the benefit in linking to numerous non-existing pages on other wikis." Cheers, [sd] 11:43, 15 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Hrm, really? Nothing even relevant on any other project? Not even worthy of linking through the Special:Search function? Cirt (talk) 10:46, 16 January 2008 (UTC).[reply]
The only other projects that contain anything are the commons and wiktionary, not exactly worthy of their own section, surely? Seaserpent85 13:49, 17 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
If Commons and Wiktionary have relevant connections, of course its worthy of an Associated Wikimedia section. Cirt (talk) 06:48, 18 January 2008 (UTC).[reply]
 Done Seaserpent85 10:41, 18 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support: Great work with the portal! Cheers, [sd] 13:47, 20 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
