Portal:British Empire edit

Self-nom. The portal was recently peer reviewed, with all issues addressed. It's exhaustive ergonomic, and meets the criteria in my opinion, I hope you agree. Cheers, — Chris.B | talk 12:45, 24 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment - It looks excellent to me. But is there a need for the "British overseas territories" & "British Empire and Commonwealth of Nations" sections? It seems to contain overlapping information and it makes the page longer. But apart from that. Rudget.talk 14:35, 24 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
    • I'm glad you liked it :). The "British overseas territories" box was quite curiously the last thing I added amid some uncertainty. I was never very fond it anyway, so I've removed it altogether. The whole portal is more concise now, although I am more than willing to chop off anything else if need be. — Chris.B | talk 15:02, 24 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Your right I do like it. It deserves FPO now, in my opinion. It's also good to see you've carried out all peer review suggestions. Therefore, I support this nomination. Rudget.talk 15:04, 24 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Congratulations on your good work on this portal. A few suggestions —
  • Since you have More articles... and More pictures..., I would suggest changing More Biographies... to More biographies... and More new articles (in the Did you know... box) to More new articles....
  • I think the More at Category:British Empire wikilink isn't needed since the category tree below already links there.
  • In the Related portals box, What are portals? | List of portals | Featured portals isn't needed since it is already at the bottom on the portal.
  • In my opinion, since there is already Show new selections, Purge server cache isn't needed at the bottom.
However, since these are minor, I support. You might also want to consider removing {{Shortcut|[[P:BE]]}} from the introduction (see this discussion). Regards, [sd] 00:39, 25 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Done. Thanks, — Chris.B | talk 10:38, 25 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Suggestion- Can you please expand the list for tasks so that it is easier to access those pages which needs attention. for instance please add on the links for some of the article whcih needs to be expanded, cleanup etc. also try to create a category for pages needing attention related to british empire. rest all is cool. thanks, Sushant gupta (talk) 10:56, 25 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Done, well partly. I am unsure whether I should create such a category, first because it would be a bit of a self-reference and secondly it would not be in line with other portals. Otherwise, the tasks section has been tidied up as you suggested. Thanks, — Chris.B | talk 11:37, 25 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
why don't you start up the category under the parentage of Wikipedia:WikiProject European history. cheers, Sushant gupta (talk) 15:45, 25 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support There's a gap of space bottom right but otherwise it's very nice, good work. Cirt (talk) 01:21, 5 December 2007 (UTC).[reply]
  • Comment: Fixed — [sd] 01:29, 5 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
    • Thanks. (Note it only took you eight minutes!) -- Chris.B | talk 16:33, 5 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
