Portal:Massachusetts edit

Self-nomination. I created the portal and have went through a portal peer review. After looking through some other states that are featured portals and improving mine, I think this portal is ready for a FP nom. STORMTRACKER 94 ^{Go Sox!} 19:01, 3 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Comments

Expand Topics setion. It gives me the feel of Categories section.
Mention some Requested articles in Things You Can Do section.
Selected Picture section image captions should have the source name.
Lack of archives in all the sections.
Seperate purge link is redundant of Show new selections.
Remove External Links section. --- Shyam ^(T/C) 12:57, 13 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose: I don't like the section external links, and the portal hasn't fundamental sections such attractions or selected quote. --jskellj - the nice devil 13:06, 14 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- You love opposing nominations on minor details, don't you? OhanaUnited^{Talk page} 18:39, 20 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Support: A lot of sections are possible but each one adds to clutter. And I don't think any are required beyond those in the portal guidelines. I support this portal in any case. -Susanlesch (talk) 06:47, 19 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Is it possible to have the "spotlight town" in randomized form? (Similiar to selected articles) OhanaUnited^{Talk page} 18:18, 19 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I could if you want me to. STORMTRACKER 94 ^{Go Sox!} 21:53, 19 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Well, then please change it. OhanaUnited^{Talk page} 18:39, 20 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

This page is currently inactive and is retained for historical reference.
Either the page is no longer relevant or consensus on its purpose has become unclear. To revive discussion, seek broader input via a forum such as the village pump.

Not promoted. While it may not warrant opposition in and of itself (though personally, I think it does), Brískelly's comments are inline with the FPo criteria, or at least, my interpretation of it. Furthermore, OhanaUnited's request has not been acted upon (as far as I can see); same applies to Shyam's comments. I encourage the nominators to work on these requests, and to be more responsive in future FPoC nominations. dihydrogen monoxide (H₂0) 08:57, 25 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
