Holidays

Just want to see what ya'll think. Anything goes. I will try to be adding more content, but I'm not sure how many good articles there are. Joe I 22:54, 5 February 2007 (UTC)

• As you pointed out the content will eventually need to be increased, mainly the selected picture, quote and biographies.
• Personally I hate the colours, red writing on a pink background in the headers is not good to look at.
  • They are meant to be Valentine's colors. I plan on changing every major holiday. I did have Christmas, will have St. Patrick's Day next. I will look around for abetter matching pair.
• I love the calender tab its a great idea

  • ) ... As for the calendar, would it look best to cut Jan off completly, rotate to bottom(Current month first), or just straight out Jan-Dec?

• Photo credits usually go between the image and the description.Hossen27 02:00, 7 February 2007 (UTC)
  • Done...Thanks Much :) Joe I 19:02, 7 February 2007 (UTC)

Nice work thus far, comments:

• Lacks proper nomination systems for selected article, images, biographies, and quotes.
  • Check
• The red colors don't go well together, please switch the coloring.
  • Same as above. They are meant to be Valentine's colors. I plan on changing every major holiday. I did have Christmas, will have St. Patrick's Day next. I will look around for abetter matching pair.
• "Wiki relations" needs to be split to two proper sections: "Related portals" and "WikProjects".
• The quotes section needs to be properly formatted using the quote markup.
  • Done
• Add a "Things you can do" section for holiday-related articles.
• "Selected article" images should be reduced in size. I also don't see any need in quotes on the section, instead you should put them in the quotes section.
  • Check
• Remove the song articles from the "Selected biography" section.
  • Every kid in America knows that Frosty and Rudolf are just as important as Santa.
    • Still, biographies should be on people, not songs and stories. Michaelas10 (Talk) 19:40, 22 February 2007 (UTC)
• The categories tab seems to have plenty of unnecessary decorations. I suggest adding only Image:500px-Xmas tree animated.gif on the top-right corner as being an official holiday icon.
  • There is no official holiday icon(shouldn't be), I feel this best represents with verity and only adds to the appeal.
• Move the tab context to Portal:Holidays/Categories in addition to the section itself as already done on Portal:Holidays/Calender.
  • Only naming of what is shown on page should matter. What if I wanted to add more later, we'ed have to rename it.
• Photo credits go right below the image as per Hossen27.
  • Check
• Put the entire name of the creator as an external link in the "Selected picture" section.
  • Check
• Add a "More about holidays..." link at the introduction.
  • Check
• "Holiday topics" > "Main topics". Michaelas10 (Talk) 14:24, 7 February 2007 (UTC)
  • Check ... Thanks Alot :) Joe I 19:02, 7 February 2007 (UTC)
• Hmm...obviously on the right track; I don't see any major problems. And Michealas10 already pointed them out (and they were fixed). I honestly thought it was a featued portal at first. I really like the calender; I think it is informative in all in all really helpful and interesting. ~ Arjun 13:59, 13 February 2007 (UTC)
