Other neat portal ideas for longer term

• Longer term ideas to think about from other portals:

1. Events section, like: "On this day" e.g., Biography, Religion, United States; "Selected anniversaries" e.g., War; "Calendar" at Holidays. Interesting idea of "Month selected anniversaries", at Oregon.
2. Model intro with some rotating images, after Portal:Oregon, Portal:Indiana, Portal:Iceland/Intro and Portal:Philosophy of science/Intro.
3. Revamp DYK sections w/ free-use images, model after Portal:Criminal justice and Portal:Oregon.
4. Portal palettes at User:RichardF/Palettes/Portals. Comparable color schemes can be developed from the various hue lists at User:RichardF/Palettes. Also see Portal:Box-header.
5. If there are a lot of categories, then categories section to 2 columns, like in Portal:Indiana.

Cathedral of Magdeburg FAR

Hi Cirt. Unfortunately I won't have much time to review either the articles. I may give a try on the weekends, but otherwise the FAR may run its normal course. It is unfortunate for me, but i completely understand that this process is necessary to improve Wikipedia in general. Cheers -- Chris 73 | Talk 20:14, 29 August 2008 (UTC)

Michael Snow

Verifiability is a problem, since, as far as I know, his birth date and place have never been published elsewhere. But I do have personal and documentary proof. Ksnow (talk) 10:19, 30 August 2008 (UTC)Ksnow

Orphaned non-free media (Image:Red Hot Chili Peppers Krusty.gif)

Thanks for uploading Image:Red Hot Chili Peppers Krusty.gif. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 05:11, 1 September 2008 (UTC)

Tagged it with {{db-author}} to speed up the process, there are much better images in the article now. Cirt (talk) 07:39, 1 September 2008 (UTC)

Re: Wikipedia:WikiProject User scripts/Scripts/CloseAFD.js

Re your message: I imagine that it can be done, but I'm not the maintainer of the script. I would recommend that you talk to Johnleemk as he wrote the original script. I can probably make the changes, but it is often better to have the original author make changes than a third party and the original author will understand things better than I would. -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 23:44, 1 September 2008 (UTC)

Mick Woodmansey

Returning to the subject of Mick Woodmansey (who everyone else knows as Woody Woodmansey, although his real name is Mick), the second External link given in his entry http://www.nndb.com/people/503/000091230/ states that his religion is Scientology. Is that, therefore, good enough to give him cats British & English Scientologists? Johnalexwood (talk) 00:33, 2 September 2008 (UTC)

Re:Krusty Gets Kancelled

Yeah, I was originally going to wait until the weekend, but I noticed that WP:DOH is at 99 GAs right now, and that's my bid to get the 100th. However, Ctjf nominated When You Dish Upon a Star first, so it will likely become the 100th GA. BTW, could you take a look at Shii Ann Huang for me? An obviously biased person keeps adding unsourced facts to the page and criticizing me of being an unabashed fan of her (when in all honesty I had never heard of her before and when I read the page I found she lacked notability and nominated it for deletion). This user is willing to edit war (at one point violating 3RR) to keep his POV in the article and I was thinking full protection may be necessary. -- Scorpion⁰⁴²² 02:28, 2 September 2008 (UTC)

Leo Ryan

Just to alert you to a statement I made on the Leo Ryan talk page about whether he was the first, and only, member in the Congress killed in the line of duty, whatever that's supposed to mean. I don't see what weight is to be given to Lantos when he speaks in defiance of fact. 71.136.180.66 (talk) 07:01, 2 September 2008 (UTC)

Bugoy Bogayan

Hi. As a result of a recent AfD on this article, the decision was made to redirect, and you were responsible for performing this. Checking this morning, I noticed that one of the original article contributors had restored the article over the redirect without having made any substantial changes to the content. Personally, I'd regard this as not following WP guidelines - much the same as restoring an article deleted as a result of an AfD discussion. I've rolled back their edits on the article to your redirect, but would like an opinion as to whether I'm correct. There have been some....err..heated comments from the author(s) about my deletion proposal of this article (and several other related ones - Hansen Nichols, Miguel Mendoza (singer) etc.), so I don't want to be accused of being biased. I also think the author should be warned about this sort of action, but again think that if it came from me, even if worded carefully, it may be taken as a personal attack. I'd therefore appreciate any thoughts you may have about the appropriate course of action to take (if any). :-) CultureDrone (talk) 07:17, 2 September 2008 (UTC)

Is there any WP guideline/policy that actually says that this sort of activity isn't appropriate ? I can't find anything lurking in the AfD guidelines. If I could actually point them to something that said either what they shouldn't do and/or what they should actually do, it would make a much better point. (Incidentally, I rolled back rather than undoing as they'd made three edits). CultureDrone (talk) 07:24, 2 September 2008 (UTC)

CloseAfD script

Hi, I'm glad you found it useful! Unfortunately I don't maintain the script anymore - I don't have much time for even editing these days. Sorry, but I hope you still get some use out of it! Johnleemk | Talk 07:41, 2 September 2008 (UTC)
