Wikipedia:Featured portal candidates/Portal:Ukraine

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

After working on the portal and looking at other portals for suggestions, I believe that it is up to the Featured Portal standard. The portal is active, covers a wide topic, and is commonly updated. I see no more problems with the portal, and I hope you will also agree with me. —dima/s-ko/ 22:46, 2 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

  1. Support as nominator. —dima/s-ko/ 22:46, 2 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  2. Support as one of the co-founders. I admit being biased though, but any criticism would be welcome. --Irpen 22:53, 2 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

    • See and Edit a full article here should be read more or more about (article) and the name of the article should be a bold link to the article not just bold.
    • There needs to be nomination links for all selected articles, pictures, and paintings
    • The In the news section should have bold links to the article.
      • Its not that easy to have bold links to the article... I mean, on Main Page we see summary with bold link leading to larger article. But here, we have summary and possibly a larger article, but the article does not contain the info we have in the In the news section. Is that alright? —dima/s-ko/ 01:48, 3 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
    • the Ukrainian editions of Wikimedia projects should either be centered or justified since on a wide screen monitor it aligns left.
    • Your topics seem to be categorized correctly but under each subject they're in no particular order they need to be at least alphabetical.
    • Both topics and WikiProject and collaborations have redirects to the article listed the links should go to the actual article.
    • Wikipedians in Ukraine should be in the categories section not the assoc. Wikimedia. --WilsBadKarma (Talk/Contribs) 00:01, 3 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
      • I have fixed most of the above concerns. I did not categorize some sections in Topics because some are in their historical appearance and others are by their status (administrative divisions, government). I don't understand what you mean by Both topics and WikiProject and collaborations have redirects to the article listed the links should go to the actual article. Could you please explain? —dima/s-ko/ 00:51, 3 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Thats fine being in historical order is no problem As for the redirects the link to the page redirects throught a different page for example You have a link in topics to Imperial Russia but the page for Imperial russia links to Russian Empire you can see this when you click on the link and at the top of the article you see "redireted from Imperial Russia" you can name the link what ever you want but it needs to translate to the actual page not a redirect page. you can view the actual page Imperial Russia here [1].
As for the news sections being bold the archive needs to be bold as well.
The Ukrainian editions of Wikimedia projects are now aligned left justified right and the images are gone. they can all fit on the same row the just need to be either centered or justified.--WilsBadKarma (Talk/Contribs) 01:27, 3 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Listing minor objections

[edit]
  • Use Selected article in the articles section as for pictures section has been used Selected picture.
    • The reason why "featured" is used here is that we have enough Ukraine related articles that passed the review and were promoted to WP:FA and we intend to rotate such articles in this window. "Featured" in Wikipedia context bears specific meaning and we want to emphasize that the articles qualify. Formerly, the picture window was also called "Featured" but it was renamed, if I remember correctly by the Wikipedia's Featured article director who made it a point that the word "featured" should be used carefully in Wikipedia context to maintain the prestigiousness of the label. For now, we do not have enough featured images related to Ukraine. That's why we call them "Selected". --Irpen 07:48, 3 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
      • Then I think, there is no need of nomination procedue.It is already a redundant link. If you are considering to add good articles in the list then make it selected. I am not sure about the procedure for featuring period for a particular article/picture and related maintenance. Shyam (T/C) 08:59, 3 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Use inter-wiki link for Wikinews, i.e. Wikinews on Ukraine, instead of external link.
  • Use Image:Cscr-candidate.png instead of Image:Former featured article candidate.png for featured article candidates in Things you can do section.
  • Place Associated Wikimedia and Ukrainian editions of Wikimedia projects at the bottom.
  • Related portals section has single portal at the top. Please reformat the section. Shyam (T/C) 07:01, 3 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
