Portal:Cuba

Nominating this myself - have done much of the work on it. I hope it meets all the criteria for a featured portal. --Zleitzen 21:50, 28 December 2006 (UTC)

• Object
  • Something in the formating of the page Portal:Cuba/Intro is causing the sections on the right to center and the sections on left to show up below the right section when viewed on a wide screen monitor it seems fine when viewed through a 4:3 monitor but never the less it needs to be corrected.
  • The Selected article, picture, quotes, historical figure all need archives. Plus there seems to be no previous content.
  • The more featured pictures link should link to an archive of selected pictures about Cuba not the Featured picture page.
  • All Selected pictures need to have an image credit.
  • The links to Associated Wikimedia; Wikiquote, Wikibooks, and Wikisource don't exist they need to either be correctly linked or removed.
  • The topics themselves seem OK but they should be linked to the actually topic not a redirect to the topic. The same applies to the DYK section.
  • The background color of the table your using in topics should be set to transparent so that the text blends in the the background of the section. The Same applies to the table in Related portals.
  • There needs to be a way for visitors to nominate selected articles, quote, pictures, historical figures, etc.
  • The name of the historical figure should be a bold link to that persons article.
  • Can you tell me what your trying to do with the Featured articles section. Do you intend for this to be a list or are you wanting to display the article? If you are making a list then it should be named Featured content
  • Is there a reason you centered the text in Quotes. Its harder to read that way. --WilsBadKarma ^{(Talk/Contribs)} 04:38, 29 December 2006 (UTC)

• Your related portals are all bunched together now they need to be justified over the entire section no matter what the resolution it is viewed at.
• The Associated Wikimedia images and links are aligned left the need to either centered or justified.--WilsBadKarma ^{(Talk/Contribs)} 20:12, 3 January 2007 (UTC)

In addition to Wilsbadkarma's most of the objections, there are some more objections listed below:

• In The News section's heading should be In the news. Use strict naming convention. Section needs an archiving. Use strictly a reference with the news. Currently November 23 does not have any reference.
• Did you know? section's heading should be Did you know..., according to your DYKs prefixes. Use "?" in the end of all DYKs. Needs an archiving as well.
• Selected historical figure section's heading should be Selected biography. The portal is not about the History of Cuba, so the portal can contain living person's biography.
• Related portals section is quite dense in the centre. Could it not use the whole space provided in the section.
• What is the significance of the Image:Trinidad street.jpg in the portal. If you really want to use it, could you place it in the particular section. Personally, I do not seek any appropriate section for the image.
• Avoid redirect link for one and only one featured article: Ernesto "Che" Guevara. Shyam ^(T/C) 06:28, 29 December 2006 (UTC)

Object

• Quotes section needs an archive otherwise this section will become grossly oversized as there are countless famous quotes about Cuba that I could easily see would be added in the future.
• Topics section needs expansion. Cuba has been the centerfold for political history in the 1950's to 1980's. Even more so, they have much more culture that could be linked.
• I'm not too sure why Image:Trinidad street.jpg is included in the middle of the page. It also needs a caption if it can be explained.
• Selected Article needs an archive
• Selected Picture needs an archive
• Selected Biography needs an archive
• Did you know needs an archive.
• Not enough rotated content history.

Good luck! Langara College 00:35, 4 January 2007 (UTC)

• Object per Wilsbadkarma, Shyam, and Langara College. Archival and nomination systems are simply a must-have in featured portals. Also multiply styling problems, please compare this to our featured portals. Get rid of Image:Trinidad street.jpg. Michaelas10 (Talk) 10:37, 20 January 2007 (UTC)
