Oklahoma related Featured Contents
It will be a difficult task indeed, but could someone please help me allocate OK-related feautured articles/pictures? In order to raise the quality of the Portal in terms of presentation and contents, it'd be great to identify the best material WP has to offer about Oklahoma. Thanks!

- Good Oklahoma articles are going to be tough to find. I don't think there any Oklahoma-related featured articles, but there might be some that are good articles. I suppose we will have some work to do with WikiProject Oklahoma. -- Ash Lux (talk | contribs) 19:21, 10 June 2006 (UTC)
- I don't know if there are any Oklahoma-related featured pictures, but here are a couple of pictures I like:

- I'll suggest OU related pics too. Also, some pics Oklahoma related pics.--Nmajdan 18:00, 12 June 2006 (UTC)
Oklahoma Featured Article / Oklahoma Featured Picture
I don't know if any other portal has done this, but maybe we could create a template to go on talk pages for articles and images that appear here? Something like the ones used for a featured article {{featured}} and {{Mainpage date}}? Maybe we could have {{Oklahomafeaturedarticle}} and {{Oklahomafeaturedpicture}} and/or {{Oklahomaportal}}? This certainly might increase interest in the portal as well. -- Ash Lux (talk | contribs) 19:34, 10 June 2006 (UTC)
California State Highways has one, for example: Wikipedia:WikiProject California State Highways/Featured Articles -- Ash Lux (talk | contribs) 22:50, 10 June 2006 (UTC)
- Great idea, Ash - I'll try and design a model for such templates as soon as I have some time. We should also work on the sections of the portal that are still missing. I'll get to it as time permits. Cheers, Phædriel ♥ tell me - 11:04, 13 June 2006 (UTC)
- Actually. let's use selected instead of featured. I turned the normal featured star blue, if you'd like to use it. Seems appropriate anyhow ;-) -- Ash Lux (talk | contribs) 11:10, 13 June 2006 (UTC)
- OK, they're ready! (well, sort of anyway). I just created {{OKselectedpic}} and {{OKselectedart}}, which are meant to be added to the current selected picture and article respectively. When we select new ones, the creation of "former" versions should be in order, possibly making a Category and archive subpages as well. Please feel free to enhance these templates at will! Regards, Phædriel ♥ tell me - 18:37, 14 June 2006 (UTC)
- I added a date parameter to these things and reworded it to allow the template to stay on the talk page. Something similar to {{Mainpage date}}. -- Ash Lux (talk | contribs) 14:43, 15 June 2006 (UTC)
Related Portals
Should there be a related portals section? So we can include links to portals like Portal:United States, Portal:Florida, Portal:Texas, Portal:Utah, Portal:Vermont, and Portal:Wisconsin.--Nmajdan 15:30, 13 June 2006 (UTC)
- Sounds like a good idea. Probably should create {{UnitedStatesPortals}}. See Category:Portal:United_States portals that are ready to go too. -- Ash Lux (talk | contribs) 13:53, 14 June 2006 (UTC)
- Yeah, I saw that category too. I only pulled the actual state portals from that category. I didn't know if we should include city portals or the other ones.--Nmajdan 14:32, 14 June 2006 (UTC)
Hey
I'll help out. Although I have close to no experience in anything to do with Oklahoma, if you need any help on the technical side of things with the portal (that for some reason Phaedriel or other members can't do), feel free to ask me. Killfest2—Daniel.Bryant 06:38, 6 August 2006 (UTC)

P.S. I don't wanna change because people might get mad at me. --HoopoeBaijiKite 17:02, 21 November 2007 (UTC)
