Portal:Mexico edit

Currently this portal has 10 selected articles all are good articles or higher. 10 selected biographies,and 11 selected pictures.Beware ofdog 02:55, 23 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Support. Beautiful intro graphic, and nice, interesting symbols section. The float CSS needs a tweak, maybe for smaller font sizes (for some reason, the left column can appear centered and above the other in Firefox Mac). Presents lots of information for visitors. Well done. -Susanlesch (talk) 06:14, 27 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I removed a photo from the intro and solved the column issue.--CPacker (talk) 07:21, 27 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Comments

Add few more sensible lines in the Intro section. Done
Need some work on Associated Wikimedia section. Kindly redirect the links to the appropriate page or search page.
Remove Flag flying days in Mexico from the Selected article list. It does not qualify to be a selected article. Done
I am quite misguided with the News archive. 2008 section also contains 2007 news. What is that for?. Done - Shyam ^(T/C) 10:55, 27 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Kindly do not remove older archives from news archive. Please keep them as well. Shyam ^(T/C) 06:50, 29 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

My comments:
- The #'s for biographies and articles are on the low side.
- Some selected pictures' caption did not bold the main subject.
- A large empty space on the right column.
- Instead of saying "More...", be more specific like "More selected biographies"

Oppose per Ohana's concerns, that have not been remedied. Also, ensure the portal meets the Manual of Style; there are some typos and other glaring mistakes there. Good job otherwise. _{WEBURIEDOURSECRETSINTHEGARDEN} ^{I push my hand up to the sky} 23:11, 26 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Closed as not promoted by OhanaUnited. There are many concerns regarding this portal (such as typos, alignment, # of articles) which requires extensive maintenance before it will reach featured status. OhanaUnited^{Talk page} 04:19, 28 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
