Portal:South Australia edit
Myself and Riana recently revamped this portal, using bits and pieces from other featured portals as well as some new ideas. I think it's up to featured standards, so I'm nominating now. Any suggestions on improving it further are much appreciated. Cheers, Daniel 04:43, 19 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- No selected bios? OhanaUnitedTalk page 06:24, 19 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- No in the news section? — Dihydrogen Monoxide 10:13, 19 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Support all seems to be in order. Looking for other interesting images etc to add as we go along. Please make any suggestions you can think of :) ~ Riana ⁂ 02:43, 20 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Per the wishes of the Adelaide cabal- No other problems. — Dihydrogen Monoxide 02:44, 20 December 2007 (UTC)[reply] - Comment -- Could use a couple more Selected articles and Selected pictures, at least. I agree with OhanaUnited (talk · contribs), it's a gap that there is no Selected biography section or something similar, but not necessary. Could the South Australian News have a link to some Wikimedia sister project like Wikinews, instead of an external link to a Search engine? Cirt (talk) 05:47, 20 December 2007 (UTC).[reply]
- "Could use a couple more Selected articles and Selected pictures, at least" — fair point. I might struggle with images, but there's at least another half-dozen articles we can use.
- "Could the South Australian News have a link to some Wikimedia sister project like Wikinews, instead of an external link to a Search engine?" — I thought that, but unfortunately I couldn't see a Cat:South Australia/Cat:Adelaide at Wikinews. Would linking to Cat:Australia be sufficient? Daniel 07:17, 20 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Linking to Cat:Australia at Wikinews would be fine, but couldn't you just create a new cat at Wikinews, that is, if there's enough material for one? Cirt (talk) 19:19, 20 December 2007 (UTC).[reply]
- I honestly kinda doubt that there is enough news for a separate category at Wikinews :/ but I'll see what's possible. ~ Riana ⁂ 20:11, 20 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Adelaide is boring, remember :) Daniel 10:46, 22 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- I think we could include a Topics section, inline with other Featured Geographical portals. If added, I'll most certainly support this nomination. Rt. 19:12, 20 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

- OK, got that going here. My knowledge of South Australian history is far from perfect though, and I'd appreciate someone in the know giving it a once over, just in case it's a bit skewed? Thanks for the suggestion, Rudget :) ~ Riana ⁂ 21:03, 20 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Hope they don't stick the boot in the locals for their bandwagon! (Nice job you two!) Support. Michael talk 10:14, 21 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Support, another great portal from Riana and Daniel :) Looks great. Spebi 21:09, 21 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

- Support: Great work. One little comment — South Australian News might be repetitive. It could be changed to Current events, Recent news, or the like. Happy editing, [sd] 02:56, 26 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
It is very fine portal. There are few small inputs, which could be helpful to improve the portal.
- Did You Know?' title can be replaced by Did You Know....
- this picture image size can be increased, if possible.
- Things you can do section can have some other tasks other than requested articles. Thanks, Shyam (T/C) 11:17, 26 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Support. Nice use of randomization. The picture in the "Did you know" section is a very nice touch. Cirt (talk) 21:24, 26 December 2007 (UTC).[reply]
Consensus apparent, all minor points of concern addressed within a sufficient time period. Rt. 22:30, 28 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
