Missing ?

Is something missing (I haven't read carefully) ...

This was added: Where the lead image is a portrait with the face looking to the reader's right, it should be left-aligned, looking into the text of the article. Where this is the lead image, it may be appropriate to move the Table of Contents to the right by using {{TOCright}}."

Wasn't this TOC alignment business removed because it overrrode WP:ACCESSIBILITY? SandyGeorgia (Talk) 15:59, 1 June 2008 (UTC)

This edit is missing in the updates; the April update give incorrect info about using TOCright, since the TOC issue was adjusted in May after the accessibility issue was raised at WT:FAC. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 04:51, 2 June 2008 (UTC)

NBSP

First time I've seen this; it needs to be fixed ...

"measurements in which values and units are separated by a space".

Changing it to "measurements" defeats the purpose of NBSP in many cases, like Boeing 747, Gemini 7 or 7 World Trade Center. The previous wording was much better; this is a step in the wrong direction, which will lead to poor line breaks. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 16:01, 1 June 2008 (UTC)

Maybe, Sandy, but I can only report. Fitly taken up at MOS talk, as you've done. Looks like this one will feature again in the June update. TONY (talk) 13:25, 6 June 2008 (UTC)

I am so glad you're doing these updates, or I wouldn't know about these little MoS changes until they happened to show up on a FAC. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 15:20, 6 June 2008 (UTC)

Thanks, Sandy. They are a considerable amount of work and take me away from FAC reviewing. Hope they're of use for WPians more generally, but there's little way of telling. TONY (talk) 15:53, 6 June 2008 (UTC)

They are useful, Tony, to me at least, and most probably to others as well. Carcharoth (talk) 12:55, 8 June 2008 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Featured portal criteria

There was a change of criteria in May.[1] I'll summarize the change:

1. Added "Article and biography summaries should not greatly excede a length of 200 words."
2. Regarding images, we added "images where appropriate, with good captions, linked credits, and acceptable copyright status
