Hampshire[edit]

Any comments are welcome, particularly anything that would help the portal to reach featured portal status.-- Waggers 17:07, 6 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hey,

  • Intro - The shortcut is really taking up space. Personally I don't like them on the main page(talk would be ok), but you must have it, please put it somewhere else.
    • The map shouldn't need a caption. Do you have a seal or coat of arms you could use as well?
  • Related portals - Images would be nice to have.
  • Articles - Images shouldn't need captions.
  • Categories - The way it's laid out <categorytree> would work better.
  • Pics - Pics must fit on 800x600 screen. A photo credit is needed. Center the description.
  • All selected boxes - In the archives, instead of just a link to previous selections, please show it the way it appeared on the portal page.
  • Projects - Perhaps you could use Wikipedia:WikiProject England and Wikipedia:WikiProject UK subdivisions.
  • Hampshire Topics - Should be simply "Topics". Hampshire is what the portal is about, not a topic within. Seems like you should be able to find more topics, such as cities, football clubs, etc... The topics section should be fairly comprehensive.
  • Rotation - The "show new selections" button should be used.

Anyways, with the changes, you should be on you're way. Joe I 19:34, 7 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks very much for all that, some useful comments in there. There are one or two I disagree with (relating to the intro section) but I'll get to work on implementing the others. For the record, here's where I disagree:
  • WP:SHORT says that shortcut boxes should be at the top of the page
  • I've given the map a caption to make the distinction clear between the administrative county and the historical county - the portal includes Southampton and Portsmouth, so is about the latter not the former. But I'll look for a coat of arms or a map of the wider area. (In fact, if/when time permits, I'll try and emulate the map at Portal:Kent).
As I said, thanks of the comments and please don't take the disagreements personally, what you've said is very useful. Thanks again, Waggers 14:07, 8 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
