Portal:Norway

Looking for some feedback on this portal before taking it to WP:FPORTC. (10) Selected articles, all of "B" class or higher, (11) Selected biographies, all of "B" class or higher, all with an accompanying free-use image, (22) Selected pictures, (18) sets of WP:DYK hooks in sets of three, all with an accompanying free-use image, (12) Selected panorama images, and (12) Selected quotes - all those sections are randomized. The portal also has a news section updated by Wikinews Importer Bot, and a Selected anniversaries section which changes each month. Cirt (talk) 08:03, 11 March 2008 (UTC)

Looks good to me. One artsy comment. If you got rid of the main table frame, you could use a panoramic layout like at Portal:United States/Selected panorama/Layout. It allows for the horizontal scroll bar, which allows for wider and taller images - easier to see details. Unfortunately, the div overflow style won't work (at least for me) inside a table.

Nice work on that portal, which has some beautiful panorama pictures. At this point with Portal:Norway, I don't think the scroll function is really necessitated with the panorama section, because the images look fine w/ current display settings, but it certainly is something to consider.

Of course, that's a matter of opinion. The whole point of the panoramic scrolling setup is compressing a horizontally oversized image within the bounds of a standard display also compresses its height and viewability. For example, the height of Portal:Norway/Selected panorama/1 is about 193 pixels, while the height of Portal:Norway/Selected panorama/5 is only about 53 pixels. To make the detail in #5 more viewable, the panoramic style could be set to a width of 1500px or 2000px to get heights of around 150px or 200px, respectively. I'll use the US layout to put the 200px version here as a demo (compared to the Norway version RichardF (talk) 14:28, 12 March 2008 (UTC)).

Wow, I see your point, 2nd version is obviously much better. Can you help me make the changes? Cirt (talk) 20:35, 12 March 2008 (UTC)

 Done, I implemented the layout change, now to adjust the sizes. Cirt (talk) 21:27, 12 March 2008 (UTC)

 Done -- And I must say, thank you so much, RichardF (talk · contribs), with the new layout and image sizing, some of the images that were hard to make out before, now are truly breathtaking. Cirt (talk) 21:36, 12 March 2008 (UTC)

I like the bigger images too (obviously ;-). Keep in mind the div overflow doesn't work right inside tables (at least for IE, which I use). I took the table off the main page so the panoramas look great for us throwbacks too. RichardF (talk) 21:51, 12 March 2008 (UTC)

Okay, thanks again, it looks awesome. Cirt (talk) 21:54, 12 March 2008 (UTC)
