Selected Article, Picture, Biography

News section
Is it me or is the news section goofy looking? February looks all sorts of weird, whereas January is just fine... I'm not entirely sure on the fix for it, but I'll try to look into it. Im using Firefox, so I don't entirely think that it is me...Pvt Mahoney 13:43, 8 March 2006 (UTC)
 * I think I fixed it, but I had to move the note about the wikinews being related to peru to the bottom of the list. Hope this doesn't bug anyone, but it's the only way to make that box LOOK right. Pvt Mahoney 13:43, 8 March 2006 (UTC)

Almost a new portal or An Almost new portal
I've just created a new image and changed the color layout of the portal.-- Andersmusician  $  05:22, 16 May 2007 (UTC)


 * Looks good. I'll try and help out by updating the news section. We should also choose a new selected article/image/bio since the ones we have on now have been there for months.--Jersey Devil 05:23, 16 May 2007 (UTC)


 * I propose Norte Chico civilization as selected article as it is the only Peru-related article that has reached FA category. As for a new bio it could be one of the two in which the Wikiproject:Peru participants have collaborated: Andrés Avelino Cáceres or Andrés de Santa Cruz. What do you think? --Victor12 12:08, 16 May 2007 (UTC)


 * I think the norte chico civ is ok; now about bios, might be good to place them in alphabetical order, just 4 being more organized, since we don't have a log or something. -- Andersmusician   $  20:43, 16 May 2007 (UTC)


 * Good idea. Maybe we should make a list of articles, bios and pics for the portal, so that they could be changed once a week as in Portal:New Zealand. Incidentally this is a featured portal, I think the current Peru portal looks better. Once it is bringed up to date we can propose its promotion at Featured portal candidates. --Victor12 01:53, 18 May 2007 (UTC)


 * agree but deftinively we need a Article/image/news/didya/bio log. -- Andersmusician  $  04:35, 18 May 2007 (UTC)


 * now guinea pig is featured -- Andersmusician  $  04:38, 18 May 2007 (UTC)


 * 2 FA, 1399 to go. --Victor12 04:43, 18 May 2007 (UTC)

The Peruvian Flag and Peruvian Patriotic symbols
As I put a new flag in the portal, I also left the particular code in the source by commenting it out, so if you do not agree with how it looks you can change it for whatever reason that you might have. However I am taking the opportunity for presenting to you the following case (below), and if you have any idea or thought about it, please share it with me.


 * What I am suggesting is that we might need to identify the licenses of all related symbols about Peru, and making sure that images that are orphans be deleted or properly released under very well-clarified terms and conditions.


 * I think that there are various reasons why we want to do this, without even thinking in those types of vandalisms that quite often occurred, but any of those reasons are necessarily valid and I don't think it is a need for stating them in here.


 * Well, it is quite satisfying to see how good it looks the portal now, but as you know there are so many other entries about our country that need to be created or fixed and Wikified. Even more as it is indicated in our Wikiproject.
 * Please look for the page "List of Latin Americans" for instance, even César Vallejo, I believe, is not mentioned in it.


 * FYI-I started few weeks ago in this language version of Wikipedia, What a hostile environment comparing it with others. I found out.


 * I plan to do more of what little I have done, although too little it is within my range of time a personal triumph for me. I will continue, "Lento pero sin pausa".


 * My greetings and best wishes for all of you, hope to hear from you soon,


 * I keep forgetting it!, What a mule I am! - I know that our pages are frequently visited by Wikipedians of different nationalities, therefore please to those who are not Peruvians and for some special reason are interested, or very interested in Peru, do not hesitate, and contact me as well.


 * Of course, my first priority in this messages as well as in my heart, goes to all of you who are Peruvians or descendant of Peruvians, just have patience with me and with my replies, they all will get to you soon, if you write, that is.

Therefore, heeeereere it comes! The case of the Coat of Arms right below:

Coat of Arms of Perú
____ For your consideration, Peruvians. Sincerely ◙JMK◙NYC◄ I'am all yours -&quot;-Todos Llegan de Noche, todos se van de día&quot; 20:31, 18 May 2007 (UTC) ____


 * There are already properly sourced pics of the Peruvian Coat of Arms and its variants, check Coat of arms of Peru. They also look better than the one you presented above, don't you think? --Victor12 21:17, 18 May 2007 (UTC)


 * Hi, I will check those pictures. However, the fact remains quitely the same a Coat of Arms image exists, such as it has not being properly licensed and lately has created problems for some users. Therefore, I am [documenting] proposing a vote for its complete deletion, since, as you wrote, there are more and better despictions of our Coat of Arms. What do you think? By the way, How are you? and thanks for the interaction. Hope we are more than (3)three in here, so we could have a kind of a quorum. "History is important, it forms a great part of our identity, and we are making it right now" ◙JMK◙NYC◄ I'am all yours -&quot;-Todos Llegan de Noche, todos se van de día&quot; 21:58, 18 May 2007 (UTC)


 * According to Special:Whatlinkshere/Image:Coa Peru.jpg, no articles link to that particular file. It might as well be deleted. Greetings, --Victor12 22:11, 18 May 2007 (UTC)


 * And how do you explain this: [[Image:Coa Peru.jpg|coat of arms]], let me do it one more time, just in case wait ... [[Image:Coa Peru.jpg|coat of arms]]

I still proposing the vote, "History is important, it forms a great part of our identity, and we are making it right now" ◙JMK◙NYC◄  -&quot;-Todos Llegan de Noche, todos se van de día&quot; 22:33, 18 May 2007 (UTC)


 * LOL, I mean no article in Wikipedia is currently using that particular pic. Of course it is being used here, in your talk page and in the upload log archive. --Victor12 23:33, 18 May 2007 (UTC)


 * TADA! One of the pages with the coa_peru.jpg image in it Let's delete the file, somehow or modify its information.◙JMK◙NYC◄ -&quot;-Todos Llegan de Noche, todos se van de día&quot; 01:59, 19 May 2007 (UTC)
 * already nominated by me -- Andersmusician  $  05:47, 19 May 2007 (UTC)

How to avoid sections like the above one
I'll create the Deletion Department on the Wikiprojcet Peru -- Andersmusician  $  17:46, 20 May 2007 (UTC)

The death of César Vallejo
Does anybody knows why César Vallejo died en París and not in Peru? Hope you can help me, in this one. For those who are not Peruvians, also you can help me to figure this out. I proposing to add in our portal something about our poets in every edition. What do you think? Thank you for your support. -John Manuel&quot;-Todos Llegan de Noche, todos se van de día&quot; 00:47, 21 May 2007 (UTC)


 * Please bring this topic to WP:PERU, thanks -- Andersmusician  $  06:37, 21 May 2007 (UTC)

INTRO section
I think it's tooo long for a Portal, I suggest it to be reduced. -- Andersmusician  VOTE  05:33, 7 July 2007 (UTC)


 * Maybe we can delete the third paragraph. How long should it be? --Victor12 12:08, 7 July 2007 (UTC)


 * After checking Featured portals, I've found that almost all are half the size of Peru intro, so I propose to reduce it to the height of the pictures. -- Andersmusician  VOTE  04:54, 10 July 2007 (UTC)


 * Seems like a good idea. You can cut paragraphs three and four. --Victor12 11:48, 10 July 2007 (UTC)


 * done, I'm now removing paragraphs from "Selected article" box -- Andersmusician  VOTE  00:19, 11 July 2007 (UTC)


 * Great. Now, what about keeping the portal updated? We can use a bot to change the selected article/bio/pic/quote randomly or make a list of monthly (or weekly) changes. --Victor12 00:25, 11 July 2007 (UTC)


 * I know that only a template (Random portal component) is needed for random subpages update. However, on your second proposal I was thinking instead of "trying" to adjust these to the related current "coyuntura" (I can't translate that), this might make the portal more "alive" I guess (and making distance with others).-- Andersmusician  VOTE  03:10, 11 July 2007 (UTC)


 * OK, but first we would need a list of all the articles which are worth including in the portal. Currently we have only 2 FA and 4 GA, we need to make a selection of B class articles (currently 79) which are suitable for this purpose. How many do you think we'll need? --Victor12 03:34, 11 July 2007 (UTC)


 * Yeah good idea, but should we also consider importance for selecting B ones? maybe not, should we? (this link might help WP 1.0 bot log) -- Andersmusician  VOTE  16:01, 11 July 2007 (UTC)


 * I was thinking about that too. Maybe only articles of mid importance and above? Not sure about it. We need more opinions. --Victor12 16:10, 11 July 2007 (UTC)


 * I'm starting to think that importance is not that relevant, as long as the article is well-written and complying with B standards. Then, I propose to add "B" articles now by topic on the proposed list.-- Andersmusician  VOTE  23:27, 12 July 2007 (UTC)


 * Fair enough. Now, how many well-written articles do we have? --Victor12 00:39, 13 July 2007 (UTC)


 * I think that would be hard to determine, at least for me, since I don't have plenty of free time for wikipedia. It might be better to look to specific articles related to current events. -- Andersmusician  VOTE  23:47, 21 July 2007 (UTC)


 * As we don't have many good articles maybe it would be better to merge "Selected article" and "Selected biography" to just "Selected article". I think we can get about 12 good articles for this section. Limiting ourselves to articles related to current events would leave us with really few and contentous articles, for instance Alberto Fujimori. Out of my head I think candidate articles for inclusion in the Portal are Andrés de Santa Cruz, Andrés Avelino Cáceres, Navy of Peru plus our few FAs (Norte Chico civilization and Guinea Pig) and GAs (Machu Picchu, Ollanta Humala) all of which seem to be in good shape. --Victor12 18:41, 30 July 2007 (UTC)


 * yeah that's fine, don't hesitate in asking me how to place them.-- Andersmusician  VOTE  03:20, 1 August 2007 (UTC)

Tourism
I created the Tourism in Peru article and I think that it should be placed on the Peru topics template. I couldn't figure out how to add it myself. Vivaperucarajo (talk) 07:58, 30 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Done. --Victor12 (talk) 14:39, 30 May 2008 (UTC)

PERÚ: Official Tourism information
I created the Iperu, tourist information and assistance article in Spanish, English and French. This is the free and official service of the Peruvian Government that provides info about Peru: destinations, regular companies, suggestions, fares, and all info that people need to plan a trip to Peru. I think is important to improve this article (in all languages versions) and promote it in the Peruvian Tourism related articles (again, in all languages versions if possible). If you may, help translating this article to German, Japanise, Chinese and other languages. It will be good for Peru image as a World tourist destination. Remember that the Amazon River and the Peruvian Amazon are leading the New seven nature wonders and Machu Picchu is one of the Seven World's Marvels. --EdwinJs (talk) 16:23, 22 January 2010 (UTC)

Notice from the Portals WikiProject
WikiProject Portals is back!

The project was rebooted and completely overhauled on April 17th, 2018. Its goals are to revitalize the entire portal system, make building and maintaining portals easier, support the ongoing improvement of portals and the editors dedicated to this, and design the portals of the future.

As of May 2nd, 2018, membership is at 60 editors, and growing. You are welcome to join us.

There are design initiatives for revitalizing the portals system as a whole, and for improving each component of portals. So far, 2 new dynamic components have been developed: Template:Transclude lead excerpt and Template:Transclude random excerpt.

Tools are provided for building and maintaining portals, including automated portals that update themselves in various ways.

And, if you are bored and would like something to occupy your mind, we have a wonderful task list.

From your friendly neighborhood Portals WikiProject. Hope to see you there. Sincerely,    &mdash; The Transhumanist   07:41, 2 May 2018 (UTC)

2020 article selection criteria
Note: Content has been copied here from Portal:Peru/Selected article, and copy edited per recent changes to update the portal using transclusions. The use of transclusions provides readers with current, up-to-date information that is verbatim to that in articles. A consensus approving the usage of transclusion templates in portals was formed at this Village Pump discussion. North America1000 07:32, 24 March 2020 (UTC)


 * For the Recognized content section:


 * These are featured and good articles related to Peru which appear on Portal:Peru. Peru related articles promoted to these categories should be added to this list and those demoted should be removed. Each entry includes at least the first two paragraphs of the lead section modified so that the name of each article is wikilinked. Remember that per Featured portal criteria article summaries should not significantly exceed 200 words in length.

Note: Content has been copied here from Portal:Peru/Selected battles, and copy edited per recent changes to update the portal using transclusions. North America1000 07:32, 24 March 2020 (UTC)


 * For the Selected battle section:


 * These are war or battle articles related to Peru, preferably featured or good articles but certainly no Stub articles which appear on Portal:Peru thus, war or battle articles related to Peru promoted to these categories should be added to this list. Each entry includes the first two paragraphs of the lead section modified so that the name of each article is wikilinked. Remember that per Featured portal criteria article summaries should not significantly exceed 200 words in length.

2020 portal updates
The following updates were performed to the Peru portal in March 2020. North America1000 13:36, 24 March 2020 (UTC)
 * Updated portal using Template:Transclude random excerpt, which provides readers with current, up-to-date information that is verbatim to that in articles. A consensus approving the usage of transclusion templates in portals was formed at this Village Pump discussion. Used suitable article selections moved to the main portal page from Portal:Peru/Selected article.
 * Expanded portal with more FA-, FL- and GA-class articles placed in the Recognized content section: Peru national football team, Tutupaca, Coropuna, Pisco sour, Ubinas, Juan Bielovucic, Cutervo National Park, List of World Heritage Sites in Peru, Casiri (Tacna), Purupuruni, Sabancaya, Peru at the 2010 Winter Olympics, Mariano Gagnon.
 * Per a lack of a great number of recognized content articles (FA- and GA-class) available at this time for Peru-related topics, more B-class were added to a new Selected article section, to round-out the portal to provide a more comprehensive topical overview. The following B-class articles were added:
 * Machu Picchu, Ollanta Humala, Spanish conquest of Peru, Peruvian Navy, Jisk'a Iru Muqu, Irrigation in Peru, Trujillo, Peru, Club Universitario de Deportes, Reimond Manco, Internal conflict in Peru, Casma–Sechin culture, Vinicunca, Alberto Fujimori, Water resources management in Peru, Moche culture, Economy of Peru, Cenepa War, Peruvian Army, Chavín culture, 2017–20 Peruvian political crisis, Electricity sector in Peru, Alan García, Daniel Alomía Robles, Mineral industry of Peru, Immortal Technique, Inés Melchor.
