Portal:Alternative music
Portal was recently peer reviewed, with all issues addressed. I believe it's worthy of featured status. CloudNine 17:43, 14 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Oppose
 * Support Everything taken care of, good work.  Jo  e  I  03:43, 25 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Add  above the randomized boxes.
 * Added by  S.D.  on 12:02, 15 March 2007 (UTC)
 * News and DYK need archive links.
 * Added. CloudNine 17:09, 15 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Selected articles should also be bold linked at the beginning of the summary.
 * I believe they already are. Could you clarify? CloudNine 17:09, 15 March 2007 (UTC)
 * I added the link to the Nirvana article. Alternative rock in the intro needs to be linked the same way.   Jo  e  I  18:06, 15 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Yep, addressed your comment. CloudNine 18:35, 15 March 2007 (UTC)
 * No related wikimedia
 * Is this a requirement? I'm not sure if the other Wiki* projects offer much when it comes to alternative music. CloudNine 17:09, 15 March 2007 (UTC)
 * commons, books, quote, news, I'd say it's needed.  Jo  e  I  18:06, 15 March 2007 (UTC)
 * I believe I've addressed your comment. CloudNine 16:43, 20 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Color - pinks seems allittle gayish for alternative music.
 * I'm assuming this comment is a joke. WesleyDodds 12:24, 15 March 2007 (UTC)
 * No, not really. While color is not a requirment, it says alot about the portal.  Why would pink be the best?   Jo  e  I  18:06, 15 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Does it matter? I think the color scheme suits the portal as is. It's hardly an objection against the featured portal criteria anyway. CloudNine 16:45, 20 March 2007 (UTC)


 * Sense Portal:Music is in related portals, it's not needed at the bottom.
 * More content(articles/pics) needs to be added, this does not show you have a broad base of good articles to draw upon.
 * Added several more articles. Up to 8 selected articles now. CloudNine 17:09, 15 March 2007 (UTC)
 * I see nothing linkin to the history, which is one of the most important aspects. Should add to topics box.
 * The history of alternative music? That's already covered in alternative rock, which is in the major topics box already. CloudNine 17:09, 15 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Sorry, you have quite a bit to do.  Jo  e  I  05:41, 15 March 2007 (UTC)

Ok, well you've done alot, however a few small more issues have come up, not a problem tho:
 * Pics - Find a few more good pics, to atleast match the number of articles. I do believe there is plenty of subject matter.
 * Done.


 * Use WikimediaForPortals, and make the box you currently use 100% to include the 4 sister projects noted above(commons, books, quote, news)
 * Done.


 * Topics - add an instruments line; and if you can find more than the one list, add a list line as well.
 * What instruments are you thinking of? There's very few that are unique to alternative rock; so should it just be guitar, bass guitar etc?
 * Yeah, I was thinking just basic band instruments. They may not be unique to alternative, but are very important to it's development.


 * Add a section to listen to selected samples, such as what's on Alternative rock.
 * Since virtually all of our samples are fair use, would it not contravene the rule of no fair use on portals?
 * Didn't realize these were fair use.


 * And add Timeline of alternative rock somewhere.
 * Done.

Other than that, you're close. Jo e  I  20:45, 21 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Thanks for your review again. My comments are above.


 * Neutral. A few comments:
 * Associated Wikimedia: I suggest using the template.
 * Done.
 * Did you know: Several (about 3 or 4) more DYK's are needed (DYK's don't have to be on the main page in order to be in the portal).
 * Several more DYKs have been added.
 * I made this edit for consistency.
 * is not needed. Cheers,  S.D.  21:03, 20 March 2007 (UTC)


 * Several more comments:
 * Did you know: Archive → Archive...
 * Things you can do: For consistency, Creation → Create and Expansion → Expand.
 * News: Archive → Archive...
 * Done. CloudNine 22:01, 23 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Happy editing,  S.D.  21:25, 23 March 2007 (UTC)
 * The only thing left to do (from both my and Jo  e  I 's suggestions) is to add around three more selected pictures. Since all my other suggestions have been fixed, support. Good work!  S.D.  23:47, 23 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Added 3 more images; there's now 8 selected articles and selected pictures. CloudNine 13:30, 24 March 2007 (UTC)
