Portal:Basque
I am proud to have created Portal:Basque last year. Quite a few users have demonstrated interested in it and contributed for its expansion and content selection. It has been through a peer review which proved positive and brought some good changes to it. I believe that it currently meets the criteria for featured status thus I'm giving it a try. Even if not promoted, I expect further valuable feedback that'll contribute for the its improvement. Thank you. :-) Hús  ö  nd  03:03, 18 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Oppose: The portal appears not to have been updated recently. The selected article was last updated over a month ago, the selected picture in March, and the news last year. I think monthly updates are a minimum for featured status.- gadfium 06:15, 18 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Indeed. I was hoping that a promotion would bring more users to collaborate with it. We have a selected content rotation system that requires that a few users must work together in order to select content (selection can't be unilateral).-- Hús  ö  nd  13:26, 18 May 2007 (UTC)
 * I think your selected content system may be too ambitious for the number of contributors to the portal. I suggest you make a list of the next half-dozen selections, and invite people to add more or rearrange the order. Most likely, your selections will not be controversial. You can then set up a queue for the next six months (maybe just set up the next month in advance).- gadfium 19:51, 18 May 2007 (UTC)
 * It is proving ambitious at the moment. When it was discussed and created, there was always a sufficient number of participants and the content rotation system ran very smoothly. But currently it's preventing things to go on. I'll come up with a solution.-- Hús  ö  nd  02:37, 19 May 2007 (UTC)


 * Support&mdash;interesting content, and an attractive colour scheme to boot; one minor point: why is "stubs" (in things you can do) red linked ... shouldn't it be "Creation Requests" or something ~ Anthony  10:52, 18 May 2007 (UTC)
 * I noticed that. That template was created for WikiProject Basque, but I'll have a look at that minor  issue later.--  Hús  ö  nd  13:26, 18 May 2007 (UTC)


 * Support Very nice, good desgin coupled with good content. Dfrg.msc 11:07, 22 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Support - Great portal! However, I'd like to see the "related portals" & "wikiprojects" sections moved below the "Things you can do" section so that all the associated related pages sections are together. Is there any chance of swapping this around? Cheers, Spawn Man 06:06, 12 June 2007 (UTC)
 * (+) Beautiful work, Husond - informative and good looking. Might suggest moving the Wikiprojects section to where the Related Portals section currently is, and moving Related Portals above Associated Wikimedia. Just my opinion though :) Riana ⁂  09:20, 12 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Following yours and Spawn Man's suggestions, I have moved the "wikiprojects" and "related portals" sections to between "things you can do" and "associated wikimedia". Comments? :-) -- Hús  ö  nd  22:54, 13 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Very nice - looks even better now... The "Wikiprojects" section looks a little bit lonely now though because it's not as profound as the "related portals" section - it might look a bit better if you moved it above the "related portals" section, but still below the "to do" section. If not, would still look lovely... :) Spawn Man 03:01, 14 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Yes, per Spawn Man, I think the wikiprojects section would look better above the related portals section - also, since the to-do box and the projects box are both about collaboration, they fit well together. Riana ⁂  14:35, 14 June 2007 (UTC)
