Portal:Gibraltar
Self-nomination I have being working on this portal for some time now. It is about Gibraltar, a tiny overseas territory of the United Kingdom. The portal recently underwent a peer review where a number of issues were put forward and addressed accordingly. It's exhaustive, ergonomic, and meets the criteria in my opinion, I hope you agree. Thanks, Chris.B (talk) 21:28, 1 January 2008 (UTC)


 * Comment: Looks great! A few more suggestions:
 * ¤ Wouldn't the Spain Portal also be a related portal?
 * ¤ When WikiProject Spain was added to Talk:Gibraltar, edit-wars and debates went on for months and a handful of users were blocked, so I don't think it's a very good idea unless consensus proves otherwise. :) Chris.B (talk) 12:03, 2 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Thanks for pointing that out. Still, in my opinion, since Spain is mentioned so many times in the introduction, the Spain Portal should be a related portal simply because it relates a lot to Gibraltar. [ sd ] 14:03, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

 * ¤ [[Image:Symbol keep vote.svg|15px]] Done, although I've had to split the categories into two columns to compensate for extra space at the bottom. Chris.B (talk) 12:35, 2 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Thanks! This would be another way to format the box. [ sd ] 14:03, 2 January 2008 (UTC)
 * I think that's actually more effective. Thanks for all your suggestions! Chris.B (talk) 14:42, 2 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment
 * 1) Stats: 10 Selected articles, 10 Selected pictures, 11 Selected biographies, 8 Selected quotes. Very nice.  Could use at least 2 more Selected quotes.

 * 1) Good use of Random portal component.
 * 2) Did you know... -- Could be easily randomized as well, would greatly reduce updating workload and help to make sure the portal doesn't get stale.
 * As soon as we have some more Gibraltar-related DYKs I'll implement randomization. It will certainly reduce workload. Chris.B (talk) 14:42, 2 January 2008 (UTC)


 * 1) Recent news -- Must be manually updated.  is working on some way to use the DynamicPageList code from Wikinews in order to automatically transclude entries cross-Wikiprojects, and that would help with this.  Alternatively, a bot might be able to to it.
 * Sounds like a great idea. Chris.B (talk) 14:42, 2 January 2008 (UTC)


 * 1) Topics and Categories sections could use a creative icon in the upper right hand corner, just would be a little added nicety.
