Portal:Iceland
Greetings, portal reviewers! The Iceland Portal recently went through a portal peer review. It currently has 12 selected articles, 13 pictures, 11 biographies, 15 DYK hooks, 10 quotes, and 10 panoramas. The mentioned sections are randomized with the templates  and   (showing new content with the portal's cache is purged). The images shown in the introduction are also randomized, and the news section has recent headlines. I believe the portal meets the criteria for featured portal status. Thanks for your time—much appreciated! Happy editing, [ sd ] 01:54, 9 January 2008 (UTC)


 * The portal currently doesn't have a randomised DYK - obviously this isn't compulsory, but I think it would look better (as there aren't so many hooks that it changes regularly). An example of how to make a randomised DYK is Portal:Music of Australia. Support either way. &mdash; Dihydrogen Monoxide 02:07, 9 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Actually, the DYK hooks are randomized with the template . The coding tells the page to display one hook randomly from 1 through 5, one from 6 through 10, and one from 11 to 15. Thanks for your comment, [ sd ] 02:21, 9 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Oops, didn't notice that (I only checked the main portal page's code). Nice work. &mdash; Dihydrogen Monoxide 02:38, 9 January 2008 (UTC)


 * Support - brilliant work. Particularly like the attention to detail and the inclusion of a selected panorama! Sea serpent 85 02:07, 9 January 2008 (UTC)

 * Support Excellent portal. I would just recommend adding Portal:Faroe Islands to the list of related portals. Hús  ö  nd  02:19, 9 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Nice suggestion!  [[Image:Pictogram voting keep.svg|18px]] Fixed. [ sd ] 02:25, 9 January 2008 (UTC)


 * Support. Very nifty portal with the rotating intro images, panoramas and waving flag. However, red links just don't belong anywhere but in the requests list. RichardF (talk) 03:29, 9 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Thanks, and [[Image:Pictogram voting keep.svg|18px]] Fixed. — [ sd ] 03:58, 9 January 2008 (UTC)


 * Support. I especially like the rotation at Portal:Iceland/Intro. Cirt (talk) 05:36, 9 January 2008 (UTC).


 * Support A Very nice looking portal, so much so that it makes me want to visit Iceland. :) Chris.B (talk) 07:28, 9 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Me too—I haven't visited Iceland either! [ sd ] 12:17, 9 January 2008 (UTC)


 * Similar to Portal:Wine, change "Archive/Nominations" to "Other selected (articles/bios/pictures/panoramas)" OhanaUnitedTalk page 14:55, 9 January 2008 (UTC)
 * was directly taken from other featured portals that also have their content randomized (for example, the Chemistry, Dogs, Environment, and Sustainable development Portals); some have only, but I wanted to convey one could also nominate new content there. I haven't seen   except at the Cars and Wine Portals, both of which aren't yet featured. Thanks for the comment! Best regards, [ sd ] 00:13, 10 January 2008 (UTC)
 * I "loled" when you used Environment portal as your rebutal because it was me who built that portal. You beat me in this argument and I have to eat my words *yum* OhanaUnitedTalk page 01:26, 10 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Argument?  Happy editing, [ sd ] 02:23, 10 January 2008 (UTC)

 * Support - per many of the above. Obviously quite popular! :) Rudget . 17:42, 9 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Would it be possible for someone to do a relatively early WP:SNOW close as successful, with all of these Supports? If it's seen as a better idea to let this sort of thing run its course, that's okay too.  Cirt (talk) 11:23, 11 January 2008 (UTC).
 * Seeing as it was opened on the 9th, I'll close it around the 16th unless Ohana or Chris get to it first. (Or anyone else for that matter). Rudget . 19:10, 11 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Okay, sounds good. Cirt (talk) 23:01, 11 January 2008 (UTC).
