Portal:Massachusetts
Self-nomination. I created the portal and have went through a portal peer review. After looking through some other states that are featured portals and improving mine, I think this portal is ready for a FP nom. STORMTRACKER   94  Go Sox! 19:01, 3 February 2008 (UTC)

 * Comments
 * Expand Topics setion. It gives me the feel of Categories section.
 * Mention some Requested articles in Things You Can Do section.
 * Selected Picture section image captions should have the source name.
 * Lack of archives in all the sections.
 * Seperate purge link is redundant of Show new selections.
 * Remove External Links section. --- Shyam  ( T / C ) 12:57, 13 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Oppose: I don't like the section external links, and the portal hasn't fundamental sections such attractions or selected quote. -- jskellj -  the nice devil  13:06, 14 February 2008 (UTC)
 * You love opposing nominations on minor details, don't you? OhanaUnitedTalk page 18:39, 20 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Support: A lot of sections are possible but each one adds to clutter. And I don't think any are required beyond those in the portal guidelines. I support this portal in any case. -Susanlesch (talk) 06:47, 19 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment Is it possible to have the "spotlight town" in randomized form? (Similiar to selected articles) OhanaUnitedTalk page 18:18, 19 February 2008 (UTC)
 * I could if you want me to. STORMTRACKER    94  Go Sox! 21:53, 19 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Well, then please change it. OhanaUnitedTalk page 18:39, 20 February 2008 (UTC)


 * While it may not warrant opposition in and of itself (though personally, I think it does), Brískelly's comments are inline with the FPo criteria, or at least, my interpretation of it. Furthermore, OhanaUnited's request has not been acted upon (as far as I can see); same applies to Shyam's comments.  I encourage the nominators to work on these requests, and to be more responsive in future FPoC nominations. dihydrogen monoxide (H20) 08:57, 25 February 2008 (UTC)
