Portal:Music of Australia
Old FPOC

Most of the issues from the old FPOC have been dealt with. There just isn't enough news in this genre to justify a news box, but otherwise I think it has everything needed. Let's do this! &mdash; Dihydrogen Monoxide (Review) 03:43, 24 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Support. Old issues in previous nominations are fixed. (Optional) Try find something other than contemptory music. OhanaUnitedTalk page 08:46, 25 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Weak support I think I discussed this with DHMO once before too... I think the portal has a strongly rock slant. Very little focus is given to the growing and quite popular Australian hip-hop scene, and almost none to the ancient tradition of Aboriginal music. I realise that this is perhaps because these are fringe areas to work with on WP. So, for scope of material, I'm not sure this portal hits my buttons - in all other areas, it's great. ~ Riana ⁂ 09:32, 25 December 2007 (UTC)
 * In my defense, I know nothing about Hip hop or Aboriginal music - I invite anyone who does to contribute content =/ &mdash; Dihydrogen Monoxide (Review) 09:42, 25 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Oh noes... Powderfinger-cruft! I see seven instances of that band in the portal; a bit too much considering it's only one band. Mind tuning it down a little? -- DarkFalls talk 23:00, 25 December 2007 (UTC)
 * ✅ (per IRC discussion) - DYK randomised. &mdash; Dihydrogen Monoxide (Review) 05:38, 26 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Support as the issue has been addressed... -- DarkFalls talk 07:28, 26 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Support although ensuring that the scope is broad and balanced, per Riana, should be improved.  Daniel  11:27, 26 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Comments
 * 1) In "Selected article", the "More selected articles..." could instead say "Archives".
 * ✅ &mdash; Dihydrogen Monoxide (Review) 22:49, 26 December 2007 (UTC)
 * 1) In "Did you know", "See more" could simply be "More...", I am noticing a lack of uniformity in this throughout each section.
 * ✅ &mdash; Dihydrogen Monoxide (Review) 22:49, 26 December 2007 (UTC)
 * 1) Same with "Selected picture", the "More selected pictures", could instead say "Archives" or "Archive/Nominations".
 * ✅ &mdash; <b style="color:#12A434">Dihydrogen Monoxide</b> (Review) 22:49, 26 December 2007 (UTC)
 * 1) Could use a nice icon in the upper right of sections "Things you can do" and "Wikiprojects" and "Categories".
 * I added what I think you were referring to in the to-do and wikiprojects ones, but I can't think of anything for the categories page. &mdash; <b style="color:#12A434">Dihydrogen Monoxide</b> (Review) 22:49, 26 December 2007 (UTC)
 * 1) Missing an Associated Wikimedia section.
 * Except on Commons, there is no associated Wikimedia on this topic. &mdash; <b style="color:#12A434">Dihydrogen Monoxide</b> (Review) 22:49, 26 December 2007 (UTC)

 * Comment: Good job. I'll try to use Richard's design and review checklist.
 * Introduction: Nice logo.
 * Naturally, I didn't make it... did. And thanks :) &mdash; <b style="color:#12A434">Dihydrogen Monoxide</b> (Review) 01:57, 28 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Pictures:
 * The later selected pictures' text should be left justified like the first several's, instead of being centered.
 * Ended up centering everything. &mdash; <b style="color:#12A434">Dihydrogen Monoxide</b> (Review) 01:57, 28 December 2007 (UTC)
 * In the first selected picture, People playing the didgeridoo → Didgeridoo players
 * Done. &mdash; <b style="color:#12A434">Dihydrogen Monoxide</b> (Review) 01:57, 28 December 2007 (UTC)
 * This picture seems a little blurry. Maybe it could be resized a bit?
 * That's just how the image is. &mdash; <b style="color:#12A434">Dihydrogen Monoxide</b> (Review) 23:54, 27 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment: I was thinking that reducing the width to  would reduce the blurriness. Your call — [ sd ] 14:37, 28 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Done. [ sd ] 01:50, 29 December 2007 (UTC)
 * DYK: More... → Archives...
 * Done. &mdash; <b style="color:#12A434">Dihydrogen Monoxide</b> (Review) 23:54, 27 December 2007 (UTC)
 * To-do: More tasks… → More... for uniformity with the other boxes.
 * Done. &mdash; <b style="color:#12A434">Dihydrogen Monoxide</b> (Review) 23:54, 27 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Header and Footer: The header browsebar could be put into the table like the footer currently is.
 * Done. &mdash; <b style="color:#12A434">Dihydrogen Monoxide</b> (Review) 23:54, 27 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Overall:
 * A space after Show new selected content... would be good.
 * I tried this and it looked icky...you're welcome to give it a shot. &mdash; <b style="color:#12A434">Dihydrogen Monoxide</b> (Review) 01:21, 28 December 2007 (UTC)
 * ✅ Done — [ sd ] 14:37, 28 December 2007 (UTC)
 * I would suggest italicizing all box titles (excluding the introduction). Cheers, [ sd ] 22:24, 27 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Done - the major topics and intro ones aren't, everything in columns is. &mdash; <b style="color:#12A434">Dihydrogen Monoxide</b> (Review) 01:21, 28 December 2007 (UTC)
