Portal:New England has been designated as a featured portal, per the consensus here to do so. – Northamerica1000 (talk) 16:19, 13 October 2012 (UTC)}}

Portal:New England
Portal built from practically nothing. Peer review revealed no issues. It includes 27 Selected Articles (All FA), 22 Selected Bios (All FA), 20 Selected Pictures (All FP) and a constantly-updating DYK section, featuring the last 5 New England-related DYK hooks to be featured on the Main Page. I'm more than willing to do additional work to bring this to Featured status. Achowat (talk) 18:36, 8 August 2012 (UTC)

 * Support the portal meets the criteria. Good work. BencherliteTalk 20:24, 14 August 2012 (UTC)


 * Support i'm not an expert but this portal seems to meet the criteria listed at WP:WIAFPo. benzband  ( talk ) 13:33, 15 August 2012 (UTC)


 * Bencherlite appears to have covered most of the obvious, minor improvements that were necessary. Generally, the portal is engaging to read, provides a sound overview of the topic, and selects content that is likely to interest the reader enough to prompt further reading. I made some very minor improvements to the lead's prose, but some of these may come down to editorial preference so feel free to revert any of my changes you do not like. I would have ended each selected picture's caption with a full stop, but I understand that many editors do not think captions (much like headers) should be treated as a proper sentence—and in any case this point is so incredibly minor that it is probably not even worth further discussion. The portal obviously satisfies the featured criteria, and I commend the nominator for his efforts there. Support promotion. AGK  [•] 22:14, 15 August 2012 (UTC)
