Portal:Photography
I created this portal just a little while ago, but it seems to meet all the criteria for a Featured Portal. Everything that should be current is updated automatically. The portal is quite comprehensive, providing a list of all topics in photography. -Gphoto (talk) 22:10, 19 October 2006 (UTC)


 * Object as follows:
 * None of the rotating content sections have archives.
 * The thumbnail markup clashes with the background color; thumbnail images and captions need to be manually aligned instead.
 * The selected picture is way too big, preventing the portal from adjusting gracefully to lower resolutions.
 * There's no auto-rotation on the "Did you know" and "Quotes" sections, and no history of updates to them.
 * No listing of categories.
 * No listing of related portals.
 * The "Things you can do" box is unacceptably self-referential; almost everything listed there has to do with the portal itself, rather than the topic. Kirill Lokshin 22:52, 19 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment
 * I think it is just a matter of slight modification. However I do not agree with DYK and quotes section, as I have seen a number of featured portals do not have them. The rotating content archive also can be found at Portal:Photography/LoST. I will fix some of these things. Cheers -- Imo  eng  07:00, 20 October 2006 (UTC)
 * I also have checked the possible related portals and found only one portal, which is pornography. So, I reckon one related portal is rather silly to be placed in this portal. About the categories, if you can see and search photography categories, all the contect is already there, in the "Photography Topics" box. Are you agree with me? Cheers -- Imo  eng  07:35, 20 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Update - hehehe. I have just put the category box, however, again, it is quite similar with the list of topics. Cheers -- Imo  eng  07:45, 20 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Things look rather nicer now, but you still need to figure out what you're going to do with the DYK and quotes; if they're going to be rotated, they need archives & some actual rotation.
 * As far as related portals are concerned, how about Arts, Visual arts, Film, etc.? Kirill Lokshin 17:17, 21 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Yup, the DYK is now auto-rotated, and related portals have been added. Now, auto-rotation for the quotes. Cheers -- Imo  eng  19:22, 21 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Now the quotes are auto-rotated. As said, related portals have been added.   -G  photo  00:51, 22 October 2006 (UTC)
 * They still need archive links; and the transclusion of the auto-rotated content should be done directly from the main portal page, rather than through a subpage, as otherwise the [edit] links on the portal don't actually point to the content displayed. Kirill Lokshin 00:56, 22 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Looks good now; support from me. Kirill Lokshin 02:47, 22 October 2006 (UTC)

Looks like everything has been done. :D Oh can I support? Because I am involved in the improvement as well. Cheers -- Imo  eng  01:18, 22 October 2006 (UTC)
 * You can support (with or without disclosure). Only nominators may not support, as their nominations are indicative of their position.--cj | talk 02:13, 22 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Thank you. Support from me. Cheers -- Imo  eng  03:00, 22 October 2006 (UTC)

I do not really know the steps involved in this, but is the portal now featured? Any feedback would be appreciated! Thanks, -G  photo  04:08, 22 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Portal:Indonesia was nominated after two weeks. So you have to be a little patient. :D Cheers -- Imo  eng  04:28, 22 October 2006 (UTC)


 * Support Wow, that's a huge pic :) A list of subpages on the talk page would be nice.   Jo  e  I  09:15, 24 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Why the WP:PHOTO (aka. WikiProject photo) shortcut on the portal? feydey 09:42, 7 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Portal:Photography is long, so the shortcut is nice. If there is a portal shortcut, I would be happy to change the current shortcut over to it.  -G  photo  13:52, 7 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Perhaps P:PHOTO like Portal:Tube changed to (P:TUBE). feydey 14:33, 7 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Done. Regards,  Gphoto talk  16:53, 7 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Sorry, I meant to write support here some time ago, but just forgot. Well structured portal and no objections now. feydey 00:49, 12 November 2006 (UTC)
