Portal:Spain
Hello, all. I've been working on this portal extensively throughout this last week or so, and I now believe it meets all the featured portal criteria. Rather than weekly/monthly updates to this portal, I've used the Random portal component so readers can see a selection of new content whenever is best for them, rather than having to wait for myself to update it. A directory of all subpages can be found here, should this be necessary. Qst 16:44, 1 January 2008 (UTC)

Support - Portal has no errors anywhere I can see, and looks like it can be kept up to standards. Qst did a good job.Mitch32contribs 16:50, 1 January 2008 (UTC)


 * Oppose for now, suggest naming "Directory" back to the standard "Archive". Selected picture credits need fixing (credit goes to the creator, not the uploader). Archived News --> Archive. Selected quotes need punctuation. "Selected quote" archives? Expand "Spain topics" (see f.ex. Portal:France/Content topics). Fix "Associated Wikimedia" links. Add more DYK's (>10?). Add instructions how to add new SA's, SP's, DYK's, SB's. ITN needs sources and a copyedit. The portal's layout is good. Put the link/pages from here to the portal's talk page. I'd nominate the portal again later when it has more content and a peer review. feydey (talk) 17:15, 1 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Renaming directory back to archives: . This is because this Portal only uses the Random portal component, so the articles listed in the directory are not archives, as they will be shown all the time when a user clicks the show new selections button, so intentionally made a directory, rather than archives. Qst 17:31, 1 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Archived news --> Archives: ✅. Qst 17:32, 1 January 2008 (UTC)
 * In the news sourcing: ✅. That was always existent, if you look at Portal:Spain/In the news, they are just wrapped in tags. Qst 17:35, 1 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Punctuation on quotes: ✅. Qst 17:36, 1 January 2008 (UTC)
 * In the news copyedit:, I don't see where it needs copyedit. Sourcing: see above. Qst 17:44, 1 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Instructions for adding new selected articles and content: ✅, created it a little while back, can be found at Portal:Spain/Suggest. Qst 17:45, 1 January 2008 (UTC)
 * All issues here have now been addressed, whether they have a done or not next to them, they are still done. Qst 19:23, 25 January 2008 (UTC)


 * Nomination temporarily withdrawn. The issues shouldn't take that long to fix up, so this will probably be back up and running shortly. Qst 17:30, 1 January 2008 (UTC)
 * All Featured portal nominees should display consistency, having 1 item in the news archive gives no indication how well this portal has been maintained and makes it harder to estimate how it will be maintained in the future. I still suggest withdrawal, going through peer review and then if it still looks FP-ish come back. Best, feydey (talk) 17:37, 1 January 2008 (UTC)
 * I'll do that, I'm already ½ way through the issues you said :) Qst 17:42, 1 January 2008 (UTC)

Just thought I would put that out. Chris.B (talk) 18:18, 1 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment. Per feydey, suggest pulling this now and reposting it at Portal peer review. RichardF (talk) 17:25, 1 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment Portal:Spain/Things you can do has a couple of problems:
 * picture's → pictures
 * did you know's → Did you Knows?
 * "Help write new England-related articles"(!) → "Help write new Spain-related articles."
 * ✅. Qst 19:28, 1 January 2008 (UTC)

Comment I am confused. Is this a 2nd part of the nomination or a new nomination (a resubmission)? If it's a resubmission, then please move the old discussion into archive. OhanaUnitedTalk page 17:09, 8 February 2008 (UTC)
