Portal:Weather
After a complete overhaul of the format, automation of all the selected content, and hours of blood, sweat, and tears, WikiProject Meteorology humbly presents this lovely Portal for review by the community. - Running On  Brains  07:01, 19 May 2008 (UTC)

Comments: Support. Looks nice. I too am confused and wonder if the portal is random or static. But if you mean you are going to maintain it manually that is a valid approach. Congrats on your hard work. —SusanLesch (talk) 05:07, 25 May 2008 (UTC)
 * I'm confused by your automation of the selected content -- is it possible to get another random selection? Espresso Addict (talk) 16:18, 21 May 2008 (UTC)
 * The format we have now is that we have one article selected to be featured on the Portal each month. Maintaining it is currently a collaboration between me and another editor from WikiProject Meteorology, but we are hoping to bring in more editors from the project to help. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Runningonbrains (talk • contribs)
 * Comment, it would be nice to see monthly updates (or the random portal component) used on Portal:Weather/Did you know to prevent it from becoming stale. Qst (talk) 16:31, 26 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Currently DYK articles are added as new Weather-themed articles are added (see here and here). Did you mean we should bring in older articles as well, updating the DYK monthly? - Running  On  Brains  03:27, 27 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment Support- introduction needs to be worked out. its too brief. Sushant gupta (talk) 02:27, 27 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Will work on it. - Running On  Brains  03:27, 27 May 2008 (UTC)
 * ✅ although I think it still needs a little tweaking, will work on it in the next few days.- Running On  Brains  03:24, 31 May 2008 (UTC)
 * thats great. thanks for making the required changes. Sushant gupta (talk) 12:57, 18 June 2008 (UTC)


 * Comment The "Quality articles" box doesn't open correctly, it gets all messed up. Also, the selected biography has been the same for several months IIRC. Juliancolton Tropical Cyclone  00:10, 31 May 2008 (UTC)
 * I've tried fixing the "Quality articles", it works correctly in Firefox, it only seems to get messed up in IE as far as I can see. Do you know where I can get help with that? - Running  On  Brains  03:24, 31 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Additionally, the selected biography should update tomorrow (June 1st). - Running On  Brains  03:26, 31 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Ah, ok. The quality articles box still doesn't work for me, but I guess there's not much you can do about it. One more comment: I'd add one or two of the many tropical cyclone FAs to the quality article box. Juliancolton Tropical Cyclone  20:00, 4 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Do you think? I've always been iffy about including TCs since they have a separate portal, but if you think there should be some I'm willing to add them.- — Preceding unsigned comment added by Runningonbrains (talk • contribs)
 * I don't think it's a big deal. Seems to meet the criteria. Support. Juliancolton Tropical Cyclone  15:30, 9 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment. If it is possible and within the scope, try add featured topics to Quality contents section. OhanaUnitedTalk page 01:47, 16 June 2008 (UTC)
 * ✅ - Running On  Brains  04:40, 22 June 2008 (UTC)
 * I've abandoned those troublesome show/hide boxes. Everything should work smoothly now- Running  On  Brains  08:24, 25 June 2008 (UTC)
