Portal:IPhone OS
-- m o ɳ o 00:21, 30 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Useful: Covers a topic that is broad and interesting.  Future expansion is possible as time passes.
 * Attractive: With the color scheme pulled from the device itself, the simple black and white look frames the content without disrupting the flow of the articles.  Content is illustrated and formatting issues are nonexistent.
 * Ergonomic: It is coherently constructed to display Wikipedia's content logically and effectively in ways that enhance usefulness and attractiveness.  The key subject is displayed at the top, while supporting articles and content is shown further down.
 * Well-maintained: It is updated regularly to display different aspects of Wikipedia's content in an area and updated for the latest of content.
 * Adheres to WP:MOS and other guidelines, while showcasing other projects, illustrating content, and avoiding self-references.
 * Selected pictures ought to be larger and prominent over caption. Selected articles need to have a link to the full article/nomination page if applicable. Articles should not have refs in the boxes. "The iPad showing it's home screen." is grammatically incorrect, no apostrophe. Try using Wikinews Importer Bot for the news maintenance. Needs more related portals--computing, software, etc.? For categories, use . Should have a DYK section, a recognized content section too. The selected articles should be FAs/GAs, and the images FPs, if possible--put those up first, then if you only have 3 or 4, add more. "The IPhone OS Portal" should be lowercase  "i". None of the interwikis in associated Wikimedia go anywhere useful (get rid of Wikibooks/source/versity/tionary, they probably won't have search hits anyhow).  •  ɔ   ʃ   →  00:32, 30 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Actually, it needs rotating/random contents for all the selected bits. And use purge at the bottom.  • ɔ   ʃ   →  00:33, 30 April 2010 (UTC)

Can we move this to Portal peer review instead...?  • ɔ   ʃ   →  00:40, 30 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Actually, I agree. It's a little premature to get FP status. ~ Nerdy Science Dude  (✉ message • changes) 00:53, 30 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Um, no no. That's WP:FPOC. Right now, we are at the place for already featured portals to be reviewed and then kept featured or delisted...  • ɔ   ʃ   →  02:01, 30 April 2010 (UTC)
 * So we're in the wrong place to begin with. ~ Nerdy Science Dude  (✉ message • changes) 02:54, 30 April 2010 (UTC)

Moved and transcluded to FPOC, though the person might be looking for peer review instead? OhanaUnitedTalk page 06:17, 30 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Yeah... it's in no shape for FPOC yet, without rotating contents at all, and whatnot. I don't know whether it'd be better to close this and open a peer review or just move the page yet again.  • ɔ   ʃ   →  14:52, 30 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Indeed, peer review is the right place. It's premature to worry about FP at this time with this portal. ~ Nerdy Science Dude  (✉ message • changes) 19:53, 30 April 2010 (UTC)

Open with most individuals commenting portal is not ready for featured portal consideration and recommending to go to WP:PPREV first, will likely close and archive after one more week. -- Cirt (talk) 15:09, 17 May 2010 (UTC)
