Wikipedia:Portal peer review/Comedy/archive1

Portal:Comedy
I revamped this portal quite a bit, it now contains (25) Selected articles, all of WP:FA quality status, (11) Selected biographies, all of either WP:FA or WP:GA status, (12) Selected pictures, all with free-use images (two of which are actually WP:FP quality), (16) Selected quotes, all with accompanying free-use images and links to notable individuals with existing articles on Wikipedia, and (41) Did you know entries. All of the above sections are randomized. Feedback/comments to help improve the quality of this portal further before heading over to WP:FPORTC would be most appreciated.

Everything looks fine to me (minus the stuff we disagree on you don't want to change ;-). I assume you're considering updating the news with the Wikinews bot. It would be nice if it would show dates. I think that's a weakness for featured portals, even though I won't bring it up there. RichardF (talk) 16:18, 9 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Comments.
 * Working on some of that stuff, but showing dates would be a question to post to . Cirt (talk) 05:54, 10 January 2008 (UTC).


 * I think the color and design of the portal looks too formal; Comedy portal should be more colorful.  Arman  ( Talk ) 03:16, 11 January 2008 (UTC)
 * I usually tend to leave the portals with the coloring that they have when I first come upon them. Any suggestions for some sort of alternative color scheme?  Cirt (talk) 03:17, 11 January 2008 (UTC).
 * Here are some example of colorful portals for consideration: Portal:Comics, Portal:Pokémon, Portal:Zelda, Portal:The Simpsons, Portal:Anime and Manga, Portal:Fish. I'm not saying comedy portal has to copy any of these, I'm quoting them just for "brainstorming".  Arman  ( Talk ) 03:53, 11 January 2008 (UTC)
 * I made some changes incorporating some of these examples, specifically Portal:Comics and Portal:Anime and Manga - what do you think? Cirt (talk) 04:00, 11 January 2008 (UTC).
 * The purple looks nice. Here's a colorful Comedy Central logo. A blue, yellow, gold combo might be interesting to test. RichardF (talk) 04:02, 11 January 2008 (UTC)
 * What about now? I experimented a bit more with the Royal Blue for the background border at the outside, light yellow for the background, and a Gold for the titlebackground.  Cirt (talk) 04:23, 11 January 2008 (UTC).
 * That's nice too. An even bolder way to go would be like moving Blue to the box-header title bar background with gold text and a yellow main background, then use gold for the table background! >;-o) Gotta go. RichardF (talk) 05:11, 11 January 2008 (UTC)
 * That would certainly be bolder, but I think at this point it's colorful and looks good. Cirt (talk) 06:33, 11 January 2008 (UTC).
 * I like the full purple scheme more. However, the current scheme is good, too and certainly better than the original scheme.  Arman  ( Talk ) 07:51, 11 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Oh well, I'm just going to stick with this version then, if that's okay with y'all. Thanks for the ideas everyone.  Cirt (talk) 07:53, 11 January 2008 (UTC).
