Holidays
Just want to see what ya'll think. Anything goes. I will try to be adding more content, but I'm not sure how many good articles there are. Jo e  I  22:54, 5 February 2007 (UTC)


 * As you pointed out the content will eventually need to be increased, mainly the selected picture, quote and biographies.
 * Personally I hate the colours, red writing on a pink background in the headers is not good to look at.
 * They are meant to be Valentine's colors. I plan on changing every major holiday. I did have Christmas, will have St. Patrick's Day next. I will look around for abetter matching pair.
 * I love the calender tab its a great idea
 * ) ...  As for the calendar, would it look best to cut Jan off completly, rotate to bottom(Current month first), or just straight out Jan-Dec?
 * Photo credits usually go between the image and the description.Hossen27 02:00, 7 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Done...Thanks Much :)  Jo  e  I  19:02, 7 February 2007 (UTC)

Nice work thus far, comments:
 * Lacks proper nomination systems for selected article, images, biographies, and quotes.
 * Check
 * The red colors don't go well together, please switch the coloring.
 * Same as above.  They are meant to be Valentine's colors. I plan on changing every major holiday.  I did have Christmas, will have St. Patrick's Day next. I will look around for abetter matching pair.
 * "Wiki relations" needs to be split to two proper sections: "Related portals" and "WikProjects".
 * The quotes section needs to be properly formatted using the quote markup.
 * Done
 * Add a "Things you can do" section for holiday-related articles.
 * "Selected article" images should be reduced in size. I also don't see any need in quotes on the section, instead you should put them in the quotes section.
 * Check
 * Remove the song articles from the "Selected biography" section.
 * Every kid in America knows that Frosty and Rudolf are just as important as Santa.
 * Still, biographies should be on people, not songs and stories.  Michaelas10   (Talk)   19:40, 22 February 2007 (UTC)
 * The categories tab seems to have plenty of unnecessary decorations. I suggest adding only Image:500px-Xmas tree animated.gif on the top-right corner as being an official holiday icon.
 * There is no official holiday icon(shouldn't be), I feel this best represents with verity and only adds to the appeal.
 * Move the tab context to Portal:Holidays/Categories in addition to the section itself as already done on Portal:Holidays/Calender.
 * Only naming of what is shown on page should matter. What if I wanted to add more later, we'ed have to rename it.
 * Photo credits go right below the image as per Hossen27.
 * Check
 * Put the entire name of the creator as an external link in the "Selected picture" section.
 * Check
 * Add a "More about holidays..." link at the introduction.
 * Check
 * "Holiday topics" > "Main topics".  Michaelas10   (Talk)   14:24, 7 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Check ... Thanks Alot :)  Jo  e  I  19:02, 7 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Hmm...obviously on the right track; I don't see any major problems. And Michealas10 already pointed them out (and they were fixed). I honestly thought it was a featued portal at first. I really like the calender; I think it is informative in all in all really helpful and interesting. ~ Arjun  13:59, 13 February 2007 (UTC)
