Wikipedia:Portal peer review/Library and information science/archive1

Library and information science
I discovered this portal related to my profession and couldn't help but want to take it to the next level. It's been given the once-over with randomizers and all that good stuff. It's come a long way in a short time. My central concern is the dearth of truly high quality content in the subject area. I think there's enough to work with though and I will continue to hunt down worthy additions. Your comments on the current state of this portal and what might be done to make it feature-worthy are appreciated. Cheers. Planetneutral talk  04:01, 13 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Since posting this last night, I've had to do some tweaking and rearranging due to IE6 display issues. Thanks to Smee for pointing them out. Planetneutral talk  10:57, 13 March 2007 (UTC)


 * Very nice, seems to be up to the standards of the visual arts portal.
 * "Things you can do" image should appear at right, otherwise it disturbs the text.
 * Done.
 * "Show new selected content..." - Shorten it to "Show new selections"?
 * I can go along with that. Done.
 * Remove all the sole year linking from here per WP:DATE.
 * Worked so hard to keep it out of DYK. Done
 * The reference desk isn't a WikiProject.  Michaelas10   (Talk)   15:17, 13 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Moved to "Things you can do" section. Again, thank you for your helpful suggestions. Planetneutral talk  17:50, 13 March 2007 (UTC)

Hey, you learn fast. I only have a couple small things:
 * Topics - Information science part seems alittle slim, the cat is quit large, can you find a few more major topics?
 * Done.


 * Projects and Portals - There are a few projects listed but not the corresponding portal and vice versa, and Portal:Writing deserves a mention.
 * There are some situations where there is no corresponding portal/project, but I will normalize as I can. I can't say I agree about Portal:Writing though, which has been in an "under construction" state for about a year now and doesn't look like it has much hope of moving forward. Unless I get ambitious of course...
 * Added 1 additional WikiProject. Would add Portal:Poetry, but it hasn't been maintained in quite awhile and my discussion at the talk page and at the WikiProject has not inspired any action. Sad, since it's a featured portal.


 * Wikimedia - wikinews wikibooks and wikisource. This is why I don't agree with leaving out related wikimedia.
 * Two different problems here. First, those wikibooks results are all libraries in the computer programming sense, not the bibliographic sense. The real issue though is how to make links to those search results in such a way that a) they work and b) they are not external links. I didn't have any luck with the interwiki syntax that I tried. I'll keep working on this, as I tend to agree with you on trying to get people to content when it's available; but I also respect the notion of consistency, so I don't want to go the external link route, if I can avoid it.
 * Figured this out. Done.

Other than that, you're on top of it! Jo e  I  05:05, 15 March 2007 (UTC)

 * I just came across this, you might wanna find a way to work it in, probly best under lists.  Jo  e  I  21:11, 15 March 2007 (UTC
 * Done. Thanks again. Planetneutral talk  02:29, 16 March 2007 (UTC)
