I've just completed the first round of development of the portal, any comments regarding the following points would be really appreciated.


 * Any comments regarding the picture section and the showcased articles.


 * Some feedback regarding the materiality of the articles showcased.


 * Ideas regarding further improvement of the portal.


 * Comments on the Topics Related to Malta template.

 * The intro box's images are perhaps too big, making the box bloated - rearrange or reduce pix.
 * Related Portals - can You make the images also link to portals.
 * Reduce the gap between the right side and left side boxes.
 * Move the "Selected Locality" to the left side, it will be then with the other selected (showcased) content.
 * Make the boxes on the left bigger than in the right, the selected content usually needs more space, say 55% - 44%.
 * Put the UNESCO World Heritage Sites box lower, below "Featured Picture".
 * Change "Featured Picture" to "Showcase Picture" or "Selected Picture" as all the pictures used aren't WP:FPs, or are they?
 * Remove the "Wikimedia Commons has media related to:" from categories box, it is in "Associated Wikimedia".
 * "Malta topics" - the "See also: Portal" at the bottom is kinda strange? I suggest re-building it, and removing the red links.
 * "Associated Wikimedia" Some links lead nowhere - edit to link properly.
 * No need for the "European Union (EU) members" template - remove?
 * Put a list of subpages used in the portal to the talk page.
 * Otherwise looks good. Hope the suggestions "help", feydey 10:52, 24 May 2007 (UTC)


 * Thanks a lot for your suggestions, they were all noted and the Portal was changed: however, i could not change the associated Wikimedia box, as suggested, since the box i used is a common template and "it is used for all portals and should be left generic" -- I will try to make a template specific for the portal, as suggested in the template, (if i can manage!) The problem is that 3 elements of the associated wikimedia do not have any article regarding Malta...i think that any future template will have to redirect the user to a Malta search page on the associated wikimedia other than to a specific Malta article. Any further suggestions would be great! - Reuv 09:04, 25 May 2007 (UTC)


 * See a modified box Portal:Literature/Associated Wikimedia for example. feydey 11:26, 26 May 2007 (UTC)


 * Do not use Fair use pictures in Portal pages.
 * "Malta News" - add the source for the news item(s).
 * The portal looks better now. feydey 11:40, 26 May 2007 (UTC)


 * Is anyone still maintaining this portal? The News section has not been touched in last 4 months and the DYK section is showing a redink. Arman Aziz 04:31, 12 September 2007 (UTC)
