Wikipedia:Portal peer review/Opera/archive1

Portal:Opera
I would like to nominate Portal:Opera as a featured portal. The portal falls within the scope of WikiProject Opera editors, a group writing and editing Wikipedia opera related articles - Jay (talk) 04:58, 25 January 2009 (UTC)
 * To the reviewers or panels of Featured Portal, you may not see any comments or suggestions about Portal:Opera because as I mentioned above, this is a collaboration work within members in WikiProject Opera. All our discussions and suggestions were done there. When we agreed to have a Portal some time ago, we had lengthy discussion including consensus from members about many things. As for the selection of the articles, pictures, audios etc, we have monthly discussion for example month February ~ March 2009 discussion. We updated our portal every 2 months except for "Did You Know" and "Opera News" sections. Those 2 sections were updated whenever we have new info to be updated - Jay (talk) 12:17, 30 January 2009 (UTC)


 * Comment: In my view, this portal is ready to go to Featured portal nominations.


 * 1. (a) It covers a topic that is broad, interesting and a major arts genre. Collective work by the WikiProject Opera members insures that the articles displayed on it are good quality, albeit not always FAs. (b) It is attractive with no obvious formatting issues or excessive red links. The only minor issue might be the length of the current featured singer article intro. Its 350 words long and they shouldn't be over much over 200 words. (c) The presentation of content is logical and effective. (d) It is well maintained, with new featured content, news, and DYKs updated at least every two months.


 * 2. It adheres to the standards in the Manual of Style and the relevant Opera Project guidelines.


 * 3. It has appropriate and interesting public domain images and sound files with concise captions and no non-free content.


 * 3. It is not self-referential


 * 4. It has links to related projects and portals.

I suggest we close this peer review so the discussion at Featured portal candidates can proceed. Voceditenore (talk) 07:59, 5 February 2009 (UTC) (Opera Project member)
