Portal:Russia
Been doing a lot of work on this portal lately after a break from portal-stuff. 5 rotating images in the Intro, 23 Selected articles, all WP:FAs, 11 Selected biographies, all WP:FAs, 18 Selected pictures, all WP:FPs, 20 sets of 3 DYK hooks, all with free-use images, 20 Selected quotes, all with free-use images, Updated news with, and a Rotating In this month section. The redlink in Things you can do will soon hopefully be blue thanks to a new feature from.

Looking for any feedback/comments prior to WP:FPORTC. Thanks, Cirt (talk) 09:09, 3 August 2008 (UTC)

 * 1) Red/blue headers unappealing.
 * 2) First text line on some boxes, e.g., intro, not top-aligned.
 * 3) russia topics style mismatches portal.
 * 4) Inconsistent spacing at bottom of boxes.
 * Header colors: Agree that Red/blue headers is unappealing, have asked to look into this as he is an expert with color palettes on portals. Cirt (talk) 15:49, 3 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Update: - I think I have found a nice color arrangement now after some experimenting. Cirt (talk) 16:30, 3 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Intro alignment: Fixed this, was a minor spacing issue in the intro. Cirt (talk) 15:49, 3 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Topics: What do you suggest be done here? I really like that there is already an existing template, Template:Russia topics. I suppose it could either be substed and then modified, or we could just modify the coloring/layout of the template itself to match the portal - thoughts? Cirt (talk) 15:51, 3 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Update: Reformatted Russia topics - Now it matches the portal nicely. Cirt (talk) 16:39, 3 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Inconsistent bottom spacing: I have inspected Portal:Russia/box-header and Portal:Russia/box-footer in comparison to other portals and for the life of me can not yet figure this out. I will try to look into this further but I could use some help here as well. Cirt (talk) 15:55, 3 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Update: I believe I have fixed this. Cirt (talk) 16:19, 3 August 2008 (UTC)
