Missing ?
Is something missing (I haven't read carefully) ... This was added:

Where the lead image is a portrait with the face looking to the reader's right, it should be left-aligned, looking into the text of the article. Where this is the lead image, it may be appropriate to move the Table of Contents to the right by using ."

Wasn't this TOC alignment business removed because it overrrode WP:ACCESSIBILITY? Sandy Georgia (Talk) 15:59, 1 June 2008 (UTC)


 * This edit is missing in the updates; the April update give incorrect info about using TOCright, since the TOC issue was adjusted in May after the accessibility issue was raised at WT:FAC. Sandy Georgia (Talk) 04:51, 2 June 2008 (UTC)

NBSP
First time I've seen this; it needs to be fixed ... "'measurements in which values and units are separated by a space'." Changing it to "measurements" defeats the purpose of NBSP in many cases, like Boeing 747, Gemini 7 or 7 World Trade Center. The previous wording was much better; this is a step in the wrong direction, which will lead to poor line breaks. Sandy Georgia (Talk) 16:01, 1 June 2008 (UTC)


 * Maybe, Sandy, but I can only report. Fitly taken up at MOS talk, as you've done. Looks like this one will feature again in the June update. TONY   (talk)  13:25, 6 June 2008 (UTC)


 * I am so glad you're doing these updates, or I wouldn't know about these little MoS changes until they happened to show up on a FAC. Sandy Georgia  (Talk) 15:20, 6 June 2008 (UTC)


 * Thanks, Sandy. They are a considerable amount of work and take me away from FAC reviewing. Hope they're of use for WPians more generally, but there's little way of telling. TONY   (talk)  15:53, 6 June 2008 (UTC)


 * They are useful, Tony, to me at least, and most probably to others as well. Carcharoth (talk) 12:55, 8 June 2008 (UTC)

Featured portal criteria
There was a change of criteria in May. I'll summarize the change: OhanaUnitedTalk page 02:43, 8 June 2008 (UTC)
 * 1) Added "Article and biography summaries should not greatly excede a length of 200 words."
 * 2) Regarding images, we added "images where appropriate, with good captions, linked credits, and acceptable copyright status
 * Added; thank you. TONY   (talk)  13:35, 9 June 2008 (UTC)
