[edit] Other neat portal ideas for longer term
- Longer term ideas to think about from other portals:
- Events section, like: "On this day" e.g., Biography, Religion, United States; "Selected anniversaries" e.g., War; "Calendar" at Holidays. Interesting idea of "Month selected anniversaries", at Oregon.
- Model intro with some rotating images, after Portal:Oregon, Portal:Indiana, Portal:Iceland/Intro and Portal:Philosophy of science/Intro.
- Revamp DYK sections w/ free-use images, model after Portal:Criminal justice and Portal:Oregon.
- Portal palettes at User:RichardF/Palettes/Portals. Comparable color schemes can be developed from the various hue lists at User:RichardF/Palettes. Also see Portal:Box-header.
- If there are a lot of categories, then categories section to 2 columns, like in Portal:Indiana.
[edit] To the Stars (album)
 |
On 10 June 2008, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article To the Stars (album), which you created or substantially expanded. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page. |

- I cleaned it up because it is redundant. What is the difference between allmusic being in the work parameter and www.allmusic.com in the publisher? I learned this in one of my FACs and it was SandyGeorgia's suggestion. Anyway, the article was passed, without my response or Indopug's regarding the reviews in the lead. Cheers. --Efe (talk) 11:44, 11 June 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Dianetics
Why do you continue to class my edits as vandalism? If you're going to revert them, you'd better be able to come up with some reason (any reason) to do so and to class this as "vandalism."
Saying that Dianetics is a pseudoscience is a verifiable fact. The edits are constructive. They contribute to the content of the article. I suggest we open this discussion to the community at large, rather than attempting to stifle free speech. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 4chanwakka (talk • contribs) 14:39, 12 June 2008 (UTC)
[edit] News part of Portal:Chicago
How does Portal:Chicago/Chicago news work? It has missed some major stories recently. For example, any of the wikinews stories on Barack Obama should appear in our news section. He lives here in Chicago. The Portal:Current events/2008 June 7 story that "Hillary Clinton suspends her presidential campaign and endorses "Barack Obama" is doubly important because we consider Hillary a part of our project since she was born and raised in Cook County, Illinois. Also, the June 3 story "Illinois Senator Barack Obama wins the Democratic Party presumptive nomination" should have made it.--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/WP:CHICAGO/WP:LOTM) 14:52, 13 June 2008 (UTC)
- I am not so familiar with the WP:ITN and Wikinews. How does a news item get categorized. Is there a way to have all Barack Obama news and Hillary Clinton news categorized as Chicago news?--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/WP:CHICAGO/WP:LOTM) 16:51, 13 June 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Some advice
Hey, just wondering if you could help me out with something. A user wants to include the fact that he used the word "fucking" in one particular song in the article on Jon Courtney, as he considers it a lyrical breakthrough. I think it's unimportant, and explained the WP:NOT rule that wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information, but I was wondering if you knew of any other guidelines I could use to convince him. Alternately, if you just chip in your two cents on his user talk {User talk:Samsmallish) so we can get some consensus going. Many thanks in advance! Ironholds 16:48, 13 June 2008 (UTC)
- Thanks for the assist :). I'll reference that if he comes back to complain (which he most likely will). Ironholds 16:51, 13 June 2008 (UTC)
- I will answer Ironholds' complaint. I edited the article on Jon Courtney to show that, in the context if dream-inspired Lyrics, whilst it seems that pretentious lyrics ('Deus ex Machina' Bold Anteus darts)) prevail, there is nevertheless place for common vulgarisms. Maybe I did it wrongly by appearing to express an opinion that it was was 'groundbreaking' (it certainly is for PRR), so I will rewrite it in context with the earlier passages of the article to exemplify it. Hope this answers any queries you have and that, in future you will not simply bow to the first complaint without requesting a re-write. Best wishes - Samsmallish (talk) 18:20, 13 June 2008 (UTC)
I had initially removed the material in question because it was unsourced WP:OR. Cirt (talk) 18:33, 13 June 2008 (UTC)
