[edit] Portal:Amusement parks

Has just been through the peer review process and has had a lot of work done on including randomised content. Many thanks for your time in advance, Seaserpent⁸⁵ 23:16, 19 December 2007 (UTC)

In portal peer review, Cirt was right. It's strongly recommended to have at least 10 items in each section. OhanaUnited^{Talk page} 00:17, 20 December 2007 (UTC)

Yep, I'm getting that sorted ASAP, hadn't expected such a swift reply! :) Seaserpent⁸⁵ 00:34, 20 December 2007 (UTC)

• If you started a Featured Portal Candidate discussion, you should archive the Peer Review. Cirt (talk) 05:48, 20 December 2007 (UTC).

Y Done Seaserpent⁸⁵ 00:35, 29 December 2007 (UTC)

• • Also, others should check out Wikipedia:Portal peer review/Amusement parks/archive1. Cirt (talk) 05:49, 20 December 2007 (UTC).

The portal needs some corrections:

• Introduction section should have some more lines. Avoid redirect links as much as possible, like INDIA, ASIA, Amusement parks, Rides, etc.

Y Done Some of those were from vandalism and have been reverted back. Seaserpent⁸⁵ 00:35, 29 December 2007 (UTC)

• Main topics section needs to be broadened. - Shyam ^(T/C) 05:36, 10 January 2008 (UTC)

• Comment: A few suggestions —

• In the introduction, Learn more... → Read more...
  • Y Done
• As pointed out by Cirt, more items are needed in each section.
  • Y Done Seaserpent⁸⁵ 00:35, 29 December 2007 (UTC)
• An Associated Wikimedia box is needed (example).
  • N Not done I don't see the benefit in linking to numerous non-existing pages on other wikis.
• Show new selections is almost blending in with the background. Perhaps you could change the color of Show new selections to white? Regards, [sd] 12:32, 27 December 2007 (UTC)

• N Not done Purely as I'm not sure how to change the colour of an external link. Seaserpent⁸⁵ 14:06, 28 December 2007 (UTC)

• Y Done — [sd] 14:46, 28 December 2007 (UTC)

Thank you for that, it was driving me crazy! Seaserpent⁸⁵ 00:35, 29 December 2007 (UTC)

• Comment: A few more suggestions —

• Things you can do: Although it has tasks from the Roller coasters WikiProject, it would also be appropriate to add tasks from the Amusement parks WikiProject.

N Not done At present there isn't a to do list on the amusement park project.

• News: Amusement park news (which might sound repetitive) could be changed to News, Current news, or Recent news.

Y Done Seaserpent⁸⁵ 20:12, 3 January 2008 (UTC)

• DYK:

• For uniformity, More... → Read more...

Y Done Seaserpent⁸⁵ 20:12, 3 January 2008 (UTC)

• More DYK items are needed (around 12–15 would be nice).

Doing... Will be adding these as I find them. Seaserpent⁸⁵ 20:12, 3 January 2008 (UTC)

Y Done 12 up there now, fully randomised too. Seaserpent⁸⁵ 16:54, 8 January 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for keeping up with my suggestions! Cheers, [sd] 05:03, 29 December 2007 (UTC)

Comment: If possible, an update to the news section would be good. [sd] 13:56, 5 January 2008 (UTC)

Y Done Seaserpent⁸⁵ 15:40, 8 January 2008 (UTC)

Thanks! A few finishing touches—

• Here are some things you can do to help the Roller Coaster WikiProject. could be changed to From the Roller Coaster WikiProject:.
• The Main topics section should be moved to the right columns to balance out the columns. Struck out by [sd] on 00:08, 11 January 2008 (UTC)
• For uniformity with the other sections, An amusement park is → An amusement park is.
• Like the to do and news sections, creative icons would look good in the DYK (example image), topics, and categories sections. Great work! [sd] 03:24, 10 January 2008 (UTC)
• Another paragraph would be nice in the introduction. The featured Numismatics Portal has a nice introduction length of three paragraphs. Cheers, [sd] 12:32, 10 January 2008 (UTC)

All Y Done with the exception of moving the main topics section - from my setup, on average the columns are of comparable length? Can anyone else confirm if there's an issue here? Thanks for all the suggestions, sd! Seaserpent⁸⁵ 14:11, 10 January 2008 (UTC)

← Never mind—you're right. Oh, and Shyam ^(T/C) suggested above that "Main topics section needs to be broadened." Happy editing, [sd] 00:08, 11 January 2008 (UTC)

Comment

Missing section: The portal is missing an Associated Wikimedia section. Cirt (talk) 08:38, 15 January 2008 (UTC).

It was suggested above, and the nominator replied, "I don't see the benefit in linking to numerous non-existing pages on other wikis." Cheers, [sd] 11:43, 15 January 2008 (UTC)

Hrm, really? Nothing even relevant on any other project? Not even worthy of linking through the Special:Search function? Cirt (talk) 10:46, 16 January 2008 (UTC).

The only other projects that contain anything are the commons and wiktionary, not exactly worthy of their own section, surely? Seaserpent⁸⁵ 13:49, 17 January 2008 (UTC)

If Commons and Wiktionary have relevant connections, of course its worthy of an Associated Wikimedia section. Cirt (talk) 06:48, 18 January 2008 (UTC).

Y Done Seaserpent⁸⁵ 10:41, 18 January 2008 (UTC)

• Support: Great work with the portal! Cheers, [sd] 13:47, 20 January 2008 (UTC)
