[edit] Portal:Ancient Near East
Hi, I'm looking for feedback on a new portal for the Ancient Near East. Any comments or suggestions would be welcome!

- Maybe should we create specific portals about mesopotamia, phenicia, ancient Anatolia, etc… Therefore the Ancient Near East portal wouldn't be saturated by too large an amount of articles. Alexander Doria (talk) 13:50, 31 May 2008 (UTC)
- There was so much interaction between all the groups in this area, that I think even if there were different portals for each geographic area, there would still be a need to have a central point to put it all together. IansAwesomePizza (talk) 00:40, 4 June 2008 (UTC)
- But I don't want to dismantle the Ancient Near east portal. We should keep it as an introduction to the other portals. Besides even if there were a lot of interaction in this area, the hitites, the sumeriian, the phénicians and the Elamites were such different people, that they could claim for a portal each.

- I do agree, but I'll probably leave the other portals to other editors. One of the problems is that this area attracts so much Fringe and Nationalism that there are very few articles that can be used in the "selected articles" section. The editors who make nonsense of so many of these articles are very agressive, so that it is nearly impossible to make the articles presentable without getting burned by a cabal of extremists and/or entrenched wiki-lawyers.
