Portal:Gibraltar

Any comments and/or suggestions intended to provide useful information for future decisions and development would be appreciated. Thanks, Chris.B (talk) 15:29, 17 December 2007 (UTC)

• First of all... It's looking great Chris! It might be a good idea to change the colours to help separate the different sections better (maybe white text on a red background, as most other country portals use their flag colours). The topics section could also be updated to reflect that of the current {{Gibraltar topics}} template. --Gibmetal 77^talk 01:11, 21 December 2007 (UTC)
  • Good idea. Done. Chris.B (talk) 11:00, 24 December 2007 (UTC)

• A few comments:
  • First are the symbols in the header boxes. With the italicized titles, the last letter and >> kinda blend together, try a space between them.
  • The images in the intro have alittle room to be a bit bigger.
  • With the randomized selected content a "Show new selections" button should be used.
  • I would suggest removing (2006 constitutional referendum) from topics, as it juts outside of the box, and that is the only year listed.
  • Topics - is there some order precedence? There should be one, either alpha or chronoligical or something.
  • News- Headlines should be linked to the news story either on wikinews(preferable) or an outside news agency.
  • Cats- the "More at Category:Gibraltar" is redundant to the first entry of the category tree.
  • Quotes- I prefer a template such as {{cquote}} for consistancy. It has parameters for who said it, when and where. But you seem to have things set up well.
  • Portals- the spacing seems to be off, with the EU portal left of center.
  • The things you can do box can be cut off a bit to give the wikiprojects box alittle more room.
• These are mostly small things and the portal looks fairly good. Joe I 09:53, 30 December 2007 (UTC)

Mostly done. Many thanks, your comments are most appreciated. Chris.B (talk) 21:27, 30 December 2007 (UTC)

• A few suggestions —

• Topics:

• The History section should be left aligned like the other sections.
• In my opinion, the topics section would look better not in the columns.

• Biography:

• At least three more biographies would be nice.
• In all the biographies, the paragraphs with only one sentence should be merged with the other paragraphs.

• News:

• Gibraltar news → Recent news (example of this)
• The hyphens, December 29 - , should be changed to en dashes, December 29 – . Alternative, a colon format, December 29: , can be used.
• (archive...) → Archive, per the Did you know section.

• DYK: I don't think the second question mark image isn needed.
• Quotes: Here, the double-dash, --, should be replaced with an en dash, –.
• To do: More tasks should be added. Good work so far! [sd] 21:28, 31 December 2007 (UTC)
