Wikipedia:Featured portal candidates/Portal:Food
Appearance
Nomination: Portal:Food is a well designed and informative portal, that meets featured portal standards. The portal is updated weekly, and much time and effort has been put into constructing and mantaining it. The portal was recently peer reviewed,and most of the following previous concerns were dealt with. --TBC??? ??? ??? 05:49, 4 April 2006 (UTC)
Object:Introduction should really be longer."Food news" is entirely uncited; some of the items, at least, are surprising.Picture in "Food news" section overlaps with text.- Inactive WikiProjects probably shouln't be linked to; it doesn't benefit the reader to be directed there.
Small fonts are overused; the list and category sections, in particular, would benefit from a larger typeface.Hiding the topic box is a very bad idea; have you tried it on a non-Monobook skin?"Associated Wikimedia" should be properly aligned within its box.
- I'll also add that I strongly dislike the recent trend of certain portals forking off their own "Featured article" process, formatting and all. Kirill Lokshin 11:47, 4 April 2006 (UTC)
- Thanks for the comments, I'll cross off each of the above as soon as they are addressed. However, I'll have to disagree with the inactive wikiproject comment, as readers might be interested in reviving them. --TBC??? ??? ??? 12:54, 4 April 2006 (UTC)
- Fair enough. No further objections from me, then. Kirill Lokshin 01:45, 6 April 2006 (UTC)

Object:
Font is too small. There's no reason for it.No need to be excessive with cites in Food news. Also, no red links.Things you can do, as a secondary aspect, needs to be moved. I'd suggest beneath Categories and Food lists. Alternatively, you could remove the "Inactive" section (which is of dubious merit) in WikiProjects and shift Things you can do to the lower right column.
- An otherwise useful portal.--cj | talk 09:33, 6 April 2006 (UTC)
- By "font is too small", I mean the font is too small. It is set at 90% of the normal size. --cj | talk 04:07, 10 April 2006 (UTC)
- Support great portal.--cj | talk 04:27, 10 April 2006 (UTC)
- Support, good portal, but maybe add the Food image to the first section so it doesn't push everything below? (Just an opinion, you don't need to change it). Titoxd(?!? - help us) 05:25, 10 April 2006 (UTC)
- Yum, I mean, Support. Very nice. The "Food" image as a heading is a bit tacky, though. —Cuiviénen, Saturday, 15 April 2006 @ 22:36 (UTC)
