The portal was not promoted 04:20, 28 March 2008.
Currently this portal has 10 selected articles all are good articles or higher. 10 selected biographies,and 11 selected pictures.Bewareofdog 02:55, 23 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Support. Beautiful intro graphic, and nice, interesting symbols section. The float CSS needs a tweak, maybe for smaller font sizes (for some reason, the left column can appear centered and above the other in Firefox Mac). Presents lots of information for visitors. Well done. -Susanlesch (talk) 06:14, 27 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment I removed a photo from the intro and solved the column issue.--CPacker (talk) 07:21, 27 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Comments
- Add few more sensible lines in the Intro section. Done
- Need some work on Associated Wikimedia section. Kindly redirect the links to the appropriate page or search page.
- Remove Flag flying days in Mexico from the Selected article list. It does not qualify to be a selected article. Done
- I am quite misguided with the News archive. 2008 section also contains 2007 news. What is that for?. Done - Shyam (T/C) 10:55, 27 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Kindly do not remove older archives from news archive. Please keep them as well. Shyam (T/C) 06:50, 29 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

- My comments:
- The #'s for biographies and articles are on the low side.
- Some selected pictures' caption did not bold the main subject.
- A large empty space on the right column.
- Instead of saying "More...", be more specific like "More selected biographies"

- Oppose per Ohana's concerns, that have not been remedied. Also, ensure the portal meets the Manual of Style; there are some typos and other glaring mistakes there. Good job otherwise. WEBURIEDOURSECRETSINTHEGARDEN I push my hand up to the sky 23:11, 26 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Closed as not promoted by OhanaUnited. There are many concerns regarding this portal (such as typos, alignment, # of articles) which requires extensive maintenance before it will reach featured status. OhanaUnitedTalk page 04:19, 28 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
