Portal:Weather

After a complete overhaul of the format, automation of all the selected content, and hours of blood, sweat, and tears, WikiProject Meteorology humbly presents this lovely Portal for review by the community. -Running On Brains 07:01, 19 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Comments:

I'm confused by your automation of the selected content -- is it possible to get another random selection? Espresso Addict (talk) 16:18, 21 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- The format we have now is that we have one article selected to be featured on the Portal each month. Maintaining it is currently a collaboration between me and another editor from WikiProject Meteorology, but we are hoping to bring in more editors from the project to help.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Runningonbrains (talk • contribs)

Support. Looks nice. I too am confused and wonder if the portal is random or static. But if you mean you are going to maintain it manually that is a valid approach. Congrats on your hard work. —SusanLesch (talk) 05:07, 25 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Comment, it would be nice to see monthly updates (or the random portal component) used on Portal:Weather/Did you know to prevent it from becoming stale. Qst (talk) 16:31, 26 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Currently DYK articles are added as new Weather-themed articles are added (see here and here). Did you mean we should bring in older articles as well, updating the DYK monthly? -Running On Brains 03:27, 27 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
~~Comment~~ Support- introduction needs to be worked out. its too brief. Sushant gupta (talk) 02:27, 27 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Will work on it. -Running On Brains 03:27, 27 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  - Done although I think it still needs a little tweaking, will work on it in the next few days.-Running On Brains 03:24, 31 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

thats great. thanks for making the required changes. Sushant gupta (talk) 12:57, 18 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Comment The "Quality articles" box doesn't open correctly, it gets all messed up. Also, the selected biography has been the same for several months IIRC. Juliancolton ^Tropical ^Cyclone 00:10, 31 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- I've tried fixing the "Quality articles", it works correctly in Firefox, it only seems to get messed up in IE as far as I can see. Do you know where I can get help with that? -Running On Brains 03:24, 31 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  - Additionally, the selected biography should update tomorrow (June 1st). -Running On Brains 03:26, 31 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    - Ah, ok. The quality articles box still doesn't work for me, but I guess there's not much you can do about it. One more comment: I'd add one or two of the many tropical cyclone FAs to the quality article box. Juliancolton ^Tropical ^Cyclone 20:00, 4 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
      - Do you think? I've always been iffy about including TCs since they have a separate portal, but if you think there should be some I'm willing to add them.-— Preceding unsigned comment added by Runningonbrains (talk • contribs)
        I don't think it's a big deal. Seems to meet the criteria. Support. Juliancolton ^Tropical ^Cyclone 15:30, 9 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Comment. If it is possible and within the scope, try add featured topics to Quality contents section. OhanaUnited^{Talk page} 01:47, 16 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Done -Running On Brains 04:40, 22 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I've abandoned those troublesome show/hide boxes. Everything should work smoothly now-Running On Brains 08:24, 25 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
