Wikipedia:Portal peer review/Wine/archive1
I am looking for an overall peer review before I place this up for a Featured Portal nomination.--Chef Christopher Allen Tanner, CCC (talk) 22:25, 25 December 2007 (UTC)
- Review: Good job. A few suggestions —
- Overall:
- More items need to be created before this is placed up for a featured portal nomination. I've seen that, generally, reviewers like to see at least 10 items of each (example: picture, article).
- There are large gaps between the News and Person, and Person and Picture boxes.
- Setup: Currently, the portal updates itself every month. In case you were ever to stop updating the portal, {{Random portal component}} comes in quite handy. However, it is not a requirement for featured portals.
- News:
- More news... → News archive, for uniformity.
- Wine news → Recent news, News, or Current news
- Instead of linked to the newspapers like this: # December 21: [1] Fine wines beat stock market with 39% gains, I think it would be better to write the name of the newspaper as well: # December 21: Fine wines beat stock market with 39% gains (Independent) (example of use).
- DYK:
white Manseng (Pictured) wine→white Manseng (pictured) wine(example) - Winery:
- Selected Winery → Selected winery
- There's a large space between Chile (Viña Calina). and Selected winery archive.
- Quote:
- Selected Quote → Selected quote
- More quotes from 2008... → Quotes archive
- I would suggest using the format here.
- Lists: Wine related lists → Related lists
- To do: Things you can do... → Things you can do
- Person: The title needs to be italicized.
- Topics: Wine topics → Main topics or Major topics
- Picture: I would suggest not bolding the text and left-justifying it. Happy editing, [sd] 00:49, 30 December 2007 (UTC)
- Comment
- I'd cut the amount of entries in the News section down by half.
- The news section would also look nicer if you used <noinclude></noinclude> around the hyperlinks, that way the references for the info would still be there, but would only show up on the subpage.
- I agree with Sd31415 (talk · contribs) about the recommendation to use {{Random portal component}} in at least one area somewhere.
- Missing: A link to "More..." or "Read more..." or "More about X subject..." is missing from several sections, namely Selected article, Person of the Month, and Selected Winery.
- I'm not sure, I think Chef :) thought linking it in the paragraph (for example, Zinfandel is a variety of red grape) would be enough. [sd] 19:42, 31 December 2007 (UTC)
- Nah, from what I've seen, this is the standard practice among many featured portals, to have some sort of footer links in the section boxes. Cirt (talk) 21:48, 31 December 2007 (UTC).

- Selected picture could have something in the text description wikilinked and bolded, if the reader wants to find more info on Wikipedia about what is displayed in the picture.
- Associated topics should be "Main topics".
- Surely there are more than just two other Related portals?
- "Food (Beer, Wine)" are all that's at Portal:Contents/Portals. So, the food and beer portals would be the only two related portals. [sd] 19:42, 31 December 2007 (UTC)
- Okay.
Done. Cirt (talk) 21:48, 31 December 2007 (UTC).

- Comment. Overall, it looks very nice. I tried some burgundy (H345) shades for the box here and (my favorite) here. I wanted to try something that went with the glass of wine in the intro. I think this would be a good portal to use a redder palette. RichardF (talk) 19:09, 31 December 2007 (UTC)
- I put a burgundy (H345) color test together from three different pages, so it's hard to see what they look like together just from diffs. Anyone feel free to revert/suggest different color schemes. RichardF (talk) 22:46, 31 December 2007 (UTC)
- Love the new coloring. Cirt (talk) 00:37, 1 January 2008 (UTC).

- Comment - It's a great looking portal, but there's no need for the Wikinews line in the news box—it doesn't link to anything. Rt. 22:06, 31 December 2007 (UTC)

- I've fixed up some uneven image sizing. That featured image has been up since this time last year, so the "2007" page from the "more featured pictures" link is a bit redundant. Maybe replace this one with a new Jan 2008 pic and assign the existing one to Dec 2007? --mikaultalk 13:01, 1 January 2008 (UTC)
- The current featured image was put up last week for the month of Jan.--Chef Christopher Allen Tanner, CCC (talk) 16:09, 5 January 2008 (UTC)
