Other neat portal ideas for longer term

• Longer term ideas to think about from other portals:

1. Events section, like: "On this day" e.g., Biography, Religion, United States; "Selected anniversaries" e.g., War; "Calendar" at Holidays. Interesting idea of "Month selected anniversaries", at Oregon.
2. Model intro with some rotating images, after Portal:Oregon, Portal:Indiana, Portal:Iceland/Intro and Portal:Philosophy of science/Intro.
3. Revamp DYK sections w/ free-use images, model after Portal:Criminal justice and Portal:Oregon.
4. Portal palettes at User:RichardF/Palettes/Portals. Comparable color schemes can be developed from the various hue lists at User:RichardF/Palettes. Also see Portal:Box-header.
5. If there are a lot of categories, then categories section to 2 columns, like in Portal:Indiana.

   Also take some time to check out style/formatting at Portal:Indiana Cirt (talk)

Thank You!

		The Featured Sound Main Page Proposal Voter Barnstar
		I was truly humbled by the overwhelming community support for the recent proposal to place featured sounds on the main page. The proposal closed on Tuesday with 57 people in support and only 2 in opposition. It should take a few weeks for everything to get coded and tested, and once that is done the community will be presented with a mock up to assess on aesthetic appeal. Finally, I invite all of you to participate in the featured sounds process itself. Whether you're a performer, an uploader, or just come across a sound file you find top quality, and that meets the featured sound criteria, you can nominate it at Wikipedia:Featured sound candidates. Featured sounds is also looking for people to help assess candidates (also at Wikipedia:Featured sound candidates.) Thanks again for such a strong showing of support, and I hope to see you at featured sounds in the future. Sven Manguard Wha? Adam Cuerden (talk) (X! · talk)

Thank you! -- Cirt (talk) 20:18, 3 March 2011 (UTC)

Ignoring your close

Hi Cirt, boldly following/ignoring your close on Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/On_Verra, I redirected Ma Petite Lumiere to Jocelyne Labylle, as I think that is more usefull. If you disagree, feel free to delete, since that was your close. Martijn Hoekstra (talk) 22:57, 26 February 2011 (UTC)

Alright. -- Cirt (talk) 20:18, 3 March 2011 (UTC)

Talk:The Truth According to Wikipedia/GA1

Hi Cirt! I note that you are returning the favour of my slow review by being slow to respond! The seven days on this GAR have run out today but I know that you had responded almost immediately to my initial comments so I'm assuming you would like me to hold the GA open rather than closing it. Could you let me know what's going on with this one? If you're busy at the moment one possibility is to close it as Fail, with an option to jump the queue on your next nomination of the article by coming straight to me. Or if you can start improvements now there'd be no problem with holding it open another week. - DustFormsWords (talk) 05:24, 28 February 2011 (UTC)

• Hi. It having been another three days with no response I am regretfully going to close this GA review as Fail. However if you decide to re-nominate when you return from your wikibreak I would be more than happy to help you jump the queue and, in essence, resume my original GAR. Just leave me a message on my talk page if you want to go down that route. - DustFormsWords (talk) 02:12, 2 March 2011 (UTC)
  • Seems to be mostly addressed now. -- Cirt (talk) 20:18, 3 March 2011 (UTC)

Spongecell

Hi Cirt,

I'm writing you in response to trying to get the Spongecell Wikipedia page back online. It looks like you made some changes, I just don't really know what my next steps for setting this up again is?

Thanks,

(69.193.172.234 (talk) 20:44, 28 February 2011 (UTC))

I would suggest you create an account on Wikipedia, then you can work on a proposed draft version. -- Cirt (talk) 20:18, 3 March 2011 (UTC)

Victor Filotti

You have deleted the article Victor Filotti which I posted, on the basis of a very short discussion in which a single other wikipedian participated. I do not request the reinstatement of the article, but I would like to recover the information which I have posted. Is there any way in which this information can be recovered for my own use, or is it forever lost? Afil (talk) 01:17, 1 March 2011 (UTC)

I would be more than happy to make a version available to you within a subpage of your userspace, so you can work on a proposed draft version there, to see if it might fail or perhaps satisfy WP:NOTE. Cheers, -- Cirt (talk) 20:18, 3 March 2011 (UTC)

Tarique Mustafa's Page Deletion

Hi Cirt,

I have a few questions about my page being deleted by you. According to you, my page has been deleted because Tarique Mustafa is not a notable person. However, this is what I have on my research about him. Tarique Mustafa is an important Computer Security Engineer that brought the Data Leak Prevention to the new generation. Because of that, he has received the award from Frost & Sullivan about Excellence in Technology Innovation Awards in 2009. Although I don't work for him, I still strongly believe that he is notable enough to meet all the notability standards of Wikipedia. I have edited my page and ready to send to you for rechecking before posting.

Thank you.

Removing page BugNET and its recreation avoidance.

Hi Cirt,

You have removed a page titled BugNET from the Wikipedia and you marked it to not be recreated again. As I have used BugNET which is a Issue Tracking software and I know this is a noteable software comparing to other Issue Tracking Softwares mentioned in the wikipedia. I would like to ask you to revert its page back or let me to recreate its page. As Comparison_of_issue-tracking_systems is a good source between comparison of this kind of software, I wanted to have this software in this page.

If you want to read more about BugNET you can see its website at http://www.bugnetproject.com/

Thank you for your attention.

Article deletion discussion

Hi. Can you voice your opinion on the Beth Sotelo deletion discussion here? Thanks. Nightscream (talk) 02:09, 3 March 2011 (UTC)

Curious why me in particular. -- Cirt (talk) 20:18, 3 March 2011 (UTC)

Missed one!

When you deleted Franjo Topic, you missed that someone had moved the article to Franjo Topić after the AfD was started (I think). End result is that the article still exists, but isn't a recreation, so G6 may not technically apply. Please delete. Thanks. The-Pope (talk) 15:44, 3 March 2011 (UTC)

Okay will do. -- Cirt (talk) 20:18, 3 March 2011 (UTC)

Contents navigation

Hi, does anything ever come of this: "Adding topical links to contents pages navigational headers and footers"? Does someone "close" it or do we all just go on our merry ways? -- RichardF (talk) 17:06, 3 March 2011 (UTC)

Recommend post to WP:AN about it. -- Cirt (talk) 20:18, 3 March 2011 (UTC)

House episodes

Since when is WP:ITSNOTABLE a valid argument? I see nothing that suggests every episode is notable. Ten Pound Hammer, his otters and a clue-bat • ^{(Otters want attention)} 17:56, 4 March 2011 (UTC)

AfD

I noticed you recently closed the AfD for Longfellows poetical works. But during the discussion, the article was moved to Longfellow's Poetical Works,[2] so that article should be deleted as well. TFD (talk) 20:28, 4 March 2011 (UTC)
