This is a self nom for the Indian Portal. The portal has gone through a
peer review and suggestions and concerns raised during PR have now been incorporated. I feel it meets all the criteria to be deemed
WP:FPORT.

Object:
No archives for "Did you know" and "News".
The picture archive is a mess of redlinks. Something to the effect of "No picture has been selected yet" should be given for each of them.
The topic box has a redundant edit link and a strangely placed list of car models.
What is the picture in the news section related to?
Finally, the material needs to be copyedited. The "Today's selected article" blurb for the
Indian rebellion of 1857, for example, is filled with grammatical mistakes.Kirill Lokshin 20:17, 22 March 2006 (UTC)reply
Comment: Contributors are working to address your objections. I don't see the "strangely placed list of car models"...where is it exactly?
AreJay 23:56, 22 March 2006 (UTC)reply
REALLY small text : P (I know you can enlarge it but still!)
Wikiprojects should either be moved from it's current position and/or merged with Related Portals or India Topics
Associated Wikimedia should be at the bottom
Did you know should have a question mark at the end
In News you've stacked the links, line them together with seperaters
What's the difference between Categories and India Topics?
A good start, but still a while to go, if these things got addressed (and maybe a colour change?) then it'd have my support : )

Comment:
Wikiprojects is unrelated to Related Portals or India Topics. Wikiprojects provides a platform for collaboration on various India related topics. It is more a platform than an actual topic.
Can you clarify what you mean when you say "line them together with separators?"
Categories are Wikipedia Categories dealing with India. India Topics contains a collection of India related sub-topics, organized by theme.
As far as text, we designed the portal to appear presentable on a standard 800x600 resolution with browser text-size set to Medium. Perhaps, your text-size is set to small? I'm not saying it can't be changed if it is a definate issue, I'm only saying that I would rather leave it the way it is for now. If you feel this is an issue, we'll address it.

The text is TOO small for 1024x768 which is fast becoming the norm. OTH, london portal is perfect for 1024x768. Also, I changed resolution to 800x600 and london portal is still fine and I find portal India size to be still bit small (although much better than 1024x768). (

Comment: Some work done to address above concerns:
Some more pictures has been added to
Picture archive. This archive is for the
whole year, so it appears like a mess of redlinks, but gradually by putting some more images, it does not look like so. It has already a backup of more than 20 days.
All the contents are of high quality. If there is some need to work somewhere, suggestions are invited.

I don't really agree on the selected articles issue. If it's part of the India portal, it should be done on a subpage; if it's a separate process, it should be in the Wikipedia: namespace. I'm pretty sure it's not a separate portal, in any case, so it's current placement is inappropriate.

Selected articles/
pictures are the subpages of

Comment: I have commented out the whole host of red links in the
picture archive. Per your suggestion, I have also added a note at the bottom saying Nominees past the above week have not been added as yet. Does this and the above summary of the remediation effort sufficiently address your concerns? Thanks.

Support so long as red links are eliminated outside of Tasks you can do.The Related portals section seems to be substituting a See also section, which is not strictly correct - but this isn't a reason to oppose. Good work - this portal has long deserved a makeover.--

Comment: red-links removed. Can you clarify your suggestion on the Related Links section? I'll be happy to address that as well. Thanks
AreJay 14:44, 28 March 2006 (UTC)reply
I think, making a different template for requested articles can help in removing red links. I am not sure. If we display "Requested articles" only on the portal, it may help. Anybody can see these red links by clicking on the template.
