Other neat portal ideas for longer term
- Longer term ideas to think about from other portals:
- 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.
- Model intro with some rotating images, after Portal:Oregon, Portal:Indiana, Portal:Iceland/Intro and Portal:Philosophy of science/Intro.
- Revamp DYK sections w/ free-use images, model after Portal:Criminal justice and Portal:Oregon.
- 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.
- 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)
Note to self
independent reliable secondary sources
- {{findsources}}
- Cite templates

- Citation model
- Body text in-cite
<ref name="REFNAME">[[#LASTNAME|LASTNAME]], p. PAGENUMBER</ref>
- References section
(reference template from WP:CIT)
*<cite id=LASTNAME>REFERENCE</cite>
- Different model
- Template:Citation

Dispatch
Cirt, Awadewit suggested that you might be interested in writing a Signpost Dispatch article on Featured portals (the only area of featured content we haven't covered). Sample previous articles are at {{FCDW}}. We've covered:
- Featured content overview
- Peer review
- Did you know
- Featured lists
- Good articles
- Featured sounds
- Featured topics
- Images
- TFA
- And Featured articles many times: Wikipedia:Wikipedia Signpost/2008-07-21/Dispatches, Wikipedia:Wikipedia Signpost/2008-04-07/Dispatches, Wikipedia:Wikipedia Signpost/2008-10-13/Dispatches
None of them start out looking like that: if an editor initially just chunks in some text, many others chip in to tweak it up to Signpost standards. For example, someone wrote this, which Karanacs, Royalbroil and I turned into this, so if you just chunk in some text as a start, others can help finish it off. Another example, I put in this outline, and Karanacs brought it up to this. Other editors have written almost complete and clean Dispatches without much need for other editing. If you're interested, please weigh in and coordinate at WT:FCDW In case you're interested, you could just begin sandboxing something at WP:FCDW/Portals and pop over to WT:FCDW to leave a note when you're ready for others to help out.

Razzies progress
- 15th Golden Raspberry Awards through 29th Golden Raspberry Awards = reformatting process done.
- Note: Going to have to go back and model these after the modifications made subsequently to 29th Golden Raspberry Awards.
- 29th Golden Raspberry Awards - so far only one expanded with sourcing research. (WP:FL)
- Razzie Award for Worst New Star = reformatting process done, next to use Talk:Razzie Award for Worst Picture as model to reformat other pages in Category:Golden Raspberry Awards by category (with subsection breaks by decade)

What does that mean? --Biswaranjan.das (talk) 02:43, 7 May 2010 (UTC)
Hello,
we are the devotees of Paramahansa Srimat Swami Nigamananda Saraswati Dev, who is one of the most revered and beloved Gurus from India. Recently i found that his page "Paramahansa Srimat Swami Nigamananda Saraswati Dev" has been deleted from Wiki.
My sincier request to you and Wiki, to restore the page. If you have any concerns about the content on the page please let us know. If we have not provided necesssry references, then it may be due to our mistake, or we never found out that the page needs some kind of citation or something like that nature. But that does not diminish or falsify the information we provided about our GURU.
Please restore the page , and let us know what are the things you need to adhere to wiki's standards.

Again on conflict of interest? what do you mean by that? Which interest you are talking about? We are not posting here to collect donations? What exact paragraph made you think like we are a spam company????

Deletion of Michelle DeFraites Page
I was told to contact you directly regarding the deletion of the "Michelle DeFraites" page. You were the one who apparently closed the discussion. I tried a "request for undeletion," to no avail.
Apparently, her page was deleted because she was not "notable" enough, although I am not quite sure what that criteria is. Since the original article was posted, she has starred in the record-breaking Lifetime movie "The Pregnancy Pact." It can be verified through IMDB or mylifetime.com. She is also now one of the Disney Channel MovieSurfers (verify it on www.moviesurfers.com.) Please undelete this entry so that we can update her information. Thanks!!
Sgdiii (talk) 21:30, 10 May 2010 (UTC)
- Deletion discussion was at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Michelle DeFraites. Perhaps you could work on a draft within a subpage of your userspace, as a proposed version which could hopefully utilize multiple WP:RS secondary sources. -- Cirt (talk) 21:32, 10 May 2010 (UTC)
I saw the discussion; it was only one or two comments. I no longer have access to the original page to work on; that's why I was requesting it be undeleted. Where might I find the guidelines on what is considered "notable" enough? Sgdiii (talk) 21:38, 10 May 2010 (UTC)
Done, now at User:Sgdiii/Michelle DeFraites. Needs lots of sourcing work with secondary WP:RS sources, per WP:BLP, and also in order to satisfy WP:NOTE. -- Cirt (talk) 21:41, 10 May 2010 (UTC)
Thanks!! I will try to reference as many things in the article as I can... —Preceding unsigned comment added by Sgdiii (talk • contribs) 21:48, 10 May 2010 (UTC)
Thanks for all your help. I have tried to reference as many things as I can. I am new at this, so forgive me if the references are not the type they should be; I am trying. The MovieSurfers group is apparently notable (they have an entry), so an individual MovieSurfer should be notable enough? Especially one who's starred in a TV movie? Please let me know if I have made any mistakes I need to correct. Once again, thanks! Sgdiii (talk) 03:31, 11 May 2010 (UTC)
- Bongomatic (talk · contribs) and JNW (talk · contribs) might have some useful input. -- Cirt (talk) 03:33, 11 May 2010 (UTC)

Hi. You may be interested in the subject section. — Jeff G. ツ 18:10, 11 May 2010 (UTC)
Hi Cirt. I know this is a bit unusual, but could I ask you to relist this one? I added multiple sources to the article, and then completely forgot to return to the AfD to say so. Thanks very much, Paul Erik (talk)(contribs) 19:37, 11 May 2010 (UTC)

TM WikiProject
One of the reasons why the Wikiproject was helpful was that some sourcing issues stretched across multiple articles in the Prem Rawat topic, so having a central discussion was very helpful. That kind of issue doesn't really exist with the TM topic, but there may be other benefits. Let me think about it and maybe I can put together a proposal. Will Beback talk 01:23, 13 May 2010 (UTC)
AfD for Michael Gurry

Josh McEachran
I have seen that you have deleted the page for Josh McEachran. I am ready to write up a new article for it. I have all the relevant sources that will be put in to it. Just informing you. No need to undelete the previous one, as I will start a new one. If you acknowledge this request, just leave an ok on my talk-page. Thanx! Laks.t.cfc13 (talk) 11:32, 13 May 2010 (UTC)

Response to "The End of the Free Market" deletion
Hello,
I see that you've deleted the page I wrote on Ian Bremmer's new book, The End of the Free Market. I was traveling out of the country when it was nominated for deletion and missed the chance to contribute to your debate. I work for Ian Bremmer, who is a political scientist and academic. He asked me to post factual information about his bio and his new book. We did not realize that this would be seen as promotional, but merely meant to add factual information to Wikipedia. Is there any chance we can discuss this in more detail and resubmit it (or another version) for reconsideration, now that the book has been formally released this week?
Please let us know how to best proceed. We did not mean to offend anyone or do something that goes against Wikipedia's policies. But we do want there to be factual information out there about state capitalism and Ian's thoughts on the matter.
Many thanks, JaneEG —Preceding unsigned comment added by JaneEG (talk • contribs) 20:37, 14 May 2010 (UTC)

Request to reconsider deletion of Cage(BDSM)...
Request to reconsider deletion of Cage(BDSM)...
I don't believe this article should have been deleted, it is a legitimate sub-culture within bondage and has many unique features. The reasons given for deletion were "Reads like advert" and "no sources". The article does not read like an advert, the text is not vendor specific, does not suggest that the reader make a purchase and if anything suggests by emphasizing the expense of this item that a person should not be encouraged to purchase it. If advertisements were like this, businesses would pretty soon go out of business.
It is true that the article contains no sources, however if that were used as the sole criteria thousands of Wikipedia articles would be deleted. As an example the article "Bondage Hood" does not reference any sources but contains much useful information and it would be a shame if that were removed.
As you can see I don't have a Wikipedia account and am just a humble reader. But the fact that one person feels that the original article contained something useful (fortunately I found it in Google's cache), should surely be a good argument for it's reinstatement. I agree that it would be nice to see it expanded as an example see this text
article/1009678/bdsm_a_guide_to_caging_your_male_or.html?cat=7 on the associatedcontent.com site.
I am not sure how to correctly reference this article in Wikipedia, but I feel that it could be incorporated into the undeleted article to provide better insight into the role of cages within BDSM.
I respectfully request that you reconsider this deletion. —Preceding unsigned comment added by67.189.191.188 (talk) 23:48, 14 May 2010 (UTC)
- First I would suggest you register on Wikipedia by creating an account, and then you could draft up some work on a subpage of your userspace. The link you propose above, fails WP:RS. -- Cirt (talk) 17:05, 16 May 2010 (UTC)

BugNET Deletion
Hi Cirt, I see you were the deleting administrator for the BugNET article I started http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=BugNET&action=edit&redlink=1 I am quite frustrated by this as I do not think the article received any kind of fair discussion. Myself and a couple of other people attempted to fix all inadequacies and believe we did so. In the end, the discussion page just had a few random people saying to the effect 'the article has no merit and looks a bit like an advertisement'. If the standard by which the article was judged was applied to similar pages, every single entry in this table http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_issue_tracking_systems and every single article linked off it must be deleted also. Can you please justify the action taken against an article about a piece of free software, started by myself, who is unrelated to the authors of the software? Is there a way to restore the article and related pages so it can receive fair assessment over time? The initial deletion nomination came shortly after my first edit, well before the article was completed. GregDude (talk) 05:18, 16 May 2010 (UTC)
I suggest the article be restored BUT if the references are still considered weak, place a notification of inadequate referencing on the page so it can be improved in future.GregDude (talk) 11:13, 16 May 2010 (UTC)
