recentism, as the more recent the event, the more likely we'd have an exact date. This might be alright, but if I couldn't find anything for a specific date, the portal breaks every time that comes up. I considered On this week and on this month as substitutes, but am not sure the latter would update enough, and to do on this week properly, I'd have to be doing arbitrary week beginnings, since (for example) which day is a Sunday will vary every year (and I have no idea how to handle leap years, or the fact that 52*7 = 364, leaving one or two extra days outside On this Week.) I think this would be better done as a list article than part of a portal.
1115:- The nominator has been inactive since June, and as of right now there is work that needs to be done that hasn't been touched in some time. I'd love to see this portal become featured, but there's no point in keeping the process open if no one is working on it. Adam Cuerden showed an interest in taking this nomination over, but if he or someone else does it would make more sense to reboot the nomination from scratch, or at least stick all of the above comments in a collapse box, because a lot of the commentary is stale.

I'm keen, personally, on calendar-related portal sections, as they cut the articles in a different way from other access methods and can, I think, be appealing to readers; however, if that's impractical in this case I won't oppose on the absence of that alone. The topics issue is, imo, key to portals
732:
That would be a rather non-standard usage, and might be mistaken for birth and death dates at first for the images that took multiple years. It also has the potential to be ambiguous - for example, for a photo of a statue (not in the current list, but plausible), do we give the date of the statue, or
524:
There are several ways of describing the content under the mantle of the portal, eg century, type of conflict, type of subject (eg biography, battle, weapon, war-related propaganda &c&c), rather than just repeating the links to the military history of each country, which is already readily
1182:
We're going to reboot the nomination in a few days once Adam's finished with the Topics section and I've finished with the DKYs. When I wrote the above comment, I had yet to make contact with Adam and had yet to start working on the portal again, so I think that I said the right thing at the time
750:
It's usually done as the date of the photograph or artwork in question; I suppose for a photograph of a statue one might need both, but that doesn't seem an insuperable problem, especially as you don't currently have any examples. It's fine, IMO, to put it in the text if that's appropriate, as I
594:
I don't believe there's a code way of doing it -- it just comes down to making sure as many boxes as possible are of similar size for all the sub-selections and then moving boxes around (trying them in each column or over double columns) until the balance is as close as possible for a range of
479:
I don't think this is going to happen: There's some major issues. First of all, if I tried to do it for specific days, I hit issues with there being at least two major calendars in use for almost all of the recent period of this portal - Gregorian and Julian - and it would suffer badly from

the relatively useless date of the photograph - when we may well be crediting the photographer for the image. Britain has very strong
Freedom of Panorama rights, so that situation isn't horribly unlikely. But I may be overthinking. What do you think?

Question from a MILHIST coordinator, is this conversation officially dead, because its been 2 years since anyone's posted? Because it is still in the MILHIST alerts, so if it ever passed, please pass it, if it did not, please fail it, thanks.

I don't know what you guys talked about on IRC so I will close base only on what is being said on this page. I conclude that there is no clear consensus and that this nomination has stalled, therefore it is not a successful nomination.

based on the reality as it was. That being said, having a clean nomination to work from is ideal, as most of the people commenting above were commenting on something that was, at this point, a different product than it is now.

Topics by country feels to overlap the categories (tho' I'm aware it is linking summary articles). Could the topics be cut in a non-national fashion for the topics box, given that the category tree gives access to the national

There are only five sets of DYKs; there must be thousands more to be mined from the archives. Suggest adding an image to each set (doesn't matter if it didn't appear with an image on the main page as long as the license is

I like the empire maps and similar (2,8-13); are there any other similar? I think the specific battle ones are less useful in context of the intro, though they would be valuable in the context of a
Selected map box.

We've talked about htis on IRC, but the only real issues remaining are Topics and DYK; I think I can get through this with even a little guidance (which I've had a lot of trouble getting hitherto, unfortunately.)
205:, and so on. Also, (really minor), "more featured pictures" should be on one line, even when zoomed in a little. If it's possible, try to fix it. Otherwise, the portal still deserves featured status. --
977:
I'll certainly support if the bulk of my comments are addressed. At the moment, I think changes are still in progress on substantive areas such as DYKs, some form of events calendar, and topics.
545:
Fair point. I'll see if I can get someone in who knows about topics to do a repruning; I honestly never use them, so someone who does can manage this better. Will put a message on
143:
Could you put links to the complete set of selected articles, biographies, battles, DYKs, as you have for pictures? This would make it easier to review the content. Thanks,
268:
Nice clean look. The customised header is nice. The content for articles and biographies is varied and usually relevant, and I like the inclusion of the
Selected Battle.
1058:
Sorry, my life got really busy, but it should get done this week. And MILHIST has been informed, but they aren't always very good at speedy reaction times. =)
223:, which links to all the military history portals. Also, by one line, do you mean that the More Selected Pictures link should be below the Read More link?--
425:
Interesting idea; I'll see if it's practical (it is, as you say, a wide timespan, so I have to check the day articles and see if I can extract enough).
577:
I can't see any other portals that have succeeded in this balance, so am going to presume it impossible. If you have an example, I'll nick their code.
