845:. After deciding that I don't really know enough to help extend some prose in of all places a Featured List Candidate, this was my first port of call. Aesthetically it's very good, the selections of content are interesting, the pictures are absolutely beautiful, and I found several of the most useful articles directly from this portal. I'm oblivious to any Manual of Style considerations, but on all other 642:
further down, between the "What you can do" and "Related portals" sections. Good articles may be worthy in their own right, but they are not featured articles, so either they should be removed or the title of the section should be changed. The problem is especially glaring when featured pictures are
761:
My concern is more about the ordering and length of the list. I think putting project-related work at the top and bottom of the list makes this portal seem quite inwardly focussed on the details of the Volcanoes WikiProject. Is tagging talk pages with a project banner really the most important task
383:
It looks much better now, thanks. The bias in featured content is not really the portal's fault. (It's probably due to some combination of editor interests, how complete and accessible research in different countries is, and the public domain nature of US federal government publications.)
336:
I've added two more South American articles to the listing, but the bias is still there. Truth of the matter is, the listing uses 15 of the 23 featured articles in our scope, and the rest are all American or Canadian. The bias can only be removed by deleting existing FAs, something I'm
315:
I was going to say "nonsense", but that's a really valid point. FAs are 6 for NA, 1 for Europe, 2 for Asia, and 3 for other planets, and FPs are 6 for NA, 3 for Europe. 2 for Asia, and 3 for other planets. It's pretty late now but I'll handle it tommorow.
893:. I think this portal is quite close to Featured standard. I liked the strong & appropriate colour scheme, and I particularly enjoyed the interesting & varied selection of images. Some relatively minor comments follow: 798:
Tagging talk pages is a pretty common first item. I designed to portal to have as little maintainance as possible, so the To do list is forked from the project list. I've trimmed it down to the five most pertinent items.
276:"Hey Mario, do we have Happy Ending drive enabled?" "Duh Luigi." "Well, check anyway." "Oh for Pete's sake look it's right here and it's set to...off?" "...Crap." "This might end unhappily." "Zomg." 74:
I am nominating this for featured portal because I've put a lot of work into the portal, and it's vastly improved. The tips left from the first nomination way back when were particularly helpful.
1177:
Most geologists don't stick around any particular volcanoes, but work a lot of them in their time. As for the images, almost all of them are on their ~sites on copyrighted university networks.
762:
we can think of? I think it would be better to prune this back to the three or four most pressing content-related issues, and perhaps also include a link to a separate project-focussed list. --
905:
Not really. Geologists and volcanologists are an under-represented caste on Knowledge, mostly because sources are pretty sparse: they write a lot of things, but usually not about themselves.
448:
in general this is an attractive portal. Just a quick comment or two, but Enceladus in the SA section is missing a caption for its photo, as is the Io moon SP. Can these be corrected?
559:
I agree there's no point changing the topic just for the sake of change, but a six-month-old "collaboration of the month" makes the portal look stale. Renaming it would be fine. --
21: 94: 1305:
I've handled all the issues, Addict hasn't been on since the 27th (taking a break, I think). Is it ready for archiving? The nom has been open for a mean 35 days.
1172:
Is it possible to add images for all the biographies? Possibly pictures of the volcanoes with which they are associated, if no image of the person is available?
233: 968:
Some sections had typos/grammatical errors in the blurbs as well as in the instructions -- I've fixed those I saw, but a careful copy edit would be useful.
44: 1047:
I found the layout with a single column for 5 boxes at the bottom of the portal a little dull. Could some of these continue in the two-column format?
1072:
It's usual to link the subject in the bold start to the blurb, not in Read more. You do this in Selected Articles but not in Selected Biographies.
644: 739:
3. Project-related tasks seem to be given undue prominence in the "What you can do" section, especially given the maturity of the project.
237: 221: 120: 34: 17: 1222:
A couple of minor tweaks in Selected pictures: there is a redlink in Selected picture 19; in Selected picture 6 units need translating.
1122:
The portal is inconsistent with using full stops at end of image captions and no punctuation; also at end of attribution to quotations.
225: 950:
Perhaps not. Apparently I did a crummy job on that, because searching archives gave me 23 more dyks, almost enough for 3 listings :)
856: 512: 461: 1335: 1318: 1296: 1276: 1258: 1240: 1215: 1190: 1165: 1140: 1115: 1090: 1065: 1040: 1015: 986: 963: 943: 918: 885: 860: 837: 812: 789: 771: 756: 724: 706: 692: 674: 656: 633: 600: 586: 568: 554: 521: 490: 470: 438: 411: 393: 376: 354: 329: 307: 289: 269: 253: 214: 198: 179: 158: 140: 114: 87: 639: 360: 683:
would be too). So the problem is the title. I've changed it to "Featured work and other approved content" - is that okay? --
613:
2. It seems odd to me that the "Featured content" list includes good articles, and doesn't even mention featured pictures.
925:
Are there any more DYKs available? They seem to come up relatively often; I'd be very surprised if there had only been 32.
993:
It's not clear why Triton is included in Selected Articles. The blurb should mention something related to volcanism.
423:- It's come a long way since I worked on it, and now it's aesthetically nice, well-designed, and a good resource. 1291: 1253: 680: 541:
Perhaps I should rename it Project collaboration? I don't like cycling collabs if no work has been done on them.
1312: 1270: 1234: 1209: 1184: 1159: 1134: 1109: 1084: 1059: 1034: 1009: 980: 957: 937: 912: 806: 750: 718: 668: 627: 580: 548: 484: 405: 370: 348: 323: 283: 247: 192: 152: 108: 81: 930:
I've been keeping active track of that. I think that there may be enough content for another listing, yes.
1197:
Does News need to have the header News monitor? The format of dates in the archive should be standardised.
1097:
In the Introduction, I'd suggest joining up two short paragraphs which both relate to intraplate volcanos.

This nomination has been closed as "promote" but there may be a delay until the bot processes this.

I've added a link to the gallery, enough? I could remove the GAs, but I'm not so hot on that...
1027:
I liked it really. It predates my involvement with the Portal, and I found it very appealing.
1328: 1022:
I found the frame around the Selected Pictures detracted from the layout -- is it necessary?

Looks good, and looks like the portal meets all the criteria in my opinion, so
260: 205: 170: 620:? I've kept it despite its delisting to help counteract the centricity. 697:
I've also added a link to a new gallery of relevant valued pictures. --
538:
1. The "collaboration of the month" hasn't been updated since January.
363:. Now, for featured pictures (on second thought, maybe tommorow...). 43:
Subsequent comments should be made on the portal's talk page or in
398:
Yeah, we really don't have anything in Africa, for example. Pity.
679:
I agree the GAs are worth highlighting (and valued pictures like
900:
Are there any more biographies of a suitable standard available?
849:
I think this is worthy of joining our other featured content. --
1147:
Do you need the link to Recent additions in Did you know?
168:
Have relevant WikiProject talk pages been notified? --
61: 298:The current page seems very U.S.-centric to me. -- 1342:The above discussion is preserved as an archive. 47:. No further edits should be made to this page. 1247:Hope this is helpful in improving the portal. 1348:No further edits should be made to this page. 33:The following is an archived discussion of a 8: 185:I'm sure you know the answer to that one... 145:It is for me...perhaps it is the redirect. 45:Knowledge talk:Featured portal candidates 828:.
