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)

Block of User:Markodotcom

Just wanted to let you know, I think you did this block slightly wrong. The "Spamusername" option is really for people with company usernames who have been promoting the company, be it through a user page, or spam links, etc. In this case, this should have been a plain "{usernameblock}" because the user wasn't actually advertising or promoting. The problem with the way you did things is that (1) this user, unlike actual spammers, should have been allowed to create a new account, and (2) the block message was probably confusing because the only issue is the username. Personally, I disagree with the need to block usernames like this if they aren't promoting anything, but that's just my opinion. Anyway, he's been unblocked now to change his name.

Also, since your such a good guy, you wanna copy edit Davenport, Iowa for me, so I can FAC nom it? CTJF83Talk 18:28, 9 October 2008 (UTC)

I will take a look, though my plate is pretty full at the moment. You might want to try asking for help at WPP:COPY. Cirt (talk) 23:31, 9 October 2008 (UTC)

Calling you out.

I removed a citation needed tag because the "citation" demanded was mind-bogglingly self-explanatory, e.g. that the "traumatic engram" of the Xenu/Xemu story was far from unique, and LRH concocted many other such anecdotes such as the Bubblegum Incident, the Gorilla Goals, the Space Clam and anything else covered in Incident (Scientology). —Preceding unsigned comment added by 96.237.59.92 (talk) 01:43, 10 October 2008 (UTC)
