Portal:Biology

This portal has been around for a long time, receives regular updates, and has had a minor facelift and expansion recently with the addition of links to related portals and Mediawiki resources.

It's been a great portal for quite some time, but we've apparently never thought about nominating it, so here goes. Looking forward to your comments.

PS: Here is a version from February 2005, two weeks after it was created.

Object:
  • Selected picture needs an image credit.
  • No list of major topics.
  • The "Alternative categorization schemes" box seems quite useless, but that might just be personal preference.
Overall, though, quite good. Kirill Lokshin 16:19, 15 July 2006 (UTC)

I agree that a box for the major topics is a must. Once that gets added, I'll probably be ready to support it.--ragesoss 17:13, 15 July 2006 (UTC)

Great work. Support.--ragesoss 13:37, 23 July 2006 (UTC)

Photo credits have been added. The major topics box is there, but needs some cosmetic changes over the coming few days. - Samsara (talkcontribs) 23:21, 18 July 2006 (UTC)

I think he meant a photo credit like so. Joe I 05:17, 20 July 2006 (UTC)
The correct edit was made, just reverted. Joe I 10:17, 20 July 2006 (UTC)

I contacted Cyde about this yesterday, and he's definitely been "on", but hasn't replied, so I've put the photo credit back in. I hope it lasts. - Samsara (talkcontribs) 13:20, 21 July 2006 (UTC)

Looks good; support from me now that the changes have been made. Kirill Lokshin 05:47, 22 July 2006 (UTC)
  • Minor object: It's a decent portal on a very important subject, however I can't yet support. The portal is presently quite unbalanced – the right column is significantly longer. I suggest keeping Did you know... to a minimum of four items and reformatting WikiProjects. If there is to be a News section (which looks rather like a tack-on), I'd like to see it maintained in the style of those of Portal:Australia and Portal:New Zealand. Categories could probably be presented nicer as well. With regards to content, it's important to revise the selected article/biography excerpts before publishing - the current selected biography was/is grammatically odd.--cj | talk 02:12, 27 July 2006 (UTC)
