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; "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: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.
Re: Hurricane Neddy
Sorry, I missed your comment on my talk page (due to someone posting after you). Unfortunately, I'm a little busy with some of my hurricane articles, but I'll give you a few things that should be done to the article before you put it up for FAC.
- The couch gag summary is rather long. Seeing as none of them are complete sentences, there should be no periods (full-stops). Additionally, I just noticed that it was taken directly from SNPP.com. That should be re-written.
- The lede should be a bit longer – ideally two paragraphs. I don't think the name of the hurricane needs to be in the lede, but perhaps some more plot could be thrown in up there. Be sure that the writing is professional, and avoids any flowery language. Hurricane Barbara viciously strikes Springfield but, by pure chance, the house of Ned Flanders is the only one destroyed. viciously? Additionally, stating that Ned Flanders' house being the only one destroyed is a bit of Original research, I believe. Does anywhere in the episode state that specifically?
- The plot is rather long, and I would say in need of a re-write before taking it to FAC. In the second sentence, is it necessary to state that Homer poorly secured the family home? Personally, I would say something like, "...resulting in panicked citizens storming the Kwik-E-Mart and causing the Simpson family to take refuge in their basement." This eliminates the hole when the next sentence says, "and the family cautiously leaves the basement" without ever saying they were in the basement. "Meanwhile, next door Flanders" reads awkwardly, and it should either specify that it was Ned, or the Flanders family in general. "Distraught with annoyance, Flanders begins to believe that God is punishing him and, seeking answers, he goes to read the Bible in the church but receives a papercut." This sentence is a tad long. Additionally, Dictionary.com says that papercut is not a word, and needs to be written as paper cut.
- Quick question - was Jay Sherman really billed as a guest star? I find that perplexing, given that he only made a brief cameo in one scene.
- In the production section, I'm confused about the inclusion of the second paragraph (the stuff about "John Swartzwelder"), since that doesn't appear to have anything to do with production. I recommend moving that paragraph to the "cultural references" section.
- In the reception section, it'd be great to see some reviews.
Good luck with improving it further, and if you need any more comments, feel free to give me a post. ♬♩ Hurricanehink (talk) 17:22, 1 March 2008 (UTC)
- Thanks for these pointers! I'll get on this when I get a chance. Cirt (talk) 19:36, 1 March 2009 (UTC)

Hi. Thanks for your message; I realized I'd misunderstood the instructions for an uncontroversial requested move. Have now posted request here. Sardanaphalus (talk) 14:54, 2 March 2008 (UTC)
Re: The Last Tempation of Krust
I'm not sure if I can guarantee my support, as I'm not sure what to expect from a featured episode. The quotes seem awkward, and I just feel that the writing is not professional enough. Perhaps ask Tony, as he is the guy to ask. Granted, he might be a bit busy, IDK. I don't think I'll comment on the next FAC. That way, I won't influence any other editors. If it truly is FA worthy, the community will prove that it is, and the opposite is true. ♬♩ Hurricanehink (talk) 17:34, 2 March 2008 (UTC)
