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 (talk • contribs) 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 (talk • contribs) 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)
- Wikinews provides very little science news, so given the lack of material, I'm sad to note it would have to go. Since you didn't provide details, I had to guess what you meant on the grammar. Can you please give details now and/or in future? The excerpt was in fact revised - I'm sure you realise that not all leads are written in such a way as to be directly suitable for a portal cut-out in this way. Thanks. - Samsara (talk • contribs) 08:43, 27 July 2006 (UTC)
