message: Was just seeing this portal and noticed that Wal-Mart has been "Company of the week" since August.  It is now February, and probably about time Portal:Companies/Selected article got changed or something.  Tuxide (talk) of WikiProject Retailing 09:50, 12 February 2008 (UTC)

message: I've been testing out some ideas for revamping the portal to bring it more in line with the other portals (in terms of both look and content) on Wikipedia. Using the basic portal templates and layouts used on Portal:Africa and Portal:Energy, I've mocked an example up in my sandbox. Does anyone have any thoughts/suggestions/criticisms about either the style or what should and shouldn't be included? Gr1st (talk) 14:14, 17 June 2008 (UTC)

message: My name is Stuart Gordon, and I am the Production and Communications Manager for Life Healthcare Communications The Hernes Oak North Street Winkfield Windsor SL4 4SY UK
I would like to create a page for my company because there is a company with almost the same name already on Wikipedia and there might be confusion. 
Life Healthcare Communications is the second largest independent healthcare agency in the UK.
The page for the other Life Healthcare is here - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LIFE_Healthcare_Group  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Stuartgordon70 (talk • contribs) 15:11, 12 November 2012 (UTC)

message: Wikipedia:WikiProject Portals is back!
The project was rebooted and completely overhauled on April 17th, 2018.
Its goals are to revitalize the entire portal system, make building and maintaining portals easier, and design the portals of the future.
As of April 29th, membership is at 56 editors, and growing.
There are design initiatives for revitalizing the portals system as a whole, and for each component of portals.
Tools are provided for building and maintaining portals, including automated portals that update themselves in various ways.
And, if you are bored and would like something to occupy your mind, we have a wonderful task list.
From your friendly neighborhood Portals WikiProject.      — The Transhumanist    03:36, 30 April 2018 (UTC)

thread_title:  Missing template: Portal:Companies/box-footer 

message: I have significantly upgraded the portal, which now has separate FA and GA article sections, a Featured picture section, a new Selected article section and the separate Selected companies section, all of which have been expanded with more content. The Selected companies section, which has been in place for quite some time, has been further expanded to include entries for major companies from various areas of the world, as well as other various companies. The articles are now displayed using transclusions of content directly on the main portal page, the process of which keeps the content up-to-date relative to the content that is presented in articles. Of course, more articles can be added to further expand the portal, and other work can also be performed to further upgrade it. North America1000 15:23, 28 August 2019 (UTC)
thread_title:  Portal upgraded and updated 

message: This portal was recently nominated for deletion, and the MFD was closed on 28 August 2019 as No Consensus.  The following points were noted either by the Keep editors or by the closer:
#This portal is not yet listed as having a maintainer,although improvements were made.  There should be at least one actual maintainer, and there should be periodic evidence of maintenance.
If there is no evidence of a maintainer or no evidence of maintenance, there is likely to be another MFD in two months.  
Some of the Delete editors noted that there were no articles on business in general or business law.  While these are out of the current scope of this portal, which is Portal:Companies and not Portal:Business, information articles would be a good addition. 
 
If there is really a desire to demonstrate that portals in general can be improved, here are a few suggestions for design improvement:
#Use categories of companies to select companies.

message: I just noticed the Portal:companies template at the bottom of an article I was editing.  Are there any guidelines for when to include it?  I don't see it very often.  Is the goal to have it at the bottom of every company article? TimTempleton (talk) (cont) 01:56, 14 January 2021 (UTC)
