message: The portal has had no content for this year. I will convert it to a random portal ASAP. -- Secisek (talk) 07:28, 11 February 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Done. Once the calendar is filled in, I will nominate it for featured portal. -- Secisek (talk) 13:08, 11 February 2009 (UTC)

text: One question. How many names do you want included? A look at April 3#Holidays and observances, for example, shows 3 names. The Orthodox church calendar would add a lot more. If you were to select just one, how would you do so? Quality first, then maybe choosing the most important at that quality level? John Carter (talk) 18:52, 2 April 2009 (UTC)

message: I hesitate writing here because the stream seems to have gone elsewhere. But I've just uploaded a proposed article about Harriet Monsell, who's on the Anglican calendar for March 26, but never had a wikipedia article before. I used the page creation wizard, which might not have been a great idea, both because of the backlog and because the only other time I used it, the assigned reviewer had no apparent background in history or saints. I'd like to get the article at least up, so others can edit it, but it may have silly errors because of my inexperience (turns out the last one had an unknown carriage return as the first character, which is a defect with my cut and paste methods, but hadn't been noticed nor corrected til I attended wikimania20120.

message: Greetings, while doing article assessments for WP Catholicism, I found the template . Rather than being bold on this visible portal, I'm wondering if it would be helpful to place this template at the bottom of this portal page? To me 'Catholic saints' it looks to be exactly on-topic, so my answer would be: Yes. Regards, JoeHebda (talk) 16:13, 4 July 2015 (UTC)

message: I think Saint is just not specific for Christians right?. Please add muslim, hindu and sikh saints section in this portal or rename this portal as "Christian saints". Thanks in advance--39.50.231.3 (talk) 13:43, 10 October 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: Means no respect for other religions? please change this wikipedia name from english wikipedia to christianpedia!39.50.146.140 (talk) 13:10, 11 October 2017 (UTC)
replies: text:  The Islamic equivalent of a Christian Saint is called a "Wali" which has its own article; likewise Bodhisattva for the Buddhists, and I'm sure the other religions have their own terms for their respective equivalents. While the word "saint" does have secular usage meaning "a good person", in the religious section we should be careful to use the proper terms to avoid confusion.

replies: text:  You are wrong brother! tell me one thing, what english-speaking muslims Use Isa or Jesus for same person? they use Jesus even english-quranic translation contains Jesus!. Same for Wali, the term is used by arab muslims, and english muslim uses Saint (this is english wikipedia not arabic wikipedia). And Rename this portal or add other religion saints and wait i think saints are also Body of Christ in the bible. I think term Saint is'nt specific for christians   39.50.224.123 (talk) 13:57, 14 October 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: Please rename this portal "Christian Saints" or add non-christian saints section--Thanks--39.50.224.123 (talk) 14:12, 14 October 2017 (UTC)
replies: text:  The Wali article is on English Wikipedia. Pleas provide a Reliable Source to show Muslim use of the word "Saint". Otherwise this appears to be only your Point of View. The fact that you use a word incorrectly does not make the word wrong. Mediatech492 (talk) 16:41, 14 October 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: Brother i am not asking about the page or term i am requesting that "please add non-christian saints section" in this portal or rename the portal "Christian saint". ,  these are some evidence about term saint, they all are using Muslim saints instead of Wali. That means the entry of non christian saints in this portal is necessary and according to your wikipedia Neutral point of view the existence of non christian saint's section is necessary -- 39.50.140.242 (talk) 17:35, 14 October 2017 (UTC)
replies: text:  Add or make non-christian saints section. Thanks 39.50.140.242 (talk) 17:44, 14 October 2017 (UTC)
replies: text:  If you want this change made you will need to provide a source to support your assertion. Mediatech492 (talk) 22:01, 14 October 2017 (UTC)
replies: text:  You was saying that Wali is specific for muslim saint, no brother check this quranic verse the term "أَوْلِيَاءَ" (Awliya) plural of Wali. In that verse the meaings are different. Western muslim uses Saint instead of wali (the meaning of wali in this link-quranic verse is diferent from saint that is allies of Christian or Jews). I am not interested in any type of controvercies and i am requesting again please add non christian saint section in this portal. The wikipedia page Saint is neutrally distributed for all religions but what about this portal?---39.50.239.133 (talk) 15:04, 15 October 2017 (UTC)

message: 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, support the ongoing improvement of portals and the editors dedicated to this, and design the portals of the future.
As of May 2nd, 2018, membership is at 60 editors, and growing. You are welcome to join us.
There are design initiatives for revitalizing the portals system as a whole, and for improving each component of portals.  So far, 2 new dynamic components have been developed: Template:Transclude lead excerpt and Template:Transclude random excerpt.
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. Hope to see you there. Sincerely,      — The Transhumanist    07:44, 2 May 2018 (UTC)
