Portal talk:Baseball/Archive 1

message: Hi! This is where we can discuss new ideas for this portal. I particularly like User:MusiCitizen's idea of a "This day in baseball" section. Anyone else have ideas? Also, let's start a voting system for featured article and featured picture. I think we can consider changing them once a week. What does everyone think about that? Danny 04:06, 29 May 2005 (UTC)

message: The dark green background + black text in the textboxes do not look good at all. Maybe someone talented can come up with a better color scheme.User:Komsomolets 1.18.06
I agree, this page looks hideous. 71.198.153.155 01:51, 24 January 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Change the color maybe? 

message: Make sure you look at this page in Firefox.  Needs some massive reformatting, things are all over the place.  ℬastique▼talk 03:11, 3 Jun 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes, reformatting the entire portal to be pleasing to multiple web browsers is a must - it doesn't look good when viewed in Apple's Safari, either.  Plus, the teal-navy blue color scheme is perhaps not particularly pleasing.Xinoph 20:06, 6 November 2005 (UTC)

text: I Changed some of it a bit so the text stays in the blocks. I'm not sure what to do about the color I don't like much,maybe baseball field green?Jackalsclaw 20:19, 16 December 2005 (UTC)

message: Hey, I didn't notice much activity in Wikiproject:Baseball, so I thought I might post this here.  Would someone please copyedit/expand/fact check Blocking the plate?  —Sean κ. + 22:39, 9 Jun 2005 (UTC)

thread_title:  Is this dead? 

message: Am I right in assuming this Portal's been abandoned. I'd like to revive it in time for Opening Day. I'm planning on looking through the other portals and seeing what choices they've made that we can steal, so if anyone's still watching this and is married to some content or design element here let me know. Or just leave a note if you're interested in helping me revive this.  I prefer to decide things by consensus, but I'll go ahead and start making unilateral decisions if no-one else shows an interest. --Djrobgordon 01:04, 20 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I took a look at the portal and at your sandbox. Dropping the background color was a good move -- much easier to read. Also the smaller sections work well -- not so overwhelming.--Kathy A. 20:40, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

text: I took a look at your sandbox as well, it looks nice. Smaller boxes are nicer than the large sections, and the colours work well, better than what's their now. Good work. --Borgardetalk 10:52, 21 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Thank you both for the feedback. --Djrobgordon 22:57, 21 February 2007 (UTC)

text: Australian Portal has Portal:Australia/Featured_article/2007 for featured articles. So like you have with a template. I think it's alright. --Borgardetalk 04:28, 24 February 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Revival 

message: I have a few things to say here.
*There was not a selected bio, article, and picture for the month chosen. It said to choose one immediately, so I went ahead and picked a picture. If you don't like it, go ahead and change it.
*Baseball is a huge category. WikiProject Baseball and this portal have lots of potential. I am willing to work at this and even maybe eventually make this a featured portal. That would be very nice.
*I think it would be cool to eventually change the monthly picture, article, and bio (or just article and bio, or just one of those, whatever works) to a daily thing. I could pick one of them for each day if nobody else is willing.
OK everyone, tell me what you think here. Thanks   jj137 (Talk) 01:31, 12 November 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: If you're having problems in finding content or time to update this portal, you could consider adapting it to use  as used by Portal:Association football and others. This template chooses a random article/picture/bio from a subpage for display on every page view and keeps the portal content fresh without having to queue up content for months in advance (see also Portal:Association football/Instructions/Advanced and Portal:Association football/Selected article). 86.21.74.40 (talk) 07:39, 17 January 2008 (UTC)

thread_title:  A few things... 

message: I'm not going to go against the flow just leave a couple of passing comments.  The DYKs could be randomized so they same ones aren't always up, same with the quotes.  Finally the news section could be automatically imported with the WikiNews Impoter Bot.  Very nice color scheme by the way.  §tepshep  •  ¡Talk to me! 20:41, 25 March 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Baseball Before We Knew It, a new article started by me, appeared on DYK. Will it be mentioned in this portal? AdjustShift (talk) 16:02, 12 September 2008 (UTC)

thread_title:  Proposal on Naming Conventions 

message: That news section is mostly out of date (aside from the Cardinals entry). Is there a better way to have the bot bring the news than the current method? – Muboshgu (talk) 17:14, 10 November 2011 (UTC)
