message: ::I have set up random biographies, plus I have added instructions to the nomination and index pages. It would be nice if I could get a few nominations for articles and biographies, just to start of with a reasonable selection. MortimerCat 01:36, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

message: Reading Portal/Guidelines it seems that we shouldn't be using "thumbs", in the article/biog sections as this creates a problem with the background - Olive Oil -ŢάĽɮ - 10:34, 20 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I have removed a few thumbs, and reduced the picture size in the featured article. I will go through them methodically later, checking the pictures too. MortimerCat 18:17, 20 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I have changed all the live random pictures to match our standard. So if any appear that look odd, missing credits etc. please edit them. Just to warn you, do not change the max= parameter for the moment, there are some incomplete pictures still. However, I should get these finished tonight. MortimerCat 08:21, 22 February 2007 (UTC)

thread_title: Pictures

message: It is against Wiki policy to use Fair Use images on Portal pages, see WP:FUC#9. Basically, these means we have to remove all the pictures from the random biographies. I think is best if we do it, and add a bit more text at the same time. If we don't, someone else will come along and just zap the picture, which happened on some other Portals I am involved with.
nb There is debate on using Fair use on Portals here Wikipedia:Fair use/Amendment/Fair use images in portals2     MortimerCat 19:16, 7 April 2007 (UTC)

replies: text: Would there be any objections if I changed the portals box to use ?  It would make it more compact, and consistent with the other South East England portals. Waggers (talk) 08:59, 1 September 2008 (UTC)

thread_title: Neighbouring Portals

message: At English Wikisource, I have added the work s:Notes on the churches in the counties of Kent, Sussex, and Surrey by Arthur Hussey which contains an extensive notes section on the parish churches of the county. It has been a finicky work, however, I think that the detail and the images make it worthwhile. I hope that people are able to make use of the work for the village histories. — billinghurst sDrewth 13:26, 13 September 2011 (UTC)

message: I am planning to delete my rather poor old scanned photo :File:Rochester Cathedral.jpg but see it is featured here. Is it possible to request that someone else's much better photo - :File:Rochester Cathedral from Castle.JPG - be used instead?--Keith Edkins ( Talk ) 17:51, 13 January 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  Replace selected image? 

message: Would anyone object if I gave the portal a little spruce up to bring it more inline with the other portals.  I think it looks a bit weary and dated.  I was thinking red and white.  Or perhaps someone has some other ideas.  Thanks Chelb (talk) 20:31, 5 September 2015 (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    07:35, 2 May 2018 (UTC)
