message: There is no formal policy with selected articles, and they can be changed whenever - though it may be:Hm, sure the "changed whenever" is a good idea? It only means that it may rarely get changed, so could go stale. How about every month or something? -- cds(talk) 12:04, 3 June 2006 (UTC)

replies: text: Although I understand keeping it informal, it would be an idea to keep track and give others input. If we created a subpage for nominations (they don't have to be voted on as voting is evil) but just chosen and striked out. If anyone disagrees with one they can have a discussion. If we did go ahead with this I suggest a page such as Portal_talk:Internet/Featured Article. Maybe Portal_talk:Internet/Selected article. LC@RSDATA 17:46, 12 June 2006 (UTC)

message: I removed the screenshot in the selected biography section, as it was a violation of Wikipedia's fair use policy.

thread_title:  {{ccl|Internet forums}} cleanup? 

message: Where should this fall/be organized under, do you think? I had started this article and wanted to get back into my old editing (rather silly AfD related drama has been distracting me for a couple weeks). 
Any thoughts? Thanks... rootology 06:38, 1 August 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  [[Timeline of Internet conflicts]] 

message: I made some changes to the portal and will make some more unless someone objects or asks for clarification. I'm not sure if anyone is going to care given that it hasn't been significantly changed since August. Hope all is ok with this. shotwell 11:16, 1 December 2006 (UTC)
