The facts about the founder of In-N-Out Burger under "Did You Know" are wrong. Harry and Esther Snyder founded the business. User: Gillmartin, John 04 October 2006 {PDST}

WikiProject Asia?

[edit]

You subsume the Arabian Peninsula under Asia. However, in the introduction to Asia, there is no mention of it, aside from 'east of Suez'. That is a little too simple for me. Azd0815 (talk) 08:15, 27 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Is there a WikiProject Asia? I know there are wikiprojects for asian countries and certain parts of Asia, but why not a wikiproject for Asia itself? --Grrrlriot (talk) 00:05, 28 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Asia is not really an in that way, it's a set of areas... It would be better just to make a WikiProject Eurasia, since
  • W Asia, NW Asia, E Europe, NE Europe
  • SW Asia, SE Europe, S Europe, SW Europe, Mediterranean, N Africa, NE Africa

have a common history. 70.51.8.48 (talk) 06:14, 9 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

WikiProject East Asia

[edit]

Seems to be a need for WP:EASIA, to complement Central Asia, South Asia, Southeast Asia. 70.51.8.48 (talk) 06:14, 9 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Status report from the Portals WikiProject

[edit]

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   03:22, 30 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

No Consensus to Delete - Proposed Action

[edit]

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, by the Delete editors, or by the closer:

  1. This portal is now said to have at least one maintainer. That will require periodic attention to the portal, not just some drive-by edits. The portal maintenance template should be updated to identify the maintainer(s).
  2. The portal should be updated in response to events (e.g., political changes in nations in Asia), just as the articles are, rather than only in response to comments by other editors.
  3. An offer was made to train other editors in portal maintenance to provide a team of trained qualified maintainers.

The number of articles, 24, is too small for a continent as large as Asia. More included articles are needed.

Addressing those points within the next two months is a minimum for addressing the concerns raised in the MFD. If these points are not addressed in two months, this portal is likely to be nominated for deletion again.

Outdated content in content forked subpages was identified as an issue with other portals. The subpages all should be reviewed. At a minimum all of the subpages that no longer match the articles (which are updated through normal editing) need to be reforked. A better idea would be to add new subpages also. An even better idea would be to replace the content forks with transclusion of the lede.

If there is really a desire to demonstrate that portals in general can be improved, here are a few suggestions for design improvement:

  1. Use categories to select areas of interest (countries, subdivisions, natural features) for rotation.
  2. Replace forking of subpages with transclusion of the lede.
