Other neat portal ideas for longer term
- Longer term ideas to think about from other portals:
- Events section, like: "On this day" e.g., Biography, Religion; "Selected anniversaries" e.g., War; "Calendar" at Holidays. Interesting idea of "Month selected anniversaries", at Oregon.
- Model intro with some rotating images, after Portal:Oregon, Portal:Iceland/Intro and Portal:Philosophy of science/Intro.
- Revamp DYK sections w/ free-use images, model after Portal:Criminal justice and Portal:Oregon.
- Portal palettes at User:RichardF/Palettes/Portals. Comparable color schemes can be developed from the various hue lists at User:RichardF/Palettes. Also see Portal:Box-header.
- If there are a lot of categories, then categories section to 2 columns, like in Portal:Indiana.
Impressive!
Hiya,
Just wanted to drop a quick "congratulations" on your very well sourced, well written and engaging article on Project Chanology! (I'm still fairly new, so please bear with me if I've left this message in the wrong place but it otherwise doesn't really contribute to the topic so it didn't feel right putting it in the Chanology discussion page.)
Keep up the sterling work! :) IgorsBrain (talk) 14:58, 22 February 2008 (UTC)
- It is a collaborative effort, couldn't have done it without the help of multiple skilled editors - but thank you. Cirt (talk) 17:59, 22 February 2008 (UTC)
- Ah, my apologies - I didn't mean to undervalue the fine efforts of the other contributors (newbie mistake on my part I'm afraid)! Your combined efforts have resulted in a genuinely interesting and notable article. Thank you for the welcome message, too, by the way! I look forward to possibly collaborating with you guys on future articles. :) IgorsBrain (talk) 14:08, 25 February 2008 (UTC)
- Sound good, let me know if you need any help. Cirt (talk) 14:11, 25 February 2008 (UTC)

Rajneeshee
Hey Cirt, I just noticed that there's a stub at Rajneeshee, which doesn't link to the much more excellent content on the subject. My sense is that here in Oregon, that's the name people are most likely to think of when researching the subject, so it seems this situation ought to be remedied. I could slap a few "see also"s on there, but thought I'd bring it up to you, since you're more familiar with the subject. Perhaps some kind of merge or redirect is a better solution. What do you think of doing a navigation template for the Rajneeshees topic? It's a little tough to figure out how all the pieces fit together, that might be a good solution. -Pete (talk) 06:52, 25 February 2008 (UTC)
- Um, well there is already the template, {{Osho movement}}, is that what you mean? Cirt (talk) 06:54, 25 February 2008 (UTC)
- Um yeah sorry, noticed that right after I posted this, but you beat me to the correction! I'll slap it on the Rajneeshee article, case closed. I think it's time for bed. -Pete (talk) 06:58, 25 February 2008 (UTC)
- Man, it's already there too. Okay, I'm getting offline right now. I swear. (Though I think it could stand to be expanded on the stub page.) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Peteforsyth (talk • contribs) 06:59, 25 February 2008 (UTC)

Userpage vandalism

GA Sweeps
Do you want to lend us a hand? We can definitely take more experienced reviewers onto the sweep team. OhanaUnited 04:53, 26 February 2008 (UTC)
- I dunno, what would be involved, how many articles does each editor normally take on in a sweep? Probably I think I'll just stick to occasionally doing a few reviews directly from the WP:GAN page, but I'd like to know a bit more about the sweeps first. Cirt (talk) 05:29, 26 February 2008 (UTC)
- You just pick a sub-category of GA and review it, so there's no set amount of articles per editor. It's totally voluntary and you can go at your own pace. Some people reviews fast, some (like me) tends to go slow. OhanaUnited 05:35, 26 February 2008 (UTC)
- Oh, but is there like a minimum or average number people review in a set period of time? How long do the GA Sweeps themselves last for? Cirt (talk) 05:36, 26 February 2008 (UTC)
- Nope, absolutely no set numbers. How long will the Sweeps last for? As long as it takes to sweep those 2808 articles. (We joke around and said it won't be done till 2010.) To be honest with you, this job will never be over. Since GAs get added everyday (at least more than the # being delisted), we're always playing a catch-up game. Up to today, we have 3,587 GAs. Subtract 2808 from 3587 leaves around 700 articles. That means even if we finish the sweeps today, we still have 700 articles that requires sweeping (and from the progress table, it does look like we're finishing this somewhere around 2009 or 2010). When we're finish sweeping in 2009 or 2010, we have to visit those 2808 articles again, in addition to those that aren't swept yet. You can see the complexity and the magnitude of this sweep. Right now I'm playing a time-game, waiting for more editors who are experienced reviewers to sign up as editor on Misplaced Pages, hop onboard and sweep GAs.
- We definitely need more people along the way. So you may ask how come I don't open the sweep to everyone. As you know, anyone can review and classify an article as GA. A lot of these articles fall through the cracks and degraded over time but unnoticed for a few years. Only experienced reviews can join, ensuring that articles won't fall through the cracks again. When I invite you, I place my trust in you that you'll make sound judgements and positively affecting the community because this job could have collateral damage (e.g. affecting Misplaced Pages:Version 1.0 Editorial Team or upsetting users along the way because they think we're delist-happy editors). OhanaUnited 06:37, 26 February 2008 (UTC)
- Well thank you for considering me! But my only question that remains is: Doesn't the idea of the sweeps in some way detract from and/or slow down the amount of reviewing going on at the WP:GAN page itself? Cirt (talk) 06:40, 26 February 2008 (UTC)
- Since there's only 24 hours a day, it does pull some reviewers from GAN to Sweeps once in a while. I don't know about other reviewers, but I myself haven't done much GAN since summer. But hey, there's more people joining wikipedia everyday. So GAN reviewers quickly replenish (at least faster than sweeps) OhanaUnited
- Okay, I'll help out a bit. Now what? Cirt (talk) 18:26, 26 February 2008 (UTC)

Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/Pinning (modelling)
Hi there. I've made a few changes to the Pinning (modelling) article since your !vote on Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/Pinning (modelling) and I just wondered whether you still felt the article needed to be deleted. Cheers. -- JediLofty 09:46, 26 February 2008 (UTC)

Barnstar
Found this along the way in a barnstar check today. Seems right up your alley. Durova 22:16, 26 February 2008 (UTC)

- Hehe, thanks! And there's a few more WikiProjects left that I'd also like to assist... Cirt (talk) 22:25, 26 February 2008 (UTC)
TOTSE
Why did you place TOTSE.png up for deletion? It seems to fit with the fair use rationale given on the page: {{Non-free web screenshot}} --YixilTesiphon Be shallow 05:20, 27 February 2008 (UTC)
- Yes, that is a license tag, not a fair use rationale. Cirt (talk) 05:26, 27 February 2008 (UTC)
Disconnection
Thanks for comments on the Disconnection article. I have attempted to deal with the quotefarm issue. Have I done enough? What other copy editing issues are there? MartinPoulter (talk) 18:20, 27 February 2008 (UTC)
- Thanks for dropping by, I'll take another look and comment at the article talk page. Cirt (talk) 18:21, 27 February 2008 (UTC)
Thank you
I honestly didn't know that barnstar even existed. I just hope I can measure up to it. John Carter (talk) 19:22, 27 February 2008 (UTC)
Treehouse of Horror V PR
I've exspanded the lead as best I can. Buc (talk) 20:51, 27 February 2008 (UTC)

WTF
WTF, Cirt. Do you miss me? Is that why you are fucking with my images? I really think you must miss me. --65.2.75.88 (talk) 03:14, 28 February 2008 (UTC)
