Recommendations to improve page to featured portal status

These below tasks are to improve the portal, hopefully to get it to Featured portal status. For tasks related to improving wikipedia's free software articles, see Portal:Free software/Contribute.

  1. Add images to the portal, but no "fair use" images, they're not allowed on portals (they're only allowed on articles). Suggestions are at #All images removed - advice sought
  2. Replace the "selected articles" box with something that includes selected articles plus news. Suggestions are at #Add "news" and fold in "selected article"
  3. Add references to History of free software - since it's linked to from the portal intro

Freeorion

FreeOrion was created and deleted already multiple times (https://en.wikipedia.org/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/FreeOrion), yet, I think with at least 700,000 downloads and broad recpetion it should have an article. Shaddim (talk) 15:43, 27 May 2017 (UTC)

Logo is missed

The logo was used for this portal is missed, I don't know how to import it, the logo is this:

commons:File:Free and open-source software logo (2009).svg

Editor-1 (talk) 13:21, 28 May 2017 (UTC)

Sorry, maybe I misunderstand your questino but we can use material from the commons just fine:  ?!? Shaddim (talk) 23:23, 28 May 2017 (UTC)

No, the logo must be appears within the articles, see: GNOME#See also

Editor-1 (talk) 05:54, 29 May 2017 (UTC)

But the problem is not resolved, it seems the portal main page is not sync with Portal:Free and open-source software/Introduction. Editor-1 (talk) 06:19, 29 May 2017 (UTC)

Notice from the Portals WikiProject

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   07:30, 2 May 2018 (UTC)
