Well, there's the first try at cleaning up. After working up the master portal page with endless <div>s and CSS style definitions, it was clear that tables would be clearer and simpler--and Wiki supports them.
I thought the Popular Front article looked interesting, so I featured that, contributed one of my own pictures to Wikipedia (now freely licensed to all), and pulled together the did you know historical info and some current news items. Hopefully this is a start, adding to Peteris Cedrins' successful efforts to get this project going. Peters 08:08, 14 January 2006 (UTC)
P.S. Stuck the updated inserted dates in the individual files... don't need to muck with the main page unless adding a section or adding a permanent link reference in a box-bottom section Peters 08:18, 14 January 2006 (UTC)
I wasn't thrilled with Romanr's additions to "did you know" and current Latvia life, it seems we want something more positive than a tally of Latvia's inhabitants leaving to pick mushrooms, et al. That said, I did some hunting and did not find anything regarding the EU's specific impact on Latvia. I decided to take the EU statistics and start another section, be it positive or negative, of facts related to Latvia, post EU membership. Peters 02:14, 24 January 2006 (UTC)
Seems the "extra" white border around thumbnails only happens with the default skin. More research than I'm prepared to do! Peters 03:42, 24 January 2006 (UTC)
I have a lot of stuff going on, that said, I've adapted some tools to be able to keep the news items up to date more frequently. Still need some help in featured articles... perhaps we can propose a list and then update every couple of weeks. -- Pēters J. Vecrumba 06:47, 30 June 2006 (UTC)
I think it would be better if this portal had funfacts in "did you know" section as most such sections do - besides the fact that dry statistic is boring, think what message it gives: Before the war Latvia was a great country, now it's also ought to be great, but for some reason even Latvians don't want to live there. ---- Xil/ talk 18:45, 2 March 2007 (UTC)
Career after World War II: commanding operations against nationalist partisans in Lithuania and Latvia.
Any comments from the other side? Xx236 12:01, 9 May 2007 (UTC)
I'm going to make queue which will update portal automaticly - obviously no one has time, desire or whatever to regulary do it manualy. At the moment I've allready have made queue of featured pictures for first 24 weeks of the year (all pictures are either from commons or from previous updates, by the way). Just so you know in which direction to throw rocks if you have troubles with this ---- Xil/ talk 01:54, 20 May 2007 (UTC)
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)
