I've made a right hash of this. Having a lot of trouble understanding how to limit the widths of different boxes. Help! Stu ’Bout ye! 14:37, 7 March 2006 (UTC)
Anyone know why the word edit on the top bar of the main portal box hangs halfway outside the title bar? -- Mal 07:34, 9 March 2006 (UTC)
Nice portal. Hopefully i'll contribute something when I can think of what to do! -- al 22 March 2006
I think its time to change the featured bio. I've already changed the featured article from Van Morrison to Giant's Causeway.
Please list your nominations here, and vote for each one using the hash key and signature. Bear in mind though that any bio article nominated should be of reasonably good standard. -- Mal 17:29, 23 April 2006 (UTC)
I noticed that the Selected x tables don't seem to change very often - perhaps they should change to 'Selected x of the week/fortnight' with I don't know - nominees to fill their spots/voting/occasional favoured NI pasttime (riots), etc. -- Dom0803 14:15, 4 July 2006 (UTC)
This portal is exceedingly garish, far too much to have any air of professionalism about it. Softer tones would be so very much better. This point was raised when the portal was up for Featured Portal status. It might be an idea to change the colours. -- Bob 23:51, 2 August 2006 (UTC)
The topics section has been changed - could we change the rest to follow suit? NotMuchToSay 21:04, 16 September 2006 (UTC)
Highly POV and unofficial flag... I see no good reasons for an unofficial, highly POV (and offensive) flag to be on this page just because it is describe in passing. Portals are not immune from meating a NPOV. SCVirus 05:51, 29 September 2006 (UTC)
Strongly disagree. The Northern Ireland portal intro is much longer than those of neighbouring countries and regions, and the statue of Saint Patrick on Slieve Donard is a more suitable symbol. I will shorten the intro by removing the flags. A similar issue was heavily discussed at Talk:Northern Ireland/Archive03; no consensus except exhaustion was achieved; and I think a happier conclusion can be reached here. -- Hroðulf (or Hrothulf) ( Talk) 09:02, 3 October 2006 (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 07:40, 2 May 2018 (UTC)

The following is a list of articles presently being used in Portal:Northern Ireland. Article content is transcluded directly from articles using the {{ Transclude random excerpt}} template. The use of transclusion provides WP:READERS with up-to-date, verbatim content to that which is in articles. This prevents content in the portal from becoming outdated, because when articles are updated, that same updated content is automatically presented in the portal.
Articles were added relative to WP:POG, where it states, "For the Selected article, Selected biography or other Selected content items, find a good number of articles, as many as you can, that could be showcased on the portal" that are "of high quality, either a featured article, a good article or one which deals with its subject substantially or comprehensively" ( Permanent link). While WP:POG is no longer a guideline page, many portals are still based upon it, and it is common sense to use high-quality, comprehensive articles in portals.
Any comments regarding these article selections can be posted here, as can ideas for more articles to add to the portal, as well as potential notions of replacing some articles in this list with different entries if anyone feels this would be useful. North America 1000 02:46, 15 November 2019 (UTC)
