Nice start. Might I suggest incorporating some non-Western poetic topics? Some good articles to look at include Du Fu, the Shahnama, and some of the pages relating to the Vedas and Vedic meter. A corner focused on linguistic topics (e.g., tonal languages) would also be nice. Sam 18:00, 8 June 2006 (UTC)
I'm not sure if the white text on a pale blue background for the box headers 'works' ... not quite enough contrast on my laptop's LCD at any rate. Any suggestions? I can play around with this a bit if you like. Stumps 13:01, 9 June 2006 (UTC)
Possibly we could add a 'news' section ... in some portals they tend to get out of date, but it's also a great incentive to add 'current' material. Suggestions:
Any thoughts? Stumps 13:08, 9 June 2006 (UTC)
I added a "language corner box, for articles focusing on how language is used, and shifted the categories box to the left and added the "lists of poets" boxes. I also started cyclying through quotes and did you knows, subtracting one from the top and adding one to the bottom in each case. Feel free to change, replace, whatever. I also changed the color on the templates to match the blue on these headings - the contrast was bugging me. Sam 11:54, 11 June 2006 (UTC)
I kicked in a new image to surpise everyone. Do we want to get changes on a regular schedule, or are surprises more fun? Sam 00:30, 15 June 2006 (UTC)
I'm just surfing around until my next taxi mom duty and I stumbled onto here thinking I'd share my fav poetic terms link-

Thanks kayte
I'm going to update the portal, including the featured articles, pictures, poems, etc. on THURSDAY. I could not find any other discussion or medium for discussion on this matter, so please let me know if anyone else already decided on this. AdamBiswanger1 03:41, 21 June 2006 (UTC)
The full to-do list is:
I guess as we mature we might want to introduce a 'candidate' system so we can collaborate on licking things into shape. Stumps 13:17, 21 June 2006 (UTC)
So I trust this is how we set up August, for the monthlies:
I'm putting Caedmon in for Biography. Stumps, do you know how to set up weekly? Sam 16:52, 25 June 2006 (UTC)
Now we can easily work ahead of time. Stumps 10:39, 26 June 2006 (UTC)
Did we agree on weekly for just: Quotes, Poem, and Did You Know? I can have a go at setting this up. Stumps 10:03, 26 June 2006 (UTC)
I suggest we use the talk page for each of the archives to discuss candidates. For example, I've put a suggestion on Portal talk:Poetry/Selected biography archive. Stumps 10:28, 27 June 2006 (UTC)
I shifted some things around to relieve overcrowding, and made the boxes split 55/44 instead of 60/39. I put the categories on the bottom. If anyone doesn't like it, let me know, and I'll return it or make other changes. Thanks, Sam 18:59, 5 July 2006 (UTC)
Almost all of those "Associated WikiMedia" icons on the bottom go nowhere (no Poetry on WikiNews etc.). Can we just delete them or is it standard form to have them? Sam 20:58, 5 July 2006 (UTC)
Our quote for the first couple days of the week was a redlink; I put in a quote for this week and put the same one in for the next several weeks, just so it won't go red again. If anyone has a chance to come up with some, we could use them.
Stumps, nice poem this week. Sam 00:20, 21 July 2006 (UTC)
Could someone look at G. Onimira Farley and either expand on this person's notability or {{ prod}} the article? Thanks. - Harmil 02:02, 6 August 2006 (UTC)
