Self-nomination. I have done a lot of work on Portal:Japan, and with the help of a couple of other editors, I think the portal is ready for a nomination. It currently has 37 selected articles (comprised of FAs, As and GAs) and 33 selected pictures (comprised of all of the Japan-related FP as well as many other great Japan pictures). Both of these are rotated randomly on the main page. The news section is automated by the bot. The DYK section is manually update with the featured Japan-related DYK articles and hooks that are featured on Wikipedia's main page. There is no selected biography component because there are only a few articles of a high enough quality that could fill the section, and those articles are very homogeneous. I would like there to be a quote section, but I cannot find a good reliable source of Japanese quotes, as WikiQuote is very, very limited and, again, homogeneous.
The geography tab is rather stagnant and very little updating is necessary. The one rotating component there is a Featured Prefecture section that is currently rotated by week. The projects tab features the Things-to-do component as well as a bit about WikiProject Japan and related projects and task forces. -- Torsodog Talk 23:11, 26 August 2008 (UTC) reply
