I've been working on this portal for a little while and now would like some comments / criticism on how it's looking. I would like to try and get it to Featured Portal status at some point, so any advice welcome. In particular, I'm a little worried about Featured Portal criterion 1a: "It showcases only high-quality content that is preferably already featured." Sadly, there are not many FA or even GA Tanzania articles at the moment, so I'm wondering if that will stop this portal getting featured. Beloved Freak 16:27, 26 March 2010 (UTC)

I thought it has reached a very good standard and therefore should be nominated for featured portal status. Extra999 ( Contact me + contribs) 16:19, 26 March 2010 (UTC)

Completely reworked this over the last week, and think it's looking pretty cool now. I have kept and reworked some of what was there before, but removed most of it. I hope to take this to FPOC soon, so any and all comments are welcome and appreciated. J Milburn ( talk) 18:14, 8 February 2010 (UTC)
Comment. I love the idea of including selected mountain & selected lake (just wish Cheshire had a few mountains to select!). I agree with Nev1 that until the Cumbrian project gets going, it would be better to select interesting B class articles than to stick just to Good & Featured content. I wondered why Lake District wasn't included, though I see it's deteriorated since I last read it. If you want some Cumbrian biographies, what about A.W. Wainwright, Arthur Ransome & Wordsworth or others of the Lake Poets? I'd suggest starting a DYK section with facts that have been featured on the main page -- and if you're short of those, you can always cheat & write some yourself! You could start a quotations section -- there must be lots of famous poetry, if nothing else. You could also rename the current selected images section as selected panorama, and start a separate selected images box -- there must be lots of beautiful images. Now I'm feeling guilty that my sole Cumbrian article is a stub... Hope this is of use, Espresso Addict ( talk) 09:02, 12 May 2010 (UTC)
