Featured Portals in Wikipedia A featured portal is a portal which is regarded by the community as being an example of Wikipedia's finest work. This page is where featured portal candidates are considered by the community against the featured portal criteria. Nominators are expected to make an effort to address objections. A portal should not be a featured portal candidate and at the same time be listed at portal peer review. Users are asked not to add a second nomination here until the first has gained support and concerns have been substantially addressed. Do not split a nomination page into subsections, which will cause problems in its archiving (if necessary, use bolded headings). Please respond positively to constructive criticism. For a nomination to be promoted to featured portal status, consensus must be reached that it meets the criteria. Consensus is built among the reviewers and nominators. If, after sufficient time, objections considered actionable have not been resolved or consensus for promotion has not been reached, a nomination will be removed from the list and archived. Consensus may be determined by any editor in good standing who is not materially involved in the portal's development or maintenance, or in any related WikiProjects. The process is overseen by the Featured Portal directors Cirt and OhanaUnited. A bot will update the portal talk page after the portal is promoted or the nomination archived; the delay in bot processing can range from minutes to several days, and the {{FPOC}} template should remain on the talk page until the bot updates {{ArticleHistory}}. If a nomination is archived, the nominator should take adequate time to work on resolving issues before re-nominating—typically at least a few weeks. At present, there are 171 featured portals, of a total of 1461 portals on Wikipedia. |

Nominations[edit]
Portal:California Roads[edit]
I believe this portal meets the featured portal criteria. There are about 300 articles represented in this topic, and there is a selection of 31 selected articles (all FAs or GAs), 16 selected pictures, and 17 DYKs. --Rschen7754 01:26, 6 March 2016 (UTC)
- Comment - Portal has a wide selection of high-quality selected articles that are GA or better, and multiple pictures and DYK hooks that change every time the portal is refreshed. The only nitpick I have is that the pictures for the SA should be right-aligned. After that's fixed, I'm willing to support. Dough4872 05:14, 6 March 2016 (UTC)
Portal:Linguistics[edit]
Worked to bring the portal back to an acceptable status and it seems to fit the featured portal standards. The topic is broad as it covers an entire academic field that has a large amount of quality content. I have queued content for the next three months and will continue to add more as time goes on.

- There are many pages related to this portal that are not categorized under Category:Linguistics portal; such as Portal:Linguistics/Featured phone/January 2016, Portal:Linguistics/Featured article/January 2016 and tons of others. Such uncategorized pages are difficult to track.
- How many featured article, featured phones and sets of DYKs are included in the portal? The numbers might help reviewers in gauging.
-
- The features are manually selected and included rather than being chosen from a list. Features are currently queued for three months. The Linguistics WikiProject lists 42 articles at or above GA quality and 258 at B class. Wugapodes (talk) 16:43, 14 January 2016 (UTC)
- Are all featured articles actually featured? Means how many of those are FAs, GAs or what classes are they?
-
- I have changed the wording from "featured" to "selected" as not all articles selected are "featured articles". Selected articles are required to be at least B-class to ensure quality but also allow a larger pool of content for nominators to choose from. Preference is given to articles GA and above. The phones are selected without regard to quality of the article as it is the phone that is being selected rather than the article. Wugapodes (talk) 16:43, 14 January 2016 (UTC)
