Merge into project discussion?
The portal seems to be directly related to the wikiproject page. Wouldn't it make sense to merge the two discussions, so no one would be confused about where to look for possible announcements? --

I don't know. I was kind of asking the question to anyone who might know ;)

Selected Article
How, and how often, are Selected Articles chosen? I would like to get involved in helping to decide on them. --

Currently i just choose one about once a month, what i was just doing right now was going through and making a list of candidate ones which i would set to change every month automatically.
The list i have made is quite long as it is, as i have simply chosen articles which would be long enough to deserve mention as a selected article, these are:
If you want to add your comments about these, or add any more then please do so, it would be useful to have someone else to help decide these things.
I was also going to do the same sort of thisg with the selected picture as well and have made a list of candidates of them too. --

Ah, interesting. That's a good list. I think the next selected article should be
Orca. It's comprehensive, featured, and deserves some time in the limelight. I'll comment if I have further suggestions. --

That's the one i was thinking of actually, strange. I was also going to choose about 3 or 4 maybe so that i can set up the next few months worth now. So, if you have any suggestions... I think
whale song and
bottlenose dolphin are quite good and comprehensive articles, with bottlenose dolphin being a 'good' article. --
chris_huh 09:25, 14 August 2006 (UTC)reply
Yes, I like those, too. --
Gray Porpoise 13:05, 14 August 2006 (UTC)reply
Just to let you know, i have set up the next selected article and selected picture. They will now automatically change every month. Because of this
Dolphinarium will remain as the selected article for the next two weeks until the end of August. --

Just thought i would put this in here so that we could decide on what ones we should have as the next few months worth. As
Gray Porpoise said i think the next one should be
Humpback Whale (sorry i didn't see you had put that there, which is why it seemed i ignored that request for months). There are plenty to choose from and not really much of a rush to get them decided.
