This is a 1 1/2 year effort by the
Puerto Rico WikiProject. I'm proud to say that this Portal is one of the best collections on information relating to Puerto Rico that I've seen, given that most other collections on the internet are in Spanish. Several users have contributed to the Portal, including
Joelito,
Agüeybaná, and
Caribbean H.Q.. Any suggestions on improvement are much welcome. - Mtmelendez(

Support: Nice looking and very informative. I think this portal can be featured as one of the best portals on wikipedia.
Arman Aziz 04:20, 21 September 2007 (UTC)reply
Support — definitely one of the best portals around (and not just because I've edited it :-)). It's also one of the best English-language sources for all things Puerto Rico on the net. It has all of the necessary components; a good color combination, an introduction, and other areas such as the selected articles, pictures and anniversaries, as well as the "In the news..." section, among other things. Good job, Marcos! --Agüeybaná 23:19, 21 September 2007 (UTC)reply
Support Although selected biographies are a little bit short, the overall portal looks good and informative.

No, I agree. I've expanded a few, which greatly improves that section. Thanks for the suggestion! - Mtmelendez(

Comments - A few things. 1) News section contains a few redlinks, this doesn't look too flashy. Create articles or remove links. 2)
Portal:Puerto Rico/Wikimedia looks odd....it may just be me, but I prefer the standard "other wikimedia" template (forget what it's called now) - consider that. When this is done, I'll probably support. Dihydrogen Monoxide (

Redlinks... Done Wikimedia projects template... Not done I actually prefer this one. I'll wait to see what Marcos thinks. --Agüeybaná 03:50, 30 September 2007 (UTC)reply
Support - I don't particularly care either way, just voicing my preference. But yeah, see what Marcos (Mtmelendez?) thinks. Dihydrogen Monoxide (
H2O) 04:15, 30 September 2007 (UTC)reply
I think we should get rid of the red links and leave the names of the articles unlinked, but I will wait for Marcos' response. -

Hey guys. To respond to Dihydrogen's recommendations: (1) Red links aren't always bad, as long as they incite article creation. However, I agree that the red links in the News section were about possibly non-notable subjects, which should've been avoided. So sorry about that. (2) what do you mean the "other template"? Do you mean the
vertical one or the
standard one? - Mtmelendez(

This one (standard), and thanks for finding it. The memory goes when you reach 15 :P (Eddie, first I add an
edit summary directed at you, now it's a :P....what more notification do you need!) Add it if you wish, up to you, I just prefer it. — Dihydrogen Monoxide (

Comments: Can you have more DYK articles linked to the portal, like the
the Cuban Portal. M.(er) 06:02, 30 September 2007 (UTC)reply
Do you mean adding the portalpar template to the articles selected in DYK? We're on it. - Mtmelendez(

Support - although, the free images can be moved to Commons, but that can be done when the FA nom is over.
Mirandargh 20:24, 30 September 2007 (UTC)reply
Completely agree. We have a user who is quite prolific in Commons,
Eddie, who can help us out on that. - Mtmelendez(

Support Very nice portal. Everything has been addressed except one thing. The cquote template has parameters for the quoter and source, please use it. JoeI 18:47, 17 October 2007 (UTC)reply
Forgot, the pics in the selected articles and selected pics should be the same size.
And the credit for selected pics should be moved to directly under the pic instead of under the caption. JoeI 18:51, 17 October 2007 (UTC)reply
You said...
The cquote template has parameters for the quoter and source, please use it. Done
The pics in the selected articles and selected pics should be the same size. (waiting for reply) Done
Are there any particular images which you think are off? I modified a few: most horizontal images are at 350px while vertical ones are at 250px, to maintain consistency.
Selected pics-Ok, didn't realize the vertical/horizontal differences. I can live with that. JoeI 18:50, 22 October 2007 (UTC)reply
I fixed some, expanding the smaller ones and I reduced a few to maintain consistency. How does it look? If there's a caption that seems off, please identify it so I can correct it. Thanks. - Mtmelendez(

As for quotes, I had to eliminate three quotes (which were provided by myself:
8 (deleted version),
9,
10), because I couldn't find the actual source (i.e. the place or moment he said it, once I do I'll include them, but it may be after this FPOC). I did leave the Luis A. Ferre quote (
quote 1) because it is a phrase widely attributed to him by reliable secondary sources, including print newspapers (the best way to find it is to Google search in Spanish language), however I could not identify the moment and place he said it. - Mtmelendez(

Thank you very much. The suggestions you made were for details no one, including myself, had noticed. - Mtmelendez(
