- Notified: Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Visual arts, Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Philosophy, Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Public art, and Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Arts. — Cirt (talk) 07:03, 22 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- I refreshed the page several times, and there is always a big blank spot in the right column just opposite (and slighter bigger than) the "News" section on the left. Is there any way to balance the columns so there either isn't a blank space or so it isn't so large? --Philosopher Let us reason together. 07:22, 22 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Depends on the browser you are using. In some browsers, the Categories subsection is one column, not two, and so actually that is the longer column. It's really only a small bit of relative space. — Cirt (talk) 07:25, 22 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

- I recommend scrapping the news section, it's woefully out of date, and there is no way of making sure that it constantly remains in date. Also, I'm not sure about having the picture up in the top right corner (Self Portrait with Two Circles, Apollo, etc.), it unbalances that top section, and really dosen't add much.

- I prefer the 80px "icon" of Apollo in the intro section (as seen here; full disclosure: I came up with it) to the rotating images. The other portals linked to on the front page have a single, non-rotating icon. Apollo was my best attempt at summing up "the arts" in a single image, and I think the engraving makes for a nice contrast with what you have on other portals. Otherwise, really glad to see the portal getting the attention it sorely needed! Ham 10:11, 27 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Update: News is a bit more recent. ;) — Cirt (talk) 10:26, 1 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- I'm sorry, but no, it's not. There's one story from this month and none from last month. I'm fine using a Wikinews feed if they can churn out news, but it's quite obvious that they're struggling to do so. Please remove the section until such a time as Wikinews can provide at least three or four stories a month, several months in a row. Sven Manguard Wha? 10:21, 5 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
