== One of your project's articles has been selected for improvement! ==
== 8 pagan festivals info ==
 
Hello everybody! I see some pagan holidays included in the article and was so happy. So here I can tell you about all 8 pagan holidays and you can put them into the list if you want to. Pagans generally start their year at Nov 1, but I'll use the regular way, Jan 1st. Many pagans are polytheist, but I've left the gods out because there are so many.
Imbolc - Feb 1st. This day celebrates the promise that spring will come. The lengthening days become noticeable, snowdrops (bulb plantings) emerge, and ewes begin to give milk, in anticipation of lambing soon.
Spring Equinox (sometimes called Ostara) - about March 21st. This day celebrates the equal day/night, and marks the turning into the "light half" of the year where daylight hours exceed hours of dark. Beltaine - May 1st. This day celebrates literally "the birds and the bees", but also any act of creation (children generally celebrate through the arts). A sacred union of the sun and the earth ensures a good harvest. Planting takes place in earnest.
Summer Solstice (sometimes called Midsummer) - about June 21st. This day celebrates the Triumph of light. The longest day, with the (bittersweet) realization that days will now grow shorter.
Lammas - Aug 1st. This day celebrates the first harvest. It is also sometimes called Loaf-mass, and celebrates the start of reaping. The shortening days become noticeable, and preparations for winter's scarcity become important.
Autumn Equinox - about Sept 21st. This day celebrates equal day/night as well as the height of harvest. All around is abundance from the earth. It also marks the turning point from the light half to the dark half of the year, hours of dark exceed hours of daylight.
Samhain - Oct 31/Nov 1st. This day marks the "pagan new year" as pagans generally mark time as beginning at sunset with Nov 1st the shortening days are very noticeable, and would be "sunset" on an annual scale. Many pagans celebrate ancestors or their dead at this time of year It is the last harvest.
Winter Solstice - about Dec 21st. This day celebrates the longest night, the triumph of the dark, but with the (happy) realization that days will now begin to lengthen. Commonly celebrated as the "rebirth of the Sun"
Thank-you everybody for the time you took to read this.

== Rename "Summer holidays" / "Winter holidays " ==
 
== Project-independent quality assessments ==
[[File:Surface air temperature global.jpg|thumb|350px|right]]
:{{ping|Michael Bednarek}} and others--
:[https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Category:Christmas&diff=next&oldid=779556208 Here] Bednarek argues that [[Christmas]] that is both a [[:Category:Summer holidays]] and [[:Category:Winter holidays]] -- and thus adds it to both-- because December is Summer in the Southern Hemisphere.
:While this is sound logic-- and could be done with any international holiday of this sort-- and would make the Category much less useful (and the two nearly the same).
:I propose we rename them [[:Category:December to February holidays]] and [[:Category:June to August holidays]]. '''[[User:Tahc|tahc]]''' '''<sup>[[User talk:Tahc|chat]]</sup>''' 20:04, 10 May 2017 (UTC)
 
Quality assessments by Wikipedia editors rate articles in terms of completeness, organization, prose quality, sourcing, etc. Most wikiprojects follow the general guidelines at [[Wikipedia:Content assessment]], but some have specialized assessment guidelines. A recent [[WP:Village pump (proposals)/Archive_198#Project-independent_quality_assessments|Village pump proposal]] was approved and has been implemented to add a {{para|class}} parameter to {{tl|WikiProject banner shell}}, which can display a general quality assessment for an article, and to let project banner templates "inherit" this assessment.

No action is required if your wikiproject follows the standard assessment approach. Over time, quality assessments will be migrated up to {{tl|WikiProject banner shell}}, and your project banner will automatically "inherit" any changes to the general assessments for the purpose of assigning categories.
== WikiProject collaboration notice from the [[WP:WPPORT|Portals WikiProject]] ==
 
However, if your project has decided to "opt out" and follow a non-standard quality assessment approach, all you have to do is modify your wikiproject banner template to pass {{tl|WPBannerMeta}} a new {{para|QUALITY_CRITERIA|custom}} parameter. If this is done, changes to the general quality assessment will be ignored, and your project-level assessment will be displayed and used to create categories, as at present. [[User:Aymatth2|Aymatth2]] ([[User talk:Aymatth2|talk]]) 14:38, 11 April 2023 (UTC)
The reason I am contacting you is because there are one or more portals that fall under this subject, and the Portals WikiProject is currently undertaking a major drive to automate portals that may affect them.
 
== Unity Day (United States) Article needs a little love. ==
Portals are being redesigned.
 
The Unity Day (United States) article needs a little love. The article is a mess, the history section is reversed, the article reads like an advertisement, there are external links in the body of the article, it is overly specific and niche, and there is a myriad of other problems as well. I am a new editor on Wikipedia and don't yet have the tool set or skills to fully fix the article, so I am asking for this community's help to try and improve the passage. [[User:MadManJackHasABigSword|MadManJackHasABigSword]] ([[User talk:MadManJackHasABigSword|talk]]) 16:18, 1 December 2023 (UTC)
The new design features are being applied to existing portals.
 
== Family Day celebrations. ==
At present, we are gearing up for a maintenance pass of portals in which the introduction section will be upgraded to no longer need a subpage. In place of static copied and pasted excerpts will be self-updating excerpts displayed through selective transclusion, using the template {{tl|Transclude lead excerpt}}.
 
Sister day on the first Sunday in August, as well as Brother’s day celebrated on May 24th need to be added. [[User:Jackaloupe52|Jackaloupe52]] ([[User talk:Jackaloupe52|talk]]) 05:30, 28 April 2024 (UTC)
The discussion about this can be found '''[[Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Portals#AWB_team_please_tackle_maintenance_run_on_intro_sections|here]]'''.
 
== Requested move at [[Talk:Pão-por-Deus#Requested move 30 May 2024]] ==
Maintainers of specific portals are encouraged to sign up as project members '''[[Wikipedia:WikiProject_Portals#Specific_portal_maintainers|here]]''', noting the portals they maintain, so that those portals are skipped by the maintenance pass. Currently, we are interested in upgrading neglected and abandoned portals. There will be opportunity for maintained portals to opt-in later, or the portal maintainers can handle upgrading (the portals they maintain) personally at any time.
[[File:Information.svg|30px|left]] There is a requested move discussion at [[Talk:Pão-por-Deus#Requested move 30 May 2024]] that may be of interest to members of this WikiProject. [[User:RodRabelo7|RodRabelo7]] ([[User talk:RodRabelo7|talk]]) 13:23, 30 May 2024 (UTC)
 
=== Background ===
 
On April 8th, 2018, an [[Wikipedia:Village pump (proposals)/RfC: Ending the system of portals|RfC ("Request for comment") proposal was made to eliminate all portals and the portal namespace]]. On April 17th, the Portals WikiProject was rebooted to handle the revitalization of the portal system. On May 12th, the RfC was closed with the result to keep portals, by a margin of about 2 to 1 in favor of keeping portals.
 
There's an [[Wikipedia:Wikipedia Signpost/2018-05-24/WikiProject report|article in the current edition of the Signpost interviewing project members about the RfC and the Portals WikiProject]].
 
Since the reboot, the Portals WikiProject has been busy building tools and components to upgrade portals.
 
So far, 84 editors have joined.
 
If you would like to keep abreast of what is happening with portals, see the [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Portals/Newsletter archive|newsletter archive]].
 
If you have any questions about what is happening with portals or the Portals WikiProject, please post them on the [[WT:WPPORT|WikiProject's talk page]].
 
Thank you. <span class="nowrap">&nbsp;&nbsp; &mdash; ''[[User talk:The Transhumanist|The&nbsp;Transhumanist]]''&nbsp;&nbsp; </span> 07:41, 30 May 2018 (UTC)
