I'm from the hebrew wikipedia but i saw that there's a failed interwiki to the indonesian wikipedia. ישרון (talk) 19:13, 12 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for pointing that out (the London Portal on id:wikipedia seems to have been deleted). I can't find (and thus can't remove) the interlanguage link though. It must be tucked away in one of the templates. Hopefully someone more savvy can locate and fix it. ---Sluzzelintalk 19:28, 12 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I need help finding resources, copyediting, expanding, improving, finding sources and saving dudesnude which is based out of London.Hemanetwork (talk) 13:42, 24 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
RIP Kbthompson (talk·contribs), but this portal needs serious updating. I'm not familiar with London or its topics, or I would do it myself. /ƒETCHCOMMS/ 21:22, 22 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
My condolences to Kbthompson's family. Might it be an idea to revive this portal along the lines of other portals where showcase content is selected at random from a list, rather than rotated every month? There are enought featured articles and pictures to do with London for the "showcase" articles, pictures and biography all to be featured content; my suggestions are below.
The project was rebooted and completely overhauled on April 17th, 2018. Its goals are to revitalize the entire portal system, make building and maintaining portals easier, support the ongoing improvement of portals and the editors dedicated to this, and design the portals of the future.
As of May 2nd, 2018, membership is at 60 editors, and growing. You are welcome to join us.
As the recognised contents section had not been revised since November 2018, I have automated it to use the User:JL-Bot/Project content bot. This will automatically curate the Featured Articles, Featured Lists and Good Articles lists once a week as required. Manual editing is not required.
The Featured Article list has 37 more items and the Good Articles list has 227 more items. The Featured Lists list appears for the first time with 31 items.--DavidCane (talk) 23:26, 9 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
