Improperly maintained portal that violates WP:POG.

there is no requirement that portals need FA, FL, GA or A class articles to be sustainable" – Yes there is. ToThAc (talk) 19:16, 18 September 2019 (UTC)
planning on expanding the portal periodically, etc, as if you were the maintainer.
If users don't like some of the article entries, they can be easily changed... which is basically saying that you want other editors to follow you around as you do these driveby "updates", and then challenge you on the very very basic issues which a very modest amount of checking would have avoided in the first place. That's very bad conduct, and prolific editors who require a full-time cleanup crew behind them eventually find themselves exhausting the community's patience. If you really insist on doing these driveby makeovers of portals on topics where you have no experience or expertise and where the WikiPrroject is not active ... then for God's sake would you slow down and do some of the very basic checks?
Portal further updated / expanded with new selection(s). It would have been spectacularly easy for you to simply write "add Kakum National Park + Cape Coast", creating links for others to assess. After 8 years as an editor, it's astonishing that you either haven't figured that very basic aspect of working collaboratively, or couldn't be bothered communicating what you are actually doing.

At its inception, WP:POG never received actual formal discussion to be enacted as a real English Wikipedia guideline page. Instead, label Wikipedia:Portal/Guidelines as an information page using the ((information page)) template. There are many reasons why.

Additions to the portal are easily discerned by clicking on "edit this page" and noting the article additions that were performedis utterly extraordinary: the whole purposes of edit summaries is so that other editors don't have to view diffs or view up the page or the edit window to get a good picture of what was done. How hard is it for you paste the title of the page added into an edit summary? It takes me literally about five seconds to type the ten characters in "<tab><end>add [[<ctrl-V>]]"
function in a collegial, positive manner, heaven help us. I set out above two simple suggestions for how you could work on portals in a
collegial, positive manner, and you just dismissed them both. Make up your mind: do you want to be collegial, or not?
