[edit] Snowy COTW from WPOR
Hello again from WP:ORE. Please note the Collaboration of the Week is running two hours late, no morning kindergarten, and routers are on snow routes. Thank you to those who helped improve Oregon, we are inching towards GA quality. This week we have another High importance Stub in our official state insect (who knew?) with the Oregon Swallowtail, and then a new article I came across, Biglow Canyon Wind Farm. Help if you can get out of the snow. Once again, to opt out or suggest future collaborative efforts, click here. Good day! Aboutmovies (talk) 16:07, 28 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] WikiMapia template
As far as I am concerned they are redundant. Yesterday when I was making an edit I noticed the template wasn't working so i looked at the template and saw this. I assumed that the edit was good and started to remove the template from articles. Today when I restarted I had done about 90 when I noticed the template was working again and saw this. After looking at User talk:BrownHairedGirl#Coordinates, Wikipedia talk:External links#Links to map services and Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents#BrownHairedGirl involved in tendentious and disruptive editing and leaving her a message I decided that the issue was not as clear cut as I had first thought. So I am restoring the map links and then if later a consensus to remove them becomes clear a bot can do it. Unfortunately I can't just roll them all back because there were other valid edits made as well. But personally, I don't care if the links to WikiMapia are removed and will not restore them a second time should someone else remove them.

[edit] Chinook Sumburgh
Just realised we must have created articles at the same time!! Sorry about that I did all the usual searches then created the new article. All help appreciated (particularly as I had the fatality figures wrong from the earlier CAA Report!!), a neglected subject which we have put right. Thanks.

[edit] Tom Peterson says it time for Oregon COTW
Wake up! Wake up to a happy day! Says Tom Peterson. Greetings to the gang at WP:ORE, its time for another round of Collaboration of the Week. Last week was a very successful endeavor with great improvement to Oregon Swallowtail and Deuce Biglow Canyon Wind Farm. OK, so there’s no “e” but it makes me laugh. The Biglow production was so successful we got our first DYK out of it. So, let’s try for a second with the tallest building in the state, the Wells Fargo Center. Then by request we have the former governor (among other things) Neil Goldschmidt. Again, to opt out or suggest future collaborative efforts, visit here.

[edit] Wikipedia:WikiProject Aircraft/Participants
Nice to see you on the list for the aircraft project! It certainly has been busy on Silver State Helicopters, at least until the blocks took effect! - Ahunt (talk) 22:12, 6 February 2008 (UTC)
- Yeah I have been watching it since you posted that note - it certainly needed some watching and fixing up! Can't wait for the blocks to come off tomorrow! I suspect those two IP addresses were the same guy on two different PCs. Maybe he will find a third PC later on tonight! - Ahunt (talk) 22:23, 6 February 2008 (UTC)
[edit] External link on Helitack
Thanks for reverting that external link! He left a note on my talk page about it admitting that it is his own website that he is trying to link to. I responded to him on his own talk page in case you want to see what I wrote. Let's see what his response is next! - Ahunt (talk) 14:40, 13 February 2008 (UTC)
[edit] An article which you started, or significantly expanded, West Coast Airlines Flight 956, was selected for DYK!
 |
On February 16, 2008, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article West Coast Airlines Flight 956, which you created or substantially expanded. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page. |
Thanks for your contributions! Nishkid (talk) 20:15, 16 February 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Clown COTW
Greetings once again to members of the best encyclopedia online about Oregon (aka WP:ORE)! Last week we improved Neil Goldschmidt to close to GA level, and moved the Wells Fargo Center from Stub to Start for the Collaboration of the Week. This week we’re clowning around with some bozo from Oregon, Pinto Colvig, and then in an attempt to garner another DYK, the rather stubby Cooper Spur. As always, any contribution is appreciated, and to opt out of these messages visit here.
As we have quite a few new members over the last six months, I’ll make another pitch for our various subprojects. Listed here, you will find a variety of groups focused on specific areas of Oregon from transportation to culture. Not only can you sign up and coordinate work there, but each often has useful sources and templates related to that topic. No pressure, just an introduction to those new to the project. Adios.

[edit] Our weekly COTW message from WPOR
Welcome to another wonderful world of WP:ORE COTW. Thanks again to those who lent a hand improving Pinto Colvig and Cooper Spur ski area this past week or so. This week we return to the High importance Stubs, with the mighty Seal of Oregon and former governor and legal superstar Sylvester Pennoyer. To opt out of these messages, or suggest an article, swing by here. Or to stop receiving any WPORE messages just remove your name from the list of members at WP:ORE. Auf Wiedersehen.

[edit] Old Buildings and Pictures
Greetings from WP:WikiProject Oregon. Blah blah blah. This week we have our semi-annual Picture Drive and a article creation drive for the NRHP List. For the picture drive, go take a picture, or find a free use one (lots of links to gov sites above) and upload it Wikipedia. For the National Register of Historic Places, find a red link on the main Oregon list or one of the county lists at start a new article. If its more than just a stub, don’t forget to nominate it for a DYK! Once again, to opt out or suggest future collaborative efforts, click here. Aboutmovies (talk) 20:00, 7 March 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Links to disambiguation pages
Hello. I noticed you reverted this edit. Links to disambiguation pages are supposed to have the "disambiguation" suffix so that they sort separately when one clicks "What links here". See Wikipedia:Disambiguation#Links to disambiguation pages. Thanks. Khatru2 (talk) 22:09, 13 March 2008 (UTC)
- Seems to me that the Albany page should be moved to [[Albany (disambiguation)]]. Seems rather redundent. --Trashbag (talk) 22:15, 13 March 2008 (UTC)
[edit] March 14 OR COTW
Hello again or welcome if you are new to WP:WikiProject Oregon! Last week we did a picture drive and a NRHP creation drive. It’s hard to track the picture results, but I know I saw quite a few pictures added, so great job. With NRHP we added 7 that I saw: Mitchell Recreation Area, Salem First United Methodist Church, Portland City Hall, Crater Lake Lodge, Central Library (Portland, Oregon), Watchman Lookout Station, and Alvin T. Smith House; with most now nominated for DYK’s! So great work everybody.
This week, its back to stubs with one of the largest newspapers in the state, The Register-Guard, and a request with Oregon Coast. Feel free to help with either one, and the paper article is so short a DYK should be pretty easy to get (just need 5X expansion).

[edit] Vera Katz and History
Howdy folks, its time for another installment of WikiProject Oregon’s Collaboration of the Week! Last week we made some improvements to the Oregon Coast and brought The Register-Guard up to B class while garnering a DYK! Great job to those who lent a hand. This week we finish up the High priority Stubs with former mayor and Speaker of the House, Vera Katz, which is pretty much a Start class now and could easily get to B class. We also have History of Oregon by request. Help out if you can, where you can. As always, to opt out, opt in, or suggest future collaborative efforts, click here. Aboutmovies (talk) 07:40, 25 March 2008 (UTC)
[edit] The Dalles and Albany airports
All your points regarding The Dalles Airport are excellent and well taken. However, the inclusion of DLS on the Oregon list leaves an ambiguity that should be resolved. My suggestion is to repeat most of the things you said on my talk page in a footnote on the List of airports in Oregon article. I'll go ahead and implement this suggestion, and please let me know what you think of it.
On a separate topic, can you shed any light on the specific historical reasons that the Albany Municipal Airport was listed on the National Register of Historic Places? I may be in a position to take some pictures tomorrow, and I'd like to be able to capture some of the historical nature of it as well as general airfield ops.
Thanks! Ipoellet (talk) 18:48, 29 March 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Elected Oregon
Hello fellow WikiProject Oregon folks and entities. Thanks to those who helped out with improving Vera Katz and History of Oregon during the last Collaboration of the Week! As you may have noticed, we have changed the banners a bit, but not our dedication to everything Oregon! This week, in honor of the political process, we have: Current Oregon Senate members & Current Oregon House members. Hopefully by November we can have an article on every current member of the Oregon Legislature. So feel free to turn a red link blue or expand an existing article. Since it is an election year, there should be plenty of newspaper stories. Plus, the state archives has this site that allows you to go back and see when they started serving and district info, plus at a minimum show they were a state legislator from a WP:RS. And per WP:BIO, all state legislator's are notable so no need to worry about AFD. As always, to opt out, opt in, or suggest future collaborative efforts, click here.

[edit] Juxtaposition COTW
Howdy Ho WikiProject Oregon! Time for another installment of Collaboration of the Week. The last few weeks we’ve knocked out quite a few articles of our current state legislators, and even a few former ones too. Great job to all those who helped make it happen. On a related note, we have had several DYKs from this and now have 53 DYKs so far this year (not counting multiples), less than four full months into the year. Last year we had a total of 83 DYKs for the entire year, and 7 combined for 2006 & 2005. So we are well on our way to another record year. Each time an article makes it to the main page as a DYK it will typically get an extra 1000 hits, which is usually far more than the typical 100 hits per month most minor articles receive. With that said, this week we have two requests, Portland Lumberjax and Silicon Forest. As always, to opt out, opt in, or suggest future collaborative efforts, click here.

[edit] Los Angeles Airways Flight 417
Sorry it took so long. You were correct that the article was more than a Stub. It is now rated Start-Class and the B-Class checklist is partially completed. I will get to it when I have more time, or you can request another assessment or ask another editor in the project to assess it. --Born2flie (talk) 07:11, 24 April 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Cinco de COTW
Greetings once again from the Collaboration of the Week at WikiProject Oregon. Thank you to those who helped out with the last set of articles. This week we have the lone Stub class article left in the Top importance classification, Flag of Oregon, and by request, Detroit Lake. Help where you can, if you can. To opt out of these messages, leave your name here. Adios. Aboutmovies (talk) 22:08, 5 May 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Zzzz Oregon COTW
Howdy ya’ll, time for another Collaboration of the Week from WikiProject Oregon. Last week we improved Flag of Oregon & Detroit Lake, enough I think to move them to Start class, so great job everyone! This week, we have another request in Oregon Ballot Measure 47 and a randomly selected two sentence stub that should be easy to expand enough for a DYK in Wallowa-Whitman National Forest. To opt out of these messages, leave your name here, or click here to make a suggestion. Aboutmovies (talk) 18:47, 13 May 2008 (UTC)
[edit] QWERTY: Oregon COTW
Hello WikiProject Oregon participants, time for another edition of Collaboration of the Week. Last week we made some great improvements to Wallowa-Whitman National Forest and Oregon Ballot Measure 47 (1996), with a DYK for the forest. Great job everyone! This week we have another stub, George Lemuel Woods, one of only two governor stubs left, and should be an easy job getting it to Start class. Then, in honor of the long weekend, we have our second State Park Article Creation Drive. Lots of red links to turn blue, lots of opportunities for DYKs. Help if you can, even if it is only adding pictures of state parks. To opt out of these messages, leave your name here, or click here to make a suggestion. May the The Schwartz be with you. Aboutmovies (talk) 10:31, 22 May 2008 (UTC)
[edit] X marks the WPOR COTW spot
Guten Tag WikiProject Oregon team members! Great job last week with the Collaboration of the Week, we improved George Lemuel Woods and added eleven new state park articles. This past week we also surpassed the 6000 article mark as a project. The weather may suck, but WPORE is not. For this week we have by request Music of Oregon and Phil Knight. Both need some help, and with Knight we might be able to improve it to GA standards. Once again, to opt out of these messages, leave your name here, or click here to make a suggestion.

[edit] A is for Apple at COTW
Hello again to those of the WikiProject we call Oregon. Time for another edition of Collaboration of the Week. Last week there was some good improvements to Music of Oregon and Phil Knight, great job everyone. This week, by request is the Applegate Trail, which is short enough to easily conjure up a DYK. Then, I’m trying something a little different, with the Portland State stuff. We included the two high profile schools during Civil War week last year, so now its time for the younger sibling that gets no respect to get some attention. After all, it is the largest college in the state. Feel free to help with whatever aspects you like, though to help with some ideas I added some to the article talk page. Click here to opt out of these messages, or click here to make a suggestion for a future COTW. Nana na na, hey hey hey, goouud byeeee. Aboutmovies (talk) 08:07, 7 June 2008 (UTC)
