Hey Adam, what's goin on!

I just knew this was you... it's Nick - the contributor from NW Virtual Transit.

Nice work here on Wikipedia!

Where did you get the idea TriMet didn't go to Boring?

I'm wondering if I'm missing something, or if it's you. See [[TriMet]].

We should write a book - "When Great Transit Minds Collide"...

== Images  ==

Hello again,
Recently I have been replacing my photos on English Wikipedia with full sized versions on [[Wikimedia Commons]] and I'd like to ask you to consider doing the same.  The [http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Portland%2C_Oregon Portland Category] would be significantly improved with your photos.  [[User:Cacophony|Cacophony]] 02:50, 10 January 2006 (UTC)

==Image Tagging [[:Image:Washington park MAX-plz.jpg]]==
<!-- If it says "Editing Template:Image source (section)" at the top, then you are modifying the master copy of this template, and not your user talk page.  You should probably go back a page and use the "edit this page" tab at the top instead. -->

{| align="CENTER"  style="background-color:#FFFFFF; border:8px solid #FF0000;  padding:5px;"
|-
|[[Image:Achtung.png|30px|Warning sign]]
| {{center|{{big|This image may be '''deleted'''.}}}}
|}

Thanks for uploading '''[[:Image:Washington park MAX-plz.jpg]]'''. I notice the image page currently doesn't specify who created the image, so the [[copyright]] status is therefore unclear. If you have not created the image yourself then you need to argue that we have the right to use the image on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the image yourself then you should also specify where you found it, i.e., in most cases link to the website where you got it, and the terms of use for content from that page.

If the image also doesn't have a copyright tag then you must also add one. If you created/took the picture then you can use {{tl|GFDL}} to release it under the [[GFDL]]. If you believe the image qualifies as fair use, please read [[Wikipedia:Fair use|fair use]], and then use a tag such as {{tlp|Non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at [[Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair_use]].  See [[Wikipedia:Image copyright tags]] for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other images, please check that you have specified their source and copyright tagged them, too. You can find a list of image pages you have edited by clicking on the "[[Special:Contributions/{{PAGENAME}}|my contributions]]" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any unsourced and untagged images will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on [[wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion#Images.2FMedia|criteria for speedy deletion]]. Thank you. [[User:Admrboltz|Admrb♉ltz]] <small>([[User talk:Admrboltz|T]] | [[Special:Contributions/Admrboltz|C]])</small> 00:54, 23 January 2006 (UTC)

Wikiproject Oregon is now up and running!  I invite you to join at [[WP:WPOR]] [[User:PDXblazers|PDXblazers]] 22:37, 25 March 2006 (UTC)

== [[WP:WPOR|Wikproject Oregon]] ==

I would like to see some sort of collaboration or cohesion with respect to the Oregon Wikiproject so that we can see some sort of progress toward a goal.  Please give suggestions on the talk page. [[User:PDXblazers|PDXblazers]] 20:02, 8 April 2006 (UTC)

== [[WP:WPOR]] : [[Oregon]] ==

Thanks for being a part of [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Oregon]].  Our first article we'll be improving to FAC status is, oddly enough, [[Oregon]]!  Please visit [[Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Oregon]] to discuss the contributions you can make to improve [[Oregon]] to a FAC level article.

== [[WP:WPOR]] infoboxes ==

I like what you have been doing improving the infoboxes for Oregon cities, thank you!  I have kind of managed to screw up the seal on the [[Medford, Oregon]] articles, if you can tinker and see if you might be able to fix it, it would be greatly appreciated.  Thank you! [[User:PDXblazers|PDXblazers]] 05:04, 18 May 2006 (UTC)


If that is the case, scrap the Medford seal unless you should hear something from the city [[User:PDXblazers|PDXblazers]] 23:58, 18 May 2006 (UTC)


== Infoboxes ==

Thanks for starting the cities subproject.  I am currently working on adding infoboxes to many cities as well.  Hopefully, we can get it so all Oregon cities have infoboxes! [[User:PDXblazers|PDXblazers]] 04:20, 24 May 2006 (UTC)

==[[James Withycombe]]==
Good work on the James Withycombe article.  I was wondering though, where is your source for ''"He received his Master's Degree in Agriculture 1891 from OAC"''?  I am in the ongoing process of adding all famous OSU alumni to [[List of Oregon State University people]] and your article was the first I've heard of him being an OSU alumni as well as a former faculty member.  I question this because he isn't listed [http://alumni.oregonstate.edu/famous/index.html here] which specifically states that only 2 OSU alumni have become governor, [[John H. Hall]] and [[Douglas McKay]].  I looked at both of the online references provided and niether mention this, they simply say he was faculty there. Can you clear this up?  If he indeed is an alumni I'll be sending an e-mail to the OSU alumni association to get their facts straight. [[User:VegaDark|VegaDark]] 21:11, 8 August 2006 (UTC)
:I can see you put a lot of work into researching this, good work.  What I meant in my original comment was that yes, I realized he was faculty, but I was unaware he was also an alumni as he wasn't on the famous alumni list at OSU.  Did the book say it was an honorary degree or something?  That is the only explanation I can think of as to why he wouldn't be included.  If he did indeed go here for grad school (undergraduate as well?) then he should certainly be on the famous alumni list at OSU. [[User:VegaDark|VegaDark]] 20:02, 16 August 2006 (UTC)

== WikiProject South Park ==

I have thought of creating a WikiProject for South Park since it is now near its' 10th anniversary and has more articles than ever. I feel we could all do the following things through this project:
*Cleanup any short/poorly written/unformatted articles
*Merge/lengthen the many character articles
*Improve the South Park main page
I have seen your South Park fan template and wondered if you were interested in joining. If so reply to my talk page and I'll get back to you as quick as I can. Thanks,
'''[[User:Mr. Garrison |Mr.]]''' ''[[User talk: Mr. Garrison |Garrison]]''

== Oregon seals ==

Hey what ever became of the seals project? You were pretty much done, right? I thought there was a list of all the ones you had asked about, along with their pro and con status regarding whether we could use them, but darned if I can find it anywhere. I'm asking because one of our new WikiProject members has added a few seals and I wanted to make sure he didn't get in trouble for that. But I don't want to say anything unless I know what I'm talking about. :) Thanks! [[User:Katr67|Katr67]] 20:58, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

== Use of one of your photos in a new transit textbook ==

Hi Adam-- I'm working with Vukan Vuchic (www.seas.upenn.edu/~vuchic) on a new urban transit textbook (http://www.wiley.com/WileyCDA/WileyTitle/productCd-047175823X.html).  Dr. Vuchic would like to use a photo you took that's currently on the nycsubway.org site (http://world.nycsubway.org/perl/show?30638).  We asked the webmaster there for permission to use the photo in Dr. Vuchic's textbook, but he said they don't give permission for commercial reuse of the photos on the site.  I noticed that the photos you've uploaded to Wikipedia are licensed as public domain, so I'm wondering if you might be willing to let Dr. Vuchic use your photo of the Vancouver Skytrain in his book.  We'll be happy to credit you as the source.  Thx. Jim, [[User:Pixel23|Pixel23]] 21:15, 8 December 2006 (UTC)
==NYC Subway page==
The articles are pretty nice, but they get the date of the Portland Mall opening wrong.  See [http://www.portlandmall.org/about/mallhistory.htm]. [[User:Jmchuff|Jason McHuff]] 20:53, 19 February 2007 (UTC)

== Input request ==
Hi Ajbenj, there is some discussion currently going on [[Portal talk:Anime and Manga|here]], and I noticed you have {{tl|User anime}} on your userpage. If you are not too busy, I would appreciate it if you could drop some of your ideas on how to reform the portal on the aforementioned talk page. Thanks!

==License tagging for Image:Stmarysportland.jpg==
Thanks for uploading [[:Image:Stmarysportland.jpg]]. Wikipedia gets thousands of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an [[Wikipedia:Image copyright tags|image tag]] applied to the [[Wikipedia:Image description page|image description page]] indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.

* [[Wikipedia:Image copyright tags]]

This is an automated notice by [[User:OrphanBot|OrphanBot]]. If you need help on selecting a tag to use, or in adding the tag to the image description, feel free to post a message at [[Wikipedia:Media copyright questions]]. 14:08, 7 July 2007 (UTC)

==Image uploads==
Just some advice, but it might be a little more worthwhile to upload your images to [[Commons:Main Page|Commons]] as they could be used throughout the Wikimedia projects, not only in the English Wikipedia.

Hello again [[WikiProject Oregon]] team members, its time for the next Collaboration of the Week. First a shout out to [[User:Sprkee|Sprkee]] for putting together some templates for this project. Now, in honor of Labor Day weekend and the outdoor nature of the activities that often accompany the three-day weekend, this week’s item is to de-redlink as many parks from the '''[[List of Oregon State Parks]]'''. Some may even by going to one of these places, a great opportunity to take a picture or two for an article. As always, participation is not required, though it is appreciated. And if you are caught, we will disavow any knowledge of your existence. Since we don’t want to waste any effort through duplication, please make a note on the [[Talk:List of Oregon State Parks|talk page]] of which park article you are going to start. Good day!

'''This is an automated message from a [[Wikipedia:Bots|robot]]'''. You have recently uploaded '''[[:Image:Albany oregon city seal.jpg]]'''. The file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the [[copyright]] status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright.

== September WPOR Collaboration of the Week ==

First off, great job to all [[WP:ORE|WikiProject Oregon]] folks for last week’s [[List of Oregon State Parks]] work. We pounded out six new state park articles: [[Sarah Helmick State Recreation Site|Sarah Helmick]], [[Bald Peak State Scenic Viewpoint|Bald Peak]], [[Bob Straub State Park|Bob Straub]], [[Sumpter Valley Gold Dredge]], [[Tumalo State Park|Tumalo]], and [[Peter Skene Ogden State Scenic Viewpoint|Peter Skene Ogden]]. Plus numerous other edits to improve the existing articles. As a reward, we are introducing the COTW award {{tl|WPOR COTW award}}, and this time it goes to [[User:Woodstein52]] for starting three of the articles.

On to this week. We are back to the usual two Top importance Stubs: '''[[Sunstone]]''' and '''[[Oregon, My Oregon]]'''. Both are stub pluses, so it shouldn’t take much to upgrade them both. Again to opt out or suggest future collaborative efforts [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Oregon/Collaboration|click here]]. Good day! [[User:Aboutmovies|Aboutmovies]] 22:28, 9 September 2007 (UTC)

== WPOR Collaboration: 09172007 ==

All righty WPOR ladies and gentleman, great job last week with our state song and gemstone. I have bumped them up to Start class. I haven’t looked at the contributions, so the COTW award will be later.
This week’s articles are '''[[Darlene Hooley]]''', by special request, and another Top stub, our very own state rock, the '''[[Thunderegg]]'''. Yes, apparently we have a state rock and state gemstone. No word on whether there is a state stone too. Hooley basically needs some sources to make it to the next level. Again to opt out or suggest future collaborative efforts [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Oregon/Collaboration|click here]]. In the words of Beaver Joe, whoop! [[User:Aboutmovies|Aboutmovies]] 18:03, 17 September 2007 (UTC)

== Fall WPOR COTW ==

Welcome to autmun and the weekly COTW news. Great job to those who helped out with last week’s articles: [[Darlene Hooley]] & [[Thunderegg]]. Both made great improvements. This week, something a little different. With fall upon us, the photo ops are going to be harder to get, so we have a photo request fulfillment drive. Take a look at the requested pictures for ''' [[:Category:Wikipedia requested photographs in Oregon|Oregon category]]''' or the [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Oregon/Graphics|graphics subproject]] for what’s needed. Then go take a picture, or search online for a free picture to upload (US gov sites are great and there are links available from the above links). If you fill a request, be sure to remove the request template from the article’s talk page. Our other item is another red link removal drive, this time on the flagship '''[[Oregon]]''' article. Like the state parks red link drive, try to coordinate on the talk page. Again to opt out or suggest future collaborative efforts [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Oregon/Collaboration|click here]].

I know everyone has been waiting anxiously for this week’s COTW, so here they are: '''[[Barlow Road]]''' and '''[[Columbia River Plateau]]'''. Both are almost Start class, just some formatting and referencing, plus a little expansion and they will be there!

As to last week, it is difficult to track the items we were working on, but I know some pictures were added and at least three red links were removed from [[Oregon]], so thank you to all those who participated. The award winner will be [[User:GoodDamon|GoodDamon]] for their creation of the [[Oregon Forest Resources Institute]] article.

Greetings [[WP:WPOR|WPOR]] world. Last week was great with the [[Barlow Road]] seeing lots of improvement, maybe even B class. [[Columbia River Plateau]] also saw some improvement, maybe enough to bump it to Start.
On with the countdown, another two Stubs in the High category, both happen to be people: '''[[Don Schollander]]''' a multi-gold medalist; and then world-renowned bridge architect and all-around swell guy '''[[Conde McCullough]]'''. Schollander needs sources more than anything, and McCullough needs more of a bio, plus maybe a nice chart for the bridges with type/year/location/length.

Hello again from [[WP:ORE|WikiProject Oregon]]. A round of applause for the project in October when we added three GAs, one FA, plus 10 DYKs! Next, thanks to all those who participated in last week’s Collaboration of the Week, [[John Wesley Davis]] & [[Johnny Kitzmiller]].

Thank you to all [[WP:ORE|those editors]] who helped improve [[Cayuse War]] and [[Portland Trail Blazers]] last week as part of the Collaboration of the Week. They are looking much better. This week, with the election season over, we’ll tackle a request for '''[[Oregon Ballot Measure 37 (2004)]]''', which should have plenty of [[WP:RS]] available to work with on improvement. Our other article is another Stub in the High category, our only Miss America, '''[[Katie Harman]]'''.

Welcome to the jungle [[WP:ORE|folks]]. Thanks to those who helped out with [[Katie Harman]] and [[Oregon Ballot Measure 37 (2004)]] last week.

== FA for WPORE COTW ==

Greetings boys and girls from the fine folks at [[WP:ORE|The Wettest Place on Earth!]] A thank you to those who helped last week make some good improvements on the U of O and <s>OSU</s> OS articles. For this week, the next stub on the list is Fortune 1000 company [[Lithia Motors, Inc.]] way down south in Dixie, which only needs a little added to make it to Start. The other is a bit more of a challenge, but [[Linus Pauling]] I believe is our only Nobel Prize winning Oregonian, and a former FA. So hopefully we can get it back to FA, check the talk page’s article history template for comments.

Hopefully Linus can return to FA status early next year. This week we have the request of '''[[Oregon Ballot Measure 5 (1990)]]''' and High importance article '''[[Portland Rose Festival]]'''.

Hello again from the Collaboration of the Week for [[WP:ORE|WikiProject Oregon]]. This week are two more stubs, the '''[[Oregon Garden]]''' and former Congressman '''[[Robert B. Duncan]]'''.

== Holiday COTW ==

Greetings to all the [[WP:ORE|WikiProject Oregon]] crew. Happy holidays to those who celebrate holidays. Thanks to those who helped out with last week’s articles [[Oregon Garden]] and [[Robert B. Duncan]]. Due to the holidays and people likely to be spending less time on Wikipedia, the new Collaboration of the Week will run for two weeks (OK actually I’ll be out of the country, but same difference). The first item will be a general '''Reference Improvement Drive'''. So find an article, source an tagged sentence or bring all the citations up to [[WP:CITE]] standards. The other item is a '''Tagging Drive''', looking for those random articles about Oregon that do not yet have a {{tl|WikiProject Oregon}} tag on the talk page. In the past I’ve found the [[:Category:People from Oregon]] and its sub cats fertile ground for the lost Oregon souls.

== New Year COTW from [[WP:ORE]] ==

Happy New Year to all the ''[[WP:ORE|Oregon WikiProject People]]''. A big round of applause for everyone last year, we got a lot done. A thank you to everyone who helped with the last Collaboration of the Week, I saw a large number of articles in the unassessed section and our total number of articles is over 5000 (we were around 4000 in June when the assessment program finished the initial run) so I know at one person was busy tagging. This week we are back to a High importance Stub article the one and only max security prison, first prison, and only one with a death row in the state, the '''[[Oregon State Penitentiary]]'''. Then, by request we have one of the most prolific ballot measure sponsors in Mr. '''[[Bill Sizemore]]'''.

== Oregon COTW ==

Howdy to [[WikiProject Oregon]] members, time for another edition of the Collaboration of the Week. As you may have already noticed, our flagship article '''[[Oregon]]''' is up for the third time as we make a push to get [[WP:GA]] status before going for [[WP:FA]]. Since this will take some time to get where it needs to be, this will be the COTW for more than just a week. Also, so we hopefully don’t trip over ourselves, try to coordinate on the article’s talk page. Once again, to opt out or suggest future collaborative efforts, [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Oregon/Collaboration|click here]].

On another note, just a general good job/pat on the back to the project for a great 2007, the first full year of the project. We had 83 DYKs about Oregon, improved one article to FA, and went from around 4 GAs to 17 GAs. Plus numerous new articles, improvements to existing, the introduction of the COTW, and the introduction of article assessment at the project. Again, great job and here’s to a new year.

== 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, [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Oregon/Collaboration|click here]]. Good day!

== 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 (Portland, Oregon)|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, [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Oregon/Collaboration|visit here]]. [[User:Aboutmovies|Aboutmovies]] ([[User talk:Aboutmovies|talk]]) 07:43, 6 February 2008 (UTC)

== 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 (Portland, Oregon)|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 [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Oregon/Collaboration|visit here]].

As we have quite a few new members over the last six months, I’ll make another pitch for our various subprojects. [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Oregon#Project divisions|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.

== Portland Art+Feminism Edit-a-thon: March 12, 2022 ==

You are invited! An [[Art+Feminism]] Wikipedia edit-a-thon will be held in Portland, Oregon, on March 12, 2022. Learn more '''[https://artandfeminism.org/edit_a_thon/portland-art-feminism-edit-a-thon/ here]'''!

Wikipedia is one of the most-visited sites on the internet—and it’s created by people who volunteer their time to write and edit pages. Learn how to edit Wikipedia and be a part of shaping our understanding of our world. In this workshop, volunteer Wikipedia editors will be on hand to train participants on how to get started editing pages and offer ideas for which pages you can pitch in to help improve. Show up at any point during the four hours to get started! 

Also: Free burritos!! We will be providing vegan, vegetarian, and meat burritos from food cart Loncheria Las Mayos. Alder Commons has a large, fenced playground. Children are welcome! Some computers will be available to borrow, but if you have a laptop, please bring it to use. We will also be leading an online training for new editors at 11am-12pm PST. Please feel free to join that training if you are not able to show up IRL. 

This event is part of the international month of events organized by Art+Feminism, which is building a community of activists committed to closing information gaps related to gender, feminism, and the arts, beginning with Wikipedia.
