== [[WP:ORE]] ==

Greetings from the WikiProject. We recently went through our lists to enable us to move some members that are not editing much to an inactive list. Don't worry, you are not one of them. However, going through your edit history I would like to invite you to join the sub-project on [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Oregon/Physical geography|geography]]. You seem to edit in this general area and any help would be appreciated. If you feel like it, sign up on the page and make any suggestions for articles that need creation/expansion/clean up. Happy editing. [[User:Aboutmovies|Aboutmovies]] 21:42, 9 April 2007 (UTC)

== Your [[User:AmiDaniel/VandalProof|VandalProof]] Application ==

Thank you for your interest in VandalProof, Bradybd. As you may know, VP is a very powerful program, and in fact the just released [[User:AmiDaniel/VandalProof|1.3 version]] has even more power. Because of this we must uphold strict protocols before approving a new applicant. Regretfully, I have chosen to decline your application at this time. The reason for this you have little experience vandalfighting.
Please note it is nothing personal by any means, and we certainly welcome you to apply again soon. Thank again for your interest in VandalProof. <i><b>[[WP:UCFD|<span style="color:darkmagenta;">«</span>]][[User:Snowolf|<span style="color:darkmagenta;">Snowolf</span>]] <sup><small>[[User talk:Snowolf|<span style="color:darkmagenta;">How can I help?</span>]]</small></sup>[[WP:NPP|<span style="color:darkmagenta;">»</span>]]</b></i> 10:49, 4 June 2007 (UTC)

== [[Brethren Coast]] ==
Again, not to seem rude, but for an inclusionist, you seem highly anxious to get rid of the Brethren Coast. Why not help us make it up to the standards of a good (not the award, but the relative) article? [[User:Therequiembellishere|Therequiembellishere]] 21:03, 6 June 2007 (UTC)
::First off, thank your for your politeness - not many people bother to be polite anymore - thank you for your consideration.  Secondly, very good question. As you may have noticed my official 'vote' was '''Strong Merge''' or '''Strong Redirect'''.  I don't want the information deleted, but I'm not convinced it needs its own page. Sometimes it seems like Wikipedia covers fictional characters, events, locations, ideas, etc. more than it covers history and the world in which we actually live.  Because of the historical existence of a loose organization of pirates in the Caribbean called the Brethren, I hate to see the real world topic confused with and obscured by a scene from a Disney film.  Perhaps if we changed the title of the page to '''Brethren of the Coast (Pirates of the Caribbean)''' I would be happy.  If you want me to elaborate more on this, please just let me know. [[User:Bradybd|Bradybd]] 05:33, 7 June 2007 (UTC)
:::I think you should mention on the talk page a move to ''Brethren Court (Pirates of the Caribbean)'' or ''Brethren of the Coast (Pirates of the Caribbean)'', it's a great idea. [[User:Therequiembellishere|Therequiembellishere]] 19:51, 7 June 2007 (UTC)



== [[List of companies that make organic food]] ==

Hi Bradybd.  The content was:

:When you buy organically farmed products, you help prevent soil erosion, save the energy it takes to produce synthetic fertilizers, protect the health of farm workers and help keep the carcinogens found in most herbicides and pesticides out of our water systems as well as the food we eat.

:Some of the companies listed below are well known for promoting and supporting organically grown products: 

:*Dagoba [http://www.dagobachocolate.com/]
:*Frontier Natural Products [http://www.frontiercoop.com/]
:*Horizon Organic [http://www.horizonorganic.com/]
:*Organic Valley [http://organicvalley.coop/]
:*Simply Organic [http://www.simplyorganicfoods.com/]
:*Seeds of Change [http://www.seedsofchange.com/]
:*Stoneyfield Farm [http://www.stonyfield.com/]

:Organic Certification
:Your guarantee that a product is organic is its certification. To qualify for this designation, an organic farmer must maintain and document organic practices for three years. After this time, the certifying agency sends an inspector to the site to approve the operation and grant the certification. The farmer maintains the organic status by keeping thorough records of soil and water testing; crop rotations; weed, insect and disease controls; a crop field lot number system; and records of agreements with neighboring landowners and officials about spraying in the vicinity.

Please do not recreate an article using this content.  I also hope to not see the links appear in any Wikipedia article; they will be removed and you may be blocked.  I'm sure that won't happen!  Best, [[User:Neil|<span style="text-decoration:none; font-family: cursive ;color: #006600">Neil</span>]]&nbsp;[[User_talk:Neil|<span style="text-decoration:none; color: #006600"><big>╦</big></span>]] 21:07, 8 June 2007 (UTC)

! style="background-color: #f90;" | <big>Using references (citations)</big>
|-
| style="border: solid 1px silver; padding: 8px; background-color: white;" style="text-align: left;" |

I thought you might find it useful to have some information about  references (refs) on wikipedia. These are important to [[WP:V|validate]] your writing and inform the reader. Any editor can removed unreferenced material; and unsubstantiated articles may end up getting deleted, so when you add something to an article, it's highly advisable to also include a reference to say where it came from. Referencing may look daunting, but it's easy enough to do. Here's a guide to getting started. 

;<big>Good references</big>

A reference must be accurate, i.e. it must prove the statement in the text. To validate "Mike Brown climbed Everest", it's no good linking to a page about Everest, if Mike Brown isn't mentioned, nor to one on Mike Brown, if it doesn't say that he climbed Everest. You have to link to a source that proves his achievement is true. You must use [[WP:Reliable sources|Reliable sources]], such as published books, mainstream press, authorised web sites, and official documents. Blogs, Myspace, Youtube, fan sites and extreme minority texts are not usually acceptable, nor is [[WP:Original research|Original research]], e.g. your own unpublished, or self-published, essay or research.

;<big>Simple referencing</big>

The first thing you have to do is to create a "Notes and references" section. This goes towards the bottom of the page, below the "See also" section and above the "External links" section. Enter this code:

:<nowiki>==Notes and references==</nowiki>
:<nowiki><references/></nowiki>

The next step is to put a reference in the text. Here is the code to do that. It goes at the end of the relevant term, phrase, sentence, or paragraph to which the note refers, and ''after'' punctuation such as a full stop, without a space (to prevent separation through line wrap): 

:<nowiki><ref> &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; </ref></nowiki>

Whatever text you put in between these two tags will become visible  in the "Notes and references" section as your reference.

;<big>Test it out</big>

Copy the following text, open the edit box for this page, paste it at the bottom (inserting your own text) and save the page:

:<nowiki>==Reference test==</nowiki>

:This is the text which you are going to reference.<nowiki><ref></nowiki> ''Substitute your own text in this space'' <nowiki></ref></nowiki>

:<nowiki>==Notes and references==</nowiki>

:<nowiki><references/></nowiki>

(End of text to copy and paste.)

;<big>Information to include</big>

You need to include the information to enable the reader to find your source. For a book it might look like this:

:<nowiki><ref> Smith, Timothy: "A Guide to Planets", page 29. Solar  Publishing, 2001  </ref></nowiki>

An online newspaper source would be:

:<nowiki><ref> Plunkett, John.  [http://media.guardian.co.uk/site/story/0,14173,1601858,00.html "Sorrell accuses Murdoch of panic buying"], ''[[The Guardian]]'',  [[2005-10-27]]. Retrieved on [[2005-10-27]].  </ref></nowiki>

Note the square brackets around the URL. The format is <nowiki>[URL Title]</nowiki> with a space between the URL and the Title. If you do this the URL is hidden and the Title shows as the link. Use double apostrophes for the article title, and two single quote marks either side of the name of the paper (to generate italics). 

The date after ''The Guardian'' is the date of the newspaper, and the date after "Retrieved on" is the date you accessed the site &ndash; useful for searching the [http://www.archive.org web archive] in case the link goes dead. Wikilinks (double square brackets which create an internal link to a wikipedia article) function inside the ref tags. Dates are wikilinked so that they work with user [[Help:Preferences|preference settings]].

;<big>Citation templates</big>

You may prefer to use a citation template to compile details of the source. The template goes between the ref tags and you fill out the fields you wish to. Basic templates can be found here: [[Wikipedia:Template messages/Sources of articles/Citation quick reference]] 

;<big>Same ref used twice or more</big>

The first time a reference appears in the article, you can give it a simple name in the <nowiki><ref></nowiki> code:

:<nowiki><ref name=smith> DETAILS OF REF </ref></nowiki>

The second time you use the same reference in the article, you need only to create a short cut instead of typing it all out again:

:<nowiki><ref name=smith/></nowiki>

You can then use the short cut as many times as you want. Don't forget the /, or it will blank the rest of the article! A short cut will only pick up from higher up the page, so make sure the first ref is the full one. Some symbols don't work in the ref name, but you'll find out if you use them.

;<big>Example</big>

You can see refs in action in the article [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=William_Bowyer_%28artist%29&oldid=102432843 William Bowyer (artist).] There are 3 sources and they are each referenced 3 times. Each statement in the article has a footnote to show what its source is.

;<big>Next step</big>

When you become familiar with the process, the next step is to have one section, "Footnotes", with links embedded in the text, and another, "References", which lists all of your references alphabetically with full details, e.g. for a book:

:Lincoln, Abraham; Grant, U. S.; & Davis, Jefferson (1861). ''Resolving Family Differences Peacefully'' (3rd ed.). Gettysburg: Printing Press. {{ISBN|0-12-345678-9}}. 

If you're ready to go into it further, these pages have detailed information:
*[[Wikipedia:Citing sources]]
*[[Wikipedia:Citing sources/example style]]
*[[Wikipedia:Citation templates]]
*[[Wikipedia:Footnotes]]

I hope this helps. If you need any assistance, let me know.

===what is needed===
What is needed to show notability is, primarily, a proper bibliographic listing for your published books, and references to published reviews of them to show their importance. What would also help is a list of degrees and positions and scientific papers, and  references from published sources that show the importance of your work.

== WPOR Collaboration of the Week ==

Greetings [[WP:ORE|WPOR]] member, we are starting a weekly collaboration project where we will announce two articles that are currently stubs that we hope to work together to improve. No pressure to help, but if you would like to, just stop by one of the articles and see if you can find information to expand the article with, copy edit what is there, help with formatting, or add some images. This week’s articles are: '''[[Alis volat propriis]]''' and '''[[Fusitriton oregonensis]]'''. [[User:Aboutmovies|Aboutmovies]] 22:32, 13 August 2007 (UTC)

Greetings [[WP:ORE|WikiProject Oregon]] employees. Well a big thanks to all those who helped improve [[Alis volat propriis]] and [[Fusitriton oregonensis]] last week. This week’s Stub improvement are: [[Government of Oregon]] which should be easy, and [[Miss Oregon]]. Again, no pressure to help with the collaboration, choose one, both, or neither.

Hello again [[WP:ORE|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.

== 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.

== 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.

== 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]].

== Week 1 October [[WP:ORE]] COTW ==

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.

This week is a Stub break, with a Ref improvement drive for '''[[Oregon]]''' and a request for work on '''[[Portland Police Bureau]]'''.

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]]'''.

== Oregon COTW version 11.20 ==

Welcome to the jungle [[WP:ORE|folks]]. Thanks to those who helped out with [[Katie Harman]] and [[Oregon Ballot Measure 37 (2004)]] last week. This week, we have two high priority stubs, one of the two major hospitals in '''[[Legacy Emanuel Hospital & Health Center]]''', and '''[[Oregon Department of Education]]'''.

== WPORE Civil War COTW ==

Hello again to [[WikiProject Oregon]] members, time for this week’s Collaboration of the Week. Thank you to those who helped out improving [[Legacy Emanuel Hospital & Health Center]] and [[Oregon Department of Education]] last week. This week, in honor of the annual [[Civil War (college football game)|Civil War]], we have the '''[[University of Oregon]]''' Ducks and the '''[[Oregon State University]]''' Beavers. Or if you attended some other school, feel free to improve your alma mater’s article.

== 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.

Hello again from the COTW of [[WP:ORE|WikiProject Oregon]]. We thank ye who went forth through the rain and mud and helped out with last week’s articles [[Lithia Motors, Inc.|Lithia Motors]] and [[Linus Pauling]]. 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]]'''.

== Happy Holidays from [[WP:ORE]] ==

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]]'''. Both are close to moving up to Start class, so only a little work is needed. Once again, to opt out or suggest future collaborative efforts, [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Oregon/Collaboration|click here]].

== 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]] GA 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]].

== 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.

== 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]]'''.

== Old Buildings and Pictures ==

Greetings from [[WP:WikiProject Oregon]]. Blah blah blah. This week we have our semi-annual '''[[:Category:Wikipedia requested photographs in Oregon|Picture]] [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Oregon/Graphics|Drive]]''' and a article creation drive for the '''[[List of Registered Historic Places in Oregon|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, [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Oregon/Collaboration|click here]].

== 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 [[National Register of Historical Places|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).

Howdy folks, its time for another installment of [[WP:ORE|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.

== Elected Oregon ==

Hello fellow [[WP:ORE|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: '''[[Oregon State Senate#Senators of the 2007 Legislative Session|Current Oregon Senate members]] & [[Oregon House of Representatives#Representatives of the 2007 Legislative Session|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, [http://arcweb.sos.state.or.us/legislative/histleg/statehood/statehood.htm 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.

== Juxtaposition COTW ==

Howdy Ho [[WP:ORE|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]]'''.

This week, we have another request in '''[[Oregon Ballot Measure 47 (1996)|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]]'''.

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 '''[[List of Oregon state parks|State Park Article Creation Drive]]'''. Lots of red links to turn blue, lots of opportunities for DYKs.

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]]'''.

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 [[:Category:Portland State University|'''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.

Hello again to those of [[WP:ORE|WikiProject Oregon]]. It is time again for another Collaboration of the Week. The last two weeks were a Stub Improvement Drive, and thank you to those who improved any Stubs.

This week marks the one week anniversary of the COTW, so a brief highlight reel:
*At least 10 DYKs
*Three articles passed GA after being listed at COTW
*Probably around 25 articles started
*Almost all Top importance articles are now better than Stub class
And now on with our countdown. This week we have two requests, the '''[[Willamette Meteorite]]''' and '''[[Tom McCall]]'''. Hopefully we can get both to GA quality.

Greetings [[WP:ORE|WikiProject Oregon folks]], it is time for another edition of the Collaboration of the Week!

==[[:Prom Queen (web series)]]==
[[Image:Nuvola apps important.svg|left|40px]]
This is an automated message from [[User:CorenSearchBot|CorenSearchBot]].  I have performed a web search with the contents of [[:Prom Queen (web series)]], and it appears to be very similar to another Wikipedia page: [[:Prom Queen (internet series)]].  It is possible that you have accidentally duplicated contents, or made an error while creating the page&mdash; you might want to look at the pages and see if that is the case. If you are intentionally moving or duplicating content, please be sure you have followed the procedure at [[Wikipedia:Splitting]] by acknowledging the duplication of material in [[Help:edit summary|edit summary]] to preserve attribution history.

This message was placed automatically, and it is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists.  If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article and it would be appreciated if you could drop a note on [[User talk:Coren|the maintainer's talk page]].

[[Image:Information.svg|25px]] Hi, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you recently tried to give {{#if:Prom Queen (internet series)|[[:Prom Queen (internet series)]]|a page}} a different title by copying its content and pasting it into {{#if:|[[:]]|another page with a different name}}. This is known as a "[[cut and paste]] move", and it is undesirable because it splits the [[Help:Page history|page history]] which is needed for attribution and various other purposes.  Instead, the software used by Wikipedia has a feature that allows pages to be ''moved'' to a new title together with their edit history.

In most cases, once your account is four days and has ten edits, you should be able to move an article yourself using the [[Help:Moving a page|"Move" tab]] at the top of the page. This both preserves the page history intact and automatically creates a [[Wikipedia:Redirect|redirect]] from the old title to the new. If you cannot perform a particular page move yourself this way (e.g. because a page already exists at the target title), please follow the instructions at [[Wikipedia:Requested moves|requested moves]] to have it moved by someone else. Also, if there are any other articles that you moved by copying and pasting, even if it was a long time ago, please list them at [[Wikipedia:Cut and paste move repair holding pen]]. {{#if:|{{{2}}}|Thank you.}} <!-- Template:uw-c&pmove--> -- [[User:Shadowlynk|Shadowlynk]] ([[User_talk:Shadowlynk|Talk]]) 07:39, 7 March 2009 (UTC)


* Oops - thank you for the advice. Any chance you can help me make the move? Thanks! [[User:Bradybd|Bradybd]] ([[User talk:Bradybd#top|talk]]) 07:45, 7 March 2009 (UTC)

:I've never done this before, so I'm not sure, but I believe I can mark the (web series) redirect for speedy deletion as a [[WP:CSD#G6|non-controversial page move]]. If an admin agrees, they'll delete the redirect and then you can do the move properly with the move tab on the (internet series) page. It's worth a try, at least. -- [[User:Shadowlynk|Shadowlynk]] ([[User_talk:Shadowlynk|Talk]]) 08:12, 7 March 2009 (UTC)
::Oh, that would be great. Sorry I bungled this so badly! Many thanks for your help! [[User:Bradybd|Bradybd]] ([[User talk:Bradybd#top|talk]]) 08:21, 7 March 2009 (UTC)

:::Not a problem. There was no permanent damage done, and now you know. :) If this doesn't work, you'll have to check [[Wikipedia:Requested moves]] for how to request the move. -- [[User:Shadowlynk|Shadowlynk]] ([[User_talk:Shadowlynk|Talk]]) 08:28, 7 March 2009 (UTC)

== [[:Category:Streamy Awards]] ==

For every category you create, you [[Wikipedia:FAQ/Categorization#Do_categories_need_parents.3F|should]] specify parent categories to which it belongs.  You can do this by listing the parents near the bottom of the page, each enclosed in double brackets like so:
 <nowiki>[[Category:</nowiki>Television awards<nowiki>]]
[[Category:</nowiki>Web television<nowiki>]]</nowiki>

I've added at least one parent to the category.  I invite you to check my work for accuracy and completeness.

I am a human being, not a [[Wikipedia:Bots|bot]], so you can [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/wiki.phtml?title=User_talk:Stepheng3&action=edit&section=new contact me] if you have questions about this.  Best regards, --[[User:Stepheng3|Stepheng3]] ([[User talk:Stepheng3|talk]]) 17:50, 6 April 2009 (UTC)

<big>'''Hi, {{BASEPAGENAME}}, welcome to the [[Wikipedia:Article Rescue Squadron|Article Rescue Squadron]]!'''</big> 
We are a growing community of Wikipedia editors dedicated to identifying and rescuing articles that have been [[Wikipedia:Articles for deletion|tagged for deletion]]. Every day hundreds of articles are deleted, many rightfully so. But many concern notable subjects and are poorly written, ergo fixable and should not be deleted. We try to help these articles quickly improve and address the concerns of why they are proposed for deletion. This covers a lot of ground and your help is appreciated! 

{| class="navbox collapsible collapsed" style="text-align: left; border: solid 1px red; margin-top: 0.2em;"
|-
! style="background-color: #f2dfce;" | Some points that may be helpful:
|-
| style="border: solid 1px red; padding: 8px; background-color: #FFFFBB;" |
* Our main aim is to help improve articles, so if someone seeks help, please try to assist if you are able. Likewise feel free to ask for help, advice and clarification.

* Many times we are asked to help rescue articles by people new to our [[Wikipedia:Notability|notability]] and [[Wikipedia:Verifiability|sourcing]] policies. If the article is not fixable we can help explain why and offer alternatives. Many of these editors are also new to Wikipedia so may see deleting "their" article as [[Wikipedia:Please do not bite the newcomers|"bitey"]]. Encourage [[Wikipedia:Civility|civility]] and maybe even {{tl|welcome}} them if they have only been templated with deletion messages.

* The ''Articles for deletion'' (AfD) discussion is where the concerns regarding each article are brought up and addressed. To be an effective member of the project you need to know how AfD works as well as how to improve articles. [[Wikipedia:Introduction to deletion process|Introduction to deletion process]] gives a good overview and some [[Wikipedia:Introduction to deletion process#Advice for newcomers to deletion|good advice for newcomers to deletion]].

* Our primary work is improving [[:Category:Articles tagged for deletion and rescue|articles tagged for rescue]]. On this template you can see a drop-down list of current articles tagged. You can install it on your own page by putting {{tl|ARS/Tagged}}. A more dynamic list with article links and description is on [[Wikipedia:Article Rescue Squadron/Current articles|our current articles page]]. It is highly recommended you [{{SERVER}}{{localurl:Wikipedia:Article Rescue Squadron/Current articles|action=watch}} watchlist it].

* If you have another language besides English, please consider adding yourself to [[Wikipedia:Translators available| the list of translators available]]. Articles and sources that use non-English languages often need translation for those of us who cannot translate for ourselves.

* Many important discussions take place on the project's [[Wikipedia talk:Article Rescue Squadron|main discussion page]]; it is recommended that you [{{SERVER}}{{localurl:Wikipedia:Article Rescue Squadron|action=watch}} watchlist it].

If you have any questions, feel free to [[Wikipedia talk:Article Rescue Squadron|ask on the talk page]], and we will be happy to help you.

== [[Wikipedia:Proposed deletion|Proposed deletion]] of [[Take180]] ==
[[Image:Ambox warning yellow.svg|left|link=|48px|]]

The article [[Take180]] has been [[Wikipedia:Proposed deletion|proposed for deletion]]&#32; because of the following concern:
:'''Non-notable defunct company; requires significant coverage in multiple independent reliable sources. None provided, nor found in Google News. Merely trivial mentions of company, not enough to meet WP:GNG for standalone article.'''

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be [[WP:DEL#REASON|deleted for any of several reasons]].

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{Tlc|proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your [[Help:edit summary|edit summary]] or on [[Talk:Take180|the article's talk page]].

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{Tlc|proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the [[Wikipedia:Proposed deletion|proposed deletion process]], but other [[Wikipedia:deletion process|deletion process]]es exist. In particular, the [[Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion|speedy deletion]] process can result in deletion without discussion, and [[Wikipedia:Articles for deletion|articles for deletion]] allows discussion to reach [[Wikipedia:Consensus|consensus]] for deletion.<!-- Template:Proposed deletion notify -->  --  [[User:Wikipedical|Wikipedical]] ([[User talk:Wikipedical|talk]]) 23:42, 18 November 2013 (UTC)

Thank you for uploading '''[[:File:StreamyAward.png]]'''. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this file on Wikipedia may not meet the criteria required by [[Wikipedia:Non-free content]]. This can be corrected by going to the file description page and adding or clarifying the reason why the file qualifies under this policy. Adding and completing one of the templates available from [[Wikipedia:Non-free use rationale guideline]] is an easy way to ensure that your file is in compliance with Wikipedia policy. Please be aware that a non-free use rationale is not the same as an [[Wikipedia:Image copyright tags/Non-free|image copyright tag]]; descriptions for files used under the non-free content policy require both a copyright tag and a non-free use rationale.

If it is determined that the file does not qualify under the non-free content policy, it might be deleted by an administrator within a few days in accordance with our [[Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion#Files|criteria for speedy deletion]]. If you have any questions, please ask them at the [[Wikipedia:Media copyright questions|media copyright questions page]].

== Contests ==
[[User:Dr. Blofeld]] has created [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Africa/Contests]]. The idea is to run a series of contests/editathons focusing on each region of Africa. He has spoken to Wikimedia about it and $1000-1500 is possible for prize money.

== Invite to the African Destubathon ==

Hi. You may be interested in participating in the '''[[Wikipedia:WikiProject Africa/The Africa Destubathon|African Destubathon]]''' which starts on October 15. Africa currently has over 37,000 stubs and badly needs a quality improvement editathon/contest to flesh out basic stubs. There are proposed substantial prizes to give to editors who do the most geography, wildlife and women articles, and planned smaller prizes for doing to most destubs for each of the 53 African countries, so should be enjoyable! Even if contests aren't your thing we would be grateful if you could consider destubbing a few African articles during the drive to help the cause and help reduce the massive 37,000 + stub count, of which many are rated high importance (think Regions of countries etc). If you're interested in competing or just loosely contributing, whether it's a river in Malawi, a Nigerian footballer, or a South African civil rights activist, please add your name to the Contestants/participants section. Diversity of work from a lot of people will make this that bit more special. For those of you who signed up to the North African contest, that will hopefully be held in the new year. Thanks. --[[User:MediaWiki message delivery|MediaWiki message delivery]] ([[User talk:MediaWiki message delivery|talk]]) 21:11, 6 October 2016 (UTC)

== 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.
