Talk:Fort Stevens (Oregon)

Disambiguation
I think this should be a disambiguation, there's also a Fort Stevens in Washington, DC, where a Civil War battle was fought. I don't know how to do that though. Awiseman 04:33, 27 January 2006 (UTC)

I worked at Ft. Steven for 4 summers. I'll see if I can find anything to add 198.6.46.11 21:52, 31 August 2007 (UTC)

Okay, going to need to break it into timeframes. Civil War, WW1, WW2, the sink into disrepair, fire at Mishler, reconstruction by the state parks and current situation including the annual civil war reenactment (Labor Day Weekend) 198.6.46.11 21:56, 31 August 2007 (UTC)

Linkfarm

 * Yes, it is a little excessive on the External links. Granted. The design, hope and desire is that they can be converted into references through continued and widened editing, especially through the visibility that the Expand tag hopefully garners.

 * Dream on. Honestly that almost never happens, unless you plan to do it yourself. When I want to stash links, I usually put them on the talkpage, or comment them out if I plan to get back to them myself (also unlikely, so I just keep them on one of my subpages now). I just noticed some of those links are a little spammy, like Great Schools instead of the actual school webpage if they have one (though what the school has to do with the fort, I'm not sure), and the Stateparks.com instead of the actual link to the official park page, etc. I see you have your reasons, but linkfarms tend to breed more links and will soon overwhelm the article. I'd suggest some judicious weeding at least. I'm sure you've seen the guidelines about what are considered good external links. Katr67 (talk) 03:46, 7 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Yeah, I'll dream tonight. I do plan on working a bunch out myself, but have planned on it for awhile with the links on a userpage. I figured (hoped?) that if I moved them over 1. I might be more motivated to incorporate them and 2. maybe someone else might take note of one or two. Also, yes I did go all-out looking for links awhile back and will weed through as I work. Feel free to weed some yourself if you want as well; I totally am not trying to take ownership of the article or anything! (Just the opposite; I want and hope others will help this article out!)

Out of range?
During the bombardment, no fire was returned because the attacking submarine was judged to be out of range 14,700 yards? Although the submarine's range was not much better at 17,000 yards. Does this indicate that the more modern 6 inch guns were added after this? Presumably they'd have had enough range to engage. Andy Dingley (talk) 14:23, 26 March 2020 (UTC)
