Talk:Upper and Lower Table Rock/Archive 1

Needs work
I going to add some external links that can be used to beef up the article and then be used as references. Please help. - Peregrine Fisher (talk) 18:53, 20 November 2007 (UTC)

Merge?
Why the merge? Shouldn't there have been a merge proposal first? Katr67 (talk) 04:35, 24 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Well, I guess I have nothing else to fall back on but WP:Be Bold. There was no Table Rock page yet for a true merge and the articles would have almost everything to overlap.  Perhaps a "move" or rename would have been more accurate for the situation.  As for improving the article, a browser crash just killed 30 minutes worth of unsaved edits.   :-/  Zab (talk) 05:11, 24 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Ouch. I hate those browser crashes. Doesn't happen anymore now that I switched to firefox, thank goodness. Anyway, I think we can have both an Upper and Lower Table Rock article and an article on the rez. There's nothing wrong with this article being a stub for a while. If we do want to keep them merged, it might be better to formally move the rez info here using the "move" button, vs. a cut-n-paste, in order to preserve the page history. Katr67 (talk) 15:57, 24 April 2009 (UTC)
 * I undid the redirect, this article is becoming too much about the Table Rocks themselves and the reservation is not actually on the rocks. Zab (talk) 10:58, 7 May 2009 (UTC)

DYK?
I don't know much about DYKs, but this article seems to meet all the criteria. Just throwing it out there.  L ITTLE M OUNTAIN  5  review! 02:07, 26 April 2009 (UTC)
 * I nominated for you here. Feel free to nominate other articles you start on the same page when they meet the criteria. Aboutmovies (talk) 08:53, 26 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Thanks! Since I didn't create the article, should my name really be on there?  L ITTLE M OUNTAIN  5  review! 15:18, 26 April 2009 (UTC)
 * True, but you did add about 40% to the article, and there can be multiple authors. So unless Zab objects, I think its fair. Aboutmovies (talk) 05:05, 27 April 2009 (UTC)
 * No objections from me. This article would have been created sooner or later anyway and all I did was kick the bee hive. Zab (talk) 09:18, 27 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Okay, thanks.  L ITTLE M OUNTAIN  5  review! 19:53, 27 April 2009 (UTC)

Reference stuff
I came across "Oregon Plants, Oregon Places: Upper and Lower Table Rocks" by Joan Seevers and Darren Borgias (link). There is a huge amount on the plant life but most important is all the hard references on pages 8 and 9 of the pdf file. Zab (talk) 10:25, 27 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Wow, that's great! I'll go through it later. Sorry for the late reply,  L ITTLE M OUNTAIN  5  15:00, 3 June 2009 (UTC)
 * I'm going through this now, but what exactly is it? I'm not sure if it is a book, journal, just something on the web...? I'm going to cite it as a journal for now. Thanks,  L ITTLE M OUNTAIN  5  23:35, 4 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Journal should be fine. Nice call on the flower in the picture too. ZabMilenko 04:44, 5 June 2009 (UTC)

Removed refs
I took out some text and the following refs: ... because they are not being used to reference anything that I can see, but I am leaving them here just in case I missed something. The diff for the removal is here. ZabMilenko 16:06, 4 June 2009 (UTC)

Locator Map
I'm not really sure how to use a locator map, but shouldn't we use the Oregon locator map, which would be much more accurate?  Little Mountain  5   22:36, 14 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Sure. The locator maps are new to me as well; I had just picked one that was available on another page. ZabMilenko How am I driving? 00:23, 15 June 2009 (UTC)

Pictures


I took some pictures of the Table Rocks from Stone Ridge Golf Course today, but the weather wasn't too nice, and they don't thumb to well. Feel free to use them, but I won't be offended if they're not. Thanks,  Little Mountain  5   23:24, 31 July 2009 (UTC)
 * I just a thought: maybe Image:Upper Table Rock.jpg could be used directly below Image:Table Rock from Roxy Ann.jpg in the infobox, as they are similar in distance and appearance?  Little Mountain  5   23:37, 31 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Yeah the valley was fairly smokey on Friday; perhaps wildfire nearby? I didn't check.  As for the pictures, I like the one with both Table Rocks together mainly because we don't have one of those up yet. ZabMilenko How am I driving? 14:37, 1 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Fine with me, although it's mainly golf course and not much Table Rocks...  Little Mountain  5   15:43, 1 August 2009 (UTC)
