September WPOR Collaboration of the Week
First off, great job to all WikiProject Oregon folks for last week’s List of Oregon State Parks work. We pounded out six new state park articles: Sarah Helmick, Bald Peak, Bob Straub, Sumpter Valley Gold Dredge, Tumalo, and Peter Skene Ogden. Plus numerous other edits to improve the existing articles. As a reward, we are introducing the COTW award 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 click here. Good day! Aboutmovies 22:48, 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.

comments appreciated
Your comments are appreciated except when it turns out that your criticism against me personally is based on some bias and not because you actually know what you are talking about. You did not even read the PubMed publication, but deleted my contribution based on the fact that it was me editing in there. Get real. Shutterbug 21:50, 18 September 2007 (UTC)
 * I think I've pretty firmly established that the reversions were for, essentially, throwing the baby out with the bathwater. I think you're right that the wording needed to change, but you were doing it by needlessly disparaging the PubMed citation -- which I did read, by the way. --GoodDamon 22:36, 18 September 2007 (UTC)

Ok, let's get this peace pipe going (or I have to throw away a certain book I bought Friday). What's your purpose for those articles? Shutterbug 21:57, 18 September 2007 (UTC)
 * I just like Wikipedia, dude. At the moment, I'm also pretty fascinated with the topic of Scientology from an academic standpoint, but I think both "sides" of the debates here in Wiki-Land could use some other, less invested folks. At first, I was frankly worried about getting involved -- it looked like people were editing with daggers in there! -- but I've come around to the idea that I can be a voice of moderation. You've done a bunch of small edits today that I disagreed with, and a couple big ones that I'll definitely defend. I'm my own man, and I hope to maintain a neutral editing stance that will probably annoy everyone. :) --GoodDamon 22:36, 18 September 2007 (UTC)
 * P.S. Hope you like the book.
 * You jumped from mostly being a lurker straight into the snake pit, that's quite courageous. I guess I'll see you around then.(I ended up working on the weekend, so I had no chance to start reading the book yet). Shutterbug 23:11, 18 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Well, that's how I end up involved with everything I do. I fiddled with computers off and on as a kid, and then suddenly jumped into running my own BBS. I toyed with the notion of writing for years, then decided one day to make it a career. I lurked on other peoples' blogs for a long time, then one day wrote a bunch of entries in my own. I lurked all over Wikipedia for a long time, refusing even to create my own account. I guess I'm just funny that way. --GoodDamon 23:17, 18 September 2007 (UTC)

Fall WPOR COTW
Welcome to autumn 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  Oregon category or the 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 click here. Aboutmovies 02:03, 24 September 2007 (UTC)

Thanks!
Thanks for keeping Wikipedia clean! Gtorell 20:26, 26 September 2007 (UTC)
 * My pleasure. :) --GoodDamon 20:30, 26 September 2007 (UTC)

RE:User Page
''' Hi there, would you mind if I steal borrow a bunch of the code you wrote for your user pages? I really like the way you organized your user details, and thought I might give it a go. --GoodDamon 18:17, 27 September 2007 (UTC) '''

Sure that's fine. (Could you leave a small note at the bottom of the page about me designing it, like 'Thanks to Rugby471 for the User Page idea'  or something like that, it can be really small (like in tags) Thanks!) > Rugby471 talk &#9876; 18:22, 27 September 2007 (UTC)


 * Sure, absolutely. And thanks! --GoodDamon 18:35, 27 September 2007 (UTC)

( PS: could you notify me when you are done, I am interested to see how it looks :-)  )  > Rugby471 talk &#9876; 09:55, 29 September 2007 (UTC)
