New Year COTW from WP:ORE
Happy New Year to all the 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. Once again, to opt out or suggest future collaborative efforts, click here.

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, 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.

Picture
BTW, where was that image coming from last night. I saw it just as soon as it came up (hahaha) but was not able to do much (although I tried a bit) as my 8-year-old son was playing around on his piano right behind me and I did not feel like getting into why someone would put that image on the Scn article, seeing as everyone he loves and most everyone he knows is a Scnist. --JustaHulk (talk) 18:12, 23 January 2008 (UTC)
 * I never did find out where it was done. The most I could surmise was that someone edited a template that a lot of articles use and put that image in it. I was at work at the time, so I had to close the browser fast when I saw it! After a little bit of digging, I found out that literally hundreds of Wikipedia pages were affected, so I don't think that one was specifically directed at Scientology. -- Good Damon 18:54, 23 January 2008 (UTC)

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, click here. Good day! Aboutmovies (talk) 16:11, 28 January 2008 (UTC)

Hey GoodDamon! I have good faith that my edit to hubbard was constructive and, in accordance with Wikimedia Policy :) I shall leave it for a while however, with working with past experience of Hubbard's 'religion', I believe my edit was in good faith, thanks Talk to symode09's or How's my driving? 14:14, 29 January 2008 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Symode09 (talk • contribs)
