Old Buildings and Pictures
Greetings from WP:WikiProject Oregon. Blah blah blah. This week we have our semi-annual Picture Drive and a article creation drive for the 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, click here. Aboutmovies (talk) 20:02, 7 March 2008 (UTC)

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 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).

speculative fiction
Hey! was wondering if you were still interested in discussing the speculative/science fiction issue on Scientology Rubico (talk) 01:54, 25 March 2008 (UTC)


 * I am, although my opinion on the matter is pretty evident. Sorry I haven't been as active, lately... Too busy. -- Good Damon 18:25, 25 March 2008 (UTC)

Vera Katz and History
Howdy folks, its time for another installment of 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. As always, to opt out, opt in, or suggest future collaborative efforts, click here.

Scientology
It really is pissing in the wind, but "some" journalists seems to me to be as weaselly as just "journalists", implying "all journalists". There really is no way of quantifying this since there is no generally accepted definition of a "journalist" and no reliable poll thereof. Would you be happier with "many journalists", even though that itself is open to challenge? -- Rodhullandemu  (Talk) 23:11, 28 March 2008 (UTC)


 * No, it should just be "journalists", as I changed it back to say. "Some" is obfuscatory, because it's really just about all of them. But saying "all journalists" would also be technically incorrect. Perhaps "most journalists who have investigated the Church of Scientology" or something like that would work. This should be on the article talk page, by the way. -- Good Damon 23:14, 28 March 2008 (UTC)
 * OK, that's fine by me. I suppose "journalists" need not imply all of them. -- Rodhullandemu  (Talk) 23:17, 28 March 2008 (UTC)
