Happy New COTW
Greetings from WikiProject Oregon’s Collaboration of the Week. First off, thank you to everyone who has done work the last few weeks on the last two COTWs. This week we have by request Oregon and California Railroad, part of the lands involved in the Oregon Land Fraud Scandal. Then as part of the Stub elimination drive, we have longtime politician Grattan Kerans, which hopefully can be turned into a nice DYK entry. As always, click here to opt out of these messages, or click here to make a suggestion for a future COTW. Aboutmovies (talk) 10:24, 11 January 2009 (UTC)

RS/N
Hi GD, I feel the Wikinews link in the main body of the article is overkill. The main article should be based on reliable sources; Wikinews does not qualify as such. Remember that we have sisterlinks at the bottom of the article, where they are appropriate. I've started a section at RS/N to get wider input. Perhaps I am being overly strict.

 * It could certainly be moved, but it definitely doesn't belong at RS/N, because it's not being used as a "reliable source" for any statement of fact. It's an interwiki link to a news article related to the Wikipedia article's topic. You'll find thousands like it all over the encyclopedia. -- Good Damon 16:57, 29 January 2009 (UTC)

Museums & Prisons COTW
Howdy to all those in WikiProject Oregon land! To start, thanks to those who helped improve Grattan Kerans and Oregon and California Railroad as part of the Collaboration of the Week. This week we’ll try and start some new articles with a red link elimination drive on a couple of Oregon lists. So, you have your pick of prisons, or museums.
