Edit summaries
Hi there. When editing an article on Wikipedia there is a small field labeled "Edit summary" under the main edit-box. It looks like this: The text written here will appear on the Recent changes page, in the page revision history, on the diff page, and in the watchlists of users who are watching that article. See m:Help:Edit summary for full information on this feature.

Filling in the edit summary field greatly helps your fellow contributors in understanding what you changed, so please always fill in the edit summary field. If you are adding a section, please do not just keep the previous section's header in the Edit summary field – please fill in your new section's name instead. Thank you.

Greetings WikiProject Oregon peoples. It is once again time for another edition of the World Famous Collaboration Of The Week.

Nintendo task force membership
If you are not already aware, the Super Smash Bros. task force (formerly WikiForce Super Smash Bros.) has very recently been merged into the Nintendo task force (formerly WikiProject Nintendo). As a result, the memberlist of the old task force has been merged into the Nintendo task force's memberlist. In order to gauge who is still active and willing to participate actively in the Nintendo task force, I have placed all those members under the inactive participants list, which is located below the active participants list at WP:NIN.

If you wish to continue participation as a member of the Nintendo task force, then go to WikiProject Video games/Nintendo/left panel, remove your entry from the inactive list, and place your entry at the bottom of the active list. If you don't wish to be a member of the Nintendo task force, then simply remove your name from the list. One month from now, on May 16, 2009, all remaining entries on the inactive list will be removed. Thank you, MuZemike 15:09, 16 April 2009 (UTC)

So, thank you to all those who helped improve Central Oregon and Mount Jefferson, as well as those who added infoboxes and adopted a governor.

edit warring
Hello. On my talk page, you asked me to explain why I believe people think my edits are racist. The user:Baseball Bugs contacted me on my talk page telling me that substituting "black" for "African American" was "racial POV-pushing" and that it won't be tolerated. I'm angry at the user's use of political correctness. I hate political correctness. I also don't know what "racial POV-pushing" is, so I'm confused there. Referring to African Americans as "black" is not racist.

Cool Stuff Is Cool (talk) 22:32, 25 August 2009 (UTC)Cool Stuff Is Cool


 * Saying that you are "Racial POV-pushing" is hardly saying that what you are doing is racist, as you said. What he meant by "Racial POV-pushing" is that you are trying to push your opinion about being politically correctness on Wikipedia, which is not what this encyclopedia is for. If you want to spout off on how much you hate politically correctness, then go somewhere else to do it.--Henry  talk  23:43, 25 August 2009 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of LaMichael James


The article LaMichael James has been proposed for deletion&#32; because of the following concern:
 * Does not seem to meet WP:ATH as he has not won any major awards or made it the the NFL.

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the  notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing  will stop the Proposed Deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. The Speedy Deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and Articles for Deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. Mm40 (talk) 01:12, 27 September 2009 (UTC)

edit warring
You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war. Note that the three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions on a single page within a 24 hour period. Additionally, users who perform several reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. When in dispute with another editor you should first try to discuss controversial changes to work towards wording and content that gains a consensus among editors. Should that prove unsuccessful, you are encouraged to seek dispute resolution, and in some cases it may be appropriate to request page protection. Please stop the disruption, otherwise you may be blocked from editing. --- Barek (talk • contribs) - 00:46, 26 October 2009 (UTC)

For the final COTW of 2009, we have Archiving Article Talk Pages and Mr. Standard TV & Appliance, Bill Schonely.

Howdy WikiProject Oregon folks, time again for the latest installment of As the Collaboration Of The Week Turns. Last week was one of the more successful COTWs in recent memory as we really worked hard as a community to improve Concordia University and Berry Botanic Garden. Both are now at least C class articles and nicely illustrated (thanks to Tedder, Finetooth, and Ipoellet). Plus it really was a group effort as we had five different WPORE editors work on the garden and ditto with the school, with some overlap between the two.

Washington Huskies football
Hi Henry, I noticed that you've been having some trouble with editing some things on the Washington Huskies football page. Not sure if you're a regular contributor on that page, but I've made an edit there before citing some sources about how the Huskies officially have one national championship from the AP in 1991, and added a more citations needed box. All edits were reverted, without comment by user User:Pasadena91. I tried to start a dialogue but nothing happened. (That guy, btw, blanks his user talk page once in a while). I wasn't sure what else to do in my situation. I didn't want to just revert back and forth so I just stopped since I couldn't open any lines of communication anyway. Personally, I think some admins need to get in on that page but I don't know the proper procedures to do so. That page seems to get an unusually large amount of edit warriors. Well, I'm not sure this was really any help to you, but good luck in your edits there. That article needs it. Cluskillz (talk) 00:45, 16 February 2010 (UTC)

AfD nomination of Michael Dunigan
An editor has nominated one or more articles which you have created or worked on, for deletion. The nominated article is Michael Dunigan. We appreciate your contributions, but the nominator doesn't believe that the article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in his/her nomination (see also Notability and "What Wikipedia is not").

Your opinions on whether the article meets inclusion criteria and what should be done with the article are welcome; please participate in the discussion(s) by adding your comments to Articles for deletion/Michael Dunigan. Please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes ( ~ ).

You may also edit the article during the discussion to improve it but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion debate.

Please note: This is an automatic notification by a bot. I have nothing to do with this article or the deletion nomination, and can't do anything about it. --Erwin85Bot (talk) 01:03, 6 March 2010 (UTC)

Questions about Collaboration of the Week
Hi Henryodell, I am a PhD student from the Carnegie Mellon University. I am interested in the Wikipedia community, especially the mechanism of Collaboration of the Week. I noticed that you have participated in WikiProject Oregon’s collaborations before. Could you please take several minutes to answer five questions if possible? Thanks for your help!

1. How many times (approximately) have you participated in Wikiproject Oregon's Collaboration of the Week?

2. Why did you participate in the Collaboration of the Week?

3. Do you feel you become a better editor through participating in the collaborations? If so, could you provide some examples?

4. How did Collaboration of the Week change your behaviors (if any)? What caused the changes?

5. Are you still participating Wikiproject Oregon's collaboration of the week recently? Why?

You could leave your answers either in your or my talk page if possible. Thanks for your time! We have the same goal to make Wikipedia a better place.

WPORE COTW 2.0 - the picture edition
Greetings one and all. For some of you, this will be your first time receiving one of these messages, as it has been a year since the WikiProject Oregon Collaboration of the Week (COTW) was a regular thing. My hope is it gets back to being a regular thing.

Usually I would go over the past COTW, but we are basically starting out anew. So, without further adieu, this edition is our semi-annual picture drive. We usually try to do it when there is decent weather in the state, and today seems to fit the bill. Now although you are encouraged to go out and take pictures, you can also just search the internet for images that have the proper licensing and upload those. Flickr is one site that has a fair amount of content with the proper licensing (most images on Flickr are not compatible). See WP:COPYRIGHT in general. For some “free” sources, check out the our dormant subproject that has some links to sources.

Lastly, if you need to know what images we need, here are the requests. Please remove the request from the talk page if you add an image.

Finally (this is not image related), as the years have passed, we have lost many good editors, and others, like myself, are no longer in school or are working full-time or both, and thus are less active in the project. The project lives on, but it has created a bit of a power vacuum without a de facto cabal still around all the time. With that in mind, I encourage newer project members to step-up and fill some leadership type roles. Granted, we have no formal ruling junta or anything and no real defined roles, but there are many maintenance type tasks that some of us just took on to keep the project going. For instance, I ran the COTW, was pretty much the only one doing assessments, updating the portal, and even handing out the awards. I am sure others in the project can name what things they have done. The point being, that while I enjoyed those and still do some of those, I simply no longer have the free time to do all of it at a level that the project deserves. That said, I hope to start a discussion at WT:ORE where we can see if some newer editors would like to step-up and take on some of these tasks, which will hopefully make for a more inclusive project, and maybe get us back to the heyday of say 2008 when things were really rocking for WikiProject Oregon.

As always, please click here to opt out of these messages, or click here to make a suggestion for a future COTW. Aboutmovies (talk) 22:19, 23 April 2011 (UTC)

Get your cameras ready! Christmas in Oregon and PDX Pods
This month, WikiProject Oregon features two photo campaigns:

George Floyd protests
Thanks for your recent improvements to the page for Portland, Oregon. I'm not sure how closely you've been following the demonstrations and government response, but please let me know or post on the Talk page if you see any inaccuracies or neutrality concerns. I'm trying hard to keep the article up to date, but the more eyes the better. Thanks again! --- Another Believer ( Talk ) 17:55, 3 June 2020 (UTC)
