It Takes a Rim Village - Oregon COTW
Greetings WikiProject Oregon member, time for the next edition of the Collaboration of the Week. Thanks to those who assisted in improving a few articles over the last month. For May Day edition of the COTW (in Wikipedia time its May already), we have by request Rim Village Historic District and the Oregon Museum of Science and Industry (AKA OMSI). Rim Village just needs some refinement to get to GA, while OMSI needs a lot of work in general. As always, click here to opt out of these messages, or click here to make a suggestion for a future COTW. Adios (on May 5th that is). Aboutmovies (talk) 04:45, 1 May 2010 (UTC)

National Register lists in Oregon
I fail to understand your concerns. Most of these lists are woefully different from the standards set by every other list in the country, including names that are at variance with the actual National Register names; there are tons of formatting issues as well.

List of municipalities in California
What reference improvements are needed at List of municipalities in California?

P.S. You ought to update your user talk page editnotice and your user page now that you that you are once active again. --Stepheng3 (talk) 15:40, 4 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Regarding improvements to the list, I'll put something on the discussion page for that article. But as to my user page, I'm ambivalent. I never really intended to become active again, and I still think I'd prefer to not be. Clearly, however, the observable fact of the past week or so is otherwise. I'm psychologically resisting changing my user page unless I make the positive decision to be active again. But Wikipedia is addictive.... &mdash;–Ipoellet (talk) 16:40, 4 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Addictive, yes, in the sense of a psychological fixation. But there are far worse things in the world to be addicted.  With sympathy, --Stepheng3 (talk) 04:12, 10 October 2010 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Helen Swindells


The article Helen Swindells has been proposed for deletion because under Wikipedia policy, all biographies of living persons created after March 18, 2010, must have at least one source that directly supports material in the article.

If you created the article, please don't take offense. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, see Referencing for beginners or ask at Help desk. Once you have provided at least one reliable source, you may remove the prod blp tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced. If you cannot provide such a source within ten days, the article may be deleted, but you can when you are ready to add one. The-Pope (talk) 06:08, 20 November 2010 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Helen Swindells


A tag has been placed on Helen Swindells requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion, or "db", tag; if no such tag exists, then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hang-on tag is unnecessary), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. The-Pope (talk) 06:08, 20 November 2010 (UTC)
 * I have no issues with you recreating this as a redirect. The-Pope (talk) 16:33, 23 November 2010 (UTC)

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) 22:02, 23 April 2011 (UTC)

You are now an autopatroller
Hi Ipoellet, just wanted to let you know that I have added the autopatrolled right to your account, as you have created numerous, valid articles. This feature will have no effect on your editing, and is simply intended to reduce the workload on new page patrollers. For more information on the patroller right, see Autopatrolled. Feel free to leave me a message if you have any questions. Happy editing! Valfontis (talk) 21:42, 28 February 2012 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for April 29
Hi. When you recently edited National Register of Historic Places listings in Wasco County, Oregon, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Gymnasium (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ* Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, DPL bot (talk) 10:42, 29 April 2012 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for December 5
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited National Register of Historic Places listings in Oregon, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Broadway Bridge (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ* Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

A barnstar for you!

 * You are most welcome. Your contributions most certainly do not go unnoticed. -- Another Believer ( Talk ) 19:27, 21 March 2013 (UTC)
 * I second the motion. You've made significant recent improvements to the National Register of Historic Places listings in Jackson County, Oregon, as well. Finetooth (talk) 14:43, 22 March 2013 (UTC)

Richter Brewery
As a heads-up, the building labelled "Richter Brewery" is the office building associated with the brewery, and as far as I know is not on the NRHP. The Register-listed building is the brewery itself (aka the Delta Building) next door. Andrew Jameson (talk) 00:58, 21 April 2013 (UTC)

Coordinates
This is not a criticism or complaint, but for my edification can you please explain the reason for making edits like this? The coordinates weren't broken (didn't need "fixing") as far as I can see, and after your change to decimal format, they still display exactly the same way, and are actually slightly less precise (though certainly not enough to matter), now showing as "46°11′18″N 123°49′31″W" in place of "46°11′18.1″N 123°49′31.3″W". What's the point of changing them in the edit window? Do they display differently on your computer? You probably know a lot more about coordinates than I do, so if you can just enlighten me as to why this is somehow better, then I'll probably adopt the same format in my future editing. But, for now, I have no idea what is gained by edits like that one. SJ Morg (talk) 07:14, 26 April 2013 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the explanation left on my talk page. Your intentions were good, and I've no doubt that most of your "fix coordinates" edits really are doing that, since I am aware that there are many cases where the coordinates are off. I've fixed such errors when I've happened across them, when doing other editing to a given article, but it's not something I want to spend much time on, so I appreciate your working on this.  SJ Morg (talk) 07:32, 27 April 2013 (UTC)

Thanks
Thanks so much for all of your work related to National Register of Historic Places listings in Oregon. Well done! -- Another Believer ( Talk ) 13:39, 28 April 2013 (UTC)

Photo permission
I am writing a book about gardening in the Rocky Mountains, and I have a small section about state flowers. I was searching for photos of Mock-Orange and I came across one that was on your website and I was wondering if I could have permission to use it. There will be a credit on the photo in whatever name you'd like. Thank you! Sincerely, Nedra Secrist flowers@secristgardens.com This is the site where I found the image: http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Lewis%27s_Mock-orange_NFUW_-_Umatilla_NF_Oregon.jpg — Preceding unsigned comment added by Cassholbrook12 (talk • contribs) 20:21, 31 May 2013 (UTC)

Congrats on NE Portland
Just noticed that you completed the photos of the NRHP NE Portland list. Congrats!

I'll just note that SW Portland only has 7 missing photos, and then Portland will be complete. And that the rest of Multnomah (Multinomial?) County just has 13, and then the whole county will be complete.

Hopefully yours,
