Wikipedia:WikiProject Oregon/Collaboration

Goal
Collaborate on articles each week to improve key articles and further a sense of community at WPOR.
 * Currently: improve all Stub articles in the Top Importance category. All Stubs have been a COTW
 * Future: improve all Stub articles in the High Importance category, get all Top Importance articles to B class or better.
 * Work a B into a GA (This was done after the COTW for Barlow Road, Neil Goldschmidt, probably others...not sure if that counts! -Pete (talk) 02:57, 19 May 2008 (UTC)) Register Guard was almost entirely expanded during COTW drive, though! -Pete (talk) 17:33, 29 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Photograph drive done
 * Another photo drive, particularly of every little community in Oregon. Today (December 22, 2008) I count 836 regional and 91 non-regional photo requests.  Perhaps in the spring or summer?
