Can someone who has time to do a couple minutes of research and a couple edits e-mail me so I can forward you some info on something on which I have COI? Broadly construed, it's military history. Valfontis ( talk) 21:56, 7 January 2015 (UTC)
I'll help update the mayors if you tell me where you'd like me to begin. Finetooth ( talk) 17:29, 13 January 2015 (UTC)

...ever heard of Palestine, Oregon? There was a placemarker sign (shown here) when I was a kid, but Google streetview shows it is currently removed (if I remember correctly and it was at the intersection of Oak Grove and Palestine northwest of Albany). If I get a copy of OGN I'll be sure to look that up as well. 78.26 ( spin me / revolutions) 20:41, 13 January 2015 (UTC)

Hey there! Thank you kindly for your note regarding my user name. Now, I have spent the last hour reading about how to change user names, how to manage my own page, and how to be a better editor. I would like to take you up on your offer to obtain a new username, but I cannot for the life of me figure out how to do so. I have read through the Wikipedia:Questions page but the answers seem to be eluding me. Do I have to specifically ask someone for a name change? Or is there a link which I can do this easily myself?
Thanks again for all of your assistance. — Preceding unsigned comment added by PWPLA02 ( talk • contribs) 18:59, 22 January 2015
Good sir, On the Merchant Hotel (Oregon) talk page I left a brief question about the name. Since then I found Merchants' Hotel at Warren Heywood Williams. Any thoughts? (Merchant's Hotel is not yet in use) Geirfuglasker ( talk) 02:54, 27 January 2015 (UTC)
This is rather hilarious. Apparently I'm a lunatic. You're welcome. Valfontis ( talk) 14:04, 31 January 2015 (UTC)
Valfontis -- I see you have made some recent edits to the article Aram Hampson. You removed a section of Aram Hampson#Early life stating that it was "unsourced". The original paragraph included: Hampson and his sister Githa Hampson are the only brother and sister to win multiple state championships in both cross-country and track and field. -- Removing it because it was "unsourced" is a poor excuse for the deletion of the sentence. I will be adding that sentence again when I find a source, which I know where to look for reliable sources. As much as I appreciate editors, this edit was unnecessary in my opinion. Regardless, CookieMonster755 (talk) 22:48, 1 February 2015 (UTC)
Dear Valfontis -- I am very sorry for not being civil and kind. I completely understand why the article Aram Hampson should be deleted. I know you said its not necessary to post on your Talk Page about this, but I felt like I was rude and wanted to send an apologie. Thank you for helping out Wikipedia. CookieMonster755 (talk) 05:23, 3 February 2015 (UTC)
Not a problem. I doubt I'm going to get around to all of it, at least not anytime soon, so feel free to pitch in where you can. - Kudzu1 ( talk) 06:15, 3 February 2015 (UTC)
I very much appreciate the details on Promise Oregon. MORBID curiosity, have you ever heard of, Old Glory Arizona??? (YUP, they had a post office as well) I plan to write it up soon, BUT I thought, Old Glory is just a great place name. I am most proud of Sweet Lips Tennessee.......

Why have you removed the link to portraits? I read Lena Hades said she had a correspondence with him http://www.liveinternet.ru/community/lj_lena_hades/post321409656/ The portraits are excellent indeed Chuangzi ( talk) — Preceding undated comment added 17:07, 8 February 2015 (UTC)

Are you planning to start a page for Oregon Government Ethics Commission? I noticed you added the redlink to Mike Nearman. - Kudzu1 ( talk) 00:42, 14 February 2015 (UTC)
Hi, Valfontis! I just reverted another IP edit at Bobbi Kristina. I think it's time for semiprotection but I'm away from my computer and have no tools on this account. Can you handle it? If not I can do it a couple of hours from now. Thanks. MelanieN alt ( talk) 03:14, 20 February 2015 (UTC)
Should this one be renamed Williams Avenue to conform to the other streets in the Portland Streets category and template? If it needs a new name please fix it, and by extension if the article has deeper, more troublesome issues please advise. Geirfuglasker ( talk) 07:55, 22 February 2015 (UTC)
![]() | On 24 February 2015, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Blalock, Oregon, which you recently created or substantially expanded. The fact was ... that Blalock, Oregon, was inundated by rising waters after the John Day Dam was constructed? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Blalock, Oregon. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page ( here's how, live views, daily totals), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page. |

Hello Valfontis. You are sure quick to judge. Senate bills are not notable? What a joke. Explain this:
and there are a lot of other bills on this Wikipedia, and if bills are not notable, you better delete all of them, you Smart aleck!

I am not sure why now (and I am not going to go back over my interaction with Kbabej to work it out), but I had assumed that Kbabej was female. Given the amount of young (and not so young) testosterone in the air around ANI, I sympathise with (although do not condone) anyone who states "I created a new account to report another user for disruptive editing, believing that I would be harassed after the report" (21:46, 12 February 2015), and if Kbabej was socking for the first time then I would have supported a warning with or without a short block (as was administered by Salvio giuliano on 16 March 2014). But the quote I gave on Kbabej's talk page puts this second bout of socking in a whole different category as I implied in my posting to Kbabej's talk page. -- PBS ( talk) 11:39, 17 March 2015 (UTC)
I know Kbabej in "real life" and need to investigate further why this individual's account was blocked. --- Another Believer ( Talk) 20:22, 21 March 2015 (UTC)
Good to know. How interesting that there is a university NRHP District. We'll have to track down the NRHP nomination form and see which sites are included, then add then appropriate existing articles to WikiProject NRHP so they can keep an eye on their progress as well. I went to both U of O and OSU the other day for Wikipedia presentations, which went well. It was my first time to OSU and a did a little exploring, hence the new articles. :) --- Another Believer ( Talk) 20:21, 21 March 2015 (UTC)
Hi, Valfontis. Regarding your edit in Sherman Skolnick, the anti-Catholic bit is a bit over the top but it appears as though the CT label has been applied by many others. I've included three academic sources that refer to it.( diff) Feel free to edit it as you see fit. Cheers! - Location ( talk) 00:05, 3 April 2015 (UTC)

The Z. Vanessa Helder article is great! I create a stub for her last year which got promptly deleted. Had I put as much effort as you into the article, however, I'm sure it wouldn't have been. vr rm 17:39, 12 April 2015 (UTC) |
Thanks vr rm and Valfontis! Thinking of doing an Yvonne Twining Humber article next. It's been fun for me learning about great regional artists other than the famous Northwest Mystics and Asian-American artists (as much as I like them, too). Tomseattle ( talk) 15:54, 19 April 2015 (UTC)
Took a break from Portland sculptures to add Covered Wagon to the project. I'll have to create another for the L&C/Sacajawea relief on the other side of the main entrance and then see what other Salem sculptures need articles. These sorts of articles are pretty easy to promote to GA status since there is only so much info about outdoor sculptures. Enjoy! --- Another Believer ( Talk) 14:46, 22 April 2015 (UTC)
