Successfully uploaded my first pic today, and put it on the page where it was needed. (a) Did I specify things in the upload properly? Any comments? (b) The Kenny & Zuke's Delicatessen page now looks weird with the image. I'm obviously not including it correctly. Can you fix so I can see what I should have done? tedder ( talk) 06:54, 1 May 2009 (UTC)

Do you have WP:RS sources for these unsourced changes you added back into the article [1] ? Can you please add back in the sourced material that was inappropriately removed? Thank you, Cirt ( talk) 20:47, 6 May 2009 (UTC)
I apologize if I came across a bit strong. I had actually discussed with Peteforsyth ( talk · contribs) that the user's first action after their block expired was to continue the same exact pattern of WP:SPA WP:COI behavior of introducing unsourced material while simultaneously removing sourced information. Peteforsyth ( talk · contribs) said it was okay to revert the WP:SPA's edit as vandalism. Of course these changes can be discussed and hopefully implemented to update the article - I just don't see why we should do so in an unsourced manner from a conflict of interest source, while simultaneously permitting the removal of sourced info. Again I apologize for the miscommunication. Cirt ( talk) 20:59, 6 May 2009 (UTC)
Cirt and Katr, much of this was my fault. Cirt asked my advice through email, and I provided advice without looking at the most recent edits, encouraging him to revert that edit. I think that's the point where the whole situation headed south, and I feel bad about it -- since I didn't have time to properly review the situation, I should have refrained from advising anyone else, and left it up to my capable WP:ORE colleagues. I think the content is on the right track now, thanks to you guys, not to me.
I'll reach out to the Portland Monthly editor, too. - Pete ( talk) 18:14, 7 May 2009 (UTC)
Hi Katr. I posted a short reply to Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Oregon#Date formatting in citations yesterday in response to your note. Today, I'm having second thoughts because the user who changed the gnis template in Tryon Creek appears to be changing these templates globally or at least widely. In addition to changing the date formatting, the change is deleting the publication dates from the gnis citations. I've written to User:Droll this morning to explain the situation. See User talk:Droll#Recent changes to gnis template to see the message. I don't know what Droll will say, but the thought of having to change hundreds of m-d-y dates to yyyy-mm-dd and to hunt down and re-insert publication dates to accommodate a new template doesn't make me happy. As far as yyyy-mm-dd goes, the ISBN thing and the button thing don't quite do it for me despite what I said two days ago. Flip. Flop. Finetooth ( talk) 17:53, 7 May 2009 (UTC)
I know you were looking at the Clatskanie HS article (and thanks for work on moving/renaming). Can you look at it again and let me know what you think? I.e., are the events listed all encyclopedic enough? Can you help me with a DYK on it? tedder ( talk) 19:32, 14 May 2009 (UTC)
Howdy,
Where is Big Sandy, Oregon?
I was watching Bonanza today and in the episode "The Beginnings", they talked about Big Sandy, Oregon. Sure enough I searched the Internet and there are letters from the 1850s & 1860s from Big Sandy, Oregon. The natural jump would be to think Sandy, but I can't find a reference.
Do you have any ideas?
> Best O Fortuna ( talk) 23:01, 19 May 2009 (UTC)
(unindent) Yes, looks like Big Sandy, Oregon is present-day Big Sandy, Wyoming. Here's a Google map from South Pass to Big Sandy, WY. And in 1858, when at least one of the narratives was written, it still would have been in the Oregon Territory, judging by the map. Now all we need to do is make an article on the Wyoming place and redirect the Oregon place there. :) Thanks, that was fun to figure out. Katr67 ( talk) 16:23, 20 May 2009 (UTC)

In honor of the great weather, we have our Semi-annual Great Oregon Picture Drive for this week’s collaboration.

Why did you remove Floater from the Portland page? They are a very popular independent band of Portland and should be mentioned in that section. Not mentioning them, is like ignoring the elephant in the room. Bias via omission? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.220.115.10 ( talk) 22:46, 29 May 2009 (UTC)
(unindent) Possibly: See WP:DEADHORSE. But, hey my friend, you're entitled to feel however you want. For my part, I've taken Music of Oregon off by watchlist. Be BOLD! Delete the entire lede except the Floater stuff if you want to. I won't have any input on any Floater-related content anymore. If you need help, check in with WikiProject Oregon.

Hello to members of the WikiProject o' Oregon. Once again it is time for the Collaboration Of The Week. A thank you to everyone who participated in the Semi-annual Great Oregon Picture Drive, we added a lot of pictures. For this edition we have by request Mr. Maurice Lucas of the Blazers, and a maintenance type project with the Dab Patrol.

It looks like you may know the location of the the North Fork Yachats River Covered Bridge! I looked for a source back when I was "coordinating" List of Oregon covered bridges but couldn't find one. Do you know if it is here? Yep, it's just a bunch of treetops, but zoom out, etc. to see if that's where you were. Flip to topomap mode to see why that's my guess. — EncMstr ( talk) 01:00, 9 June 2009 (UTC)
Okay, you are right, of course :-) It still looks awkward, though. What about changing it so it reads "The post office in Redland was established"? Seeing "Redland post office" just looks like it needs to be corrected to "Redland's post office", even though that's incorrect. (and yes, I'm a geek, so I put punctuation outside of quotes) tedder ( talk) 06:03, 11 June 2009 (UTC)

You are invited to join WikiProject Cannabis, a WikiProject dedicated to improving articles related to Cannabis. You received this invitation because of your history editing articles related to the plant. The WikiProject Cannabis group discussion is here. If you are interested in joining, please visit the project page, and add your name to the list of participants. |
From one WikiProject Oregon member to another, I thought I would send you this invitation. I am not sure if you worked on the Cannabis in Oregon article only for being related to Oregon, or if you are interested in cannabis-related material too, but I wanted to let you know about this new WikiProject just in case. The purpose of this new group is to improve articles relating to cannabis, including drug policy, cultural aspects, legislation, activists, strains, organizations, medical benefits, decriminalization, effects, etc.
Also, this brand new project is in need of expert assistance. If you are familiar with upgrading WikiProjects to include assessments, Collaborations of the Week, Recent Talk/Changes pages, DYK and Awards sections, templates/infoboxes, etc., feel free to offer any help you can!
If you are not interested, no problem--keep up the great work at WikiProject Oregon, and best wishes! -- Another Believer ( Talk) 01:40, 13 June 2009 (UTC)
I'll add this to my to-do list. You were very brave to tackle the whole pile of unincorporated communities, and I decided quite a while ago that you were the expert on this subject. I've wondered if any collection of houses in the woods counts as an unincorporated community. There seem to be many small clusters of buildings along remote streams. Could I call Marial, Oregon, which used to have a post office but which now may have only a lodge, an unincorporated community? By the way, I just nominated Illahe, Oregon, for a DYK. Having been flummoxed a couple of times by the instructions, I haven't been diligent about DYK noms. I used the boat-mule angle for a hook. Maybe this one will work. Finetooth ( talk) 18:43, 17 June 2009 (UTC)
What's the reasoning for removing "locmapin = Oregon" and just leaving it as "locmapin ="? It's hard to tell with an editsummary of 'tidy'? I'm sure it's correct, I'm just curious. tedder ( talk) 04:59, 19 June 2009 (UTC)

Do you have opinions on Columbia Christian Schools#Future? I removed some of it, it was added back. There are no reliable sources to back it up. It's interesting, but seems borderline encyclopedic.

Hey Katr! So, I just was wondering why you removed the information I put on the Jean Baptiste page about Colin Sargent's fiction book that is based on fact about his life. I've read the book, and I know that even though it is fiction it does provide a great insight into his life. I would like to be able to keep that post up on that page to help people that enjoy reading fiction works on people's lives. Thanks so much, Mtwomey08 ( talk) 14:09, 27 July 2009 (UTC)
I have several photos of The Flour Mill or "The Mill" as we like to call it. Both inside and out. The Mill is currently for sale by owner. All pictures are mine, I took them myself so there would not be any copy right problems - I, as well as Smiley_12_91, live in The Mill. We have a lot a historical information that was provided to us the the time of purchase. If you have any questions that I might be able to answer please feel free to ask. I might be able to scan some old photos we have, but I am not sure if there would be any copy right problems with that - the photo came from the historical society.

Katr67, thank you for providing oversight on this article and your efforts to insure that the article complies with Wikipedia's guidelines which I am still learning.
I apologize for your having to correct the capitalization on the King Estate Winery article multiple times. I am new to editing wikipedia and obviously have made a few mistakes while getting acclimated. Why is it that you capitalize "Pinot" but not "Gris" or "Noir" that doesn't make sense to me, either Pinot Gris is a proper noun or it isn't but it can't be half a proper noun. As far as I know there is no actual authoritative guidelines on whether or not Pinot Gris or Pinot Noir should be capitalized in that fashion or not, it is typically considered a matter of preference, but I've never seen "Pinot gris" used due to the inconsistency (except as the beginning of a new sentence when someone is choosing to go lowercase).
I notice that you or someone has noted that the article has a "major contributor with a conflict of interest". Can you help me out and explain what needs to be done in order to assuage those concerns? Almost every single sentence in the article is cited with a highly credible source. In most cases the leading journalists in the wine industry are being cited. These sources are widely accepted as authorities on the matter.
Thank you again for your input, and thanks in advance for any guidance you are able to provide.

If you are looking for a good DYK opportunity, see Frenchglen Hotel State Heritage Site.

Hey Katr67, sorry about my comments that clearly went over the line on Chaba River & especially Talk:Chaba River. I guess I shouldn't let my temper get the best of me. As for that Insert Insult Here thing I posted, that was extremely inflammatory & should never have been posted. I will take full responsibility for it.
There was a reason behind my angry rants though. I was getting really pissed off at the fact that that page seemed to be a party house for any IP users looking to vandalize Wikipedia. The comment that "this page seems to attract a lot of REALLY STUPID PEOPLE" was referring to the numerous IP's that were trying to make a mockery of the page & Wikipedia in general; especially that identifying information redacted like you said "he should find something better to do than vandalize Wikipedia."
Anyhow, my second approach is going to be a little less attacking. Why don't we put a lock on the page? Locks are put on pages that are constantly vandalized. If we put a lock on it, all the vandalism will disappear. What do you think of that? Cheers AndrewEnns ( talk) 18:15, 30 July 2009 (UTC)

Howdy after a long message absence to those of WikiProject Oregon. To answer a common question, no you did not get removed from the COTW notification list, I was just too busy to send out the notification for the last change.

Hello Katr,
I hear your concern. I will take action to not be in conflict. If you are willing to read my experience: I have an appreciation for your edits on wikipedia especially when you were able to help me with the Lost Valley article. I have appreciated learning from other editors and observing how they handle conflicts and use wikipedia tools like templates and hatnotes, by example. It is of course good for me to see that you have verbalized a request. Seeing requests on the project page seems less helpful to my learning how to edit wikipedia effectively rather than seeing actions performed by editors, but I see and appreciate your perception, will honor you request, but will not be watching the project page as it doesn't seem to fulfill my goals, (as I understand how project pages function). I thank you for the suggestion and apologize for any perceived rudeness for my part. Peace, rkmlai ( talk) 05:52, 17 August 2009 (UTC)
I saw the comment that you left on my talk page (I'm not sure what to call it - correct me if I use any incorrect terminology). I actually have experience and know about how the school works and about student life. I don't really know how to cite experience, if it is even possible on Wikipedia. Also, do you live in Oregon ? (I saw all of the notes on your talk page while I was trying to figure out how to post a comment). If experience is not citable inform me. However, I think that the page before I changed it also had a few stuff that were not on the website cited. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Mellivora ( talk • contribs) 03:23, 18 August 2009 (UTC)

Successfully uploaded my first pic today, and put it on the page where it was needed. (a) Did I specify things in the upload properly? Any comments?

Do you have WP:RS sources for these unsourced changes you added back into the article [1] ? Can you please add back in the sourced material that was inappropriately removed? Thank you, Cirt ( talk) 20:47, 6 May 2009 (UTC)
I apologize if I came across a bit strong. I had actually discussed with Peteforsyth ( talk · contribs) that the user's first action after their block expired was to continue the same exact pattern of WP:SPA WP:COI behavior of introducing unsourced material while simultaneously removing sourced information. Peteforsyth ( talk · contribs) said it was okay to revert the WP:SPA's edit as vandalism. Of course these changes can be discussed and hopefully implemented to update the article - I just don't see why we should do so in an unsourced manner from a conflict of interest source, while simultaneously permitting the removal of sourced info. Again I apologize for the miscommunication. Cirt ( talk) 20:59, 6 May 2009 (UTC)
Cirt and Katr, much of this was my fault. Cirt asked my advice through email, and I provided advice without looking at the most recent edits, encouraging him to revert that edit. I think that's the point where the whole situation headed south, and I feel bad about it -- since I didn't have time to properly review the situation, I should have refrained from advising anyone else, and left it up to my capable WP:ORE colleagues. I think the content is on the right track now, thanks to you guys, not to me.
I'll reach out to the Portland Monthly editor, too. - Pete ( talk) 18:14, 7 May 2009 (UTC)
Hi Katr. I posted a short reply to Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Oregon#Date formatting in citations yesterday in response to your note. Today, I'm having second thoughts because the user who changed the gnis template in Tryon Creek appears to be changing these templates globally or at least widely. In addition to changing the date formatting, the change is deleting the publication dates from the gnis citations. I've written to User:Droll this morning to explain the situation. See User talk:Droll#Recent changes to gnis template to see the message. I don't know what Droll will say, but the thought of having to change hundreds of m-d-y dates to yyyy-mm-dd and to hunt down and re-insert publication dates to accommodate a new template doesn't make me happy. As far as yyyy-mm-dd goes, the ISBN thing and the button thing don't quite do it for me despite what I said two days ago. Flip. Flop. Finetooth ( talk) 17:53, 7 May 2009 (UTC)
I know you were looking at the Clatskanie HS article (and thanks for work on moving/renaming). Can you look at it again and let me know what you think? I.e., are the events listed all encyclopedic enough? Can you help me with a DYK on it? tedder ( talk) 19:32, 14 May 2009 (UTC)
Howdy,
Where is Big Sandy, Oregon?
I was watching Bonanza today and in the episode "The Beginnings", they talked about Big Sandy, Oregon. Sure enough I searched the Internet and there are letters from the 1850s & 1860s from Big Sandy, Oregon. The natural jump would be to think Sandy, but I can't find a reference.
Do you have any ideas?
> Best O Fortuna ( talk) 23:01, 19 May 2009 (UTC)
(unindent) Yes, looks like Big Sandy, Oregon is present-day Big Sandy, Wyoming. Here's a Google map from South Pass to Big Sandy, WY. And in 1858, when at least one of the narratives was written, it still would have been in the Oregon Territory, judging by the map. Now all we need to do is make an article on the Wyoming place and redirect the Oregon place there. :) Thanks, that was fun to figure out. Katr67 ( talk) 16:23, 20 May 2009 (UTC)

Why did you remove Floater from the Portland page? They are a very popular independent band of Portland and should be mentioned in that section.

It looks like you may know the location of the the North Fork Yachats River Covered Bridge! I looked for a source back when I was "coordinating" List of Oregon covered bridges but couldn't find one.

Okay, you are right, of course :-) It still looks awkward, though. What about changing it so it reads "The post office in Redland was established"? Seeing "Redland post office" just looks like it needs to be corrected to "Redland's post office", even though that's incorrect.

You are invited to join WikiProject Cannabis, a WikiProject dedicated to improving articles related to Cannabis. You received this invitation because of your history editing articles related to the plant. The WikiProject Cannabis group discussion is here. If you are interested in joining, please visit the project page, and add your name to the list of participants. |
From one WikiProject Oregon member to another, I thought I would send you this invitation. I am not sure if you worked on the Cannabis in Oregon article only for being related to Oregon, or if you are interested in cannabis-related material too, but I wanted to let you know about this new WikiProject just in case. The purpose of this new group is to improve articles relating to cannabis, including drug policy, cultural aspects, legislation, activists, strains, organizations, medical benefits, decriminalization, effects, etc.
Also, this brand new project is in need of expert assistance. If you are familiar with upgrading WikiProjects to include assessments, Collaborations of the Week, Recent Talk/Changes pages, DYK and Awards sections, templates/infoboxes, etc., feel free to offer any help you can!
If you are not interested, no problem--keep up the great work at WikiProject Oregon, and best wishes! -- Another Believer ( Talk) 01:40, 13 June 2009 (UTC)
I'll add this to my to-do list. You were very brave to tackle the whole pile of unincorporated communities, and I decided quite a while ago that you were the expert on this subject. I've wondered if any collection of houses in the woods counts as an unincorporated community. There seem to be many small clusters of buildings along remote streams. Could I call Marial, Oregon, which used to have a post office but which now may have only a lodge, an unincorporated community? By the way, I just nominated Illahe, Oregon, for a DYK. Having been flummoxed a couple of times by the instructions, I haven't been diligent about DYK noms. I used the boat-mule angle for a hook. Maybe this one will work.

Hey Katr! So, I just was wondering why you removed the information I put on the Jean Baptiste page about Colin Sargent's fiction book that is based on fact about his life.

We have a lot a historical information that was provided to us the the time of purchase. If you have any questions that I might be able to answer please feel free to ask. I might be able to scan some old photos we have, but I am not sure if there would be any copy right problems with that - the photo came from the historical society.

Katr67, thank you for providing oversight on this article and your efforts to insure that the article complies with Wikipedia's guidelines which I am still learning.
I apologize for your having to correct the capitalization on the King Estate Winery article multiple times. I am new to editing wikipedia and obviously have made a few mistakes while getting acclimated. Why is it that you capitalize "Pinot" but not "Gris" or "Noir" that doesn't make sense to me, either Pinot Gris is a proper noun or it isn't but it can't be half a proper noun. As far as I know there is no actual authoritative guidelines on whether or not Pinot Gris or Pinot Noir should be capitalized in that fashion or not, it is typically considered a matter of preference, but I've never seen "Pinot gris" used due to the inconsistency (except as the beginning of a new sentence when someone is choosing to go lowercase).
I notice that you or someone has noted that the article has a "major contributor with a conflict of interest". Can you help me out and explain what needs to be done in order to assuage those concerns? Almost every single sentence in the article is cited with a highly credible source. In most cases the leading journalists in the wine industry are being cited. These sources are widely accepted as authorities on the matter.
Thank you again for your input, and thanks in advance for any guidance you are able to provide.

Hey Katr67, sorry about my comments that clearly went over the line on Chaba River & especially Talk:Chaba River. I guess I shouldn't let my temper get the best of me. As for that Insert Insult Here thing I posted, that was extremely inflammatory & should never have been posted. I will take full responsibility for it.
There was a reason behind my angry rants though. I was getting really pissed off at the fact that that page seemed to be a party house for any IP users looking to vandalize Wikipedia. The comment that "this page seems to attract a lot of REALLY STUPID PEOPLE" was referring to the numerous IP's that were trying to make a mockery of the page & Wikipedia in general; especially that identifying information redacted like you said "he should find something better to do than vandalize Wikipedia."
Anyhow, my second approach is going to be a little less attacking. Why don't we put a lock on the page? Locks are put on pages that are constantly vandalized. If we put a lock on it, all the vandalism will disappear. What do you think of that? Cheers AndrewEnns ( talk) 18:15, 30 July 2009 (UTC)

Hello Katr,
I hear your concern. I will take action to not be in conflict. If you are willing to read my experience: I have an appreciation for your edits on wikipedia especially when you were able to help me with the Lost Valley article. I have appreciated learning from other editors and observing how they handle conflicts and use wikipedia tools like templates and hatnotes, by example. It is of course good for me to see that you have verbalized a request. Seeing requests on the project page seems less helpful to my learning how to edit wikipedia effectively rather than seeing actions performed by editors, but I see and appreciate your perception, will honor you request, but will not be watching the project page as it doesn't seem to fulfill my goals, (as I understand how project pages function). I thank you for the suggestion and apologize for any perceived rudeness for my part. Peace, rkmlai ( talk) 05:52, 17 August 2009 (UTC)
I saw the comment that you left on my talk page (I'm not sure what to call it - correct me if I use any incorrect terminology). I actually have experience and know about how the school works and about student life. I don't really know how to cite experience, if it is even possible on Wikipedia. Also, do you live in Oregon ? (I saw all of the notes on your talk page while I was trying to figure out how to post a comment). If experience is not citable inform me.
