Stub? Which article did you mean? Daniel Case ( talk) 18:18, 26 April 2010 (UTC)
I can easily move it up to start-class, but having done so much work on it as I have I do not feel comfortable making any further increases. So, I'll have to ask someone else, further delaying this.
Where and how did this rule get created that the assessment on the talk page is controlling? I do not remember ever going by it when I reviewed DYKs more actively. It defies sense, and you'd do well to ignore it. Daniel Case ( talk) 18:42, 26 April 2010 (UTC)
Thanks much for the barnstar and kind words. I got really lucky on my Rogue photo trip. We had three days of clear skies or skies with just enough clouds to be interesting, and I was able to get photos from Grants Pass to within 10 miles or so of Crater Lake. The people at Union Creek Resort said they hadn't had such good weather since last fall. I compiled a list of photo ops in my little black book before I made the trip; it included some National Register of Historic Places buildings in Gold Hill and elsewhere along the way, and I haven't uploaded those yet. I took something like 400 photos, and I'm slowly working my way through the pile, picking out the best ones in each group. I hope you noticed that I added your photo of Mount McLoughlin to the "Watershed" section of the Rogue article. I first saw it when I was reviewing Big Butte Creek and just after I had added mention of the mountain as the highest point in the Rogue watershed. I'm not quite sure yet which photos will end up in the comprehensive version of the article, so if you have any you think might be appropriate, please upload them to the Commons in the Rogue River, Oregon, category. Any suggestions about how to improve the article would be welcome as well. After I fiddle with a few more photos, I think it'll be almost ready to go to PR.

Your note to me this morning was my first inkling that the article had been promoted. Finetooth ( talk) 17:26, 22 May 2010 (UTC)

Hello. Your account has been granted the "reviewer" userright, allowing you to to review other users' edits on certain flagged pages. Pending changes, also known as flagged protection, will be commencing a a two-month trial at approximately 23:00, 2010 June 15 (UTC).
Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not autoconfirmed to articles placed under flagged protection. Flagged protection is applied to only a small number of articles, similarly to how semi-protection is applied but in a more controlled way for the trial.
When reviewing, edits should be accepted if they are not obvious vandalism or BLP violations, and not clearly problematic in light of the reason given for protection (see Wikipedia:Reviewing process). More detailed documentation and guidelines can be found here.
If you do not want this userright, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. Karanacs ( talk) 17:33, 15 June 2010 (UTC)Thanks for checking it! Dincher ( talk) 00:29, 3 July 2010 (UTC)
Congrats on the FA star for Chetco River. You are on a roll. Finetooth ( talk) 04:27, 3 July 2010 (UTC)
Just noticed it a minute ago. You solved a problem I couldn't solve in April when I walked through the woods to the edge of the no-trespassing zone west of the dam. I took photos, but they were too boring to use. The one you took from the air really shows what it looks like. Finetooth ( talk) 22:25, 3 July 2010 (UTC)

I added specific information to the Roxy Ann Peak page recently, mainly because when I first hiked it I missed the tower road that reached the top of the mountain because it was an offshoot that I missed. You recently removed it. I called the parks dept today, and they said the road that leads to the peak is part of the park. It is closed off to vehicles, but not to people as you can simply walk around or over the gate. There is no sign that says it is closed to hikers. And there are signs that direct you to viewpoints along tower road. This area contains some of the best views of the area, so I wanted to include it on the page. Additionally, the elevation profile and map that I link to are GPS-derived, and are completely accurate, as is the nearby weather information, photos and directions to the site.
I would like to add these back to the wiki page to assist others who want to hike this peak. I hope it meets credibility requirements. Is this okay with you? Thanks for your time...if you need to respond my user id is Nsk3179.

Thanks, that sounds good to me. The main reason I put the link on there is because google maps won't show up as an image on the wiki page. Let me know if you know how to add this. I'll likely add the profile image so people can get a good idea of the relative steepness of the various parts of the trail, along with the total hike distance. Also, I may add another view to the images. Just curious...why would the site go under "external links" vs. "websites"?

Thanks for the kind words. Oregon streams are getting their fair share of attention. We must be fond of water. Finetooth ( talk) 03:06, 16 August 2010 (UTC)
I like this graph ( File:Largest US cities graph.png) but it's hard to see the differences between the smaller cities. A log plot would solve the problem nicely.-- Louiedog ( talk) 03:53, 17 August 2010 (UTC)

<font=3> Want something to do this weekend? I propose a WikiProject Oregon weekend photo blitz! Let's try to fill up the
List of parks in Portland, Oregon as much as possible by getting out and taking our own pictures or finding ones online that can be uploaded to Wikimedia Commons. The pictures uploaded will not only benefit the aforementioned list, but they will be used for future articles about specific parks and will fill up the
Parks in Portland category over at Commons. Get your cameras ready! |

Thanks for your timely updates to the Gold Ray Dam saga. I had noticed the lawsuit filing but missed the judge's decision, and I was completely unaware of the beaver dam incident. The news stories were fun to read. I hope the fish and the beaver come through this OK. Finetooth ( talk) 16:07, 19 August 2010 (UTC)

Bless you. That's it. I looked and looked, but for some reason could not find an RS for the basin size. The federal agriculture department lumps the South Fork and the upper main stem together, and I was loathe to estimate what fraction belonged to the South Fork. As for the Illinois, I sourced the 60 miles to the John Shewey fishing book. I think the fishing books (Shewey and Sheehan) are OK as reliable sources, but I doubt that the precise length matters much in the context of a fishing guide. Better would be a government number, if I could find one. Thanks a bunch for solving one of the remaining knotty problems with this list. Any suggestions about how to improve the list would be welcome. It's not quite done yet, but I won't have any trouble finishing the source elevation column or the "Remarks" column. All of the sources for the list will come in handy for anyone working on the individual stream articles, I think, since many contain data about things other than length and basin size.
