I've got Minto on my short list. I'm currently almost finished with an article on Jesse Applegate, and Lindsay Applegate needs an article too. Charles might not, but I've linked him in a couple places. I'll doublecheck my copy of Oregon Geographic Names for Breitenbusher, I'm pretty sure that's how it was spelled. I'm not sure he's particularly notable. I've noticed a lot of the pioneers had Liberty ships named after them as well, so that might be another source for ideas. Katr67 20:02, 6 December 2006 (UTC)
I was adding a list of Minto info I googled to the article's talk page, but my browser freaked out and I need to go eat lunch--I'll try to add more to the article later. Thanks for starting the article! I'm a much better wikignome than I am an instigator. Katr67 20:25, 9 February 2007 (UTC)
I've added the first stub from the book that lists the bios of every name (158 of 'em) painted in the House and Senate chambers at the Capitol. It's a tiny book, all these will need to be expanded. Many will, of course, already have articles. Katr67 05:42, 27 February 2007 (UTC)
I made a page that right now is just the people from the book who don't have articles: User talk:Katr67/List of Capitol names/Temp. It might be interesting to fill it out with the other 104 names. Some of the disambiguated links don't match what other people on the project have called them--I'm not attached to the way I've done them (feel free to edit the page), but let's make sure we communicate and fix redlinks if any of these folks get new articles.

Check out the list of notable Oregonians from the Oregon Blue Book: https://sos.oregon.gov/blue-book/Pages/explore-oregonians.aspx
I had planned to go through the list and make sure each of those people had an article. Katr67 20:02, 6 December 2006 (UTC)
Still a few redlinks there. Katr67 15:24, 6 March 2007 (UTC)
Came accross this from the Oregon Historical Society site. A lot of times their info does not come up in Google so there may be good info to use. Aboutmovies 04:51, 28 March 2007 (UTC)

Crazy/cool bot just took care of a bunch of our redlinks (see main subproject page). I did a bit to Sinnott, the rest probably need the same treatment--copyediting, wikification and tagging/assessment... Have fun! Katr67 22:11, 4 June 2007 (UTC)
Downloading is good of the Scott book, but just an FYI in regards to all the Google books you download: you only download an image based version so text search no longer works (though maybe non-free versions of Adobe allow search), so the table of contents is your main search weapon or pull it up on Google and search that way too. Also the Horner: Oregon: Her History Her Men book is there too. It has lots of pictures in it and is pre 1923 so all in the public domain. Aboutmovies 21:27, 11 June 2007 (UTC)
So, I think that collapsible sections are very useful for a wikiproject, esp. when there are long lists of things. However, I just noticed that the template I used is intended for archived discussions, so it puts an irrelevant and off-putting note at the top of each section. That's no good!
Curious what people think about the concept, in general. If you guys like it, I'll take a look around for a more appropriate template.
