Can someone give me one or two (or several) of what you would consider a shining example of an Oregon city article? I want to try to make my edits consistent and make sure I'm not forgetting anything. Thanks bunches! Katr67 21:49, 14 June 2006 (UTC)

I did some work on Huntington and some of the things that link there. It still needs to be sourced. Katr67 20:16, 26 June 2006 (UTC)
Did some work on Powers, there's some more material that needs to be added. Katr67 09:07, 29 June 2006 (UTC)
I am trying to categorize some of these tiny places as I edit. Everyone seems to agree that an incorporated city should be in the Cities in Oregon category, and census-designated places should go into that category. Then we have "Towns in Oregon" and "Unincorporated communities in Oregon". It seems to me that the "towns" category could be eliminated since "unincorporated community" means the same thing. Opinions? Katr67 20:30, 17 June 2006 (UTC)
Well I've slowly been sorting our little localities into categories. I found Category:Towns in Missouri about the same thing in Missouri and they put a note on the top of Category: Towns in the United States. Seems like that's what Oregon should do too. How does one go about deleting and protecting a category page? Katr67 20:16, 26 June 2006 (UTC)
The category has been redirected. Can we blank or archive this discussion? Katr67 05:55, 13 July 2006 (UTC)
While looking for something else, I stumbled across this which asserts that the Oregon requirement for an incorporated city is "minimum population of 150" and that for a town is "the same as a city". By omission, this implies that Oregon doesn't recognize "villages", "boroughs", "hamlets", etc.—at least formally. — EncMstr 03:16, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

It's awfully quiet around here...
So I went through each county article and arranged all the communities into subsections (except for Yamhill, Clackamas, Washington and Multnomah--too scary for now) and tabulated some of the longer lists. I added a few redlinks when they already existed, and unlinked some (especially in
Tillamook County). If anybody feels like doing a sanity check on my work, that would be appreciated. Basically I'm trying to get rid of the generic (bot-produced?) heading "Cities and Towns" since technically there are no towns in Oregon (see above). That's my little soapbox--I hope that works for everyone. For future projects, besides writing more unincorporated community articles and making redirects where necessary, I'd like to make sure all the communities are in the List of Oregon cities and the List of Oregon ZIP Codes and the list in each respective county article. Anyway, besides trying to make all the articles read somewhat consistently, that's what I've been obsessing about. Happy editing!

I checked A, B, and M, and removed two entries. Will check more when I get back from Phoenix. Zab 06:21, 18 May 2007 (UTC)
Checked T, U, V, W, and Y. Will do C thru F in the morning. Zab 07:50, 18 May 2007 (UTC)
Checked C, D, E, and F. Removed one entry. Zab 06:59, 21 May 2007 (UTC)
I just did a bit of work on Cave Junction, Oregon and am wondering if anyone wants to team up on it. I've never really worked on city pages, but it's where I grew up so I figured I'd fix it up. I guess our example is Portland, Oregon, but it doesn't seem really relevant when working on a town of about 1,000 - Peregrine Fisher 07:25, 27 September 2007 (UTC)
We need to make pages for the major cities' neighborhoods. I know some of Portland's and Eugene's do have some but not all. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Gowilhi ( talk • contribs) 03:36, 21 March 2010 (UTC)
