[edit] Boring

Where did you get the idea TriMet didn't go to Boring?

I'm wondering if I'm missing something, or if it's you. See TriMet.

We should write a book - "When Great Transit Minds Collide"... -Nick

[edit] Images

Hello again, Recently I have been replacing my photos on English Wikipedia with full sized versions on Wikimedia Commons and I'd like to ask you to consider doing the same. The Portland Category would be significantly improved with your photos. Cacophony 02:50, 10 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Image Tagging Image:Washington park MAX-plz.jpg

Warning sign
This image may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading Image:Washington park MAX-plz.jpg. I notice the image page currently doesn't specify who created the image, so the copyright status is therefore unclear. If you have not created the image yourself then you need to argue that we have the right to use the image on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the image yourself then you should also specify where you found it, i.e., in most cases link to the website where you got it, and the terms of use for content from that page.

If the image also doesn't have a copyright tag then you must also add one. If you created/took the picture then you can use {{GFDL}} to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the image qualifies as fair use, please read fair use, and then use a tag such as {{fairusein|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair_use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other images, please check that you have specified their source and copyright tagged them, too. You can find a list of image pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any unsourced and untagged images will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you.

I would like to see some sort of collaboration or cohesion with respect to the Oregon Wikiproject so that we can see some sort of progress toward a goal. Please give suggestions on the talk page. PDXblazers 20:02, 8 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] WP:WPOR : Oregon

Thanks for being a part of Wikipedia:WikiProject Oregon. Our first article we'll be improving to FAC status is, oddly enough, Oregon!

[edit] WP:WPOR infoboxes

I like what you have been doing improving the infoboxes for Oregon cities, thank you! I have kind of managed to screw up the seal on the Medford, Oregon articles, if you can tinker and see if you might be able to fix it, it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you! PDXblazers 05:04, 18 May 2006 (UTC)


If that is the case, scrap the Medford seal unless you should hear something from the city PDXblazers 23:58, 18 May 2006 (UTC)


[edit] Infoboxes

Thanks for starting the cities subproject. I am currently working on adding infoboxes to many cities as well. Hopefully, we can get it so all Oregon cities have infoboxes! PDXblazers 04:20, 24 May 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for all your hard work on the infoboxes! Katr67 03:12, 13 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] James Withycombe

Good work on the James Withycombe article. I was wondering though, where is your source for "He received his Master's Degree in Agriculture 1891 from OAC"? I am in the ongoing process of adding all famous OSU alumni to List of Oregon State University people and your article was the first I've heard of him being an OSU alumni as well as a former faculty member. I question this because he isn't listed here which specifically states that only 2 OSU alumni have become governor, John H. Hall and Douglas McKay. I looked at both of the online references provided and niether mention this, they simply say he was faculty there. Can you clear this up? If he indeed is an alumni I'll be sending an e-mail to the OSU alumni association to get their facts straight. VegaDark 21:11, 8 August 2006 (UTC)

I can see you put a lot of work into researching this, good work. What I meant in my original comment was that yes, I realized he was faculty, but I was unaware he was also an alumni as he wasn't on the famous alumni list at OSU. Did the book say it was an honorary degree or something? That is the only explanation I can think of as to why he wouldn't be included. If he did indeed go here for grad school (undergraduate as well?) then he should certainly be on the famous alumni list at OSU. VegaDark 20:02, 16 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] WikiProject South Park

I have thought of creating a WikiProject for South Park since it is now near its' 10th anniversary and has more articles than ever. I feel we could all do the following things through this project:

  • Cleanup any short/poorly written/unformatted articles
  • Merge/lengthen the many character articles
  • Improve the South Park main page

I have seen your South Park fan template and wondered if you were interested in joining. If so reply to my talk page and I'll get back to you as quick as I can. Thanks, Mr. Garrison

[edit] Oregon seals

Hey what ever became of the seals project? You were pretty much done, right? I thought there was a list of all the ones you had asked about, along with their pro and con status regarding whether we could use them, but darned if I can find it anywhere. I'm asking because one of our new WikiProject members has added a few seals and I wanted to make sure he didn't get in trouble for that. But I don't want to say anything unless I know what I'm talking about. :) Thanks! Katr67 20:58, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Use of one of your photos in a new transit textbook

Hi Adam-- I'm working with Vukan Vuchic (www.seas.upenn.edu/~vuchic) on a new urban transit textbook (http://www.wiley.com/WileyCDA/WileyTitle/productCd-047175823X.html). Dr. Vuchic would like to use a photo you took that's currently on the nycsubway.org site (http://world.nycsubway.org/perl/show?30638). We asked the webmaster there for permission to use the photo in Dr. Vuchic's textbook, but he said they don't give permission for commercial reuse of the photos on the site. I noticed that the photos you've uploaded to Wikipedia are licensed as public domain, so I'm wondering if you might be willing to let Dr. Vuchic use your photo of the Vancouver Skytrain in his book. We'll be happy to credit you as the source. Thx. Jim, Pixel23 21:15, 8 December 2006 (UTC)
