[edit] Remove "stub" reference?

I'm thinking that the current version, while leaving a lot of room for improvement and addition, is enough to remove the "stub" reference.

Agreed? --VanBrigglePottery 04:29, 28 September 2006 (UTC)

I just did. :) An expansion template {{expansion}} could be added if people feel the need. Katr67 22:49, 28 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] More Info/Less Bias?

All the content in this article appears to be quoted verbatim from Dignity Village's website. We could use some information on Dignity Village from outside their own website. And we certainly shouldn't be copying words from another source. --mountainfire 15:48, 13 February 2006 (UTC)

In doing some research on Portland, I came across the Dignity Village site, and on further research, this Wiki entry. I found their story compelling and very relevant not only to the city of Portland, but internationally as a candid snapshot of modern Amerca. I have no connections to Dignity Village, and I think I can say that I probably do not share many of the group's political opinions. I do, however, think that this tenacious group of grass-roots activists is notable and worthy of mention in a comprehensive encyclopedia.

I will submit some changes and hopefully help set this entry on a scholarly path that is not a promotional pamphlet, written from an independent outside perspective, but with plenty of "inside perspective" from the many local resources publicly available. I am sure there will be plenty of opportunity to edit what I add - especailly spelling wise - but I am sure it will take the entry onto firm ground so it can be built on.
