Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Oregon/History
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Proposal: First we need to create a "History of Oregon" page so the below will no longer be red for our green state.
| History of the United States by political division | |
|---|---|
| States | Alabama | Alaska | Arizona | Arkansas | California | Colorado | Connecticut | Delaware | Florida | Georgia | Hawai'i | Idaho | Illinois | Indiana | Iowa | Kansas | Kentucky | Louisiana | Maine | Maryland | Massachusetts | Michigan | Minnesota | Mississippi | Missouri | Montana | Nebraska | Nevada | New Hampshire | New Jersey | New Mexico | New York | North Carolina | North Dakota | Ohio | Oklahoma | Oregon | Pennsylvania | Rhode Island | South Carolina | South Dakota | Tennessee | Texas | Utah | Vermont | Virginia | Washington | West Virginia | Wisconsin | Wyoming |
| Federal district | District of Columbia |
| Insular areas | American Samoa | Guam | Northern Mariana Islands | Puerto Rico | Virgin Islands |
| Minor outlying islands | Baker Island | Howland Island | Jarvis Island | Johnston Atoll | Kingman Reef | Midway Atoll | Navassa Island | Palmyra Atoll | Wake Island |
After that I'm thinking we could break things down into four catagories:
- Native People History
- History to 1806 (1492-1806)
- Pioneer History (1807-1900)
- Modern History (1900 to present)
For everything until 1848 it would be history of the Oregon country, then with the formation of the territory the focus should be on Oregon only. Not that I'm trying to be a dictator, though that might be fun.
For greater usability I propose a series of lists, of which I have created one and will make the others if people are OK with this. I will make them interconnect, but useing just the lists would give people a broad understanding of the history.

And now I have been informed there is a history section to the WikiOregon. Why wasn't it integrated with this area? Where is the link form this main page? More to come, including creating the sub pages. Aboutmovies 00:08, 25 November 2006 (UTC)
- Hi Aboutmovies. Why don't you go ahead and post about starting this subproject on the project's main talkpage so more people will know about it? I only stumbled across it because I saw the talk page link was blue while the subproject page was still red. You could go ahead and and start the project page too if you want (versus this, the talk page)--see the other sub project pages for ideas. I think the reason the History page is a subpage of EngineerScotty's is because it just isn't ready for primetime yet. I suggest you read through all the posts on the main project talk page to see the where/who/what/why of what has been worked on so far. Cheers! Sorry I seem to be the only one from the project talking to you so far. I'm not stalking you, I swear... Katr67 20:16, 1 December 2006 (UTC)
