[edit] Oregon Elections

Hi Pete,

I'm in Washington, and I've done quite a bit of work getting the various 2006 elections organized. I was looking at the Oregon election pages, and I'd like to invite you to see what I've built for WA and see if it might work for your state. I've divided it up into US Senate, US House, Judicial, State Senate, State House and Local. That might work for Oregon as well. Let me know what you think.

Your recent edit to Oregon Legislature election, 2006 was reverted by an automated bot that attempts to recognize and repair vandalism to Wikipedia articles. If the bot reverted a legitimate edit, please accept our apologies – if you bring it to the attention of the bot's owner, we may be able to improve its behavior.

Pete, looks like you tried to break the pages apart, then decided not to. Did you need help? Chadlupkes 00:05, 16 April 2006 (UTC)

Pete, Hi there..I just joined Wikiproject Oregon. I've been editing the 2006 Gubernatorial article quite a bit. I updated the information on the 2006 elections article, but didn't change any of the other parts of it. It looks like you will have lots of fun fixing it up for the general election. Let me know if you need any help. Davidpdx 04:52, 17 May 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! Please visit Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Oregon to discuss the contributions you can make to improve Oregon to a FAC level article. the iBook of the Revolution 04:49, 15 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Blue Oregon

I just noticed that you post on Blue Oregon also. I am currently living overseas in South Korea. It's just really interesting that both of us are involved in Wikipedia and Blue Oregon. Davidpdx 07:09, 10 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] David Wu

I'd appreciate if you would watch this article. Several people have tried to insert inflamatory statements about Wu being a rapist. While he did confess to an incident and apologized for it, he was never charged or convicted of anything. Thanks for your help! Davidpdx 03:30, 12 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Blumenauer

Thanks. I didn't learn how to do that until today.—Clipdude 08:54, 31 December 2006 (UTC)

Thanks, Peter, for the explanations! More detail on my talk page - --Martha 19:46, 31 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Welcome to the Oregon Government & Politics work group

Howdy, Pete!

Thanks for adding your name to our tiny list of OrGov WikiWorkers. I've noticed some of your able edits around and about, and definitely am pleased to have you aboard (allusion to Bus Project unintended). I haven't posted much lately to the workgroup's talk page... it was too akin to talking to oneself... but now that it's more than just User:Katr67 and me, I'll try to touch base there more often, and be less of a lone wolf.

I know that Government of Oregon is crying out to be brought up to snuff, and we really need to create Politics of Oregon. To get more Wiki experience, and to avoid the products of those two projects being unacceptably peppered with redlinks, I've been working on smaller articles on the various departments, agencies, etc., before tackling such dauntingly broad subjects.

Anyway, I'm looking forward to working with you. -- "J-M" (Jgilhousen) 07:39, 4 January 2007 (UTC)
