[edit] CalTrans and more
I might be misunderstanding this, but does the infobox seem to imply I-5 in Oregon was built by CalTran? Also, the freeway only gets within 10 miles or so of Corvallis, so if this qualifies for "skirting" then there are a lot towns along the way that need to be added. Add I-5 splits Albany a bit, so again I don't think that is the best way to describe that. Aboutmovies 01:21, 19 September 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Places that aren't places
If I list everything in this article that is mislinked as a settlement (i.e. Foo, Oregon), can these be incorporated into the article? Though I think redirects of non-settlements from improperly named redlinks might not be avoidable with the available templates, I think as many of these should be eliminated as possible to avoid confusion.
[edit] Places
- Mt. Ashland, Oregon-->Mount Ashland (no locality named Mt. Ashland, refers to the actual mountain)
- North Medford-->The north part of Medford, no actual locality named North Medford
- Canyon Creek-->No locality, refers to the actual creek
- North Canyonville-->The north part of Canyonville
- Stanton Park-->Not a locality, it's a road (GNIS: it's a park)
- South Roseburg-->The south part of Roseburg
- Diamond Lake-->refers to the actual lake, (Diamond Lake (Oregon), which really needs an article). There is also a place called Diamond Lake, Oregon, but it's much more likely people on I-5 are looking for the lake--eventually these will be two separate articles
- Metz Hill=road
- Rice Valley=road
- Red Hill=road
- Scotts Valley=road
- Elk Creek=creek (if notable it would probably have to be named Elk Creek (Douglas County, Oregon) as there are probably a dozen Elk Creeks in the state)
Looks notable: [1]Never mind, that's a different one.
- Cottage Grove Lake=lake
- Dorena Lake=lake
- South Eugene=south part of Eugene, the actual neighborhood would be Southeast, Eugene, Oregon, but never a locale by the name of "South Eugene"
- North Springfield=cardinal direction, not actually a place (GNIS)
- South Jefferson=south part of Jefferson
- North Jefferson=north part of Jefferson
- Knox Butte=a butte
- Viewcrest=drive
- Dever-Conner=drive
- Ankeny Hill=Ankeny, the hill or possibly the Ankeny National Wildlife Refuge
- North Salem=north part of Salem
- Detroit Lake=a lake
- Aurora National Historic District=Aurora, Oregon, which pretty much is the historic district
- North Wilsonville=north part of Wilsonville
- Central Eastside Industrial District, Oregon=encompasses several neighborhoods in Portland--need to do more research. Might merit its own article but certainly doesn't need ", Oregon"
- Delta Park=a park

I tagged with "GNIS" the places that appear as places in [2]. Others appear as valleys or hills. For the less notable ones, it might be best to redirect to the county and cover the places there.
I will change some of the links that are red and are not places. Others do appear to be local place names, for instance Metz Hill. --NE2 00:40, 1 October 2007 (UTC)
