[edit] What happened?
Please disregard following query--got very good explanation from Media Questions page.--Orygun (talk) 04:32, 1 April 2008 (UTC)
I uploaded several Public Domain images from National Park Service few weeks ago. Just found what looks like pull-and-replace action that killed original files (Image:Sinnott Memorial Building at Crater Lake National Park, 1981.jpg / Image:Sinnott Memorial observation deck, 1938.jpg), and replaced them with new files with same name/source info/etc (Image:Sinnott Memorial Building at Crater Lake National Park 1981.jpg / Image:Sinnott Memorial observation deck 1938.jpg). Images still appear in wiki-articles so must be some kind of re-formating job; however, "image" and "discussion" tabs remain red. Changes were made by User:Werewombat, and that use page referred me to your user page. Can you tell me what happened and why? Also, what do I need to do to get format right when I upload images so folks don't have to do re-work.--Orygun (talk) 02:59, 1 April 2008 (UTC)
Please disregard--hope I didn't cause you any additional work!--Orygun (talk) 04:32, 1 April 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Elected Oregon
Hello fellow WikiProject Oregon folks and entities. Thanks to those who helped out with improving Vera Katz and History of Oregon during the last Collaboration of the Week! As you may have noticed, we have changed the banners a bit, but not our dedication to everything Oregon! This week, in honor of the political process, we have: Current Oregon Senate members & Current Oregon House members. Hopefully by November we can have an article on every current member of the Oregon Legislature. So feel free to turn a red link blue or expand an existing article. Since it is an election year, there should be plenty of newspaper stories. Plus, the state archives has this site that allows you to go back and see when they started serving and district info, plus at a minimum show they were a state legislator from a WP:RS. And per WP:BIO, all state legislator's are notable so no need to worry about AFD. As always, to opt out, opt in, or suggest future collaborative efforts, click here.

[edit] Alpena Light
Sorry I didn't respond quickly to your note about moving the Alpena light to Common. I note however that all I had provided before was a low resolution image. I have uploaded a better resolution image to the common area, but was not sure how to link the larger image to the smaller one. Charles W. Bash (talk) 12:20, 11 April 2008 (UTC)
Thank you for the update. I've linked the photos.
Have another problem. Can you take a look at Fourteen Foot Shoal Light and Poe Reef Light? (Or maybe there's a better way for me to ask for help, so counsel that as well.) I've loaded the first photo on en.wikipedia. I've loaded the second photo on commons.wikipedia. Neither shows up in my infobox. Can you see what I've done wrong? Thanks for the assistance (and, OBTW, God Bless) Charles W. Bash (talk) 21:33, 11 April 2008 (UTC)
Well, that was smart of you. I'm used to case sensitive names, but not suffixes. God bless. Charles W. Bash (talk) 16:50, 12 April 2008 (UTC)
[edit] License for Image:LightshipColumbia.jpg
Hi. I moved it to commons. I picked some license. I don't know if that's a good one, but when I uploaded it, it looked like a good one, because it was under "best practices" or something like that. I'm not an expert.
I also added the template telling about the move to the image page here. On commons there was something about categories, but I don't know how to add those, so if you find something there and you know how to do that, feel free to add those.
Thanks. BigBen212 (talk) 14:31, 14 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Juxtaposition COTW
Howdy Ho WikiProject Oregon! Time for another installment of Collaboration of the Week. The last few weeks we’ve knocked out quite a few articles of our current state legislators, and even a few former ones too. Great job to all those who helped make it happen. On a related note, we have had several DYKs from this and now have 53 DYKs so far this year (not counting multiples), less than four full months into the year. Last year we had a total of 83 DYKs for the entire year, and 7 combined for 2006 & 2005. So we are well on our way to another record year. Each time an article makes it to the main page as a DYK it will typically get an extra 1000 hits, which is usually far more than the typical 100 hits per month most minor articles receive. With that said, this week we have two requests, Portland Lumberjax and Silicon Forest. As always, to opt out, opt in, or suggest future collaborative efforts, click here.

[edit] Cinco de COTW
Greetings once again from the Collaboration of the Week at WikiProject Oregon. Thank you to those who helped out with the last set of articles. This week we have the lone Stub class article left in the Top importance classification, Flag of Oregon, and by request, Detroit Lake. Help where you can, if you can. To opt out of these messages, leave your name here. Adios. Aboutmovies (talk) 22:09, 5 May 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Zzzz Oregon COTW
Howdy ya’ll, time for another Collaboration of the Week from WikiProject Oregon. Last week we improved Flag of Oregon & Detroit Lake, enough I think to move them to Start class, so great job everyone! This week, we have another request in Oregon Ballot Measure 47 and a randomly selected two sentence stub that should be easy to expand enough for a DYK in Wallowa-Whitman National Forest.

[edit] QWERTY: Oregon COTW
Hello WikiProject Oregon participants, time for another edition of Collaboration of the Week. Last week we made some great improvements to Wallowa-Whitman National Forest and Oregon Ballot Measure 47 (1996), with a DYK for the forest. Great job everyone! This week we have another stub, George Lemuel Woods, one of only two governor stubs left, and should be an easy job getting it to Start class. Then, in honor of the long weekend, we have our second State Park Article Creation Drive. Lots of red links to turn blue, lots of opportunities for DYKs. Help if you can, even if it is only adding pictures of state parks. To opt out of these messages, leave your name here, or click here to make a suggestion. May the The Schwartz be with you.

[edit] Wheeler, Oregon Photo
To Whom It May Concern,
I am currently building a website for the View of the West Condominiums in Wheeler, Oregon. The property owner has asked me to get permission to use your photo posted on Wikipedia to use on the site. The photo is currently located at.
http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/e/ec/Wheeler_OR_2007.06.jpg
The View of the West Condominiums is the top most building in the photo.
The photo would be used once somewhere on www.ViewOfTheWest.com
Thank you for your time and consideration,

[edit] X marks the WPOR COTW spot
Guten Tag WikiProject Oregon team members! Great job last week with the Collaboration of the Week, we improved George Lemuel Woods and added eleven new state park articles. This past week we also surpassed the 6000 article mark as a project. The weather may suck, but WPORE is not. For this week we have by request Music of Oregon and Phil Knight. Both need some help, and with Knight we might be able to improve it to GA standards. Once again, to opt out of these messages, leave your name here, or click here to make a suggestion.

[edit] A is for Apple at COTW
Hello again to those of the WikiProject we call Oregon. Time for another edition of Collaboration of the Week. Last week there was some good improvements to Music of Oregon and Phil Knight, great job everyone. This week, by request is the Applegate Trail, which is short enough to easily conjure up a DYK. Then, I’m trying something a little different, with the Portland State stuff. We included the two high profile schools during Civil War week last year, so now its time for the younger sibling that gets no respect to get some attention. After all, it is the largest college in the state. Feel free to help with whatever aspects you like, though to help with some ideas I added some to the article talk page. Click here to opt out of these messages, or click here to make a suggestion for a future COTW. Nana na na, hey hey hey, goouud byeeee. Aboutmovies (talk) 08:07, 7 June 2008 (UTC)
[edit] NHLs by Fourth of July, or bust
Hi Ipoellet, it would be great if you would participate in the possible drive to get the last NHLs at least stubbed, and possibly a bit more, and put the whole list up for DYK on July 4, per talk section at wt:NRHP. I wonder in particular if you'd be interested/willing to draft an intro to the List of NHLs by state article, perhaps in a sandbox, and to be the one nominating the list on June 28 or whichever day is necessary to get it in the right DYK cohort?
By the way, it's a long way to getting the lists to FL status, but you might get the idea by now, that i pretty much noticed when you said: "And maybe in the end the entire system of lists can achieve FL status... One can dream. Ipoellet 16:09, 4 October 2007 (UTC)"
