[edit] K-Falls
Last time I checked, Klamath Falls was not west of the cascades.Rvannatta 02:14, 24 August 2007 (UTC)
- With all due respect:
- Thank you for your suggestion. When you feel an article needs improvement, please feel free to make those changes. Wikipedia is a wiki, so anyone can edit almost any article by simply following the Edit this page link at the top. The Wikipedia community encourages you to be bold in updating pages. Don't worry too much about making honest mistakes — they're likely to be found and corrected quickly. If you're not sure how editing works, check out how to edit a page, or use the sandbox to try out your editing skills. New contributors are always welcome. You don't even need to log in (although there are many reasons why you might want to).

I took a swipe at it. Regions are rubber some portions of the state are in no region at all, while others may be in multiple regions I suspect.
Columbia county is the step child in Western Oregon--- no region associated with it. It's just the space between the Portland Metro and Astoria and the north coast.
On the east side most of the people either live in the Deschutes river drainage or in the I-84 corridor, but it is never clear whether Lake county is part of Eastern Oregon or not.... —Preceding unsigned comment added by Rvannatta (talk • contribs) 06:11, August 25, 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Southeastern Oregon
Yes, well, it is never clear either, for Western Oregonians, whether anything east of the Cascades even exists, much less is part of Oregon. That historical trend of regional bias stops at the cover of the wikipedia though, right? That the grape growers of Southwest Oregon chose to call their viticultural area "Southern Oregon" for wine marketing purposes does not redefine South Oregon west of the Cascades as the whole of Southern Oregon. Population notwithstanding, there is FAR more land comprising Southern Oregon in the region that lies east of the Cascades, than there is in the region from Klamath Falls westward, not including the coast. Which is another anomaly...how is coastal Southern Oregon not Southern Oregon? Perhaps THIS page ought logically to be renamed Inland Southwestern Oregon, since it actually clearly defines an area of non-coastal Southwestern Oregon. As noted above, even Klamath Falls defines itself as South Central Oregon, so That region may need its own page. There is indeed another region over here, continuing across 3 huge counties east of Klamath County. What region it is, is clearer for those of us who do live here. It includes Lake, Harney, and Malheur Counties. I reverted the recent redirect to this page of Southeastern Oregon, for that reason. I haven't had a chance to work on that page since July, but I'll work on fleshing it out more soon. Duff 08:17, 23 September 2007 (UTC)
- Hey Duff, I didn't think you would be back. I had the Southeastern Oregon on my watchlist forever, hoping someone would flesh it out, because as it stood, it didn't differentiate much between it and Southern Oregon and was an orphan and didn't cite refs. Since it didn't make a very good case for its existence, I decided to redirect. I figured it could be rewritten later if necessary. And voilà, there you are! Accusations of regional bias aside, all the articles pertaining to Southern Oregon subregions need solid refs to show what differentiates them from one other. Welcome back.
