This WikiProject was formed to foster better articles on the U.S. state of Oregon with a spirit of cooperation. This page and its subpages contain tools for browsing Oregon-related Wikipedia content, and suggestions for improving it. Much of the activity is on the project's talk page. You may also be interested in the Oregon portal, a page that displays some of the better Oregon-related Wikipedia content.

To join this WikiProject, please sign your username under the members section and put {{User WikiProject Oregon}} on your user page.

We have also established a WikiProject Oregon blog, to help build lines of communication with non-Wikipedians. Please take a look, and if you'd like to become a contributor, leave a note on the talk page.
