[edit] Resources

  • Oregon Blue Book City Governments Directory-Mostly profiles, but has elevation data (missing from a lot of city articles), has accurate and current website addresses for city governments, and some basic information that may be helpful for infoboxes.

[edit] Finding city articles needing attention

Some Wikipedia lists and articles relating to cities, villages, townships, and CDPs in Oregon. These should prove useful for finding articles in need of clean-up, creation, and/or categorization:

There are a lot of red links in there!

[edit] Images needed

It's useful to add photographs, maps, and other images to existing city articles. A priority should be on the larger cities outside of Portland, as there aren't as many (or no) photographs of them. Location maps would need to be created for new cities, and flags and city seals ought to be tracked down.

City seals and flags often have a unique copyright status, and permission for use or use of reproductions must be obtained first from the city in question before use in Wikipedia. A note that permission was received should accompany a seal copyright tag on the image's description page.

See below for seals/logos that are off-limits for use on Wikipedia.

Just taking images off government websites, then uploading them to Wikipedia is not acceptable without permission.

[edit] City infoboxes and flags/seals lists

All cities should already have infoboxes except for new cities. It's nice to add images of flags and seals if the articles don't have them, but see about permission, above, and make sure you tag the images with the proper license so they don't get deleted.

[edit] Cities that have both infoboxes and flags/seals

[edit] Cities contacted for seal/logo use, but declined

Currently, these are the cities and other government entities that have made it clear that they would not like their their seals/logos used in any way on Wikipedia. Until permission is granted through future negotiations, these seals/logos are off-limits:
