Some feedback on this article

Thanks for this article, PSimon05! Here are a few suggestions:

The introduction to this article gives a good introduction to what Eugenics is. It does not summarize all the major points in the article -- especially the Oregon-specific history -- though.
You have an excellent encyclopedic tone throughout.
The images help to improve the reader's understanding. One of them is missing a caption, though.
The structure of the article is very good.
In the section called "The Beginning", you link Bethenia Owens-Adair's name to her entry on the Oregon Encyclopedia. It would probably be better to link her name to her Wikipedia article instead.
I think that this article should mention the impact that Oregon's Eugenics law had on Washington and Idaho's eugenics laws. For example, Idaho's eugenics law was intentionally identical to Oregon's. Peter Boag talks about this influence in his book "Same-sex affairs" ^[1]
