• thanks for checking my link (I am surprised it doesn't work. I couldn't test it myself, because I get "connection was refused. [blabla] proxy server [...]"). The link you provided is much better. Ben talk contr 02:51, Apr 18, 2005 (UTC)

No problem, my only concern is that I am not sure the software even works. I tried it with Windows 2000 and with dosemu/freedos and wine in linux and I couldn't get it to run. We may just want to take it out unless someone else has better luck with the software. BDerrly 22:10, 18 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Works for me. I just tried it with Windows XP and it was ok. I didn't stand a chance against the Red Baron and got shot. The software is very old, maybe you have some kind of incompatibility, long filenames, etc., it's fragile. Ben talk contr 03:31, Apr 19, 2005 (UTC)

• BTW, are you really a newbie (two weeks here)!? You don't seem to, and you already created a new article, about Flight Service Stations. Well, anyway, be welcome to the wikipedia!
  

I copy some links that I got when I got welcomed. You probably don't need all of them, but it's good to have them just in case...

• Well, I've been using Wikipedia for a couple of years now but just recently took the time to create an account. I've done a couple of minor edits for spelling, etc, but I wanted to create a couple of pages and I thought a user name would make it easier to keep track of that stuff. So here I am! Thanks for the welcome and I'm glad to hear the software works for you. I'll have to give it a try again. bDerrly talk contr 20:36, 19 Apr 2005 (UTC)

I thought you were not new. Good luck with the Baron and hey, you might want to get the old edits recognized as yours. Ben talk contr 07:22, Apr 20, 2005 (UTC)

AOPA

Actually I don't know how best to attribute the text, maybe using a few inline citations like: "AOPA was founded ... [1]". I asked for input on Wikipedia:Copyright problems, but there appears to be no consensus on how to handle copyright issues. There are a couple of template form letters for asking for permission to republish someone's text under GFDL. Anyway, maybe it's OK to just leave it as is until someone takes up the issue. —Fleminra 21:28, May 6, 2005 (UTC)

Culture of Russia

Thanks for all of your suggestions and editing it is very helpful. Thanks. Falphin 29 June 2005 01:57 (UTC)

Not a problem, glad to help! A good article with a lot of interesting information it just needs some clarification in some spots. It is confusing to someone, like me, who doesn't know much about Russian culture. bDerrly talk contr 29 June 2005 13:40 (UTC)

Image Tagging Image:Commander112-panel.jpg

This media may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading Image:Commander112-panel.jpg. I notice the 'image' page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is therefore unclear. If you have not created this media yourself then you need to argue that we have the right to use the media on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the media yourself then you should also specify where you found it, i.e., in most cases link to the website where you got it, and the terms of use for content from that page.

If the media also doesn't have a copyright tag then you must also add one. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then you can use {{GFDL}} to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media qualifies as fair use, please read fair use, and then use a tag such as {{Non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair_use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other media, please check that you have specified their source and copyright tagged them, too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any unsourced and untagged images will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Stan 14:24, 9 February 2006 (UTC)

Columbia and dates

Hi bDerrly, good job digging out wikilinks in the Columbia River prose. I found an explanation a while back - I forget where - about where to link, and where not to link dates; thought I'd share. (I'm no stickler on this stuff, just explaining something that made sense to me.)

Basically, it said to link complete dates, like April 19 1973, because that allows user preferences to reformat dates; for instance, a European might set his preferences to make that show up like 19 April, 1973. Other than that, it said don't bother, because links to individual years serve no real purpose, but make the text appear more cluttered.

Made sense to me, so that's how I've been doing it. Anyway, happy editing! -Pete 06:04, 6 June 2007 (UTC)

WikiProject Oregon participation spam

Hi there--I was looking through Category:WikiProject Oregon participants and noticed that although you've added the WP:ORE userbox to your page, it looks like you haven't actually signed up! If you would do so, that would be great, that way you can be kept informed of our collaboration of the week and anything else we may want you to know. Feel free to add an introduction too! Thanks! Katr67 (talk) 23:55, 24 February 2008 (UTC)

Welcome to WikiProject Oregon! If you'd like, you can add the WP Oregon userbox to your user page using this code: {{User WikiProject Oregon}}. Check out the ongoing and archived discussions at WT:ORE and be sure to add the page to your Watchlist. If you are new to Wikipedia, it's a good idea to browse through the core principles of Wikipedia as well. The project home page at WP:ORE has many useful links to get you started. The recent changes and recent discussions links will display recent edits on articles within the project's scope. Welcome! —EncMstr (talk) 21:36, 21 June 2008 (UTC)

Xtra COTW

Greeting once again WikiProject Oregon Folks. Time for another edition of the Collaboration of the Week. First, thank you to those who helped out on the last few COTWs. This week we have the soon to open Westside Express Service, formerly the Washington County Commuter Rail, so lets see if we can get it up to WPORE standards. Then there is a Coordinates Drive to add coordinates to any articles currently missing them, to help increase readership by allowing them to be shown on Google Earth/Maps.

Qrazy sale at COTW! Act now! Total liquidation!

Greetings WikiProject Oregon folks, time for another edition of the Collaboration of the Week! Last week we saw some good improvements made to Westside Express Service, while we also worked on a Coordinates Drive. I don’t know how many articles had the coordinates added to, but thanks to those who helped out. This week we have two more requests: William Clark of Lewis & Clark fame and the famed Oregon Bottle Bill. Hopefully we can work both up to B class.

Summer Time in the COTW

Hello again to those of the WikiProject Oregon Clan. Time for another new edition of Collaboration of the Week. Last week there was some good improvements to William Clark and the legendary Oregon Bottle Bill, great job to those who helped out. This week, by request is the Owyhee Reservoir, which is short enough to easily conjure up a DYK. Then, also by request is a red link elimination drive on Oregon newspapers. Feel free to help out with either. Click here to opt out of these messages, or click here to make a suggestion for a future COTW. Aboutmovies (talk) 20:34, 16 July 2008 (UTC)

Zebras are not allowed to participate at COTW, but penguins may

Howdy ya’ll, its WikiProject Oregon Collaboration of the Week time! Thanks to those who helped improve Owyhee Reservoir and start some new Oregon newspaper article, we had four new ones. This week it is time for a Stub Improvement Drive. So select a Stub, any Stub, and try to improve it to at least a Start class. If you expand it by 5X, then think about nominating it at Did You Know so it can be featured on the main page.

1 Year of the Collaboration of the Week

Hello again to those of WikiProject Oregon. It is time again for another Collaboration of the Week. The last two weeks were a Stub Improvement Drive, and thank you to those who improved any Stubs.

This week marks the one week anniversary of the COTW, so a brief highlight reel:

• At least 10 DYKs
• Three articles passed GA after being listed at COTW
• Probably around 25 articles started
• Almost all Top importance articles are now better than Stub class

And now on with our countdown. This week we have two requests, the Willamette Meteorite and Tom McCall. Hopefully we can get both to GA quality. Click here to opt out of these messages, or click here to make a suggestion for a future COTW. Thank you. Aboutmovies (talk) 09:45, 15 August 2008 (UTC)

Jim N E Cricket, its another Oregon Collaboration of the Week

Greetings WikiProject Oregon folks, it is time for another edition of the Collaboration of the Week! A big thanks to those who helped out in improving Tom McCall and the Willamette Meteorite last week. This week we have a request for Mr. Greg Oden who has been back in the news as of late, so hopefully we can get him up to B class before training camp starts. Then we have a Hospital red link drive with plenty of opportunity for DYKs! As always, click here to opt out of these messages, or click here to make a suggestion for a future COTW. Bu bye.

Ssssh, Be Very Very Quiet, its Oregon COTW time

Howdy folks, its time for this week’s edition of Oregon’s Collaboration of the Week. First off, great job the last two weeks with Greg Oden & the Hospital red link drive. We had close to ten new hospital articles and two DYKs () plus other improvements to the list itself. So thank you to those who helped out. This week, we have on a sad note Kevin Duckworth, and the Statesman Journal. Duckworth should have plenty of sources so hopefully in tribute we can get his article up to standards. With the SJ, hopefully we can get it above a stub so all three of the top three papers are no longer stubs, and maybe even a DYK and GA like we got from the Register-Guard? Once again, click here to opt out of these messages, or click here to make a suggestion for a future COTW. Hasta la bye bye. Aboutmovies (talk) 20:16, 5 September 2008 (UTC)

WP:ORE COTW Version 2.2

Hello WikiProject Oregon contributors. It's time for another COTW. Thank you to those who helped improve Kevin Duckworth and the Statesman Journal last week, we received another DYK () for the SJ. This week, by request we have Mr. Ken Kesey and not by request Nike, Inc.. Nike is the only Start class article in the top 30 of those articles selected for the hard copy edition, and it could easily be improved to B class.

Red red links make me feel so fine...

Greetings WikiProject Oregon editors. It's time for another edition of the COTW. Thank you to those who helped improve Ken Kesey and the Nike, Inc. last week. This week, by request we have the Northwest Forest Plan and then a Red Link Elimination Drive. For the red links, pick any one you want from any article, the list provided is just to help make it easier. And if you get a good article started, don’t forget to nominate it for a DYK.

Very Special COTW, act now!

Greetings WikiProject Oregon peoples. It is once again time for another edition of the COTW. Thank you to those who helped eliminate some red links the last few weeks (the NWFP received little attention). This week, we have the stub High Desert Museum and then in honor of losing airline service again, McNary Field.

Howdy WikiProject Oregon humans. Time for another edition of the C to the O to the T to the W. Thanks to those who help out on McNary Field and Bend’s High Desert Museum. For this week, we shall tackle Bridges on US 101 and then with the last few days of decent weather, The Semi-Annual Picture Drive. Plenty of red links on the bridge list, or improve a stub!

Elect the Best Financed, Least Offensive Person For the Job (aka Oregon COTW)

Hello fellow WikiProject Oregon folks, it’s time for another COTW. But first, just remember that those other guys only want to raise your taxes, but I won’t. A big thank you to those who helped make improvements to Bridges on US 101 and participating in The Semi-Annual Picture Drive. And unlike the other guys, I won’t ship your jobs overseas! This week, we have Mr. Bipartisan Wayne Morse who went from being a Republican to an Independent and finally to a Democrat. Then, let’s see if we can finish up creating articles for members of the Oregon House before their January inauguration. As always, click here to opt out of these messages, or click here to make a suggestion for a future COTW. I’m Aboutmovies, and I approve this message. Paid for the committee to elect Aboutmovies.

Harvest Time @ COTW

Greetings WikiProject Oregon folks, it’s time for another edition of the fabled COTW. Thank you to all who helped make improvements to Wayne Morse and creating some members of the Oregon House. This week, we have by request Upper Klamath Lake which think made the news lately with a salmon plan. Then, in honor of the end of the harvest time, we will go farming with Fort Stevens. There is a beautiful link farm in the article that is ripe for harvesting into citations. It should provide for a bountiful feast, or alternatively you can take your hoe to it and weed some out.
