Redlinks should be used very sparingly, and only when either there's a good chance that an article with that name will be written soon (meaning, you plan on doing it!), or when the subject is so important, that the redlink is used as a way to prompt an article to be written. The problem with how you added them, is that you added an "Inc" in the name, and that's almost never used in article titles. So, if and when an article on CH is written, these redlinks won't even connect to it. It's usually better to wait and make the links after the article is written, so that there aren't orphaned redlinks out there that everyone's forgotten about (and, on a personal note, this is a wierd collision of real- and wiki-worlds, as I'm writing about CH here, and just installed a cyclic actator that they overhauled onto my helo!)

I've "zapped" it again, I am afraid. The solution would be to get the permission of the copyright holder to upload it as a free image. Otherwise it is doubtful if we can use it. Sorry. --Guinnog 14:19, 24 March 2007 (UTC)

Oregon Airports

Just to let you know I responded on my talk page. Katr67 19:54, 5 April 2007 (UTC)

City/County Categories

Greetings. Great job with adding all the airports, it's been a neglected area. One thing to keep in mind with categories is that usually we do not put an article in both a parent category and a child category, see Wikipedia:Categorization. And with city categories they are (or should be) childs of the county they are in. For instance with McMinnville, the airmuseum and airport would go into the McM cat, but not the Yamhill County cat. Otherwise we would just have an Oregon cat with 2000 articles in it. Let me know if you have any questions. Again, great job de-redlinking all those airports. Aboutmovies 23:13, 11 April 2007 (UTC)

McNary Field on Oregon airport list

I changed McNary Field back to "GA" (general aviation) on the List of airports in Oregon because the Role column is based on the airport categories defined in the FAA's National Plan of Integrated Airport Systems (NPIAS) Report for 2007-2011 [1]. According to the FAA, "commercial service airports are defined as public airports receiving scheduled passenger service and having 2,500 or more enplaned passengers per year". [2] This is then further broken down into "Primary" (10,000+ enplanements per year) and "Non-Primary" (2,500 to 10,000 enplanements per year). There are a number of airports in the U.S. which have scheduled commercial airline service but do not meet this requirement. One example is Ogdensburg International Airport in New York which has scheduled service via Delta Connection, but is classified as "GA" because it only had 2,078 enplanements in 2005. Hope that answers your question. -- Zyxw 20:11, 2 May 2007 (UTC)

ALso, I've been thinking we might add some info on Erickson's helicopters in films to the S-64 page in a "Popular culture" section, with sources of cource.

Chinook Pop Culture

The Helicopters in Popular Culture was a magnet for trivia to keep it out of the articles as it was a loosing battle by some members of the aircraft project to keep it out of the aircraft article. I believe that nearly all of the entries are not notable and not really relevant to the aircraft article. Just my opinion happy to take it to the talk page. MilborneOne 22:11, 25 July 2007 (UTC)

Your trivia was removed by the Vandel BillCJ. It was good info, please put it back in and/or report the vandels that are pulling the trivia out.

Fair use rationale for Image:N6676D.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:N6676D.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages 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 non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Calliopejen1 13:45, 5 August 2007 (UTC)

WPOR Collaboration of the Week

Greetings WPOR member, we are starting a weekly collaboration project where we will announce two articles that are currently stubs that we hope to work together to improve. No pressure to help, but if you would like to, just stop by one of the articles and see if you can find information to expand the article with, copy edit what is there, help with formatting, or add some images.

WPOR Collaboration of the Week

Hello again WikiProject Oregon team members, its time for the next Collaboration of the Week. First a shout out to Sprkee for putting together some templates for this project. Now, in honor of Labor Day weekend and the outdoor nature of the activities that often accompany the three-day weekend, this week’s item is to de-redlink as many parks from the List of Oregon State Parks. Some may even by going to one of these places, a great opportunity to take a picture or two for an article. As always, participation is not required, though it is appreciated. And if you are caught, we will disavow any knowledge of your existence. Since we don’t want to waste any effort through duplication, please make a note on the talk page of which park article you are going to start.

Here's a new article on a former airport I thought you might want to check out. Happy editing! Katr67 21:19, 4 September 2007 (UTC)

Awesome, thanks for the heads up. Yeah I ate out at the McMenamins Cedar Hills a while back and they had quite a few aviation related items up on the wall. I was amazed at how much info they had on their website about the old field. I think it was recently featured in Air & Space magazine. I need to go find that article... --Trashbag 22:15, 4 September 2007 (UTC)

WPOR COTW

First off, great job to all WikiProject Oregon folks for last week’s List of Oregon State Parks work. We pounded out six new state park articles: Sarah Helmick, Bald Peak, Bob Straub, Sumpter Valley Gold Dredge, Tumalo, and Peter Skene Ogden. Plus numerous other edits to improve the existing articles. As a reward, we are introducing the COTW award {{WPOR COTW award}}, and this time it goes to User:Woodstein52 for starting three of the articles.

On to this week. We are back to the usual two Top importance Stubs: Sunstone and Oregon, My Oregon. Both are stub pluses, so it shouldn’t take much to upgrade them both. Again to opt out or suggest future collaborative efforts click here. Good day! Aboutmovies 22:39, 9 September 2007 (UTC)

WPOR Collaboration: 09172007

All righty WPOR ladies and gentleman, great job last week with our state song and gemstone. I have bumped them up to Start class. I haven’t looked at the contributions, so the COTW award will be later. This week’s articles are Darlene Hooley, by special request, and another Top stub, our very own state rock, the Thunderegg. Yes, apparently we have a state rock and state gemstone. No word on whether there is a state stone too. Hooley basically needs some sources to make it to the next level.

Fall WPOR COTW

Welcome to autmun and the weekly COTW news. Great job to those who helped out with last week’s articles: Darlene Hooley & Thunderegg. Both made great improvements. This week, something a little different. With fall upon us, the photo ops are going to be harder to get, so we have a photo request fulfillment drive. Take a look at the requested pictures for Oregon category or the graphics subproject for what’s needed. Then go take a picture, or search online for a free picture to upload (US gov sites are great and there are links available from the above links). If you fill a request, be sure to remove the request template from the article’s talk page. Our other item is another red link removal drive, this time on the flagship Oregon article.

Week 1 October WP:ORE COTW

I know everyone has been waiting anxiously for this week’s COTW, so here they are: Barlow Road and Columbia River Plateau. Both are almost Start class, just some formatting and referencing, plus a little expansion and they will be there!

As to last week, it is difficult to track the items we were working on, but I know some pictures were added and at least three red links were removed from Oregon, so thank you to all those who participated. The award winner will be GoodDamon for their creation of the Oregon Forest Resources Institute article. We have now worked through all the Top class stubs and are into the High class stubs.

WPOR CoTW: Don Schollander & Conde McCullough

Greetings WPOR world. Last week was great with the Barlow Road seeing lots of improvement, maybe even B class. Columbia River Plateau also saw some improvement, maybe enough to bump it to Start. On with the countdown, another two Stubs in the High category, both happen to be people: Don Schollander a multi-gold medalist; and then world-renowned bridge architect and all-around swell guy Conde McCullough. Schollander needs sources more than anything, and McCullough needs more of a bio, plus maybe a nice chart for the bridges with type/year/location/length.

Disputed fair use rationale for Image:Boeing Model 360.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Boeing Model 360.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please read the instructions at Wikipedia:Non-free content carefully, then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies for fair use. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it will be deleted within a couple of days according to our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 14:16, 26 October 2007 (UTC)

Coordinates for airports

In response to your question at User talk:Zyxw #Coordinates for airports:

The template you are asking about is {{GeoGroupTemplate}} and there was a discussion about this on that template's talk page. As per User: Para, author of the tool (http://tools.wikimedia.de/~para/cgi-bin/kmlexport) used in the template's first two links:
"With an article name the tool pulls the article from the live Wikipedia, but the more resource intensive category request uses the coordinates from Wikipedia-World, which is updated from the dumps."
Unfortunately, the Wikipedia-World project does not seem to have updated their data since 29 July 2007. That is why the Propst Airport article you mentioned (created on 22 December 2007) doesn't appear when using the GeoGroupTemplate link found at Category: Airports in Oregon. -- Zyxw (talk) 08:46, 29 December 2007 (UTC)

Images in lists

Hi, images are not suitable for Wikipedia if they are relevant to just one word or sentence in an article. So do not send images like the helicopter in List of James Bond vehicles as they will be removed. Vikrant 14:49, 29 December 2007 (UTC)

Sacred Heart General Hospital Heliport

Hiya, great work on the airport articles, as usual. One thing, this article says it's 9 miles NW of Eugene?! Judging by the coords and my personal experience, the heliport is right on the roof of Sacred Heart Medical Center, which puts it squarely in Eugene.

Good day! Yeah, I pulled my data from the FAA so no doubt there are quite a few errors. In dealing with a database there is always Garbage In, Garbage Out from those who have typed it in. When I pulled the spreadsheets from them I had to go go through and correct a bunch of errors (typos, names, etc...) but some of the raw numbers are hard to pick up with the ol' mark one eyeball. Feel free to correct 'em as you find them. I just wanted to make sure I got at least a little something started on them then let all the real pros out there help fill in the blanks.

Howdy to WikiProject Oregon members, time for another edition of the Collaboration of the Week. As you may have already noticed, our flagship article Oregon is up for the third time as we make a push to get WP:GA status before going for WP:FA.

On another note, just a general good job/pat on the back to the project for a great 2007, the first full year of the project. We had 83 DYKs about Oregon, improved one article to FA, and went from around 4 GAs to 17 GAs. Plus numerous new articles, improvements to existing, the introduction of the COTW, and the introduction of article assessment at the project. Again, great job and here’s to a new year.
