A few notes about the sources in this article

[edit]

Here's a source for the history: http://bakercounty.net/huntington/ . This appears to be a personal site, not an official site--I don't know where they got the info. I'm removing the word "unfortunate" from in front of "emigrants"...seems POV but perhaps that is my bias. Katr67 22:34, 15 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for adding the sources, but as you can see, several of the facts are a direct copy and paste from the above site, which was then used as the source. I'd really like to see another source for this material (and see it rewritten as well), as I'm not sure the above source is reliable. Also, that Oregon Cities website uses info directly copied and pasted from Oregon Geographic Names, and in fact some of the parts of the article are in turn copied exactly from Oregon Cities.

I have been trying to edit an error but I can't figure out how. In the last paragraph of the history section it says "at the start of the 19th century" and it should say "at the start of the 20th century" ie the 1900's. I know about that stuff because my Grandpa and Grandma were a part of that history. It would be wonderful to have a way to include some of those kind of stories in the articles, but I couldn't really figure out how one would do that. For instance: Farewell Bend was always thought by the locals to be a place where some of the wagon train folks split off to go down through the desert toward Southern Oregon and Northern California and the rest went on toward western Oregon. Since we were only a generation away from the wagon trains it makes me wonder who had it right. Ah well. Thanks for giving me a place to talk. I'm a totally new user: bhutsell Jan 3,2007

I changed the image to one I took a few weeks ago, since the previous image was of something the City took down and replaced. Also, I just deleted any reference to which century, as the source material didn't actually specify. Thanx Katr67 for your advice. Watchwolf49z (talk) 19:20, 19 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
