Cinco de COTW

Greetings once again from the Collaboration of the Week at WikiProject Oregon. Thank you to those who helped out with the last set of articles. This week we have the lone Stub class article left in the Top importance classification, Flag of Oregon, and by request, Detroit Lake. Help where you can, if you can. To opt out of these messages, leave your name here. Adios. Aboutmovies (talk) 22:11, 5 May 2008 (UTC)

Zzzz Oregon COTW

Howdy ya’ll, time for another Collaboration of the Week from WikiProject Oregon. Last week we improved Flag of Oregon & Detroit Lake, enough I think to move them to Start class, so great job everyone! This week, we have another request in Oregon Ballot Measure 47 and a randomly selected two sentence stub that should be easy to expand enough for a DYK in Wallowa-Whitman National Forest.

QWERTY: Oregon COTW

Hello WikiProject Oregon participants, time for another edition of Collaboration of the Week. Last week we made some great improvements to Wallowa-Whitman National Forest and Oregon Ballot Measure 47 (1996), with a DYK for the forest. Great job everyone! This week we have another stub, George Lemuel Woods, one of only two governor stubs left, and should be an easy job getting it to Start class. Then, in honor of the long weekend, we have our second State Park Article Creation Drive. Lots of red links to turn blue, lots of opportunities for DYKs. Help if you can, even if it is only adding pictures of state parks. To opt out of these messages, leave your name here, or click here to make a suggestion. May the The Schwartz be with you.

bulk reversion

Hi Little Mountain 5. In response to your query, I have both Popups and Twinkle enabled. It looks like Twinkle is providing a "vandalism" link on user contributions and article history which does the whole revert in one click. Yeah, it's really handy. I don't think it's a restricted capability; at worst, you have to ask for permission to get it enabled—though maybe it's a simple as checking a box in your preferences, under gadgets. I see the check box in mine; see if yours has it. —EncMstr (talk) 04:23, 27 May 2008 (UTC)

Hi, I spotted this discussion -- you may need the WP:ROLLBACK permission in order to use the features EncMstr mentions. (Rollback permissions also give you a new button that allows you to "roll back" several sequential edits without using Popups or Twinkle.) Also, have you figured out what all the links and buttons on the left hand side of the history page do? You might want to play around with those. You can always click on a specific version and then hit the "edit" button for that, using that version as the starting point; it doesn't give you an automatic edit summary, but other than that, sometimes this is the simplest way to do what you're talking about. -Pete (talk) 17:48, 27 May 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for the info, I'll use it. Little Mountain 5

User Block request

You recently gave a warning to annonymous user 189.20.220.98 for his constant vandalism, yet he had vadalised again. This time he had vandalised the Electronic waste page.

I think he has had his last warning for too long and needs to be blocked from editing. Looneyman (talk) 15:15, 28 May 2008 (UTC)

X marks the WPOR COTW spot

Guten Tag WikiProject Oregon team members! Great job last week with the Collaboration of the Week, we improved George Lemuel Woods and added eleven new state park articles. This past week we also surpassed the 6000 article mark as a project. The weather may suck, but WPORE is not. For this week we have by request Music of Oregon and Phil Knight. Both need some help, and with Knight we might be able to improve it to GA standards. Once again, to opt out of these messages, leave your name here, or click here to make a suggestion.

A is for Apple at COTW

Hello again to those of the WikiProject we call Oregon. Time for another edition of Collaboration of the Week. Last week there was some good improvements to Music of Oregon and Phil Knight, great job everyone. This week, by request is the Applegate Trail, which is short enough to easily conjure up a DYK. Then, I’m trying something a little different, with the Portland State stuff. We included the two high profile schools during Civil War week last year, so now its time for the younger sibling that gets no respect to get some attention. After all, it is the largest college in the state. Feel free to help with whatever aspects you like, though to help with some ideas I added some to the article talk page.

Question

Hello Little Mountain 5, I noticed you do a lot of vandal-reverting, and are effective at it. Would you like me to grant your account rollback rights for you to use alongside Twinkle? Just remember that rollback, like Twinkle, should only be used to revert vandalism. Thanks. Acalamari 19:30, 13 June 2008 (UTC)

I was recently wondering if I should request rollback, and here you are! Yes, I think that would help me out. Thanks! Do I need to request it on the Wikipedia:Requests for rollback page? LittleMountain5 17:56, 14 June 2008 (UTC)

Haven't seen you around so much in the Oregon stuff, so I'm glad to see you're out there in the wider wikiworld doing good work! -Pete (talk) 18:04, 14 June 2008 (UTC)

Not at all: rollback granted now. :) You don't need to go to request for rollback to obtain rollback: any admin can grant you it, as I have done now. Good luck. Acalamari 18:12, 14 June 2008 (UTC)

Thanks, Acalamari! Yeah, I haven't been doing as much Oregon stuff as I'd like to, but don't count me out! LittleMountain5 18:14, 14 June 2008 (UTC)

Page vandalism

No problem, you're welcome. Have a nice summer. Regards, Accurizer (talk) 22:13, 23 June 2008 (UTC)

Reply

I'm sorry about that, it was my fault I suppose. I was edit-conflicted the first time and I refreshed the page and then saved my edit; guess it overwrote yours. Thanks for clearing it up though. Have a nice day. Landon1980 (talk) 17:38, 24 June 2008 (UTC)

It's really no big deal. Just wanted to tell you. Cheers, LittleMountain5 20:28, 24 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.

SarekOfVulcan RFA

Thank you for !voting on my RfA. If you supported, I'll make sure your confidence is not misplaced; if you opposed, I'll take your criticism into account and try to adjust my behavior accordingly.

See you around the wiki!--SarekOfVulcan (talk) 00:12, 1 July 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for your !vote at my RFA

Thanks!

Thank you, Little Mountain 5, for your support !vote at my RFA. I will be doing my best to make sure that your confidence has not been misplaced. --lifebaka (Talk - Contribs) 18:46, 1 July 2008 (UTC)

RfA thanks

My RfA

I hope the other kids at school play with me...

Thank you for your support in my recent RfA, which closed successfully. I felt the process was a thorough review of my contributions and my demeanor, and I was very gratified to see how many editors took the time to really see what I'm about and how I can be of help to the project. As a result, some editors changed their views during the discussion, and most expressed specific, detailed points to indicate their opinion (whether it was , , or ).

A number of editors were concerned about my level of experience. I was purposeful in not waiting until a particular benchmark occurred before requesting adminship, because I feel - as many do - that adminship is not a reward and that each case is individual. It is true that I am not the most experienced editor around here, but I appreciate that people dug into my contributions enough to reach the conclusion that I seem to have a clue. Also, the best thing about this particular concern is that experience is something an editor - or administrator - can always get more of, and I'll continue doing that, just as I've been doing. (If I seem a little slow at it, feel free to slap me.)

I am a strong believer in the concept that this project is all about the content, and I'm looking forward to contributing wherever I can. Please let me know if I can be of any help. In the meantime, I'm off to school...

Thanks again!

Raleigh, North Carolina

Hay I will talk to you It is really crazy to list all those people who were born or live in Raleigh in this article this is set up for general information only if every city did this it would take 8 hour to read some pages. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 208.104.238.191 (talk) 02:43, 4 July 2008 (UTC)

If you notice, the people in the list is not everyone in Raleigh, just the notable people. Also, as User:JuJube warned you, you are in danger of violating the 3 revert rule. Thanks, LittleMountain5 ^{4th of July!}_{232 years!} 02:55, 4 July 2008 (UTC)

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.

Re Question on Wikimedia Commons: Uploading forecast tracks

I go straight to the Upload work from a government source page

 http://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Upload&uselang=fromgov

and it comes up with a load of empty boxes** so I can just put in the file name and a short description "Advisory xxx". **At least it does now - I have memories of it coming up with the complete template on some occasions in the past but maybe I selected the wrong option. See what it does for you.--Keith Edkins ( Talk ) 15:32, 10 July 2008 (UTC)

Aha! That's how you do it. Thanks! LittleMountain5 17:54, 10 July 2008 (UTC)

My RFA Thanks

Thank you for your support at my RFA, which closed a short while ago as successful. I'm flattered that you find me a great, trustworthy editor. Well, I shall do my best to be trustworthy, but as for great? Well, I am trying to lose weight (grin). Seriously though, your support means a lot to me. StephenBuxton (talk) 21:43, 12 July 2008 (UTC)

Per my RfA

Hi there! Thanks for your recent oppose on my RfA, just thought I'd try and clarify my reasoning for what you pointed out. I know I've certainly made the mistake of blanking a page (never submitted, I tend to realise that i've cleared it as i'm a touchtyper, so I undo it) and there's no reason why it may not have been a good faith edit. It was one of the users first contributions, they deserved a second chance. Vandalism is not defined as a single act. Thank you again for voting, it's a shame you don't find me to be a suitable candidate but I appreciate your opinion. Kind regards — CycloneNimrod ^Talk? 21:32, 13 July 2008 (UTC)

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) 20:38, 16 July 2008 (UTC)

All the best, Ben MacDui ^Talk/Walk 20:28, 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.
