Welcome back, welcome back, welcome back, Mr. COTW

Howdy after a long message absence to those of WikiProject Oregon. To answer a common question, no you did not get removed from the COTW notification list, I was just too busy to send out the notification for the last change. So, thank you to all those who helped improve Central Oregon and Mount Jefferson, as well as those who added infoboxes and adopted a governor. For this edition of the COTW, we have partly by request and in honor of the return of college football, Duck football and Beaver football. If you are a fan of neither, maybe go back and work on a governor or add infoboxes this time around. As always, click here to opt out of these messages, or click here to make a suggestion for a future COTW. Aboutmovies (talk) 06:27, 15 August 2009 (UTC)

		The COTW award from WPOR.
		Thanks for leading the way in last week's Collaboration of the Week! For your work improving Mount Jefferson, keep up the good work. Aboutmovies (talk) 06:49, 15 August 2009 (UTC)

Thanks, although I didn't do too much... :) Little Mountain 5 15:37, 15 August 2009 (UTC)

Upper and Lower Table Rock

		The Original Barnstar
		For tireless work on improving both Upper and Lower Table Rock and Roxy Ann Peak to Good Article status. ZabMilenko 03:51, 2 September 2009 (UTC)

Hey! I was planning on giving you one... but you beat me to it! Thanks for the barnstar and all the work you've put into the articles. :) Little Mountain 5 14:12, 2 September 2009 (UTC)

I'll second that, is this your first GA? Very impressive :) -Pete (talk) 23:54, 2 September 2009 (UTC)

Ah, I see you already got Roxy Ann Peak to GA…missed that one. Well anyway, keep up the good work! -Pete (talk) 23:55, 2 September 2009 (UTC)

Thanks, although Zab deserves at least half the credit. :) Little Mountain 5 01:55, 3 September 2009 (UTC)

igloo

Hi Little Mountain 5, and thanks for your interest in igloo. Before using the program, please read the following information carefully - failure to do so may result in your test access being revoked.

igloo is a JavaScript-powered, browser-based anti-vandalism tool, which means you do not have to download or install anything on your computer and it will work on multiple operating systems. However, it does mean that the performance relies on that of your browser and it may operate more slowly than downloaded programs. You must have either Mozilla Firefox 3+ or Google Chrome to use igloo, as it is currently incompatible with other browsers.

igloo relies on a system called iglooNet to assist you in finding and reverting vandalism. It is this system that transforms the program from a pretty version of recent changes to an actual anti-vandalism tool. Naturally, this is beyond the power of a client-side program, and igloo will regularly communicate with an external, non-Wikimedia server. Because of things like server logs, and the iglooNet abuse tracker, this may allow your IP address to be attached to your username - something which is otherwise impossible on Wikipedia. If you do not want this to happen, you MUST NOT USE IGLOO.

If you decide that you do want to test igloo, please keep in mind that it not wholly stable, and you may experience problems where it performs an invalid edit, or other unwanted action. If this happens, fix any mistakes you've made, apologise to anyone you've offended, and let me know. I don't take any responsibility for your use of the program - if you aren't willing to fix any errors, don't use it.

igloo is already quite powerful. The following is a simple guide to using the program:

The igloo interface is similar to that of other software, including huggle. Recent changes appear on the left, and diffs appear on the right.
igloo sorts diffs based on iglooNet data so that edits most likely to be vandalism are displayed first. You can press spacebar to view the top diff, or click on any diff to view it directly.
When you find vandalism, press 'Q' or click the revert button to revert the change, and issue a warning to the user. igloo automatically issues the correct warning. It will ignore existing warnings that are more than 5 days old, and restart from the beginning.
The iglooNet assertion system tags clean and dirty edits with colour coding - if it suspects an edit is vandalism, it will be flagged as red, and if it believes it to be clean, it will tag it green.

If you have any questions, comments, suggestions or other feedback, I'd love to know. If you hate it, and won't be using it again, please let me know why - and I'll remove you from the test whitelist. If you now try and use igloo, you should find that it will allow you to use the program. Thanks, and good luck! Ale_Jrb ^talk 14:23, 4 September 2009 (UTC)

I just noticed this pic and it's really cool! Cheers, Katr67 (talk) 21:33, 8 September 2009 (UTC)

Thanks! I think it's actually neater in real life than on camera though. :) Little Mountain 5 23:53, 8 September 2009 (UTC)

Automated tools

Please do not use automated tools indiscriminately, as you did here, restoring vandalism. You are responsible for your edits made with automated tools, which can be removed if abused. ↪REDVERS ^{The internet is for porn} 14:43, 9 September 2009 (UTC)

Sorry about that. I'm helping to test a new automated tool named igloo, and all the kinks aren't worked out yet. I assure you that reverting the reverter was not what I intended to do. I realized what happened, and tried to revert myself, but found that you beat me to it. Again, I apologize for the mistake. Thanks for your concern, Little Mountain 5 23:47, 9 September 2009 (UTC)

peer review

I will be glad to look at it again, but it may take me a day or two. Ruhrfisch _><>°^° 02:25, 19 September 2009 (UTC)

Great, thanks! Little Mountain 5 15:20, 19 September 2009 (UTC)

Goodbye summer, hello Dolly!

Hello WikiProject Oregon member, it is time for another Collaboration of the Week. First, thanks to those who helped out the last few weeks improving the Portland Hempstalk Festival and the Munson Valley Historic District articles. This week we have by request Rasheed Wallace and the Oregon Zoo. The later should have lots of recent news with the new/old exhibit opening.

Roxy Ann Fire

Hi, I started some info about the Deer Ridge Fire over there at Roxy Ann Peak. Its about 9pm and I am stuck at work with no camera. It is a long shot, but if you can see the mountain from where you are could you try and grab a snapshot of the fire spots? It would be an unusual picture to have. (/me kicks himself again for not bringing his camera). ZabMilenko 03:58, 22 September 2009 (UTC)

I got several pictures of it, but none with actual flames. I have some better, unobstructed pictures on my phone (one with the Prescott Park sign in it), that I might be able to upload later. (I was kicking myself for going up to Prescott Park without my camera). The fire department says it's burned over 600 acres so far, but they've got it mostly contained. Little Mountain 5 14:35, 22 September 2009 (UTC)

Hey, I spent a couple seasons as a wildland firefighter (once in your neck of the woods, pun unintended), and alas I don't think you'll be able to get pictures of the flames unless the thing really blows up. I don't think you want that, although flames are awesome. </pyromania> Though it's unlikely my friend who was my former crew boss went out on this particular fire, I'll check just in case they have some better pics. Stay safe! Katr67 (talk) 22:22, 22 September 2009 (UTC)

I don't know, he might have, I heard people all the way from Bend showed up at this fire! Thankfully, its out now. (Although it looks like half the mountain burned down). Thanks, Little Mountain 5 23:39, 22 September 2009 (UTC)

Of course, thankfully nobody was hurt either. I will be heading up myself probably Thursday to see what I can take pictures of, if I can. Is Prescott Park open to the public right now? ZabMilenko 11:11, 23 September 2009 (UTC)

I think it is, but I'm not sure. Little Mountain 5 14:20, 23 September 2009 (UTC)

RfA

Hi. Just out of curiosity, have you ever considered running for adminship? –Juliancolton | ^Talk 19:12, 22 September 2009 (UTC)

I've been considering it for a while now, but with the current standards, I doubt I would pass. What do you think? Thanks, Little Mountain 5 23:40, 22 September 2009 (UTC)
