Greetings once again to members of the best encyclopedia online about Oregon (aka WP:ORE)! Last week we improved Neil Goldschmidt to close to GA level, and moved the Wells Fargo Center from Stub to Start for the Collaboration of the Week. This week we’re clowning around with some bozo from Oregon, Pinto Colvig, and then in an attempt to garner another DYK, the rather stubby Cooper Spur. As always, any contribution is appreciated, and to opt out of these messages visit here.
As we have quite a few new members over the last six months, I’ll make another pitch for our various subprojects. Listed here, you will find a variety of groups focused on specific areas of Oregon from transportation to culture. Not only can you sign up and coordinate work there, but each often has useful sources and templates related to that topic. No pressure, just an introduction to those new to the project. Adios.

- Thanks for the update! I'll do what I can. Little Mountain 5 (talk) 17:23, 18 February 2008 (UTC)
Copyright problems with Image:GoogleAerial.jpg
- I could not find anything more than the website, ([1]), I listed, so I guess that means it's gone. Little Mountain 5 (talk) 15:44, 21 February 2008 (UTC)
- That website is the only info you need. If you want it saved you would have to contact Google Earth and get permission from them to upload it to Wikipedia, which I'm sure they would do for a licensing fee. Aboutmovies (talk) 16:03, 21 February 2008 (UTC)
- I don't (and I don't think Wikipedia does), need that picture enough to pay a fee for it. I will just take my own picture one of these days and upload it then. Little Mountain 5 (talk) 01:23, 22 February 2008 (UTC)
- Sounds good. That's what is preferred due to the various copyright issues that come up, as you are now aware off. Best not to find things off the web, except federal government sites where many times the items are public domain. When you have time Wikipedia:Copyrights is a good thing to read. Aboutmovies (talk) 03:42, 22 February 2008 (UTC)
- I'll read it right away. Thanks! Little Mountain 5 (talk) 15:32, 22 February 2008 (UTC)

Replaceable fair use Image:GoogleAerial.jpg
![Replaceable fair use](http://up.wiki.x.io/wikipedia/en/thumb/f/f7/Nuvola_apps_important.svg/32px-Nuvola_apps_important.svg.png)
Thanks for uploading Image:GoogleAerial.jpg. I noticed the description page specifies that the media is being used under a claim of fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first non-free content criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed media could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this media is not replaceable, please:
- Go to the media description page and edit it to add
{{di-replaceable fair use disputed}}
, without deleting the original replaceable fair use template. - On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.
Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.
If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per our non-free content policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. VegitaU (talk) 01:37, 23 February 2008 (UTC)Our weekly COTW message from WPOR
Talk pages
Just so you know, it's considered a bit rude by many to correct other people's posts on talk pages, per WP:TALK#Editing comments. We all know AM makes a lot of typos, but he gets his message across. If you absolutely can't stand it, I'd suggest a simple edit summary of "correct spelling" or "sp". Cheers. Katr67 (talk) 06:06, 28 February 2008 (UTC)

March 14 OR COTW
Hello again or welcome if you are new to WP:WikiProject Oregon! Last week we did a picture drive and a NRHP creation drive. It’s hard to track the picture results, but I know I saw quite a few pictures added, so great job. With NRHP we added 7 that I saw: Mitchell Recreation Area, Salem First United Methodist Church, Portland City Hall, Crater Lake Lodge, Central Library (Portland, Oregon), Watchman Lookout Station, and Alvin T. Smith House; with most now nominated for DYK’s! So great work everybody.
This week, its back to stubs with one of the largest newspapers in the state, The Register-Guard, and a request with Oregon Coast. Feel free to help with either one, and the paper article is so short a DYK should be pretty easy to get (just need 5X expansion). As always, to opt out, opt in, or suggest future collaborative efforts, click here. Aboutmovies (talk) 00:01, 15 March 2008 (UTC)Secret page
Great job! Sorry for just now getting to this, sometimes I miss things on my watchlist :) I don't have an award right now, maybe in the future. If you don't mind telling me, how did you stumble upon my secret page? (If it involves telling the location, then; well, don't tell me :) ) Cheers.

- I can't believe I never thought of that! Thanks. Cheers :) Maximillion Pegasus (talk) 02:59, 20 March 2008 (UTC)
