Hi, I took care of the major issue of the lack of inline citations on Crash test dummy on WP:FARC, and hope that it satisfies your comments.

On a side note, thanks for updating the new WP:USCOTW while I was away last week. It's good to know that that "mob" described in the lead of the article actually consists of several people. Also thought you might like to sign under the list for "Maintenance" under Participants; I'm hoping that by having a solid list more devotion will come to USCOTW.

Thanks, AndyZ _t 00:37, 19 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

• Right, I agree. I started redesigning the page to promote the idea of USCOTW; perhaps somewhere along the nomination instructions I'll add a recommendation that the topic is broader and affects a greater range of people. AndyZ _t 01:17, 19 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for getting Wikipedia:WikiProject Oregon kickstarted. Though it was just you, me, and one other person voting, I get the sense that people would rather work on Oregon as a FAC improver rather than Portland, Oregon. Will you join in the discussion at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Oregon so we can see how we all can make a Featured Article? the iBook of the Revolution 04:52, 15 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hey it's Steven and I was wondering what subdivison would you say Medford is? Like as an example the subdivion type for DC is Federal District and the subdivion name District of Columbia. So please get back to me as soon as possible. --Steven91 00:03, 18 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks to your help I tried to make a data table after the model of Washington DC. Now it's like my first major change and if you see something wrong with it, you can ahead and change it, and the I actualyl deleted a lot of stuff from the DC table model and didn't add a picture. Since you are more skilled at this please add freely, but I tried...... --Steven91 00:47, 18 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the feedback. I'm making one from the Eugene table as we speak, or type. But I found a pic for the seal and saved it under my photobucket: http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a363/Stevenc05/logo.jpg . Now can you help me with the process of putting the pic in there.

Alright, well I got it mostly done I guess I can post it now, all I need is to check a few facts, also the motto is still the same as Eugene's for now. I did get the map working though. One more thing the actual census in 2000 was obviouslty a different number. However in the article there is a number for the people living in Medford for 2005. And when I use the year 2005 it goes to a red link. Should I switch to 200 or 2005? Doesn't really matter since you can just change it when you put in the pic. Also I have a pic in the discussion of the article. --Steven91 01:09, 18 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry to be picky but can the logo be bigger, or is it stuck like that? Also thx for finding the motto. --Steven91 01:19, 18 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Quicl off topic question. How do you left justify stuff? I'm putting those tag things on my page and want to know how to like make a new row with them.

Thanks for the welcome! I've been busy tweaking stuff on existing city articles when I run across it and I did a bit of cleanup on the Eugene article. I plan to de-redlink other cities when I think I have enough on them to write about. If you get a minute, check out my contributions and let me know if I'm on the right track! I take it y'all want to concentrate on the overall Oregon article first? P.S. I'm not a sports fan (except Eugene Ems) but I'm a Duck too. Katr67 20:19, 7 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Well, I will see what I can do with the Medford seal. I'm still waiting on the city to send any info. I tend not to go and grab the seals right off the web anymore. Some cities are really protective about their symbols. Corvallis has a flag and seal, but has very strict terms about who can use it (although they were very nice about everything). Getting their permission first avoids a lot of trouble.

I appreciate the barnstar, but not sure I deserve it...any additions you wish to see, let me know, but without your accurate summary of the article a month ago, I don't think I would have been so determined to get it in better shape...you were the driving force.

Thanks for uploading Image:Generals.gif. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. 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 images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BetacommandBot 21:01, 10 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

A tag has been placed on Template:Oregontasks requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section T3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a deprecated or orphaned template. After seven days, if it is still unused and the speedy deletion tag has not been removed, the template will be deleted.

If the template is intended to be substituted, please feel free to remove the speedy deletion tag and please consider putting a note on the template's page indicating that it is substituted so as to avoid any future mistakes (<noinclude>{{transclusionless}}</noinclude>).
