Comment[edit]

Hey, I know an absolute TON about this fair, but I'm unsure as to how the format should go... anyone have any ideas?--Gregoe86 06:01, 19 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, I'm diving in. I have one chunk done, but I'm off to bed for now. Can someone more knowledgable than I please mark that this is a page under construction? I'll add a big chunk more tomorrow. I'd just hate to see my work get deleted, because I have lots more to share.--Gregoe86 06:37, 19 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Just kidding! Found the inuse template. Applying is a go! I'm excited to see this page come into form!--Gregoe86 06:41, 19 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Typo[edit]

"lanters" might actually =planters? Katr67 02:06, 14 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

You might be right. I chose lanterns based on memories of Japanese antique collections of the period. They prominently featuring lanterns, silk and porcelain. I don't recall seeing planters perhaps for containing Bonsai varieties, but that could have fallen out the brain bit bucket. —EncMstr 04:46, 14 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, I think you are right that lanterns make more sense. Whatever Japanese vessels may have been included, they wouldn't be called "planters". Too bad there's no cite for that tidbit... Katr67 05:20, 14 February 2007 (UTC) Nevermind, found one--they were bronze lanterns in fact. [1] Katr67 05:25, 14 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Confused on refs[edit]

Tried to fix a problem with references, specifically those named "Carl" and "Abbott", but I'm not sure I understand what's going on. Help? -Pete (talk) 17:41, 11 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I think I fixed the Abbott one, if it was the right Abbott citation and not the other one. Katr67 (talk) 00:10, 12 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

External Link?[edit]

Just to extinguish any conflict of interest complaints, I work for the Oregon State University Archives. That said, I have a great link to 25 hi-res images of the Lewis and Clark Expo on our Flickr Commons site. Do you guys think this should be added? -neverware (talk) 00:52, 25 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Opening date[edit]

I believe the opening date for the LACCE was on May 28, 1905. President Roosevelt opened the Exposition mechanically be pressing a button in Washington D.C. Vice President Fairbanks attended the event and was the key note speaker when the Exposition opened. Cmguy777 (talk) 02:55, 30 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

How do you know that? —EncMstr (talk) 03:00, 30 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Here is the source link: Oregon World's Fair Opened By The President pdf Cmguy777 (talk) 06:27, 30 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

According to the article President Theodore Roosevelt somehow pressed a button in Washington D.C. and that mechanically started the LACCE in Oregon. Was that button electrically hooked up to the LACCE? I don't know. Cmguy777 (talk) 06:37, 30 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Woman suffrage[edit]

This article should have a section on the woman suffrage movement. See [2], wikisource:en:Portland,_Oregon:_Its_History_and_Builders/Volume_3/Abigail_Scott_Duniway, [3], [4], etc. -Pete Forsyth (talk) 21:32, 23 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
