If the Arboretum is no longer there, how is it a site of interest? Katr67 06:02, 8 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Claim of Sheridan having had a mind control facility[edit]
Researcher and author Fritz Springmeier in his book The Illuminati Formula Used to Create
an Undetectable Total Mind Controlled Slave (co-authored with Cisco Wheeler) mentions Sheridan, OR as a place which used to have a facility for trauma-based mind control of children. In chapter 2 it reads: "One, which is no longer in use for moving children, was a private air strip at Sheridan, OR which was beside a large lumber mill. The lumber mill had an agreement to secretly house the children who had their mouths tapped. Neighbors in the area were bought off, and warned that if they talked they would be in trouble for broaching national security. The area has lots of mills joined by train tracks, which were used to shuttle the children around. Tied into this network was a Catholic Monastery which lies between Sheridan and McMinnville, close to the rail network." I don't suppose this would be easily verifiable, even if it were true. And it probably would be difficult even to find mention of these claims in reliable sources. I leave this quote and the link here in case someone should be able to elaborate on it. __meco (talk) 09:59, 4 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Myself having lived in Sheridan for over 15 years, and knowing residence who have and still live there for a much greater time than myself, I feel confident that such a suggestion is absurd. However, I have not read the research you are referring to.
As someone who grew up in Sheridan, I feel that the climate box displayed has issues. First of all, it appears to display data for Wilsonville, Oregon, which is no where near Sheridan. My bigger complaint, though, is the layout of the data boxes themselves. It displays record highs, lows, and averages for each month, as well as for the year (from Jan through Dec). What years does this data come from? This chart is incomplete, and fairly irrelevant to Sheridan, Oregon, and I would like to propose the fore mentioned changes.

The only issue was that the title was not updated. The data is Sheridan's, and it is a standard Wikipedia template used for many cities, thus no changes are needed. If you want to know the source, see the footnotes, which take you to the source.Aboutmovies (talk) 02:46, 18 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I have already been to the source, which has been changed since my original comment. Having reviewed the new source, it appears that the only thing left is to change the title of the box, which is easily done. When I made my original comment, I was still new to editing Wikipedia, and uncertain how to go about it.
Um, no, the source did not change. Somebody changed the template used, but the source remained the same (note the zip code in the URL for both is 97378 and, again, the data stayed the same as well). But thanks for fixing the title. Aboutmovies (talk) 07:46, 20 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
