Oregon Portage Railroad

I've created this article about the first railroad in Oregon, the Oregon Portage Railroad. It was on the redlinks list. I think the first railroad in Oregon certainly deserves quite an article, but it's not that much so far. For those interested: feedback on my talk page, images, maps, or expansion would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! Jsayre64 (talk) 04:31, 13 January 2011 (UTC)

I did a little bit of tidying, etc. I agree this would be a great article to expand! I added links to Henry Villard and Steamboats of the Columbia River, which both have some relevant info. Good start Jsayre! -Pete (talk) 19:55, 21 January 2011 (UTC)

You're Invited! Come Celebrate Wikipedia's 10th Anniversary!

I believe I sent an invitation to all WikiProject Oregon members, but here is another posting regarding this weekend's anniversary celebration just in case:

<font=3> You're invited to help celebrate Wikipedia's 10th anniversary! Visit this link for details. An informal celebration will take place at the AboutUs office located at 107 SE Washington Street, Suite 520 in Portland on Saturday, January 15, 2011. An Open Space Technology meeting is scheduled from 5pm to 7pm, with a party to follow. Admission is free! --Another Believer (Talk) 18:12, 14 January 2011 (UTC)

US Collaboration reactivated & Portal:United States starting next

Casliber recently posted a suggestion on the talk page for WikiProject United States about getting the US Wikipedians Collaboration page going again in an effort to build up articles for GA through FA class. See Wikipedia:U.S. Wikipedians' notice board/USCOTM. After several days of work from him the page is up and ready for action. A few candidates have already been added for you to vote on or you can submit one using the directions provided. If you are looking for inspiration here is a link to the most commonly viewed articles currently under the scope of Wikiproject United States. There are tons of good articles in the various US related projects as well so feel free to submit any article relating to US topics (not just those under the scope of WPUS). This noticeboard is intended for ‘’’All’’’ editors working on US subjects, not just those under WPUS.

The next item I intend to start updating is Portal:United States if anyone is interested in helping. Again this is not specific to WPUS and any help would be greatly appreciated to maximize visibility of US topics. The foundation has already been established its just a matter of updating the content with some new images, biographies and articles. Please let leave a comment on the Portals talk page or let me know if you have any questions or ideas. --Kumioko (talk) 19:21, 15 January 2011 (UTC)
