Talk:Constitution of Oregon

Ongoing work?

The edit history seems to indicate no activity for about a month. Is someone actively working on the lists to turn them into encyclopedic text? -- "J-M" (Jgilhousen) 03:48, 19 December 2006 (UTC)

I'm not sure, but that would definitely be a welcome improvement. I have suggested this article for WikiProject Oregon's Collaboration of the Week. Äþelwulf Talk to me. 10:32, 19 December 2008 (UTC)

Article I

I removed the following section from the article. There's no reason we should have a detailed table of Article I's sections, without covering the other Articles in similar detail.

However, the wikilinks contained within it seem useful, and maybe worth including either in a future version of this article, or in the Oregon Constitution pages on WikiSource. -Pete (talk) 17:38, 20 December 2008 (UTC)
