Talk:2006 Oregon gubernatorial election

Dates for next term of govenor

The date that the next governor would take office is incorrect. I am almost 100% positive that it is not January 1st, however I am not sure what the correct answer is. For the time being I will change it to Jan 2007 to Jan 2011. Davidpdx

In case anyone wonders where I got the information for the changes discussed above please see List of Governors of Oregon. Davidpdx

Updating or creating articles for other candidates

Suggestion: Someone should in all fairness start page information on Ron Saxton, Vicki Walker and Jason Atkinson. Also the pages for Kevin Mannix and Pete Sorenson are stubs, so they need some attention as well. Davidpdx 11:51, September 6, 2005

The page for Kevin Mannix is fixed. Davidpdx 10:57, September 7, 2005

Rewrote the page for Pete Sorenson Davidpdx 14:19, 30 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Wrote an article for Ron Saxton, still need to do one for Jason Atkinson though. Davidpdx 12:52, 20 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Changing Ex to former

Just a note to the person who changed Ex to former, the wording should remain the same for each person out of fairness. Therefore, I changed the wording back to Ex as were all the other candidates. Davidpdx 14:54, 18 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Ben Westlund

I thought Ben Westlund was a Republican.[1] Or is he listed as an independent here because he is contemplating a bid as an independent?--Clipdude 08:55, 21 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

According to the infomation I've seen, he is in fact contemplating a bid as an independant. This is mainly because of the fact Republicans will most likely nominate Kevin Mannix or another party member that has better name recognition. He has not yet made a decision, but if he changes his mind and runs as a Republican, I'll make sure to update the information. My guess is he won't run. In terms of the number of candidates, the field is getting quite crowded right now. Davidpdx 04:26, 27 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Posting of Information by Walker Campaign

I would like to caution the person or persons from the Vicki Walker Campaign for Governor User:12.7.120.9 against posting information. The information provided is biased which goes against the central tenant of Wikipedia. Articles should be NOPV and let the reader decide how to interpret the information provided.

Westlund Announcement

To the person who moved Westlund from the possibly candidate category to running I reverted the change because based on what I saw on the Oregonlive website as well as his own personal site, he has not yet announced. When he does announce, please provide a link to the newspaper article that has a story about his announcement, like I have for the other candidates. Thanks..

Conflict of Interest Campaigns

I urge those who are part of a campaign not to edit on Wikipedia. This is a conflict of interest and against the NPOV guidelines of Wikipedia. Any POV edits will be reverted by myself or other editors. Davidpdx 11:43, 28 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I'm sorry; I just added W. Ames Curtright to the Republican candidate list because I have heard his radio commercials on KXL and he has a campaign website. While I am part of *a* campaign, I am not part of *his* campaign, and since I did not offer any information on him (either positive or negative), I don't feel that my small changes have compromizes NPOV goals. However, feel free to remove him from the list and the one on "Oregon_election,_2006" if you wish to undo the minor change I made. —Nathan Dahlin, 10:42PM 19 April 2006 (PST)
