Willanch

Hi,

I'm trying to format the IPA on WP. A couple years ago at Annie Miner Peterson you added what might have been IPA for the village of Willanch, Wu'leˈ'ntq. Or is that the Coos orthography? — kwami (talk) 10:46, 19 November 2010 (UTC)

Hi, you mean these changes. I have no idea! This is how it is printed in the reference I used, on page 153. Wu-curly quote-le-straight quote-curly quote-ntq. Like I said in my comment, I need help! I don't know what the marks should be called, or if the typesetter is using actual diacritical marks or what! It's a popular work, part of the Oregon Literature Series, not a scholarly one, so I don't know how accurate it is. Here is a transcription of the original text, written in 1939, which renders it as "wu'le"ntc". Sorry I can't be more help. Thanks for trying to fix this.

Lower White River Wilderness

Hi, Val. You made changes to Lower White River Wilderness a while ago, and I want to answer your question. No, not all of those activities are available at all wildernesses. For example, there might be a wilderness without a fishing spot. MetaCow (talk) 23:49, 24 November 2010 (UTC)

Tagging

Redirects I'm just tagging pages that don't have tags--it's nothing specific to Oregon-related articles or to redirects. If you want, I can add |class=redirect to the tags to mark them as redirect-class articles. —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 22:46, 28 November 2010 (UTC)

I think we'd rather not have the tags at all. Is there a mandate that all pages must have tags now, including redirects? Valfontis (talk) 22:50, 28 November 2010 (UTC)

Dee

I really want to start a music store here. Except I can't even tap a beat. And you have a poor word choice in this- surprising for you! tedder (talk) 06:34, 10 December 2010 (UTC)

Ohhh. I get it. Hee hee. I thought I had several poor word choices in that Dee article, trying to work with what was added (which frankly, I swear on my WP:OWN, I would rather delete). Ugh. Then I checked your link. I can't see the poor word choice--point it out to me? Nice way to welcome me back, nitpicker! But I hope you are well! Sorry I never write. P.S. In your travels to Hood River County, did you happen to go to Dee? Valfontis (talk) 06:42, 10 December 2010 (UTC)

Never mind, I found it. Valfontis (talk) 06:45, 10 December 2010 (UTC)

Heh. I was proud of myself. It would be like the Mojave phone booth. Nobody would understand it, but at least people would know I truly am crazy. All is well, 12-14hour days have been.. interesting. We miss Oregon, of course. tedder (talk) 06:56, 10 December 2010 (UTC)

DYK for Spruce Production Division

On 31 December 2010, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Spruce Production Division, which you created or substantially expanded. The fact was ... that during World War I the United States Army recruited over 28,000 soldiers for the Spruce Production Division, which harvested Sitka spruce in the Pacific Northwest? You are welcome to check how many hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, quick check) and add it to DYKSTATS if it got over 5,000. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page.
