Talk:List of Oregon state agencies

message: I created this list by compiling the entries from the two referenced sources, each of which is comprehensive but incomplete.  I divided it into alphabetical sections by letter and placed navigation boxes at top and bottom.  I am now in the process of wikifying the entries (bracketing for internal links, formatting as bulleted list entries, and conforming to a consistent style and alphabetization scheme).  I'll move the "remainder needs clean-up" tag to the point where I leave off each session.  My mind gets fuzzy fast on this kind of work, so I need to step away once in awhile and do something else.  Once wikification is complete, I propose to begin de-redlinking, both by creating articles and stubs, and by combining some of the entries into single articles (I can see right off the bat that it would probably make sense to create a single Oregon Professional Licensing and Regulatory Boards article rather than an individual article for each profession.  One of the primary purposes of getting the gazillion government entities covered is so that Government of Oregon can be brought up to feature quality and length without bogging it down with minutiae that should be covered elsewhere, or having it peppered with redlinks.  That's my tentative plan and its status.  I'm open to suggestion.  -- "J-M" (Jgilhousen) 23:16, 21 December 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Added the listdev tag (creating the "This list is incomplete" message) to the article.  The list was drawn primarily from executive branch sources, so is missing courts, legislative agencies and commissions, and "hybrid" (quasi-governmental and semi-privatized organizations still operating with taxpayer funds and governmental oversight, but no longer staffed entirely by civil servants).  -- "J-M" (Jgilhousen) 11:36, 23 December 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: The Oregon Forest Resources Institute (OFRI) is correctly included in this list of Oregon state agencies. It is in fact a state agency. But the description at the top of the Wikipedia article about the agency, the one you see when you hover your mouse over the name of the Institute, does not say it's a state agency. Instead it is described as "a publicly-funded forestry trade organization. It operates as the timber industry's de facto lobbying organization in Oregon." Is there any way to change that description to quote from OFRI's enabling legislation (ORS 526.605) to make clear that it is a state agency, created by the Oregon Legislature in 1991, to support Oregon’s forest products industry and the wise stewardship of natural resources for the benefit of Oregonians? Here's how OFRI is described in the Oregon Blue Book: "The Oregon Forest Resources Institute (OFRI) is statutorily mandated to support and enhance Oregon’s forest products industry. OFRI provides forest and forestry education programs for the general public, K-12 teachers and students, and forestland owners." Jane at OFRI (talk) 18:24, 4 May 2023 (UTC)
