Talk:Tillamook, Oregon

message: I put up a link on Wikipedia's Tillamook page to my web page for it, but it was rejected. It is an alphabetical directory of businesses in Tillamook. When I find that one of the businesses has a web site, I make a link to it for free. People find the network very useful and easy to use. I was told by a Wikipedia editor, however, that my page was inappropriate. In the interest of fairness and community, please have a look: Tillamook's Online Business Directory After all, there is no community without businesses to serve and support it.
I was in the process of making a link back to Wikipedia from my Tillamook page, but I will have to wait on that to be sure it's reciprocal.
My web site is not "personal." It is copyrighted (since 2002), my business is registered with the State of Oregon, and I am a chamber of commerce member in my community. In addition to Tillamook, I have pages that serve 15 other communities, which cover the entire Oregon coast. I would love to share my work with the Wikipedia community.
I was told to talk about it here instead of resubmitting, but not how to have the editor reconsider their rejection. I'm new to Wikipedia, so I'd appreciate any constructive feedback about my submission or web page.
Best Fishes,

replies: text: My current settings don't support the characters listed above, but see http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary (looks like you'll have to search for "Tillamook"). Note that the sound file given seems to have more of a "muck" sound at the end, while I've always heard it pronounced "mook". Sorry I don't speak IPA, and I speak Pacific Northwest English with influences from the Midwest and South, so that's the best I can do! I can't really "hear" the difference in a lot of vowel sounds, so hopefully someone else can also help. Katr67 (talk) 20:32, 21 November 2007 (UTC)

message: This sentence appears in Tillamook County, Oregon: "Development along U.S. Route 101 to the north of Tillamook during the last part of the 20th century has blocked part of the flood plain of the Wilson River, contributing to repeated winter flooding in the city." It should really be here because it's relevant to Tillamook the city, not so much Tillamook the county. It's uncited (are there any good references?) but as a local, I'm certain it's factual. 4.242.147.140 (talk) 17:18, 9 August 2008 (UTC)

message: Just wanted to note, since I'm on this talkpage for a moment, that in the intro the explanation of the Tillamook people is well-phrased, but it would be good to fit in that their name for themselves was Nehalem, the name Tillamook is from the Chinookan language, and what Nehalem descendants there are today are on one of the reservations farther down the coast; not Coos Bay, I'd have to go look it up on one of the tribe/language pages.  didn't want to clutter up the intro with too much of such an explanation but if somebody can fit it in without too much verbiage...better than than Skookum1-style verbiage no?Skookum1 (talk) 05:26, 10 December 2008 (UTC)

message: "Millions of people visit the cheese factory (located north of Tillamook on Highway 101) each year."
so, that's well over 5000 people (on average) every day of the year who visit the cheese factory? shenanigans.  98.197.160.186 (talk) 18:15, 9 September 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes, they had over a million in 2001, and just under that in 2002, the last year I know of for figures. Aboutmovies (talk) 03:21, 10 September 2010 (UTC)

message: i recall ads in seattle for some ferry to tillamook to experience authentic native feasts, sun aft. i think.  i figured it was a remote village on a beach, maybe 40 mins away!
which makes ZERO sense, after now reading the wiki.
so i must ask:
1) is there some village/reservation nearby which goes loosely by "(greater) tillamook", but would better match "chinook fishing village" or the like?
2) is there one a lot closer to seattle with a SIMILAR NAME?
we have plenty of natives and potlatches in seattle, so it musta been a big deal to try to entice us to visit for one!  as in "you've had the seattle ones, now experience an 'authentic' native feast only an hour away...."
