Talk:Portland metropolitan area, Oregon

message: How big is this metro area? One part of this article says that it includes parts of some counties (Skamania for one) and another part of this article says it includes all of those counties.
I added up the areas of all the counties and came up with 6719 square miles total- way more than the 400-600 square miles quoted.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.117.176.209 (talk) 15:49, 4 September 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Sorry, this article needs a lot of work. Much of it comes across as original research and someone's personal opinion as to what is the metro area. Officially, per the U.S. Census Bureau, the Portland MSA is: (page 45)Clackamas County, OR; Columbia County, OR; Multnomah County, OR; Washington County, OR; Yamhill County, OR; Clark County, WA; Skamania County, WA so if you want to know the area, add up each county's area. As to the 550-600 quoted, it was referring only to the Oregon side and only that land that is urbanized. Hopefully that helps. Aboutmovies (talk) 11:19, 5 September 2008 (UTC)

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: This article focuses on the Portland-Vancouver-Hillsboro, OR-WA MSA (Metropolitan Statistical Area).  
The Portland-Vancouver-Salem, OR-WA CSA (Combined Statistical Area) is a different entity.  It includes the Salem, OR MSA; the Albany, OR MSA; the Corvallis, OR MSA; and the Longview, WA MSA in addition to Portland-Vancouver-Hillsboro.  Go here and scroll down to number 18 to see Combined_statistical_area.  
But the link to P-V-S CSA redirects here, which clearly is an error and obstructs information about the actual CSA.  
I don't know how to undo a redirect, or if there was a correct separate article on the Portland-Vancouver-Salem, OR-WA CSA that would be restored if I undid that redirect, or if I should create a stub for that, or what. 
It also looks like this is not a much watched page and as if this comment is likely to go into the ether, which is kind of discouraging.
