Talk:List of rivers of Oregon

message: If tables aren't implemented (as proposed in the previous section), then the section "Listing by tributary structure" -> "Pacific Ocean" ought to be divided into (1) Columbia River, & (2) all other streams emptying directly into the sea. The present organization makes it very difficult to find the rivers/streams in the second group. -- llywrch (talk) 20:21, 2 September 2020 (UTC)

message: * Millicoma River 9 miles, tributary of Coos River, has east and west forks, join at Allegany, Oregon: 
east fork, 
west fork; (why doesn't it appear in one of these?:    )

replies: text: I have no idea why it was overlooked, except that OGN says it is sometimes called the North Fork Coos River, although the USBGN uses the name Millicoma. Strange. Katr67 03:12, 31 October 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  to do 

message: As this list gets longer and more complete, is there some way to make it less unwieldy? Perhaps there is some way to make the minor tributary creeks be in collapsible sections. Other ideas are welcome. Katr67 (talk) 06:07, 5 September 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Why unwieldy?  Shouldn't a list of rivers (better named List of Streams) show all of them?  Are you suggesting that major, middling, and minor be distinguished?  —EncMstr (talk) 14:28, 5 September 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Of course it should show all of them, but maybe hide the lesser ones unless the reader wants to see them. I was thinking of the creeks, especially ones that may not be notable enough to be linked, not to disrespect Finetooth's efforts to figure out the tributary structures. I trust the Johnson Creek tributaries will eventually have articles, thanks to the efforts of Finetooth and others. I guess I'm thinking in terms of the future--if we add every creek to the tributary structure, that list is going to be long! With large indents, and thus harder to navigate. Meanwhile, I'm going to try to find any stream named a "river" on GNIS that isn't in here yet and add them. Katr67 (talk) 18:33, 5 September 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: As I was adding the Alsea River tribs, I had the same thought as Katr67. Lots of these trifling streams will never have their own articles, methinks. If I keep on in this way, the list is going to become enormous. I like doing the trib structures, and I'll almost certainly do more unless I'm wrestled to the ground and told to cut it out. We might eventually end up with a complete list of all the named streams in Oregon. From doing the 40 or so miles of the Alsea, I can guarantee that a complete list will be very long indeed. I don't know what to do about it, however. I'm a neophyte when it comes to things like collapsing sections. Finetooth (talk) 21:27, 5 September 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Collapsible sections?

This is a list from NOAA of flood warnings. The drop-down menus for the tributaries might give some idea which creeks might be good candidates for inclusion in the list and for articles, as they may be more notable for their "floodproneness".

message: I found this funny little list, but it doesn't have Oregon in it. Finding the info and adding it to the list might be a good afternoon's project for someone. Katr67 (talk) 22:49, 29 September 2008 (UTC)
