message: I'm not volunteering to be a worker bee here since I know virtually nothing of eastern Oregon other than what it is not, but there's not really anything about geography in the geography section.  Yet, as with any west US region, its geography is known, distinctive, and full of interesting things to learn.  Anybody want to help?  Were I more involved in Wikipedia, I'd be tempted to simply delete the late Sept 2018 version and start over.  Geography is landforms, patterns of land settlement and use, water or lack of it . . .Moabalan (talk) 18:12, 23 September 2018 (UTC)

message: I rewrote the sentence on railroads which wrongly credited the Union Pacific with the first railroad in Eastern Oregon.
the History is pretty complex.    I am wondering though, if maybe the section should be renamed  "Transportation in Eastern Oregon"
It seems that 'Transportation' is sort of a pro-active alternative to 'Isolation' and would open the door to
a discussion of all aspects of the transporation infrastructure in Eastern Oregon which is critical to understanding the region.Rvannatta 07:03, 23 October 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Absolutely. I just intended the section names as a quick stab at the problem, subject to revision. "Transportation" would definitely be an improvement. Of course, the "in" part is a bit strange, since the current section has more with transportation "to and from." But, that's probably not worth worrying about. -Pete 08:08, 23 October 2007 (UTC)

message: Is there a reason that "Eastern Oregon," "Western Oregon," etc. are capitalized? I don't think they should be. -Pete 08:12, 23 October 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Did you ever see my reponse in this discussion? FWIW, the legislative style manual (thus the Oregon Revised Statutes) say don't capitalize regions, while it appears The Oregonian does capitalize regions. My personal opinion is that they should be capitalized, but if consensus runs the other way I don't care that much. Katr67 18:08, 23 October 2007 (UTC)
replies: text:  I had missed that response, thanks! Since it seems there is no clear "correct" answer, I think the opinion of our resident gnome/copyeditor should win out! -Pete 01:52, 25 October 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Aww, gee. I kinda waffled about Oregon Coast actually. But at the risk of being regionalist chauvanist, I'd say these regions are important to us here in the region, and are understood by us as distinct regions, and thus should be capitalized. In contrast, I recently nixed "Mid-Valley" as being worthy of its own article. Capitalizing a microregion like that, if it's not a wine AVA or something, is a bit pretentious, I think. YMMV. Katr67 02:45, 25 October 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I would be inclined to agree with BOTH the legislative style manual, and the Oregonian.  With the context of our laws, the capitalized places are more appropriate for places and things that legally exist.   Within the context of the Oregonian, they are communities of interest and geography that are well understood, if ill defined on the edges.   It seems to me that the fact that
there is an article about the place "Eastern Oregon" is more or less self authenticating as to it being a significant community.
My inclination is to be fairly agressive about capitalizing names of specific places whether it be a road junction as in "Staley's Junction" or a larger place such as half the state.Rvannatta 15:03, 25 October 2007 (UTC)

message: Just a heads up that the stack of photos is creating a lot of white space in iE. I don't have time to fix it right now. I believe in looks fine in Firefox, but it should be laid out to look good in all browsers. Katr67 (talk) 23:25, 11 June 2009 (UTC)

message: It may be more accurate to let each city stand on its own in the chart as the chart is not talking about the major Eastern Oregon metropolitan areas. If we consider Burns and  Hines to be one city than La Grande and Island City also need to be grouped together, as do John Day and Canyon City.  Athena and Weston may also need to be grouped together as they as very close in proximity and also share a school district. Instead of bunching all these cities together, it may be better to let each city stand on its own. Eaglecap Backpack (talk) 16:38, 15 June 2009 (UTC)

message: The second paragraph of the lead is a more developed version of what's in the "Climate and ecology" section. The first three sentences of both duplicate each other. Should the second paragraph of the lead be integrated into "Climate and ecology"? Fishlandia (talk) 09:03, 3 January 2016 (UTC)
