Talk:Bear Creek (Rogue River tributary)

message: Looks like this page has an avid wikipedia reader on there. :-)  Two of the images on that page are thumbs from this article.  Where's the wikipedia backlink though? Zab (talk) 06:29, 29 April 2009 (UTC)

We should start keeping a list at WP:ORE,  has several out there. As for the public domain pics, I suppose they don't have to attribute a darn thing, only if they steal borrow the text...

message: I've been working on Rogue River (Oregon), looking at the tributary articles also, and I was happy to find this one with so much nice detail. I tweaked a couple of things, and I thought it might be helpful if I explained. Geobox 1 has been superseded by an upgraded version called Geobox 2. The newer version has all the functions of the older version and does a bunch of new things as well. To upgrade, all you have to is to add a pipe between "Geobox" and "River" in the template. I did that for this article, and then I was able to add the little flag logo. The new geobox can handle two maps, and one of them could be a locator map into which the template, using the mouth coordinates already in the geobox, will automatically insert a red dot indicating the mouth of the river in relation to the whole state of Oregon. You can read about other options at Template:Geobox. One of the other small changes I made was to add a hyphen to "a 19-mile (31 km) biking/hiking path" by adding "| adj = on" to the conversion template. I looked in Oregon Geographic Names to try to find the name origin for the "Bear" in "Bear Creek", but it says merely that the creek is "now called by a name of little significance." However, it goes on to say that the Oregonian of November 9, 1913, has "a story about the origin of the name Bear for this creek." The new geobox will accommodate a "Name origin" field if this story can be tracked down and seems credible. Finetooth (talk) 21:51, 22 May 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: Nice job; some ideas

message: I was just reading this article, and it is very well written and flows nicely, but it seems like the Bear Creek Greenway section doesn't really fit. It contains enough information to merit its own article, and it is fairly notable in the Medford region. Any comments, suggestions? Thanks, LittleMountain5 02:53, 6 July 2009 (UTC)

replies: text: Object! Object!  Just kidding...  Both the article and the section over in Medford, Oregon look good. ZabMilenkoHow am I driving? 06:48, 14 July 2009 (UTC)

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: It has become very hard for me to keep my cool regarding southern Oregon's history. So many things are twisted and need to be replaced, Bear Creek is one of them I only go on documentation that is credible, I'm going to get to my point about bear creek the first writing was from trapper's like Jedediah Smith that mentioned a valley with a tributary that ran through it with shade trees and Grassy areas and how it was a place that Bear's could in joy fishing for carp and lay around. This became a Turkey shot for the trapper's so it became known as Bear Creek it really amazes me that nothing is mentioned about the trapper's that had become a huge help in surveys of the western expansion, I could go on and on about the twisted history of the Rough valley but I'm hoping to get some feedback thanks Fixhistoryman101 (talk) 02:01, 20 May 2021 (UTC)
