Talk:2004 Oregon Ballot Measure 37 and 2007 Oregon Ballot Measure 49

message: I think this article is in need of some clean-up and reorganization.  I'm proposing a new structure, for example clear pros and cons sections with better referencing.  There are also some violations of NPOV which should be cleaned up.  Any thoughts on how best to accomplish this before I take a stab at it? SlipperyN 15:47, 17 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I tagged it for cleanup (once I noticed some recent POV creep) and I say go ahead and take a stab at it. The pros and cons section sounds like a great idea. Definitely make sure it's in line with WP:MOS and wikify too (it's currently lacking in those areas). You might take a look at some of the other ballot measures in :Category:Oregon Ballot Measures--perhaps some of them already have a format such as you are proposing. (I'd look it up but I'm supposed to be working.) Happy editing! Katr67 16:01, 17 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I did a clean-up.  I think more could still be added to the 'Support For' section, and there are a few unreferenced claims that need citations.  I'll try to come back to these issues soon. SlipperyN 14:20, 18 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Thanks. I messed with it a little too. I'll see if I can get to the wikification soon. Katr67 14:31, 18 October 2006 (UTC)

text: While you're at it, if you could give some attention to the citations (per Wikipedia:Citing_sources#Full_citations), I'd appreciate it.  I've been looking up and revising minimalist cites in articles in Oregon history, politics, government and locations which are rampant, and can only work at it a few hours at a time before the tedium produces a brain cramp.  -- "J-M" (Jgilhousen) 23:58, 2 January 2007 (UTC)

text: Cleaning up this article will be much easier if the info that's relevant to numerous states/initiatives can be separated into a different article. Ultimately, I'd like to see this page have just the Oregon-specific info here, and move everything else to a more general page. Not sure about a title - perhaps "regulatory takings initiative from the 1990s to present"? or "property rights ballot initiatives"? I'd love more suggestions, and am happy to work on that separation and reorganization. -Pete 08:56, 30 January 2007 (UTC)

text: On further reflection, I think I like "land use regulation" better than "regulatory taking" (too jargony, and excludes eminent domain initiatives like 39) and "property rights" (too much POV.) Yet another option might be to make a new page with an even more general scope: "Nationwide coordination of ballot initiatives since 1992", with sub-sections on land use regs, TABOR, term limits, etc. -Pete 09:03, 30 January 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Clean up

message: I am wondering why the first 3 sections of the legislative text are included. The choice seems arbitrary. There are about 13 sections, the measure is about 2 pages long. Should ANY of it be quoted word for word? If so, how should it be determined how much? -Pete 05:45, 1 February 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Legislative text 

message: Considering the major impact on Oregon from the measure and its national significance, I upped the importance level. User:calbear22 17:56, 31 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Not to get territorial, but WPOR determines the importance of an article to our project. I don't recall seeing your name on the member list, but feel free to join if you like. The importance level for our project is guided by the guidelines you can access by clicking on the link on the Project template above. This article is important and has a significant impact and news coverage to the state right now. The key being right now. If the revision gets passed by voters, well then it has less impact. Not to mention it has a limited time frame impact (any new regulations passed, new owners, and all the exceptions). So though it has a significant impact, and some of those impacts will be felt for years to come with new developments, few people are actually impacted on a personal basis. Unless you owned land and had government regulations reduce the value, then you are not affected directly. Everyone is impacted indirectly, but then again pretty much anything will effect people indirectly. A ballot measure such as Measure 5 passed in 1990 not only directly impacted every school kid in the state, it also directly impacted every property owner, every local entity that collected property taxes, and the state government, and those people/entities are still efected to this day. But even there, that is a 17 year effect that has lessended as time has gone by, which is why it is only a High level of importance. Basically when applying an importance classification (which is really a priority classification) we try not to do a knee-jerk reaction, instead look at how many people are actually effected and what is the long term impact (are people going to be talking about this in 50 years?). Based off of national news coverage Larry Craig should be a Top level for WikiProject Biography, but it is not and will likely never be that high of a priority, except maybe to WikiProject bathroom sex in MN airports.

thread_title: Upped level of importance

message: So, wrapping up…it seems we are all more or less agreed that in the long term, an umbrella article titled Land use planning in Oregon would be a good thing, and that the most comprehensive info should be there. Then, notable pieces of legislation like SB100, M37, and M49 can have their own short articles.
To get there, I think this article is the most comprehensive we've got (though it definitely leaves a lot to be desired.) I think expanding this one, as though it were Land use planning in Oregon, probably makes sense, and once it is a little more comprehensive, we can move it, and create a briefer article for M37. That approach will take the least "management," and it seems we all have other things we're focused on. 
Another option might be to copy this into a "draft" page, delete out the non-M37 stuff here, and build it up outside of main space. I don't prefer that, but I'd be OK with it. -Pete (talk) 00:33, 24 November 2007 (UTC)

message: This provides a lot of data for the opposing side of view, but hardly any for those who support it (primarily stating who, rather than why, or the main issues argued for)
