[edit] (History of the) History of Oregon
Besides general articles on Oregon history (see priority list below), one of the main priorites of the WPOR History Subproject is to create an article on the History of Oregon. This article currently redirects to the History section in the main Oregon article. Back in August of 2006 User:EngineerScotty created a subpage of WPOR for a rough draft of the History of Oregon article, here: Wikipedia:WikiProject Oregon/History of Oregon. Right now it is mostly just an outline, but as more individual history articles are created, they can be used to flesh out the main article.
For the Oregon article to reach Good article or Featured article status, it will need to have a History section that uses the {{main}} template to link to a well-written History of Oregon article.
Discussion about suggestions for content and subsections of the History of Oregon page, including a collection of history templates, are on the talkpage.
Feel free to add any article suggestions below.
[edit] Other priorities
[edit] Articles to start
- Lausanne (ship), brough Methodist reenforcements in 1840.[1]
- Anything from 1900 forward
- Tualatin Academy, precursor to Pacific University but also was a prep school that ran concurrent to PU.
- Provisional Government of Oregon
- Oregon Territorial Legislature
- Morning Star (ship), built by Tillamook dairy farmers in 1854
[edit] Articles to expand
- Oregon Lyceum
- Oregon Institute
- Willamette Cattle Company

- Methodist Mission, article just on the mission in Salem not the Oregon Mission in general. Touch on branches in Oregon City and Clatsop.
[edit] Projects
- Go through Category:History of Oregon and make sure the articles within have as many inter-connecting links as possible as new articles may have been created that may have not been linked where appropriate.
- Make Oregon Forts navigation template. List by type, military, HBC, other.
