We need the citation info for the newspaper clippings used. Let us know if you need help with the formatting. Katr67 (talk) 23:48, 15 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Can we remove this warning box at the top of the page? There's really nothing controversial about this guy. I'm planning to add the references tomorrow. Thanks! —Preceding unsigned comment added by WikiGolightly (talk • contribs) 09:03, 16 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

It has nothing to do with controversy, it has to do with notability. Without citations, we have no way of knowing if he is notable by Wikipedia standards. See WP:BIO for additional criteria about the notability of people. If he's covered in multiple third-party reliable sources, and these aren't just trivial mentions, then he should pass WP:BIO with no problem. The wiki process is slow, so no, the tag needs to stay until the issues described in the tag are resolved. If you make a good-faith effort to provide the citations, the tag should be able to be removed shortly after. You can always drop a note at the WikiProject Oregon talk page if no one has taken action after a day or two, but a few of us have this on our watchlists so it should happen sooner than that. Thanks!

http://www.washingtonparkpdx.org/art.htm Trivial mention, but good for adding mention of a specific structure in Washington Park he helped save.
Here's a cached version of a page showing the contents of the March 20 issue of Street Roots, with an article on the Murnane Wharf by Michael Munk. I assume eventually the PDF will be available here: http://www.streetroots.org/past_issues/
