Talk:List of incorporated cities in Oregon

Whoa, whoa, whoa

There was absolutely no reason to split this list from the other other one. Now, the other list ONLY has unincorporated communities and no cities, while this list has only incorporated cities and no unincorporated ones. However, most of the images in the unincorporated communities list correspond to incorporated communities. Splitting the list has no practical purpose and has only made things more confusing, as the list that is titled "List of cities and unincorporated communities in Oregon" now has no cities at all, except for the images of cities which now no longer correspond to anything in the actual article.

Calm down. Before you have too much of a cow over this, please see my fuller comments at Talk:List of cities and unincorporated communities in Oregon#Changing the list. The pair of articles are, of course, a work in progress. But once we start adding data columns to the incorporated cities beyond just a bare listing of names, that table becomes something in between cumbersome and incompatible to include in the same article as the unincorporated communities. (BTW, I would like to see year of incorporation added to this table at some point down the road.) Yes, further work is needed, like segregation of the images between the two articles, but it seems to economize on effort if we first get some consensus to emerge regarding the future of the article that includes the unincorporated communities. — Ipoellet (talk) 18:19, 5 October 2010 (UTC)

Okay, but I just think it would have made more sense to separate the unincorporated communities from the main list, instead of the other way around. Unless you've changed something, I think that most articles that link to a "List of cities in Oregon" will actually link to the list of unincorporated communities, while almost no articles link to this list, which is usually more relevant and definitely better organized.

I've already fixed up/reset all of the relevant redirects, if that's what you mean. — Ipoellet (talk) 22:07, 5 October 2010 (UTC)

What to add to the list

There's been the suggestion to add incorporation dates to the list. Anything else that should be added? General Banzai (talk) 01:56, 6 October 2010 (UTC)
