Glad to see a Washington WikiProject, if I see anything that overlaps with WikiProject Oregon I'll be sure to add your project tag to it. Cheers! Katr67 04:09, 16 January 2007 (UTC)
Hi; just checkin' what's up with the Eastern Washington WikiProject; is it still a "go" or is it absorbed into this one? Skookum1 20:18, 17 January 2007 (UTC)
Hi, I've been playing with the Kenmore, Washington page a lot, and also a bit with the Lake Forest Park, Washington page (expanding it out so it hasn't been so empty), so I thought I'd drop a note here and say hi. I just gave the Kenmore page a CityBox, which kind of amuses me. ^_^ I have a question tho'; I'm in school full-time, so if I join this project, does that mean I have to take on other pages? Or does it just show that I'm supportive and have a couple of pages I work on? Solarbird 03:48, 3 March 2007 (UTC)
Howdy! I just created this new article on Woodinville wine country and was wondering if there is anyone with some nice free photos to add to the article? Agne Cheese/ Wine 21:21, 2 April 2007 (UTC)
Dear Wikipedians, a list of possible Washington-related articles found by bot is available at User:AlexNewArtBot/WashingtonSearchResult. Colchicum 15:15, 6 April 2007 (UTC)
My city has a Neighborhoods section that didn't list myself and my 140 neighbors, so I added my neighborhood to the list with an external link to my community's homepage. Two hours later it was deleted as an "advertisement". We're not selling anything, and are part of the community, so what gives? I even went and read "what Wikipedia is Not" and other new user guides. My motivation was purely "trying to make the list accurate" as best I understood how. (End whining).
Was my post inappropriate, or was the deletion rash?
What is the most appropriate way to include more specific neighborhood information WikiProject Washington? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 24.16.12.79 ( talk) 06:51, 17 April 2007 (UTC).
Howdy from north of the line. Around Wikipedia:WikiProject British Columbia We've had a flurry of ship articles crated lately, ie historic steamboats and other vessels of note and also e.g. List of ships in British Columbia (should be List of historic ships in British Columbia maybe), Steamboats of the Upper Fraser River in British Columbia, Steamboats of the Skeena River so far, others are planned though there are some issues as vessels moved from river to river - tose on the Skeena might also have been on the Fraser, the Stikine, Puget Sound, or more pointedly the Columbia, which brings me to the suggestion for List of vessels on the Columbia River, maybe with "historic" or some other cqualifier in there; I know for sure there's going to be an SS Umatilla article and a score of others that worked the Fraser and elsewhere which had been on the Columbia or, in some cases, the Sacramento; not that anybody at your project is writing historical-ship aritcles yet, just kinda pointing in that eneral directino; see also List of Royal Navy ships in the Pacific Northwest which I deliberatley titled so as to not be BC-specific for various historical reasons. Skookum1 08:59, 22 April 2007 (UTC)
I used "vessels" in the proposed titles because there may be notable barges, e.g. as there are in BC's case, i.e. non-ships that were still on the water; not sure waht might be down that way but in vancouver harbour in the old days used to be Spratt's Ark, a sardine-oil processing operation that was an important landmark (and also which took in refugees from our Great Fire). So the title could be "ships" and I think the BC "steamboat" titles could be ajudsted (there were more than steamboats on both routes, for example). Whatever; it's all only just a suggestion.

PS WPWA members might want to have a look around WPBC and WPVan to give you an idea where your whole shebang can go...(and we're rookies still....). Skookum1 09:07, 22 April 2007 (UTC)
Most of the vessels on Okanagan, Kootenay and Arrow Lakes were broght up htat way; plus a bit of portaging here and htere, i.e. pieces being hauled up past rapids. I imagine it was the same on the "Middle Columbia" (on the fraser there were three navigable sections - Boston Bar to Lillooet (almost, more like Lytton), Alexandria to Prince George (then Fort George but this route also connects to the Stuart river route to the Omineca region) and of course the Lower Fraser. And like I said, some of those on the Lower Fraser - and possibly some of those on our Interior lakes - came from/via the States originally (well, as did nearly everything until the CPR got punched through, ecept what came around the Horn or via the Orient...

I notice a lot of projects do pages of needed articles and photos, but I can't find one here. Can we start one? Murderbike 21:54, 24 May 2007 (UTC)
I'm starting a "List of native species of Washington" article, hopefully to lead to an article on "Native species of Washington". It's in my sandbox right now, if anyone wants to help out, or lend some advice. Murderbike 08:23, 25 May 2007 (UTC)
Surprisingly it is a red link despite nearly every other US city in existence having a Wikipedia article. The city is undoubtedly notable for being home to the largest wine making facility in the state-Columbia Crest. I'll be happy to contribute the wine related info to article if someone who is more familiar with the construction of Washington city articles lays the foundation.

Hi. Someone just left a query about this merge, as I'd put a merge tag on Salish Sea quite a while ago and haven't followed up on it; please see my notes at Merge Salish Sea and Strait of Georgia on my talk page. I'm on the road and will be off the net again by the end of the weekend but input from WPWashington and WPBC members would be appreciated to resolve this. This notice has also been posted on Wikipedia:WikiProject British Columbia. Skookum1 02:59, 17 August 2007 (UTC)
There was a line about the pillar on the "Welcome to Naches" building that has been changed so that the page can be viewed on school computers with filtering systems. Lefebvres 11:17, 25 August 2007 (UTC)

Just FYI, Ballard Carnegie Library is up for GA review, if anyone wants to take a pass at it. It's a old library building in Seattle. • Lawrence Cohen 15:04, 11 October 2007 (UTC)
Joe Szwaja is also up for GA review, if you can lend a hand. He is a Green party politician in Seattle. • Lawrence Cohen 15:06, 11 October 2007 (UTC)
Howdy neighbors--I'm working on this article created by someone apparently involved with the port authority. My question is, do y'all refer to yourself in articles as "Washington" or "Washington State"? I'm inclined to leave out "State" as redundant (one can click on "Washington" to see what is meant), but perhaps for international readership the clarification is necessary? Katr67 18:00, 17 October 2007 (UTC)
It should be one of the primary goals to cover all communities in Washington. So I'm wondering if someone knows an official list of all incorporated communities in the state so that we can check if some community is missing... -- 77.179.37.144 23:47, 28 October 2007 (UTC)
This article could use some help; either improvement or a merge perhaps. Thanks! -- Stormbay 23:03, 12 November 2007 (UTC)
Hey. My name is Johnny Russell. My email address is <removed per policy>. I am a Washington resident and I am learning Spanish with the goal of fluency. I am just offering to translate any article in this WikiProject into Spanish. My goals in offering to do translations are to improve my Spanish writing abilities and also to help out Wikipedia, which has been an extremely helpful resource for me in the past. -johnnyrussell (~~~~) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Johnnyrussell ( talk • contribs) 06:42, 12 December 2007 (UTC)
