Discussion

(Permalearning, if this was your addition, just a reminder to please log in.) First please read up on how to cite sources at WP:CITE. If you can't get the hang of the <ref></ref> tags, at least cite where each fact came from using an inline cite like this: [http://www.example.org], which will look like this: [1] at the end of the line. I take it the above list of links is either the sources you used in the article, or perhaps some "notes to self" for follow up. Usually we don't want to have such a long list of external links, per WP:EL, since that constitutes a "linkfarm"--something we don't want on Wikipedia. See WP:NOT#LINKFARM for more information. For this article, we'd probably want a link to the hotel's official website and not much else. A popular tourist destination like this will attract lots of linkspam so keeping the external links to a minimum is a good way to discourage this. I really do urge you to try to cite all the information in the article. Such a long article as this one is very very hard for other editors to add to when they can't check verifibility so it's best to cite all your sources from the get go. Though you've requested help bringing this up to standard, it would be very tedious for someone like me to go through all those links and cite the sources, since hopefully you remember which article you got which facts from. So if you could do that, that would be great, and then I can help with the form and style and wikification. I applaud your efforts at documenting this important Portland landmark. If we can get the citations up to standard, we have the basis for a good article candidate in the future! Let me know if you have questions. Katr67 07:15, 15 November 2007 (UTC)

This was my addition, forgot to log in, its evidently too late to be typing anymore. Sorry, I've got books and articles to cite. However, the day that I read the wikipage about citing I must have been half brain dead after work so I'm going to read it again and get to work on citations before adding any more to the article. Thanks for your help and for moving the links to the talk page instead of deleting them completely. It took me forever to get those together so I could use them to verify some of my work.

Just a reminder that hardly anything on Wikipedia is ever "lost". You can always retrieve info from previous versions of the article by clicking on the "diffs" in the page history. (There you can also see which editors made which edits and can read the edit summaries to find out why those edits were made. Thanks for being patient. We do have a lot of rules, but I think it makes for a great encyclopedia. Katr67 07:34, 15 November 2007 (UTC)

Assessment

I assessed this as a stub, mostly b/c it's got no references in the article. But it looks close to being a start-class, just needs a bit more work, that's all. Keep plugging away, you'll get the hang of it. :) -Ebyabe 03:36, 16 November 2007 (UTC)

Hauntings.

Ought there not be a section on the alleged hauntings which have occurred in rooms ending in '03'? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.92.47.169 (talk) 03:55, 4 June 2010 (UTC)
