Talk:List of cities in Oregon

Lincoln City, Oregon

Why are some rows shaded green?

At first, it looks like it is to reinforce the indication of the county seat, but beginning at row 76 Creswell is shaded but not daggered and 77 (Tillamook) is not shaded but daggered. There are more at 99 and 100, 105-106, and 144-145. What's up with these? —EncMstr (talk) 21:27, 20 May 2013 (UTC)

I've dug through the histories: It appears that was General Banzai's and Zzyzx11's intention when the table was first created. Looks like the colors got out of sync with the county seats when a couple of anonymous users added in the 2011 population data. I've corrected the situation. Good catch. — Ipoellet (talk) 01:15, 21 May 2013 (UTC)

Thanks! It now looks great! —EncMstr (talk) 02:19, 21 May 2013 (UTC)

Former Cities?

What's with the former cities list? There's no explanation of what it means, few sources, and it contains a lot of cities that definitely still exist. I'm all for just removing it but does anyone have a good argument otherwise? Koricind (talk) 09:54, 4 December 2019 (UTC)

Agree, it should be removed, and if ever resurrected, it would be best to be an article of it's own, this is titled the list of cities in oregon, not list of cities and former cities in oregon. Mattximus (talk) 13:33, 4 December 2019 (UTC)

Ha ha, years of vandalism, that I am cleaning up now. Always check the edit history. Former cities are just that. Cities that were formerly incorporated. They originally used the loose WikiProject Oregon standard of "if not sourced in the linked article, it has to be sourced in the list". They should probably all be sourced here. In Oregon, cities require incorporation. Any other word by which you want to call a human settlement--community, town, etc.--is not incorporated. Valfontis (talk) 18:33, 6 September 2020 (UTC)
