WikiProject Ohio Newsletter



Issue II - May 2008
From the editor:

Here's Issue II of the project newsletter. We're trying to decide if this is sinking or floating. If you would like to contribute to next month's newsletter please jump right in at the News Desk! Have a great May.

The Ohio Portal

The maintainers of the Ohio Portal are looking to get it to featured status. They would like to ask all project members to help improve it any way they can. What needs to be done most is the supplying of selected articles and images.

Selected Article: Indian Head Rock

There is a eight ton rock in Ohio that was removed from the Ohio River. This rock is known as the Indian Head Rock Dating back to the early 1800’s, this rock was seen sticking out of the Ohio River and used as a navigational mark for barges along the river. The names of citizens from the town of Portsmouth, Ohio are carved into the rock from the late nineteenth a early twentieth centuries. Some of the names were of well known families from Ohio. They would swim out to the rock, have their picture taken with it or simply carve their names into it.
With the advent of the Locks and Dams along the Ohio River, the rock eventually was submerged, but the legend lived on. A gentleman from Ironton, Ohio located the rock after searching a very long time for it, and he and a crew of scuba divers recovered the rock and took it to the shore to be donated to Ohio for historical value.
After hearing the news about the rock being removed, Kentucky introduced legislation against the removal of the rock. They also want the diver who found it to be prosecuted for removing the rock. Kentucky owns the greatest part of the land the river runs on. Even the Army Corp. of Engineers got involved as to how to move the rock without damaging it. Kentucky wants to have it returned to the river.

The WikiProject Ohio Newsletter


Issue III - June 2008
From the editor:

This is the third edition of the WikiProject Ohio newsletter. If you have any project announcements feel free to drop them by the NewsDesk. It's request that you watchlist our talk page; so you can chime in on current discussions. Have a great June!

The Ohio Portal

The maintainers of the Ohio Portal are looking to get it to featured status. They would like to ask all project members to help improve it any way they can. What needs to be done most is the supplying of selected articles and images.

Getting the Project Moving
  • WikiProject Ohio as an entity doesn't have as much action as other state projects. For this reason it has been proposed that the inactive WikiProject Ohio Townships be added as our taskforce. There is a !poll going on at WT:OH and your opinion is essential in the matter!
  • Stepshep has also proposed sending an invite to everyone in Category:Wikipedians in Ohio with an invite to join the project. If you are already a member you would not receive the notice of course. Once again, please note your opinion on the project talkpage.

The Central Avenue Historic District is a nationally recognized historic district located at 201 to 338 Central Avenue in Dayton, Ohio. It consists of late 19th and 20th Century Revival-style houses as well as late Victorian-style houses, which were all originally single-family residences.

On December 16, 1982, it was added to the National Register of Historic Places.

Each month a new Ohio related stub is the selected article. If you have a new stub created feel free to nominate it at the NewsDesk.

Jump-Starting the Ohio Highways WikiProject

Hi! I noticed you've started up some new Ohio State Route pages in the last few days, and after having been doing some minor additions here and there, I'd like to start working toward ramping up the Ohio Highways WikiProject on a much larger scale. There is a lot of work to do on the project, but we definitely have the people out there to make it happen. I wanted to talk to you about some of the possibilities for this; please let me know your thoughts when you get an opportunity. Thanks! DanTheMan474 (talk) 15:48, 27 June 2008 (UTC)

We wanted to begin looking at upgrading how many of the Ohio State Route pages are done, most likely even from the point of start-up. I think Ohio State Route 716 may best serve as a guide for how we want to start building the Ohio pages. As I mentioned, though, with so many routes represented by stubs, if not nothing at all, this might be a good time to evaluate how to proceed, and start building up the project. I'm going to talk with some of the others who have built up Ohio State Route pages in recent months, and ultimately I'd like to do a live chat (via AIM or MSN or something like that) with some of you, to that point. Let me know your thoughts or suggestions, and when I am back from my vacation next week I can do more follow-up then. Thanks! DanTheMan474 (talk) 13:18, 15 July 2008 (UTC)

Oregon communities stubs

Nice work starting all those stubs. One of these days I'll help flesh them out a bit! Katr67 (talk) 23:54, 22 July 2008 (UTC)
