I use it every day, I love it, and the only problem I have is with the weeks Alex was on vacation. Katr67 20:24, 22 September 2007 (UTC)

I check it every week or so, sometimes more often. Since I think only WP:ORE folks use it, is there a way to knockout articles that already have the WPOR project banner at the time the bot is run? Not a big issue, just convienance. Aboutmovies 21:44, 22 September 2007 (UTC)

I look at it every day too. It's a great tool. --Esprqii 22:53, 22 September 2007 (UTC)

Actually, I'd prefer it still list WPOR articles even if tagged. That way I have an idea how many new articles join the project just by having another watchlist item. Instead, perhaps it could add some indication to the entry that it was already tagged? —EncMstr 07:03, 23 September 2007 (UTC)

Missing article

• Peggy Y. Fowler did not make this list, but it also appears it was missed entirely by your new article bot. Aboutmovies (talk) 01:53, 8 December 2007 (UTC)

• Steens Mountain Wilderness
• Wild Rogue Wilderness
• Waldo Lake Wilderness

These three were all created November 302007. Maybe the bot was taking a holiday? I see it didn't make an entry that day. It found three articles the next day okay: Black Canyon Wilderness (Oregon), Waldo Lake Wilderness, and Wild Rogue Wilderness. Perhaps it doesn't look in time before its normal interval? —EncMstr 02:40, 8 December 2007 (UTC)

FYI, new article fans, this won't help with the above problem, but you might want to watchlist Wikipedia:Version 1.0 Editorial Team/Oregon articles by quality/1 - 12. I catch newly tagged articles and ratings changes to articles that are already tagged that way. Sometimes I find someone has removed the WPORE tag for some unknown reason and that is the only way I know to do it unless it's already on your personal watchlist. I also skim through User:AlexNewArtBot/OregonLog. Once in a while a result there doesn't make it to this page. As for the bot skipping a day, I remember that when I asked about having the bot go back and find articles that were created when Alex was on vacation, apparently it would have been nearly impossible, unfortunately...

Missing articles

The bot seems to be misfiring lately...in the past couple of weeks, it has missed:

• Jay Locey
• Manning, Oregon
• West Coast Bancorp

All had pretty solid Oregon creds, so I'm not sure what's going on. Of course these are only articles I am aware of; no idea how many others escaped scrutiny. They seem to have been completely missed by the bot rather than just found to not qualify. --Esprqii (talk) 18:33, 10 January 2008 (UTC)

I just left a note on Alex's page, I'm not sure he watches this one. Katr67 (talk) 19:23, 10 January 2008 (UTC)

• Howell Prairie Katr67 (talk) 18:25, 15 February 2008 (UTC)

Two more:

• Carolyn Wood (swimmer)
• Rex T. Barber Veterans Memorial Bridge

FYI. Not sure why, but your program picked up Summer Lake, Oregon -- the town, but not Summer Lake (Oregon) -- the lake.--Orygun (talk) 04:34, 29 January 2008 (UTC)

Dee Wright Observatory didn't get picked up either. Article doesn't have "Oregon" in title, but category links are all Oregon related--e.g. Cascade Range/Lane County, Oregon/etc.--Orygun (talk) 03:24, 31 January 2008 (UTC)

Eugene "Debbs" Potts is another Oregon article that didn't get picked up. Had "Oregon" hot-button in first line and several Oregon catagory links at the bottom.--Orygun (talk) 04:04, 5 February 2008 (UTC)

The observatory did make it, sometimes it takes a day or two before the bot runs. Aboutmovies (talk) 04:08, 5 February 2008 (UTC)

Rim Village, Oregon was overlooked. Seems like that would be easy article to be picked up as Oregon topic.--Orygun (talk) 04:13, 6 April 2008 (UTC)

First Presbyterian Church of Redmond wasn't picked up by New Oregon Article Bot--don't know why. Fisrt time in quite awhile that Wiki-Oregon tag was overlooked.--Orygun (talk) 02:50, 22 September 2009 (UTC)

As noted above some time ago, I don't think anyone in charge of the bot looks at this page, better to contact them directly. Probably not necessary to add missed articles to the list. It is merely an alert for those of us watching the page, not a comprehensive listing. It misses articles of mine all the time. If I were concerned about folks noticing a new article of mine, I'd leave a note on the WikiProject Oregon page. Cheers. Katr67 (talk) 01:49, 24 September 2009 (UTC)

Redirects

Just for the good of the order, I will note here that I asked the user running the new article bot to make it not show redirs from now on. Sorry my 5000 2nd Oregon redirs clogged up the works. Valfontis (talk) 20:46, 30 October 2015 (UTC)
