Dead Kennedys edit

Hey, I was at that show, so I know the part about the jello is true (don't know about the punk bands being banned though--I think it depends on your definition of "punk"), but unless we have a reliable source, it's only original research. Katr67 08:32, 3 December 2006 (UTC)Reply

More history needed edit

The Dead Kennedys are all well and good, but what this article really needs is how the Community Center for the Performing Arts saved the W.O.W. hall... Katr67 08:38, 3 December 2006 (UTC)Reply

Coordinate error edit

{{geodata-check}} The following coordinate fixes are needed for W.O.W. Hall. The marker should be at 44° 3'4.24"N 123° 5'49.59"W but instead it is currently one block east of there. Thanks —RThompson82 (talk) 00:27, 18 May 2016 (UTC)Reply

 
how many meters points moved by in datum change
@RThompson82:, thank you! Unfortunately a) lots of NRHP sites have somewhat inaccurate coordinates for various reasons (including that maps moved / coordinates of all places changed at least once, by about 90 meters in Oregon so about 1 block?) and b) there isn't a good system in Wikipedia documenting where coordinate corrections come from, as far as I know. So in practice editors have just been making fixes directly. I will make that change here, and also at National Register of Historic Places listings in Lane County, Oregon and at List of Woodmen of the World buildings where the coordinates are also used. --doncram 01:24, 18 May 2016 (UTC)Reply
