NPOV

"Corvallis is as horrible place to live. Witness http://mp3.com/10k for proof."

This may be, but it's not exactly NPOV. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 24.15.135.xxx (talk • contribs) .

I actually don't mind living in Corvallis, even if there's nothing to do. It's a nice place. Does anyone know if those population statistics include OSU students? Quickbeam

I'm pretty sure it does. To be honest that number is larger than what I would expect. I always assumed the student population to be more near 1/2 of the population than 1/3 :) Sarge Baldy

I have quite fond memories of growing up in corvallis in the eighties. I moved to Salem for High School and my memories of Corvallis are far better. I look back on it fondly from the Bay Area in California where I live now...and would even consider moving back some time.AMB 21:13, 16 September 2005 (UTC)

Trivia

Most Churches

I wonder about the "most churches per capita" claim, since a bit of Googling around shows plenty of places that make that argument. Is there some hard data to back this up? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 63.224.205.153 (talk • contribs) .

I added that bit of trivia a while back, as I have heard that from two different sources including an OSU professor I had. I also added the unreferenced tag at the same time in in hopes of someone being able to find a source for that bit of info (as well as for the other large claims in the trivia section I added, which I have seen from other sources). Feel free to delete it as nobody has found a reliable source for that as of yet, if I come accross one I'll just re-add it. As for most education and library use per capita in the nation, I read those in an promotional packet in the Albany train station waiting for an Amtrak train to come. If someone lives near there and can pick up a copy as to properly source it, that would be helpful. VegaDark 07:02, 11 May 2006 (UTC)

Corndog Day

Since trivia sections are discouraged, how about we move the corn dog trivia to the people section? The two founders of corn dog day could be listed there.--WikiGuy3 (talk) 04:07, 29 February 2008 (UTC)

A week has gone by without further comment. I intend to make the change now. I hope everyone finds it acceptable. --WikiGuy3 (talk) 04:22, 6 March 2008 (UTC)

class project

I've reverted the chatty material about hiking that somebody allegedly put in as an OSU class project; it had some actual data in it, but needed so much work that it wasn't worth the effort of turning it into an article. It is still on the history page, if a teacher needs to see it. - DavidWBrooks 11:18, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
