Roba Ranch

(

• Back to T:TDYK
• Article history

)

• ... that in 1899, the Roba Ranch in Central Oregon had one of its sheep camps burned, the result of a range war between cattlemen and sheepherders?

• Reviewed: Crack climbing
• Comment: Hook source is in Reference 2 (see National Register of Historic Places Registration Form, Section 8, middle of p. 5)

• Article is new, long enough, and well-composed. No copyvio detected. Hook is under 200 characters and interesting enough. Hook fact is verified from online sources. However, the final section ("Location") reads like instructions on how to drive there. This should be written in more encyclopedic tone before appearing on the main page.

• Have deleted last 5 sentences from "Location" section. This was text that provided detailed info on how to get to the ranch. Believe this should resolve concerns.--Orygun (talk) 23:03, 29 August 2013 (UTC)

• Article now meets DYK criteria. Sasata (talk) 21:06, 1 September 2013 (UTC)
