I'm hear to learn how those links merit inclusion. I'm skeptical but open. I think it's probably safe to say that those items are at best peripherally related to the article, which means they should at least include some notation of their relationship, per MOS. — Bdb484 (talk) 14:28, 7 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Per MOS:SEEALSO, they are links not already linked within the article, but are related topics or peripherally relevant. —EncMstr (talk) 07:54, 8 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

EncMstr covered it from a highlevel, I'll help specifically. The Californication (word) refers to the "we want to stay small and weird" vibe in Portland. It was another bumper sticker type sentiment in Portland when a large number of high-asset Californians were moving north. Heart in Oregon is... a bumper sticker like Keep Portland Weird. Again, hometown pride. Portlandia (TV series) is a series that both lampoons the weirdness of the city and is loved by many residents. I think these are clearly related to Keep Portland Weird, though they are lacking sufficient sources to become integrated into the prose. I'll add some text to the seealso links as suggested by MOS. tedder (talk) 00:56, 9 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Looks better to me. Thanks for checking in. — Bdb484 (talk) 00:21, 10 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
