Shouldn't OMSI redirect to Oregon Museum of Science and Industry, rather than vice-versa? I'm somewhat new to wikipedia and don't know the exact procedure on this. Sunilonln 02:44, 3 Jun 2004 (UTC)

per Wikipedia:Naming_conventions#Prefer_spelled-out_phrases_to_acronyms, I am moving the article. Sunilonln 03:16, 3 Jun 2004 (UTC)

I would disagree. OMSI is the colloquial name, although the Oregon Museum of Science and Industry is the official name. No one around here refers to it using the full name.

While you are both correct, I believe it should stay as "Oregon Museum of Science and Industry". Nearly all Oregonians refer to it as "OMSI", however most visitors to the museum (who are unfamiliar with this region) refer to it as the "Oregon Museum of Science and Industry" -- Tygar 1/29/2005

[edit] USS Blueback

Perhaps I'm wrong, but the date of OMSI's purchase of the submarine seems wrong. I know for a fact that it's been docked in the Willamette River since at least 1994. --Micahbrwn 02:00, 9 Jun 2005 (UTC)

I found the correct dates ([1]) and fixed the article. It was 1994, so I suspect it was a typo (of sorts). -- ericl234 ^{talk contribs} 09:54, Jun 9, 2005 (UTC)
