[edit] Oregon Biennial

I merged the list of artists from the Oregon Biennial article, but if none of these artists are notable enough to have a Wikipedia article, then they should probably be removed. Since the Biennial has been held since 1949, there are probably some notable artists who have participated over the years that should be added to the list. Katr67 16:56, 14 June 2007 (UTC)

Oh many of those artists are notable and could easilly have articles penned about them, the fact is nobody has taken it on yet. Ive added many of them lately but it's a lot of work. --Gungnir PDX (talk) 22:06, 11 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] PAM?

Is there a reason why the abbreviation PAM was removed from most places in the article? Most style guidelines that I have used in my professional life recommend that if an abbreviation is used anywhere in an article, it needs to added in parentheses after the first instance of the name spelled out in full. If the abbreviation isn't to be allowed in the article at all, then it should be spelled out in full in every instance (there are still a few sections that don't spell it out). Let me know if you want me to provide a link the relevant style guideline. Katr67 22:09, 3 July 2007 (UTC)
