  • Just tagged it now. Though I don't suspect it of copyright infringement (via copy-and-paste), it does feel like something found in a brochure from Walker. It needs to become an encyclopedia article Hayfordoleary 09:38, 27 November 2005 (UTC)

Yes, it is was a very marketing driven write up. As well, there was a long negative bit someone added (perhaps to offset the positive?). Hardly NPOV. As such I took to the task of rewriting most of it to NPOV. Among the changes:

  • Took out negative POV on the expansion.
  • Took out brocure-like write up on the programming. Instead, included all of the Walker's programming, instead of the small subset listed. Stripped most of the content since it was fairly uniformative.
  • Added more info on the campus, and the history of the Walker.
  • Removed the tag questioning the POV of the page.

These changes should make it NPOV. Vitaflo 17:45, 16 February 2006 (UTC)

Hello Kimberly Dawn! I love you!!

You'd think they would mention how pretentious this place is being the major art museum in town who charges to say the least. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 134.84.21.37 (talk) 17:02, 13 March 2008 (UTC)
