Image of Mr. Dude

[edit]

Possible to add an image of Mr. Dude via fair use? ---Another Believer (Talk) 14:31, 2 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Dunno about fair use, but a pic would improve the article. YBG (talk) 16:37, 14 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Map

[edit]
Unresolved

Anyone know how to display the pin in the infobox map correctly? ---Another Believer (Talk) 14:53, 3 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Have you tried looking at this, @Another Believer? Wikipedia:WikiProject Maps/Conventions/Pushpin maps Netherzone (talk) 23:19, 7 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Netherzone Thanks for the link. I can get the map to appear, just not the pin showing a specific location on the map based on the coordinates. I've left a request for help at WikiProject Maps, so hopefully this will be resolved. ---Another Believer (Talk) 14:57, 10 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I also tried but the pushpin only worked on the overall map, not the detailed "neighborhood" map. It might have to do with the way the script was written. Perhaps someone at the Map Project can fix that . Netherzone (talk) 15:03, 10 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Netherzone Thanks for trying! ---Another Believer (Talk) 15:04, 10 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

"This Is Portland"

[edit]

Right now the article says the following about the "This Is Portland" campaign:

In 2021, Travel Portland placed an advertisement in The New York Times and other major newspapers.[1][2][3] The "This Is Portland" campaign received a mixed reaction.[4][5][6]

Cuckoo clock

[edit]

Right now the article says the following about the cuckoo clock:

In 2014, Travel Portland launched a winter tourism campaign by installing a 7,000-pound, 24-foot (7.3 m) tall cuckoo clock carved from an Oregon maple tree at Portland International Airport after visits to Seattle and Vancouver.[1][2][3] Dubbed the nation's tallest freestanding cuckoo clock, the clock was disassembled in late 2016.[4][5]

History

[edit]

This section would be improved by starting at the beginning. When was POVA founded and by whom? And please tell us when the name was changed and why. But the subsection about locations doesn’t belong in History. YBG (talk) 16:44, 14 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@YBG Agree! I still have 200 sources to review in the Oregonian archives. I am reviewing sources in reverse chronological order so I hope to add content about the early days of POVA soon. Also, the History section currently says, "POVA became known as Travel Portland in January 2008. The rebrand included a new logo and website redesign." I plan to get this article promoted to Good status, so more to come soon! ---Another Believer (Talk) 16:47, 14 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
