• Another Believer, You can add another source for products. I think this news story should be covered in the article. Damian Lillard Drops Details on New PDX Carpet Colorway for D Lillard 1 Shoes - Here you can read the news story. Cheers. CookieMonster755 (talk) 00:29, 21 May 2015 (UTC)

Lead

Does the first sentence follow Wikipedia's manual of style? Not sure how to best bold text while also linking to Portland International Airport and PDX, which is sometimes how the carpet is known and also serves as an abbreviation throughout the Wikipedia article. ---Another Believer _(Talk) 02:34, 27 January 2015 (UTC)

@Another Believer: -- Here is a new story about the PDX carpet, published today. Maybe its worth a mention in the article. PDX Carpet to lead the annual Starlight Parade, ABC-KATU. --CookieMonster755 (talk) 00:11, 21 March 2015 (UTC)

1970's carpet

I know the Portland Monthly article says there were hard floors before the current carpet was put in, but evidently there was carpet with a different design imitating the Port's logo: https://twitter.com/pdxcarpet1970s Jason McHuff (talk) 08:54, 2 August 2015 (UTC)

Current status

@Plantdrew: Can you explain this edit? Currently the article is saying that the carpet has been restored. If it was removed it again, can this be added with a source to the prose as well? SnowFire (talk) 03:40, 20 February 2026 (UTC)

@SnowFire: The second sentence had "featured" as well. I was just making the tense in the first sentence agree with the second, and I wasn't aware any of the carpet had been restored. However, the Oregonian source about the restoration says that it is 6000 sq ft of the old carpet design, which is a pretty small part of the airport. If present tense is used, I think the lede should make it clear that it is no longer the predominant carpet design. Plantdrew (talk) 03:55, 20 February 2026 (UTC)

There may be other helpful recent sources, but here's a video from August 2024:
