Talk:Dover Air Force Base

Dover AFB, DE
I am stationed at Dover and while reading this article I noticed that it states:

It is the only base to solely operate the massive C-5 Galaxy, with two active squadrons (the 3rd Airlift and 9th Airlift) and one Reserve (the 512th).

This is not technically correct. It actually has 4 Squadrons assigned to 2 Wings. The Active duty has the 436th Airlift Wing containing the 3rd and 9th Squadrons and the Reserve has the 512th Airlift Wing containing the 326th and 709th Squadrons. I tried to edit but was unsuccessful. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 12.150.19.66 (talk) 04:07, 13 January 2007 (UTC).


 * Well its untrue any way now that they have C-17's. I was part of the 3rd ALS back in 02-03 and wrote the inital artical, I'll get around to updateing it at some point.  FLJuJitsu 23:55, 30 Aug 2007

Huh?
This article states: "It was the only base to solely operate the massive C-5 Galaxy, with two active flying squadrons (the 3rd Airlift Squadron, which now operates the C-17 Globemaster III, and 9th Airlift Squadron)..." This obviously doesn't make sense - how can it be the "only base to solely operate the massive C-5" if it has a C-17 squadron assigned. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 192.158.48.17 (talk) 18:54, 8 November 2013 (UTC)

Space Shuttle Emergency landing site
I've heard it said many times that in an emergency after takeoff, DAFB is one of the landing site they can go to. I think this info should be put in the article.

Blacklisted Links Found on the Main Page
Cyberbot II has detected that page contains external links that have either been globally or locally blacklisted. Links tend to be blacklisted because they have a history of being spammed, or are highly innappropriate for Wikipedia. This, however, doesn't necessarily mean it's spam, or not a good link. If the link is a good link, you may wish to request whitelisting by going to the request page for whitelisting. If you feel the link being caught by the blacklist is a false positive, or no longer needed on the blacklist, you may request the regex be removed or altered at the blacklist request page. If the link is blacklisted globally and you feel the above applies you may request to whitelist it using the before mentioned request page, or request its removal, or alteration, at the request page on meta. When requesting whitelisting, be sure to supply the link to be whitelisted and wrap the link in nowiki tags. The whitelisting process can take its time so once a request has been filled out, you may set the invisible parameter on the tag to true. Please be aware that the bot will replace removed tags, and will remove misplaced tags regularly.

Below is a list of links that were found on the main page:

✅ This issue has been resolved, and I have therefore removed the tag, if not already done. No further action is necessary.— cyberbot II NotifyOnline 19:54, 9 April 2014 (UTC)

Contamination
Why is there nothing in the article about the groundwater contamination at the site? Anyone willing to add? I may get around to it eventually. Thanks, Vaselineeeeeeee★★★ 17:49, 8 September 2017 (UTC)


 * Not that I'm much interested in the subject, but as usual in such cases, if you were to provide information and sources, the process of updating the article would be that much closer to happening...
