Talk:Marine Corps Air Station El Toro

message: The two references added to the article are appropriate, and it is a fact that Col. Sabow died on the morning of Jan. 22. JPatrickBedell 18:46, 5 February 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Untitled

message: The last paragraph of the lead section notes that MCAS El Toro was twice the "final" stop for Richard Nixon.  If this is not a defining characteristic of the base, perhaps it should go into a section on "Interesting facts".  Certainly, Nixon is not the only President to visit the base. (See  e.g. LBJ visited in 1968.) — ERcheck (talk) 01:49, 6 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I had pictures of AF1 from a GHW Bush visit when I was stationed there.  I think Presidents felt very safe landing there, knowing they were well protected on a USMC base and yet they were still close all LA regional locations, plus they didn't have to interfere with the air traffic as much at LAX (except for Clinton's infamous hair cut).  --JJLatWiki 05:29, 6 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text:  I'm going to take the liberty of moving the information to the other facts section, as it is not defining for MCAS El Toro. — ERcheck (talk) 00:34, 7 February 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Introductory section

message: User:Meltmycone is apparently expressing a desire that I share - that the death of Col. Sabow be included in the article.  I have written a referenced and factual paragraph that I believe is appropriate for inclusion.  Thank you for your consideration. JPatrickBedell 22:26, 10 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Nothing has changed from the discussion above that show that this merits inclusion.  Please do not add back, as is is counter to consensus.  — ERcheck (talk) 03:01, 11 February 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: inclusion of new Col. Sabow text

message: A recent addition is an "assertion" by an alternative weekly reporter concerning drug trafficking.  This is an unsubstantiated allegation.  Not every allegation by a reporter should be included.  There are many conspiracy theorists and many allegation, but they don't merit addition.  The reporter making this allegation is the same one reporting on the Sabow case for the alternative weekly.  
Wikipedia is not a repository allegations.  I'm reverting the addition.  If community consensus finds it otherwise notable, then it could be returned (with a NPOV consideration). — ERcheck (talk) 02:40, 11 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: On another note...the author makes assertions but it clearly states in the article that the pilot Never saw drugs being unloaded.  The author just assumes they were to back up his thesis.--Looper5920 02:48, 11 February 2007 (UTC)

But isn't the hanger that is the Knight Industries base the derrigible hanger at Tustin Marine Corps Airfield, and not El Toro?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Bphendri (talk • contribs) 03:13, 21 January 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: Knight Rider Reference

message: 1) The opening paragraph says "All U.S. Presidents in the post-WWII era have landed in Air Force One at this airfield."  Is this out of date, or what? If it closed in 1999, neither G. W. Bush nor Obama would have been able to land there while president.  If either landed there at a time when he was not president, this should be clarified. 
2) The "other facts" section has this: "The "Los Angeles" Registration and Polling Centre Location for the January 28-30, 2005 Iraq Out-of-Country Voting Program [16]"  That isn't a sentence.  What did the editor intend to say?

thread_title: Small points in need of editing

message: The following two comments were added to the main body of the article. I've moved them here since they aren't quite encyclopedia-style and I don't know enough to fix them, but they may be helpful for adding more information to the article. Dreamyshade (talk) 21:44, 2 October 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: Signed comments from article body about contaminants

message: EPA has identified the Contaminants of Concern at each Superfund site. According to EPA, “The chemical substances (i.e., hazardous substances, pollutants, or contaminants) listed below were identified as contaminants of concern (COC) for the site. COCs are the chemical substances found at the site that the EPA has determined pose an unacceptable risk to human health or the environment. These are the substances that are addressed by cleanup actions at the site.”
“Identifying COCs is a process where the EPA identifies people and ecological resources that could be exposed to contamination found at the site, determines the amount and type of contaminants present, and identifies the possible negative human health or ecological effects that could result from contact with the contaminants” according to the EPA website.
Military sites on the EPA Superfund list are shown below. See  Scroll down the page and click on the base name to follow the link to the EPA website. Once on the EPA site, the Contaminants of Concern (COCs) and their health effects can be found by clicking on “View Contaminants of Concern” at the bottom of the first page. The next screen will show each COC and a link to the Agency of Toxic Substance Disease Registry (ATSDR) where the health effects can be viewed.

message: Can we start up a section in relation to El Toro's Hollywood connection? I'm referencing movies such as Top Gun etc. that have been filmed here. I think it would be a great addition to the page. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
