message: Please note that the coordinates in this article need fixing as:Decimal 29.341668,-98.435183 (The negative was missing) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.201.44.122 (talk • contribs) 17:31, November 5, 2008
*I'm not sure why you say "the negative was missing", since the problem is really that it had a negative where it shouldn't (placing the air force base somewhere in the middle of a Chinese mountain range).  I've corrected the coordinates. Tim Pierce (talk) 12:09, 18 April 2009 (UTC)

message: U.S. Air Force School of Aerospace Medicine (USAFSAM) at Brooks is no longer known internationally for anything, the school has migrated mostly from the base, leaving, as off the time of this writing, very few military personnel behind. This could be deleted, or rewritten to reflect that it's notability is past, and that the bulk of the school has since moved. This is this user's personal empirical observation.

message: When was Brooks AFB closed to flying? It would improve the article to include that information. I did a quick search on Wiki but didn't find anything. Possibly a review of flying units in "What links here" might give an indication. --TGC55 (talk) 19:14, 20 January 2010 (UTC)

replies: text: I have removed the tag. The article is about the U.S.A.F. base, which closed ten years ago. The article does not need "updating". User 74.60.29.141 has admitted that he is acting on behalf of the property developer which now owns the site. Maproom (talk) 15:00, 8 January 2013 (UTC)

thread_title:  Outdated information 

message: With the recent move of this article from Brooks City-Base to Brooks Air Force Base (without a redirect), there are many links to (the currently redlink) Brooks City-Base which look as if they ought to point to Brooks Air Force Base.  Can someone involved in the move please address this?  At the very least, if the new page is created it ought to have a hatlink to this existing article. - David Biddulph (talk) 17:49, 9 January 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: Created an interim re-direct, for the guidance of bots, etc. Not sure the development is notable; and the COI is pretty darned problematic. --Orange Mike | Talk 18:03, 9 January 2013 (UTC)
