Talk:Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton

message: From: http://www.cpp.usmc.mil/cpao/pages/baseinformation.asp
 Located 38 miles north of downtown San Diego, Camp Pendleton
 covers over 125,000 acres and approximately 200 square miles of
 terrain. The stretch of shoreline along the base-- 17½ miles -- 
 is the largest undeveloped portion of coastal area left in Southern
 California.
Wikipedia already has the size of 29 Palms: Marine Corps Air Ground Combat Center Twentynine Palms
  [T]he entire installation is far larger in area (approx. 932 sq mi.).
As such, its a rather rediculous claim that Pendleton is the largest Marine base.

thread_title: Size

message: Is anyone interested in creating a section where we break down the individual Camps/areas on the base and give a quick description followed by units that are based there??  WIlling to try anything to make this page look better. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Looper5920 (talk • contribs) .
:With just the large History section, this article could stand for some expansion. A discussion of the current activities and facilities on the base would be a nice improvement. A discussion of the wildlife on the base and the role the base has played in protecting a substantial amount coastal land between two large populations centers is also something that should be added. I know, for example, that the endangered Least Tern nests on the base. BlankVerse 14:45, 18 November 2005 (UTC)

thread_title: Breakdown by Camps/Areas?

message: It may be my reading of it, but I feel that there is a significant bias in the POV of the article. There are some areas (the one that caught my eye the most was the Vietnam War portion in the History section). I don't know how best to edit it to instill a NPOV without upsetting anyone.

replies: text: Good catch. The reason there was POV is that it was not written by Wikipedia editors, it was a copyvio dump from http://www.globalsecurity.org/military/facility/camp-pendleton.htm. I've removed the copied text, perhaps editors can fill in the more recent history. Cheers, -Will Beback 21:04, 22 March 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: POV issue?

message: What about the Naval Weapons Station (detachment) on the Fallbrook side of base? --Cuervo, not logged in, 76.201.16.51 15:02, 6 June 2007 (UTC)

message: Does anyone know if Camp Pendleton was affected by the Californian wildfires? Vladiator 21:44, 10 November 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes, but I don't feel comfortable elaborating at my rank. ;-) It should be relatively well-known that base was used to evacuate civilians from Fallbrook, though. --Johnny (Cuervo) 06:53, 18 December 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Damage by fires?

message: Hello,
I recently came across a site that would be nice to include in the external links section of this article. The site is a directory which lists all sorts of businesses and services around the Camp Pendleton area. Since people looking at this page are most likely living there or moving there, it would be a nice resource for viewers to have access to. Is there a way that the link could be added in that link section?
Thanks!

replies: text: "Since people looking at this page are most likely living there or moving there": This is not the purpose of Wikipedia. In my experience, the U.S. Department of Defense is pretty good about putting up Web sites for its important installations that include local information for personnel transferring to the base. Let them fill that need. --Yaush (talk) 20:47, 5 February 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: WP:SPAM should not be placed (and will be rm) from Wikipedia articles. Please use .com sites for promoting businesses. Or maybe WikiTravel or WikiVoyage. Student7 (talk) 20:37, 9 February 2014 (UTC)
