Talk:Elmendorf Air Force Base

message: I found a reference that had a short blurb documenting the name of the base: "The base was named after Hugh Elmendorf, a captain who passed away in a plane crash during some tests."

message: most of the units you have listed here are no longer in service, for example the 3 FSS is now the 673d fss and the 3 sfs is now the 673d sfs. JBER changed a lot of the units and what wing they are attached to. all this can be found on the usaf base web site, i would change it but i dont have the time  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.67.51.137 (talk) 06:52, 16 November 2010 (UTC)

message: My father was stationed at Fort Richardson from 1946-1954. He and I were separated shortly after my birth but reconnected when I was about 27. We talked about many things and he had several stories about his service but I would like to know more. I would greatly appreciate anyone who could give me a lead.
Looking for anyone who could recall him or that time. His name is Roland Chivers. He served as a Food Inspector, Survival Trainer, and Veterinary Tech. He was a member of Big Delta Alaska Rifle and Pistol Club. He also ended up in Look magazine with a picture of some starlet who visited the base. 
Anyone who remembers him or that time frame, please contact me at kangiwitko@gmail.com  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 50.8.253.195 (talk) 18:29, 19 May 2012 (UTC)
thread_title: Info on history of Fort Richardson

message: * This article is rated B for WP:ALASKA (does it exist?).  That includes a yes answer to "It is suitably referenced, and all major points are appropriately cited", which is obviously not accurate.  WP:US apparently allows a B rating without evaluating the individual points, so I can't comment on that.  The Start rating on Wikipedia:WikiProject Airports on the other hand is too low.
* The article was moved from JB Elmendorf Richardson for good reasons.  However, what is the authority for the USAF portion of the joint base being named "Elmendorf Field"? --Lineagegeek (talk) 22:48, 24 May 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: Actually, this was one of a number of articles split off from the JBER article.  From the looks of it, little work was done beyond simple cut-and-paste jobs.  For instance, Talk:Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson redirects to this talk page, despite there being two separate articles.  I believe these assessments relate to the JBER article before the split.  As for the name, of course its common name would be Elmendorf Air Force Base, not Elmendorf Field.  If the airfield is independently notable of the installation and deserving of its own article (which I doubt), then that would be the appropriate name for that article.
