[edit] Copied

Most all of the content, came from the first external link, the official military site, it is straight copying... CuBiXcRaYfIsH 07:36, 29 December 2005 (UTC)

Since the source is public domain, what's the issue? Looks like it has long since been cleaned up to remove POV. --Pmsyyz 11:14, 29 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Location

Is the exact location of the entrance the base really necessary? Unless there is any opposition, i am going to delete the latitude and longitude given.--Geppy 05:22, 8 March 2006 (UTC)

Keep, of course. It provides also map links.--Patrick 12:25, 8 March 2006 (UTC)

I reduced the excessive accuracy.--Patrick 12:32, 8 March 2006 (UTC)

Everybody with ICBM capability already knows. --John Nagle 16:05, 8 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Stargateproject

{{stargateproject}} <big>Please manually move the above banner to the top of the page.</big>

This banner has been added to aid project coordination. It was added using AWB, the automation of which could not place the banner at the top; please help by doing this manually. --Albotim 02:55, 5 June 2006 (UTC)

This article describes a real-world US defense facility and is not part of "Wikipedia Project Stargate". The above banner has thus been removed. --John Nagle 03:16, 5 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Zoo...

Maybe this article is not properly titled. Is it about the mountain or about the military base? If only about the military base, maybe it should be renamed to Cheyenne Mountain Operations Center. I tried to add a "See also" to Cheyenne Mountain Zoo, which would certainly be appropriate on an article about the mountain, but maybe not on an article about a military base. This mountain is used for other purposes as well, and a "See also" link is a fairly harmless way of letting others know that. --MattWright (talk) 23:29, 6 August 2006 (UTC)

Hi Matt, I removed the link. You make a valid argument as far as the title of the article and it seems there is category:Mountains of Colorado of which this is part. I will revert my own edit and apologize for being hasty with the change. --Paul E. Ester 00:52, 7 August 2006 (UTC)

No problem Paul, thanks for adding it back! --MattWright (talk) 01:01, 7 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Radius

"built to withstand a multimegaton blast within 1.5 nautical miles (3 km)." this sentence should be retooled, does it mean that the blast can within 3km of the bunker? or does it mean 3km from outside the bunker. Its probably the latter, since 3km WITHIN range of the bunker is redundant (the further away the easier to withstand)
