[edit] Security reputation, gold, etc

Isnt Fort Knox the place where all gold is stored? Isnt Fort Knox very well known for being high-security and well guarded or something?

Fort Knox Bullion Depository - it's already covered. ---J.Smith 01:00, 10 February 2006 (UTC)

I, too, did not think of going to the Fort Knox Bullion Depository to find more about the high-security. I originally came in search of it, and would have left empty-handed if I had not come to the talk page. Perhaps a small note regarding the influence of the name "Fort Knox", and another link to the Fort Knox Bullion Depository? Kareeser|^Talk! 23:51, 9 March 2006 (UTC)

The current full name for the installation is United States Army Armor Center & Fort Knox, and United States Army Armor School.

[edit] Lazy cut and paste jobs

I'm not allowing lazy cut and paste jobs into this article. Period. Do your own writing! Stevie is the man! ^{Talk • Work} 06:38, 3 October 2006 (UTC)

Dumping a bunch of unwikified text here and expecting others to clean it up is unacceptable, no matter the source. Also, even if public domain text is usable, it must be *factored* into the existing article, something that was not done. Also, the existing content (that many people had worked on) was removed in the process. I don't see a serious effort here to create a good article, and until it becomes serious, I'm fighting it.

[edit] Error?

The page notes a seal on a door in the gold vault being broken for the first time in over 30 years. I just watched a documentary showing this event and it said that the seal was placed there in 1968...making it six years before it was opened again in 1974. Only reason I don't change it is I'm not sure if it's referring to another seal. It can be changed without being incorrect however. I'm not sure the correct way to provide a source but it was the History Channel documentary "Fort Knox: Secrets Revealed" So if someone wants to do this...I just wanted to provide the info - 72.24.86.95 17:57, 4 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] merge tag

I've added a merge tag because the census designated place and the post are the exact same thing. Maintaining two seperate articles is, to be blunt, idiotic. If someone adds "Kentucky" to a link, the link points to the CDP, and if they don't, it links to the military fort article. Consequently, you have articles about military units linking to an article about the demographics of the place. As it is first and foremost an army post, I suggest merging into the Fort Knox article, as this has been the general consensus of the Military History Wikiproject.-- Nobunaga24 04:48, 8 March 2007 (UTC)
