[edit] clean up

Minor spelling grammar and wikification. Brought new parking garage up to date. This article cites no souces!!User:Mikereichold | User_talk:Mikereichold 20:17, 18 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Drew Field merger

I'm proposing that the Drew Field article be "merged" here ... well actually just replaced by a redirect, since this article already contains far more information on Drew Field.--J Clear 03:47, 15 June 2006 (UTC)

It's not very large, and you can certainly merge it yourself; the drew field article is just a small sentence, simply add the sentence to the history section (unless it's already there), and then turn the article into a redirect. If you need any help contact me. Thanks -- SmthManly / ^ManlyTalk / ^{ManlyContribs} 06:16, 15 June 2006 (UTC)

I wasn't worried about doing it, or expect it to be controversial. I just wanted to make sure somebody didn't have plans for a massive expansion of Drew "next Tuesday".--J Clear 00:00, 16 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Major revision of the Terminal section

I have just completed a major revision/expansion of the Terminal section and further review is needed. Wslupecki 14:56, 12 August 2006 (UTC).

[edit] Older/Current Airside

Ok I know this may be someone's pet project, but this whole old airside current airside thing is just garbage. It's not really relevant at all. Plus it does not fit in with Wikiproject Airports article structure. Keep the current airside info for the destinations, and relegate the rest to the bin. I'm posting this as courtesy before I go and edit myself skyskraper 15:20, 19 September 2006 (UTC)

The Old Airsides thing was actually my idea and I plan on shoving the info into it's own article in a couple days. It may not be seen as appropriate for the main article, but I believe the information is still a part of the airport's history and deserves a place in wikipedia. I will add a split proposal in response to this. Wslupecki 17:41, 3 February 2007 (UTC).

[edit] Split Original Airsides Section Proposal

Here you may voice your opinion as to whether to keep the "Original Airsides" section in the main article, split it into it's own article (title is still undetermined), or trash the section altogether. I would perfer that the section be split into it's own article. However, I will allow several weeks to allow input before I take any action. Wslupecki 17:48, 3 February 2007 (UTC).

Keep it here, I'm pretty sure that giving it it's own article will set it on the AFD train, the information is notable in relation to this article, but not on its own. Also, you may want to put the current airsides first, not the older ones, since current airlines and gates is information a user would want first, and in its current form it's a bit hidden. Good luck. -- SmthManly / ^ManlyTalk / ^{ManlyContribs} 02:26, 4 February 2007 (UTC)

I agree, keep it here and swap current and original. Nothing would be gained by deleting it. Morthanley 23:54, 7 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Follow-Up 3/4/07

Well, it seems that very little input has been placed regarding the split proposal. Oh well. I will first thank those who did place their suggestions. Second, I will swap old and current airsides sections for now. However, I will keep the discussion open for anyone who may have further opinions regarding the section. Furthermore, If the "Original Airsides" section conflicts with meeting the standards of WikiProject Airports, I will split the section immediately. Again, I thank those who did input their suggestions for the section. Wslupecki 02:02, 5 March 2007 (UTC).

[edit] Airside D

For those who may be confused about the future of Airside D, the building is currently in the demolition process, which may be complete by summer 2007. The site will then be converted into an overnight aircraft hardstand, similar to that of Airside B. Eventually, a replacement control tower and component facilities will be built on the Airside D site as part of preparation for the construction of the North Terminal Complex. However, An 8 to 10 gate replacement terminal for Airside D could be built alongside the tower in the future if capacity for the North Terminal is exceeded. Such a replacement is probably not likely until 2020 or beyond though. Wslupecki 22:10, 27 February 2007 (UTC).
