[edit] Proposed move

This article has been incorrectly named against the Naming Conventions. --JAYMEDINC 17:21, 3 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] As author of this article, I must point out

...that Fort Bell was never the name of the Airfield. The first part of the base created was Fort Bell, which housed army engineers and civilian builders who built the airfield. The army kept the title Fort Bell to refer to those areas of the base OTHER than the completed field, which was titled Kindley Field (operational from 1943). Whether Kindley Field was seen as an element of Fort Bell, or...as the largest piece of real estate, and the functional part of the base, once construction was finished, a neighbour is difficult to surmise from the available references. In any case, the title of this article in now blatantly incorrect. It would be better to title it Kindley Field, if only one name must be in the title. Aodhdubh 01:22, 8 January 2007 (UTC)

Sorry, it isn't my intention to in-correctly name any articles. I just want them to meet the Wikipedia Naming Convention guidelines. I have now proposed the split to agree with your last post. --JAYMEDINC 01:13, 9 January 2007 (UTC)

If the base changed from Fort Bell, to Kindley Field that is how the two seperate articles need to be named. --JAYMEDINC 01:13, 9 January 2007 (UTC)
