[edit] Perhaps merge with Fort Wainwright?

Seems like merging with Fort Wainwright would improve the quality of both articles, and provide a better historical perspective of the post(s). Derek Balsam^(talk) 01:54, 24 May 2007 (UTC)

I see that this merge was already proposed once, recently. There wasn't any discussion about it as far as I can tell. User:Nobunaga24 removed the merge tag with the comment "removing merge tag - Many AAFs have articles seperate from the main fort's article". However, just because "many" Army Air Fields have separate articles doesn't mean that is the right thing to do for this article. See for example Mackall Army Airfield and the entire List of United States Army airfields. Both Ladd Army Airfield and Fort Wainwright are very short articles, and could be improved by the merger. In addition, the term "Ladd Field" not only refers to the Ladd Army Airfield but also to the historical Ladd Air Force Base. A merged article would then give complete historical context of the installation. I'm willing to do the work.Derek Balsam^(talk) 02:32, 24 May 2007 (UTC)
