Talk:Maxwell Air Force Base

Gunter info missing

Gunter was a base its own right until it merged with Maxwell to evade a BRAC closure in the 90's. There is no info about that base in the current article, and needs to be included if this article covers both.Cfpresley 18:32, 9 September 2007 (UTC)

Article missing from search engines

Not sure why, but searching for 'maxwell air force base wikipedia' will not return this article on google or duckduckgo. It does, however, appear in bing's results. What the what? DarrenBaker (talk) 15:27, 8 March 2012 (UTC)

Project Blue Book Records Resting Place

Added with reference the final resting place of the records of Project Blue Book under the Cold War Section.Chantern15 (talk) 00:24, 1 October 2021 (UTC)chantern15

Why was this removed? It's an established fact and I sourced it.Chantern15 (talk) 04:47, 9 October 2021 (UTC)chantern15

WP:UNDUE. Wikipedia isn't an indiscriminate collection of information, we don't list everything that can be sourced. This is very minor trivia that is only of interest to UFO enthusiasts. - MrOllie (talk) 11:44, 9 October 2021 (UTC)

I think that mentioning the location of the archives of an important government study would help to inform people in the spirit of an encyclopaedia, I think that this should not be classified as "minor trivia" just because it maybe important to UFO enthusiasts. It could also be of interest to archivists or librarians, FOIA enthusiasts, to give an example. Chantern15 (talk) 20:24, 15 October 2021 (UTC)chantern15

We could probably source and include the lunch menu of the base cafeteria, too, which would be of interest to chefs. But we don't because the vast majority of sources about the topic of this article don't mention it. MrOllie (talk) 21:59, 15 October 2021 (UTC)

Why not? Chantern15 (talk) 14:36, 20 October 2021 (UTC)chantern15

My guess - perhaps a wild guess, but a guess nonetheless - is that professional sources of news/information have made the editorial decision that the daily lunch menu of military bases is of no interest to their readers/listeners. Perhaps that is a poor decision, perhaps it is a good decision. Fortunately for us that distinction is irrelevant, because if the daily lunch menu is not reported by reliable, independent secondary sources, it is not included here on enWiki. And for the sake of clarity, "the daily lunch menu" can be replaced with any other item/topic/object/whatever. Or were you attempting to ask a different question?

I think that you took my humourous intent too seriously, considering that response to my question was equally snarky. I believe humour does not exist in Wikipedia outside essays listed as "humourous", which is funny in of itself. Or what humour is there is mostly snark and taking things too seriously. I hope that we can all take a moment to laugh at ourselves. Chantern15 (talk) 23:13, 20 October 2021 (UTC)chantern15
