How many soldiers and support staff are based at the Garrison, and how many of those served in Afghanistan? 198.161.51.146 23:30, 22 March 2007 (UTC)
The history section was (justifiably) removed since it was deemed to be non-free content taken from another website. However, as the writer of that content, I can safely say that the majority of this content (I believe there were some small edits of this content by others over three years) was written by me using several sources (on record, but should probably have been listed as sources on the article page), and was never lifted from that site. That web site ( http://www.army.forces.gc.ca/cfb_edmonton/history.html) used/copied this material verbatim from this article. If the sequence of edits from Nov. 2006 are checked, you can see that I had made a few changes from my original edit, which proves I was the original writer. The site that "stole" this text used the final wording. The web master of this site has been contacted by User:CambridgeBayWeather to verify their source but, as yet has not replied. I suspect this chicken/egg problem is going to recur often with Wikipedia as more and more websites use Wikipedia as a primary source.-- BC talk to me 18:53, 21 June 2009 (UTC)
It is common practice to strike out the info on closed runways. See for example Andrew Airport, and other defunct airports in Alberta. Just because the helipads are still open doesn't mean that the runways should be removed. 117Avenue ( talk) 22:06, 3 August 2010 (UTC)
Yes, I'm confused about the Edmonton City Centre now too, because in the news they've been saying permanent, and have showed video of the lights and signs being taken out, and the painted X on the runway. Is September 23 the day of the next Canada Flight Supplement? If you have striked out all the defunct airports in Canada, then I would say that it is a standard, and it should be included on the Template:Infobox airport/doc. Also, I think "List of abandoned airports in Canada" is not the correct name to use, because "abandoned" implies that it is still there but not used, when Edmonton City Centre is closed, it will be developed, and not exist anymore. 117Avenue ( talk) 00:20, 5 August 2010 (UTC)
The article for Military prison redirects their Canada section to this page when referring to the Canadian Forces Service Prison and Detention Barracks (CFSPDB). But this article has no mention of the military prison operating here. I think this needs to be added to the article at the very least? Spudst3r ( talk) 04:22, 12 May 2023 (UTC)
