You added the note to the page "BTW, Hatch (p. 203) mentions nothing about 2 FIS having been at Claresholm" and you are correct. that statement and the one on the initial opening date were in the article prior to my involvement. Should we delete it or mark that it need citation. I am still fairly new to the whole editing thing, but I think this is a good endeavor. Your opinion?

I had originally added the date content from
http://www.bombercommandmuseum.ca/bcatpvulcan.html. I am now not confident about this information. There are a couple of sources that mention that 2 FIS moved from Claresholm, but I'm not sure that these sources are particularly reliable either. For now, I think we should go with the most reliable source, which is Hatch, who says nothing about 2 FIS being at Claresholm. I would say, remove the content re: Clareholm for now until we find a more reliable source. The page on
RCAF Station Claresholm may need to be modified as well. I'm sure there are good sources somewhere that can confirm all this. Welcome, BTW, to Wikipedia. I've been here for many years and am still learning about it. Bottom line is that anything we add or change should have
reliable sources.-

Very nice. I think this source is fine to use even though it's primary. See
WP:PSTS. As long as we use it "with care" and there is no interpretation of the content. Citing this source would be the same as with any source (see
wp:citing sources). Now, if we can find more details about Claresholm since the Claresholm page refers to 2 FIS being there for a while. There are at least two non-primary sources that allude to this and, as I mentioned, I'm not sure these sources are correct.-

Believe it or not, Bruce has used Wikipedia for some of his information. This is happening a lot now with Wikipedia. Sort of an endless circle of information, and stuff gets lost in translation. And further to the citation format, the rule is to use the same format for all citations in an article. I.e. the same format that was originally used.
