5000 million years old? That looks like a typo, but can anyone verify it's actually 500 million? KriticKill ( talk) 17:19, 6 November 2008 (UTC)

The coordinates need the following fixes:
The coordinates given are for yellowstone national park, instead of Wichita Mountains Wildlife Refuge. 71.199.75.136 ( talk) 05:47, 24 July 2009 (UTC)
Coordinates have been fixed before now. BrainMarble ( talk) 22:08, 20 November 2009 (UTC)
I proposed that Charon Gardens Wilderness Area should be added to this article since it really is just a section of the refuge and doesn't need it's own article. If anybody knows the proper way of merging then please do since I don't. Crimsonedge34 ( talk) 22:02, 16 May 2010 (UTC)
Propose merging Wichita National Forest into this article, perhaps creating a short History section.
These appear to be essentially the same land area, according to sources such as this one. The articles state land area as 57,120 acres for Wichita National Forest and 59,020 acres for Wichita Mountains Wildlife Refuge, a difference of about three percent. Both articles state year established as 1901. Mandruss | talk 05:28, 26 July 2014 (UTC)
Hello, my mom's mom's uncle was Frank Rush Sr, he was the Indian Agent for the Indian Territory and Supervisor at Wichita Mountains Wildlife Refuge 1907-1935 (I think, need verify on the end date. Begin date is correct as I have photos of him picking up the bison from the NY Bronx Zoo), there is even a lake named after him in the Wichita Mountains to this day! A lot of information can be found on him on the internet and the Oklahoma Historical Society, etc. Frank married grandma's sister Mae. They lived in the little house there, with the tree supporting the roof of the porch of Franks Office. (see link to public photos below on my FB)
I don't know a lot about wikipedia and so on, but I can contribute a lot of information, photos and passed down stories from my mom's mom and my mom who grew up at Craterville Park there.
The Rush family was so successful with it, that they ended up with several amusement properties and eventually incorporated under the name Six Flags which they are still known as today.
I propose a "Frank Rush" wiki page be setup and detailed out. I can help with some of it and I'm sure I've already rang some bells with the above. Stuff that ties into this page as well as the North American Bison, LongHorn and other pages related. Like Quanah Parker, Uncle Frank's best friend. The Chief of Chiefs. These other pages, especially Quanah should definitely be linked here. It all ties together. Frank Rush knew all the great Chiefs and was well respected by them for bringing back the great spirit. (Bison)
Yes it's about time I share the information that has been passed down to me and is my Heritage. Please advise. I also have documents about the above conversation that can answer those questions about the name and so on. I don't know how to upload a photo or anything here yet, but I am a C, C++ and C# Developer. etc. (will learn fast)
