Re: the site is officially "Area B"

[edit]

Referring to the note within the Citation Needed note in the article's introduction (reason=Most other claims are that only a portion of Wilbur Wright Field remains as part of "Area B") - I checked with the "WRIGHT-PATTERSON AIR FORCE BASE Fact Sheet", and it suggests "Wilbur Wright Field and the Fairfield Aviation General Supply Depot were adjacent [to Wright-Pat] installations located at what is today Area C of the base." Now I am not one to dispute facts over such a thing without first having a nice long conversation over drinks in a nearby pub with the local historians and the base commander, and I don't see any archived consensus discussions over the matter, but perhaps someone can shed some light over the dispute here? When we have a Citation Needed in the Introduction, which I would like to think is normally expected to be a place that is somewhat indisputable, and presented as a stipulation, it becomes a bit of a problem for viewers. Thanks in advance. -- T-dot ( Talk/contribs ) 09:54, 18 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

What evidence that this field was only named for Wilbur Wright?

[edit]

I find no citation nor evidence outside of this article that the name includes only Wilbur Wright. Why would brother Orville be excluded? This is an important point and should be addressed unequivocally, else the article needs to be re-titled. Tmangray (talk) 20:18, 21 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
