Article move

Why was this article moved from Fort Hood, which is the norm for military bases? It's not a town, like Fort Worth, Texas. —wwoods 03:44, 14 May 2006 (UTC)

Some of the material may have been moved, but the article was created because of Fort Hood as a census-designated place. Tbe information about the base was added later. For me it hasn't yet reached some magic threshold that would make me think that there needs to be two separate articles, but I believe that eventually there will need to be. Or the CPD will disappear because of changes in a future census. Deh 03:58, 14 May 2006 (UTC)

Photo Captions

Is it really neccessary to title photos with a former President the "Then U.S. President Bush greeting troops" - is Washing crossing the Delaware going to need the same edit, or should photos with a year (2003) capable of having a caption without having to point out that the current president is not a Bush?... Do we really need to add U.S. in front of American President's?

At a risk of offending anyone, I've edited the caption

Bot problems

I see a number of problems with this article, and I'm sure that other articles with census data have the same problems. Articles with census data are created and updated with bots, yet there is no indication of which areas should be avoided by humans in order to avoid making changes that cannot be updated by bots (such as when the next census is reported). Is there any way to use templates to provide the same data? Bots could then search for templates and update the figures used.

Since this artcle refers to the CDP, it does not refer to the legal boundaries of Fort Hood, which are considerably larger than indicated by the article (hundreds of square miles); it's as large as some counties. Can someone provide the full size? --Scott McNay 02:55, 17 July 2006 (UTC)

location

"located halfway between Austin and Waco within the U.S. state of Texas." For those of us who are not from texas and do not know where austin or waco is located and do not want to research it, it might be better to say how many miles away from the two cities it is. Just a suggestion. Also, the history should have a breif summary, even if there is another page for the history.-ChristopherMannMcKay 17:17, 1 February 2007 (UTC)

How hard is it to bring up Google Maps and educate yourself? If you're viewing this webpage, you should have the necessary software. 84.173.178.227 10:11, 21 September 2007 (UTC)

Merger Proposal

Moving the article History of Fort Hood in the the History section of the Fort Hood article would be in keeping with other articles about Active US Military installations. --dashiellx (talk) 17:30, 29 April 2008 (UTC)

Article merged: See old talk-page here

Article reassessed and graded as start class. --dashiellx (talk) 17:30, 29 April 2008 (UTC)

Transformation

First Army Division West relocated to Hood, effectively switching places with 4th ID — I made the appropriate changes. However, 4th ID's Combat Aviation Brigade remains at Fort Hood — I took 4th ID's SSI off of the infobox because it is "not a major command headquartered at Fort Hood" but if anyone thinks it should remain I have no qualms about it.

Request for semi-protection

I request the article be semi-protected to prevent the article from vandalism because Fort Hood is in the news about the shooting rampage, and if it's featured in the news section of the Wikipedia's front page, it may be a target for vandalism. RYAN 3000 (talk) 22:38, 5 November 2009 (UTC)

EDIT: I'm talking about the page being the target for vandalism by unregistered or newly-registered users. RYAN 3000 (talk) 22:41, 5 November 2009 (UTC)

It was confirmed via ABC news he was a Muzzie convert, FYI. Oldenglish77 (talk) 23:13, 5 November 2009 (UTC)

If and when this information meets the criteria for inclusion, it will be added. Wikipedia is not a news source and therefore does not need to have up to the minute information. Also, I would caution you to watch your wording. Wperdue (talk) 23:16, 5 November 2009 (UTC)

Request for Protecton

I, Rhatsa26X, a established member of WikiProject Indiana, generally have nothing to do with WikiProject Texas but just repaired vandalism that someone with no sense of respect did. {{editprotected}}

I was looking through the Fort Hood Article and went into a side article on the shooting that occurred Thursday. When I came back to the article, the header read "9/11 was an Inside Job - Redirected from Fort Hood". I subsequently moved the page back to Fort Hood. My dad being stationed here a long time ago, and knowing a few soldiers from here in Indiana currently stationed here, this tasteless act of vandalism has made it insultingly apparent that protection for this article is needed. If any of the previous discussions on this page are an indication, this is not the first such act and future vandalism will be prevented by issuing a protection to this article.

P.S. This base was my brother's birthplace.

I also request that the perpetrator, User:SUCKISSTAPLES be placed on probation for the act as well. See Revision history of Fort Hood for proof of wrongdoing.

14 deaths?

Should it say this? It raises a question of moral beliefs that divides people.Faythoffenrir (talk) 20:12, 10 November 2009 (UTC)

Contradictions with "Fort Hood shooting" & "Nidal Malik Hasan"

The section here on the shooting seems to be contradictory with the Fort Hood shooting and the Nidal Malik Hasan article as to whether Munley even shot at Hasan, and Todds rank, Sergeant or (here) Senior sergeant.
The references date from 5/6 November so may be out of date --220.101.28.25 (talk) 22:28, 15 November 2009 (UTC)

Personal declaration

I'm just noting here I have a relative stationed at Fort Hood but I believe my edits are consistent with Wikipedia policy and certainly don't object to them being edited or removed if others feel they're not. NE Ent 18:50, 3 April 2014 (UTC)

Request that the location of Fort Hood be revised from Gatesville, TX to Killeen, TX.

The first sentence within this article is incorrect.

"Fort Hood is a U.S. military post located in Gatesville, Texas."

Fort Hood is located within the Killeen/Temple/Fort Hood metropolitan area. Gatesville, Texas is approximately 40 miles to the North of the main post, by road. The three areas the comprise the Fort Hood installation are "Main Post", "West Fort Hood" and "North Fort Hood".

Main Post is where most all of the organizational units are located. Housing, barracks, MWR, AAFES services, rotary-wing aviation assets, medical and dental services. III Corps Headquarters (Installation HQ) is located on Main Post as well. The main post is directly abutted to Killeen, Texas. West Fort Hood is also abutted to Killeen. There is limited housing available on West Fort Hood and is primarily used for fixed-wing aviation assets. West Fort Hood shares an airstrip with the Killeen/Fort Hood Regional Airport (GRK). North Fort Hood is the area dedicated solely to training. It is North of the main post and south of Gatesville, Texas.

Google Maps can also provide reference to the location of Fort Hood, Texas. Cory voss (talk) 20:20, 16 November 2015 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Cory voss (talk • contribs) 20:14, 16 November 2015 (UTC)

Relative size of Ft Hood

I'm going to change the sentence in the opening paragraph that states "...and is the largest military base in the world (by area) with more than 215,000 acres." I know Eglin AFB in Florida is more than 400,000 acres. Hildenja (talk) 13:36, 23 February 2018 (UTC)
