History[edit]

User:Plasma_east recently deleted the entire history section of this article and replaced it with a single sentence. I recognize that this was not intended as vandalism (and may, in fact, have a good reason behind it), but I've restored the history section for now, pending some public discussion here on the talk page.

Hi, sorry about not giving warning of my actions. I'm currently trying to standardize the appearance of several Canadian Forces Base articles and got caught up in my editing. My rationale for moving the history of Rockcliffe Airport to the expanded CFB Rockcliffe article was to consolidate the facility's military history under the last operational unit name (CFB Rockcliffe), leaving discussion of the facility's civilian usage (Rockcliffe Airport, Rockcliffe Flying Club, and the National Aviation Museum) to this article. Apologies after the fact!... Plasma east 17:35, 22 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks, that makes a lot of sense, and I agree with (and appreciate) the change. I've edited the page to retain a condensed history, with a main-article pointer to CFB Rockcliffe for more details. At some point in the future, we might want to split the History section into separate civilian and military parts, with the main pointer only in the military subsection.
