Recommendation

Lots of other U.S. Army bases with substantially more information on Wikipedia. I will use those as a guide to help build this Wikipedia out further!Ervin 2007 (talk) 15:44, 28 January 2024 (UTC) Ervin 2007 (talk) 15:43, 28 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Strategic or Garden?

"Before that, successive cultures of Native Americans had occupied it for thousands of years because of its strategic position along the Mississippi River."

but later it chit-chats about it being a nice place in the summer, a "garden". Not generally what I think of as "strategic". Bit of a quibble.

If you still like the sentence, why not put it first in para, so para reads in temporal order? just a thought. Feldercarb (talk) 16:46, 21 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
