Is this Aberdeen named after the original and first Aberdeen, in the United Kingdom? If so, which I assume it must be, isn't it worth mentioning this in the article?

[edit] Nearest City?

This article notes "Nearest City: Baltimore, Maryland (36.30 miles)". However, the nearest city is really Havre de Grace, Maryland (4.8 miles)". Is there some standard for choosing the "Nearest City" in such articles? Is it meant to be "Nearest Major City", or precisely "City"? If the former, what's the definition of "Major", and shouldn't it be referenced? If the latter, it should reference Havre de Grace. --Joe Sperrazza (talk) 17:34, 27 April 2008 (UTC)

I'm making this change now. --Joe Sperrazza (talk) 15:02, 29 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] APG sex scandal

I think that the "sex scandal at Aberdeen Proving Ground" should be moved to the APG main article. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 4wajzkd02 (talkcontribs) 03:10, 28 April 2008 (UTC)
