I've deleted "Go away Burns!!!" from the "Search Phases" heading. It seems to have no relevance whatsoever.

[edit] SAR PPs

Can we add a section about the Federal Aviation Regulation allowing private pilots to participate in SAR operations at the reimbursement of the government? Swatjester 23:30, 14 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Wilderness search and rescue=

It appears the intent is for "Wilderness search and rescue" in the introduction to link the the Subsection "Wilderness search and rescue" in the United States section. However, I couldn't figure out how to link to a sub section either. DriveBy27 02:39, 21 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] US bias

The article is very US-centric. Editors from other countries, PLEASE step in! Una Smith 01:27, 22 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Northern Territory of Australia

I'm pretty sure the NTES (Northern Territory Emergency Services) operate in the NT, and not the AusSAR.

[edit] Helicopter

This article has countless links to helicopter yet none of them are clickable, whassup with that? TheBlazikenMaster 10:08, 9 November 2007 (UTC)

I have linked the first caption and text instances of helicopter in the article. How is that? - Ahunt 12:17, 9 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] References

This article has many whole sections, particularly dealing with national SAR, that have no references at all. These have been paragraph tagged for some time, but few refs have been added as a result. I have managed to hunt down some refs for some sections, but most still are unreferenced. I have added section unref tags to show editors where refs are needed and also to alert readers that the sections are unreferenced and therefore totally unreliable. Editors should note that unreferenced information can be challenged and deleted at any time, so if you are adding text without refs it may be gone quickly.

In short refs are required for all information in Wikipedia. - Ahunt (talk) 13:27, 13 April 2008 (UTC)
