Talk:Boeing C-17 Globemaster III in Australian service

B-class
I haven't passed this for B-class because it is TOO DETAILED and needs slimming down a lot. There is no need to include every flight in detail only NOTABLE ones, a sentence or so apiece. Discuss below--Petebutt (talk) 00:43, 20 January 2013 (UTC)
 * The article obviously doesn't discuss every flight, and the level of detail accorded to the use of the aircraft in responding to natural disasters (which I presume is your concern here) is in line with that in the sources I've consulted, which in turn means that they're the notable flights (no-one has written much about the routine use of these aircraft to ferry supplies from Australia to the Middle East or the transport ADF equipment during training tasks). What is your suggestion for restructuring this material? Note that I'm planning on fleshing the article out further with details of how the aircraft are maintained and what their capabilities are and nominating it for GA status.

 * Hello Pete. I've assessed this as B class - IMO there is nothing in the B class criteria against being detailed. Category B2 is possibly the only criteria that I can see might be the source of your concern, although I note that it states: "B2. It reasonably covers the topic, and does not contain obvious omissions or inaccuracies." This article does that as far as I can see. Of course if you disagree with my assessment I am happy to revert and discuss further. IRT the overall issue expressed that the article is too long I note that it is only just over 17,000 b which seems fairly small in comparision to some of the articles we seem to be churning out now days. I also note that all points are cited to reliable sources and seem to give a broad overview of the topic, while those areas of detail relate to the more notable uses of the aircraft (as covered in the sources) in its relatively short period in-service. As such I didn't see any issues with undue weight. Thoughts? Anotherclown (talk) 11:11, 21 January 2013 (UTC)

Citation style
I suggest we change to style for referencing as it links between short footnotes and citations for a better user experience. 04:17, 30 April 2016 (UTC)
 * If you want to change all of them, please do. But changing just the one is a bit confusing ;) Nick-D (talk) 07:38, 30 April 2016 (UTC)
 * Done. They are all changed now. Clare. (talk) 05:22, 1 May 2016 (UTC)
 * Thank you very much Nick-D (talk) 06:01, 1 May 2016 (UTC)

The article is in a maintenance category for harv ref errors, but I can't figure out what it is. Can some context/as of date be added (throughout?) for ... The Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) operates eight Boeing C-17 Globemaster III large transport aircraft ... Marking Satisfactory, unwatch, no need to get back to me.
