 * Done

 * Fixed

 * Done
 * the infobox says in service to 1990, but the Kiwi's operated them till 2001? I guess they became K's when the were converted, so maybe just something in the body saying that all the G's were converted to K's by 1990 (if that's right, mentioned in the lead but not the body)?
 * Done (I thought I'd included this, but I'd missed it).
 * I suggest mentioning the lead that a further two were lost in NZ service, including a further death. Again, they were Ks but it is relevant given the accident record. I was wondering what the accident record of the Skyhawk was in general, and whether that is worth mentioning.
 * Done. The only source which discusses this is Wilson, who notes that the loss rate was due to the dangers of operating aircraft at sea. I'll look for some more general sources before taking this to an ACR, but all single-engined types of this era suffered pretty high loss rates (quite a few of the RAAF's Mirage IIIs were destroyed as a result of engine failures, for example). More generally loss rates of this era were much higher than those of modern types - for instance, when the RAAF purchased 75 F/A-18 Hornets in the early 1990s it expected to have written off eleven of them by 2000 - in the event only four had been lost by this time and none have (thankfully) been destroyed since 1992.
 * toolbox checks all green (no action required)
 * not requirements for GA, but just for noting for the future, no alt text on non-infobox images, several 10 digit isbns could be converted to 13 digit ones that are available per WP:ISBN
 * Thanks I'll follow up on this as part of the ACR preparations.
 * Have just put it on hold for those few things to be addressed. Great article! Regards, Peacemaker67 (send... over) 12:43, 18 April 2013 (UTC)
