GAN review
I have opened a GAN review at Talk:McDonnell Douglas F/A-18 Hornet in Australian service/GA1 but the template doesn't seem to work correctly. or is it something i have done?Petebutt (talk) 21:23, 24 April 2012 (UTC)
 * Thanks for that. I'm not sure what's gone wrong with the template. Nick-D (talk) 00:41, 25 April 2012 (UTC)

Question
Does this article cover Australia's use of the Super Hornet or not? If not, this should be made clear,, while if it is within the scope, then more detail should be added.Nigel Ish (talk) 16:12, 4 August 2012 (UTC)
 * No, the Super Hornets are quite different aircraft (with a distinctively different name). That's noted in the last paragraph of the 'production' section. Nick-D (talk) 23:41, 4 August 2012 (UTC)

WP:URFA/2020
Another fine one from ; could you add some dates/context/"as of"/past tense/whatever on items like this throughout and check for MOS:CURRENT? No need to get back to me, marking satisfactory, unwatch, Sandy Georgia (Talk)  23:24, 5 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Since 1999, the RAAF has put its Hornets through a series of upgrades to improve their effectiveness. However, the aircraft are becoming increasingly difficult to operate and are at risk of being outclassed by the fighters and air-defence systems operated by other countries. As a result, the RAAF is currently retiring its F/A-18s, and the last aircraft is scheduled to leave service in the early 2020s.
 * Thanks Sandy, I've just updated the article. Nick-D (talk) 00:11, 6 December 2020 (UTC)

A few more

 * "The next loss occurred on 2 August 1990 when two No. 75 Squadron Hornets (A21-29 and A21-42) collided. A21-42 crashed, killing the unit's commanding officer; the other aircraft was damaged but managed to return to base. On 5 June 1990 A21-41 crashed 100 kilometres (62 mi) north-east of Weipa, Queensland, killing its pilot." - Something seems off here - shouldn't the June 1990 have been the next loss, not August 1990?
 * "As of September 2017, all of the remaining 71 F/A-18s were still in service" - any update needed for this?

Looks good, marking satisfactory. Hog Farm Talk 17:40, 23 April 2021 (UTC)
