Comments
Per the above warnings, your comment was extremely rude and uncalled for. If you see how many changes get made to player pages that are untrue or just rumors, you would understand the need for proper referencing - it is in fact part of the biography of living person policy that changes to biographies must be properly sourced in the article, not just in the edit summary and not just to a front page of a site with tens of thousands of articles. The policy states "Be very firm about the use of high quality references. Contentious material about living persons that is unsourced or poorly sourced—whether the material is negative, positive, or just questionable—should be removed immediately and without waiting for discussion." It isn't up to me to go searching for an article that may or may not exist, it is up to you to provide it in the first instance. Camw (talk) 05:03, 28 August 2009 (UTC)

Lockheed Martin C-130J Super Hercules
The RAAF will not acquire the two planned aircraft. Please refer to the 2011-2012 Budget documents I have cited. Ng.j (talk) 05:45, 20 May 2011 (UTC)

Australian C-27 Spartan purchase
Hi Mark, I've just undone your changes to the RAAF article. The US giving Australia approval to purchase the C-27 doesn't actually mean that Australia has ordered the aircraft - all it means is that this is now legally possible (for instance, the US Government granted Australia approval to purchase new Sea Hawk helicopters several months before this order was approved by Cabinet last year). There have been no Australian Government press releases announcing a purchase of C-27s I can find. It's very likely that Australia will order C-27s in the near future, but this hasn't happened yet.

Photos of RAAF C-130 and C-17
Hi Mark, I've just deleted the two images you've uploaded under a fair use claim. Given that there are lots of good-quality photos of these aircraft available under Creative Commons-friendly licenses at Wikimedia Commons, these images weren't consistent with Wikipedia's non-free content policy.

New Australian C-17s
Hi Mark, I hope that you didn't mind me reverting you. The current situation seems to be that there are two 'firm' orders for additional C-17s, and the government is still considering whether to purchase the other two (with such a purchase being cleared by the US). It looks highly likely that all four will be purchased from what's been in the media, but this hasn't been confirmed. Nick-D (talk) 05:26, 2 January 2015 (UTC)
