Talk:DC-10 Air Tanker

message: I have put on the article for hold. Improve on these and could be reviewed again.It has been withdrawn.
Responses to the concerns are inserted in green text.
# Manual of Style: Pass'
::It has correct grammar and spelling. It is also not confusing and does not have so much jargon in it.
# Verifability: Weak Fail
::I have tested the sources:
:::*2 sources were "broken links"
::::*Only one broken link found, and removed. All other links are operable and have been tested as of this edit.
:::*All of them are websites, most being news updates
::::*I'm not sure I understand the issue here. All are reputable 3rd party secondary sources. That's the kind of refs we're supposed to have. I've added a few more, as well as 2 ELs, including a link to an NPR radio news report covering the aircraft.
::I think these parts could be easily fixed, though.
# Coverage: Fail
::I believe this is the major problem. 
:::*Does not have statistics, such as accelation and such
::::*I have added the specifications section from the DC-10 article pertaining to this aircraft. You'll have to live with the specs offered, as "acceleration" is not a standard aircraft spec.
:::*Also, some parts are way far too short. Let's expand a bit
::::*Which parts are too short? Please specify. Please also note that this article is about a specific aircraft, and we already have an extensive article, which is linked, about the type of aircraft."
::This parts are the pain, so getting to work on these will be efficient
# Neutrality: Pass
::No problems with point-of-views
# Stability: Weak Fail
::It's not vandalized so often. However, AKradecki made most of the part in a day. I'm not sure if this can show stability.
:::I'm not sure how to address that...this article started as a stub in July, 2006, and has grown bit by bit as the new aircraft has garnered continuing media coverage. If the reviewers simply want the artilce to sit and exist for a period of time before another review, that's fine, just specifiy how long.
# Images: Pass
::No problems with fair use. 
Good luck next time! --Hirohisat Talk 06:38, 7 August 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  GA review 

message: Ok, Akradecki asked me for a re-review subsequent to my comments above.  Here you go.
*"...the only wide-body jet air tanker currently in fire service..." - in the USA, in the world?
**Yes. Evergreen was developing a 747 tanker, but abandoned the project.
*"The conversion of the original airframe to a fire-fighting aircraft was a joint venture under the name of 10 Tanker Air Carrier between Cargo Conversions of San Carlos, California and Omni Air International, with conversion work being performed by Victorville Aerospace at the Victorville Airport." needs citation.
*Explain "baffle" or wikilink (for the non-expert).
*Add a full stop (period) before ref [4] per [[WP:CITE].
*Last two paras of Usage could be merged to improve flow.
*Minor point, and perhaps invalid, but "2007–2009" I prefer "2007–09".
*I think it may be useful to create an article about "Fire season" for those of us who know nothing about it.  Then you could link to it from here.
*"Tanker 910 was also activated for the Moonlight Fire in Plumas County, as of September 6, 2007." needs citation.
*"...they are happy with the aircraft..." - not really encyclopaedic unless you can "quote" it.
*Slight excess on external links...
So I'll suggest attending to my comments.  It's in a much better state than when I initially reviewed it.  Good work.  The Rambling Man 19:03, 21 October 2007 (UTC)

message: On 20 June 2016 I observed a DC10 drop orange retardant on the San Gabriel Complex Fire from Huntington Drive.  It appeared the drop was intended to stop fire from reaching the homes below Saltysailor (talk)•  —Preceding undated comment added 21:12, 22 June 2016 (UTC)
thread_title: 2016

message: Now that Tanker 910 is no longer unique (Tanker 911 has been built up by 10 Tanker Air Carrier), I'm proposing that the article be refined and moved to 10 Tanker Air Carrier, since that is the operator and contractor of record, and the notability inferred by all the media refs applies to that as well. Comments? AKRadeckiSpeaketh 23:49, 15 October 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Move proposal 

message: Does anybody have a clou why they did not install the retardant tanks inside the aircraft? That way, they wouldn't impact aerodynamics, and wouldn't the center of gravity also have remained closer to the original specs? --Cancun771 (talk) 09:11, 18 August 2015 (UTC)

message: * A third, "Tanker 910" was retired in 2014
* In late September 2015 Tanker 910 flew from Albuquerque to Australia to begin an exclusive use contract with the State Government of New South Wales. The aircraft was based at RAAF Base Richmond, located 40 miles Northwest of Sydney. In the five months Tanker 910 was stationed in Australia, it flew 32 missions in the three Australian states of New South Wales, Victoria and Tasmania. Tanker 910 returned to Albuquerque on February 26, 2016, to begin preparations for the North American fire season.
So is Tanker 910 retired now or not?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Toben (talk • contribs) 06:45, 10 October 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: They have reused the number for another (overall fifth) Tanker. The original "910" was a DC-10-10 built in 1975 for National Airlines, which got replaced by a much younger DC-10-30. Now all four are DC-10-30 with three coming from the last two production years 1987/1988. "911" is also a DC-10-30, but a much older one, built in 1975 for Finnair.
Oh, and interesting: The last DC-10 ever built is now owned by BC Aircraft Leasing, which is the leasing company for all the tankers… --TheK (talk) 19:32, 11 June 2019 (UTC)
