Problems with recent edit (reverted and re-reverted)[edit]
"With the 1997 merger taking prior to production..." - grammatically incorrect (taking place? happening?)
"...design range of 2,060 nautical miles [nmi] (3,820 km; 2,370 mi)." -- nautical miles was already spelled out and linked by the unit conversion template, what is the nmi in square brackets even doing here?
In the lead, "broader DC-9 family" is redundant, making the lead longer for no good reason. (if it is a product family, of course it includes other models).

- 1) Fair point. Changed.
- 2) nmi is a rare unit of measure outside of aviation, for a generalist encyclopedia I felt it helpful to clarify the abbreviation at first usage.
- 3) Agreed it’s a bit clunky, but it’s also the way most of the DC-9 pages are worded. RickyCourtney (talk) 04:51, 15 June 2023 (UTC)
