* That it was supposed to be a "replacement for the F-111 Aardvark" is not on the cited pages. Please fix this.
* [https://copyvios.toolforge.org/?lang=en&project=wikipedia&oldid=1154336802&action=compare&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.f-16.net%2Ff-16_versions_article1.html Earwig's] shows some close paraphrasing.
* "The prototypes were shelved until being turned over to NASA for additional aeronautical research in 1988.[2]" : [2] only says that "two delta-wing F-16XL aircraft [were used] from 1988 to 1996". This certainly does not mean that they were ''turned over to NASA in 1988''. <span style="text-shadow:grey 0.5em 0.5em 0.6em;">[[User:AhmadLX|<i style="color:teal">AhmadLX</i>]]-[[User talk:AhmadLX|(<i style="color:brown">Wikiposta</i>]])</span> 19:02, 16 May 2023 (UTC)
* "Both aircraft were fully retired in 2009 and stored at Edwards Air Force Base." What does "both" refer to? Also, the source is a list, which doesn't say anything about when the aircrafts were retired.
* USAF provided "production F-16 airframes for conversion". The cited page says "fuselage". Is fuselage same as airframe? <span style="text-shadow:grey 0.5em 0.5em 0.6em;">[[User:AhmadLX|<i style="color:teal">AhmadLX</i>]]-[[User talk:AhmadLX|(<i style="color:brown">Wikiposta</i>]])</span> 19:34, 16 May 2023 (UTC)
* The issues have been [[Talk:General_Dynamics_F-16XL#On_Template:Did_you_know_nominations/General_Dynamics_F-16XL|fixed by the GA nom]].
