F-22 Raptor

I have nominated this article for Featured Article status because it has plenty of -and accurate- information, is completley unbiased and is not too long, or a stub. It has excellent pictures, none that are bad quality, or small, and it has pictures in moderation, not everywhere in the article. I ask that this article is the Featured Article for the 19^th of November, as this was it's maiden flight. dan_1024 12:54, 6 November 2006 (UTC)

• Object Most of the article lacks inline citations. Gzkn 13:47, 6 November 2006 (UTC)
• Comment. The citations present seem to be quality, but there are many assertions that need citations. Even if it seems "common knowledge" that the 43rd has the first operational F-22As, this should be cited, as should the statements attributed to USAF, the Pentagon, and Lockheed in "Procurement". Then in "Comparisons", "claimed by many sources" should be replaced or perhaps given as a summary after the flight exercise references. The short sections in the "Development" section could be combined for better flow. Gimmetrow 16:06, 6 November 2006 (UTC)
