June 2021

Hello, I'm BilCat. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, General Dynamics F-16 VISTA, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so. You can have a look at the tutorial on citing sources. If you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. BilCat (talk) 05:32, 15 June 2021 (UTC)

F-16 VISTA

You recently added information to General Dynamics F-16 VISTA claiming that it was redesignated X-62A, but did not provide a reliable source. While the aircraft may very well have been redesignated, we cannot include that information here without reliable sources. A letter from a high ranking Air Force official is not enough, as we have no way of knowing if it is real or a fake. Additionally, it's not wise to publish a non-public letter from a military official until it is revealed in a press release as it could be seen as leaking classified documents. - ZLEA _T\^C 18:06, 15 June 2021 (UTC)

I concur, and thanks for adding that, ZLEA. BilCat (talk) 18:19, 15 June 2021 (UTC)

I concur as well. I'll update with a reference once the information has been publicly released. SurlySlipper (talk) 18:50, 15 June 2021 (UTC)

Thanks. BilCat (talk) 19:00, 15 June 2021 (UTC)

It took 6 weeks, but the X-62 redesignation has finally been announced. I moved the article to the new title a.few days ago. BilCat (talk) 04:59, 4 August 2021 (UTC)
