 * GA review (see here for what the criteria are, and here for what they are not)


 * 1) It is reasonably well written.
 * a (prose, no copyvios, spelling and grammar): b (MoS for lead, layout, word choice, fiction, and lists):
 * The Article is quite long (>75 KB), so please try to split it into reasonable subpages. ❌
 * Repeating the same cite over and over again is unecessary ✅ Faizan (talk) 12:15, 12 April 2015 (UTC)
 * Inconsistency: Block 2 and Block II ✅
 * Please use American or British English, not both. ✅
 * Has a bunch of jargon that most readers don't understand (for example "fairing").
 * Lead and Infobox
 * Citations are Unecessary in the lead and infobox ✅ Faizan (talk) 10:46, 11 April 2015 (UTC)
 * Development section
 * Dup link to Thomson-CSF ✅
 * Link to fighter, bomber, Pakistan, and interceptor ✅
 * Operational History section
 * Should change title to Service History ✅
 * Dup links to Rao Qamar Suleman and Nigeria ✅
 * Design section
 * Dup links to Head up display and multi-function displays ✅
 * The JF-17 can be armed with up ... ✅
 * Variants
 * "Mach 2.0+" would do better as "over two times the speed of sound" ✅ Faizan (talk) 10:02, 11 April 2015 (UTC)
 * 1) It is factually accurate and verifiable.
 * a (reference section): b (citations to reliable sources):  c (OR):
 * Has a "dubious-discuss" and a "citation needed" tag in the "Specifications (Block 1)" section. ✅ Faizan (talk) 08:20, 12 April 2015 (UTC)
 * Has 8 dead links in the article.
 * 1) It is broad in its coverage.
 * a (major aspects): b (focused):
 * 1) It follows the neutral point of view policy.
 * Fair representation without bias:
 * 1) It is stable.
 * No edit wars, etc.:
 * 1) It is illustrated by images and other media, where possible and appropriate.
 * a (images are tagged and non-free content have fair use rationales): b (appropriate use with suitable captions):
 * 1) Overall:
 * Pass/Fail:
 * Thanks for starting the review, there was a huge backlog. I am taking exams but will try to get this completed as soon as possible. Regarding the 8 dead links, these articles of Janes and Aviation Week were either deleted from their websites or were moved to the paid archives. I could not find them in the available archives too, I cannot find the substitute sources. Faizan (talk) 10:18, 11 April 2015 (UTC)
 * Universal British English is being used in the article. Faizan (talk) 10:21, 11 April 2015 (UTC)
 * Well, regarding the jargon, I propose that the text be abridged. Aircraft fairing is a component of the airframe, but I am also sure that most readers have not heard about it before. Faizan (talk) 11:03, 11 April 2015 (UTC)
 * No reasonable split can be made. Generally article is split when it crosses 100 KB. General Dynamics F-16 Fighting Falcon is >114 KB. So split is unnecessary. Faizan (talk) 12:27, 12 April 2015 (UTC)
