@User:Chefmikesf, do you have sources for the updates to acquisitions and divestitures? I don't think we can wipe out the existing section when it has more information. The article in general could use some reorganization and the history section in particular has a couple orange quality banners, open to improving those if you have any input or supporting references to share. - Indefensible (talk) 23:44, 16 December 2022 (UTC)
 * @Indefensible Thank you for the updates to the article! I noticed I added a version of the tables without references; sorry about that. I transferred the references to the tables. What do you think? The tables have the same information as the current section; I just cleaned up the formatting. Regarding the history section, I can begin collecting references for a conceptual update outline.--Chefmikesf (talk) 23:41, 27 December 2022 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the review and update, let me take another look. - Indefensible (talk) 21:09, 28 December 2022 (UTC)
 * Hi Indefensible, did you have a chance to review the update? --Chefmikesf (talk) 19:13, 20 January 2023 (UTC)
 * Sorry, have not been as active on Wiki recently, let me take a look again... - Indefensible (talk) 02:08, 23 January 2023 (UTC)
 * I can reformat the acquisitions & divestitures into a table, but more concerned about the sections with orange quality banners like on the F-16. - Indefensible (talk) 01:04, 4 February 2023 (UTC)
 * @Indefensible Thanks for the help. Would you like me to add the reformatted tables? I agree those sections, including F-16, need a quality update. I'm open to working on those sections after collecting enough sources.-- Chefmikesf (talk) 20:40, 13 February 2023 (UTC)
