DYK for John Coster-Mullen

edit

On 11 June 2021, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article John Coster-Mullen, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that John Coster-Mullen discovered that the Little Boy was actually a girl? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/John Coster-Mullen. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, John Coster-Mullen), and if they received a combined total of at least 416.7 views per hour (i.e., 5,000 views in 12 hours or 10,000 in 24), the hook may be added to the statistics page. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

Starling (nuclear primary) moved to draftspace

edit

An article you recently created, Starling (nuclear primary), is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.

While I don't agree with the move, adding page numbers would likely be easier than arguing about it.Kylesenior (talk) 02:24, 15 September 2021 (UTC)Reply

I may do neither! :-) (I am pretty busy at the moment, and worrying about meeting the inconsistent standards applied to Wikipedia articles is not high on my level of priorities right now.) --NuclearSecrets (talk) 02:37, 15 September 2021 (UTC)Reply
Ah, fair enough. Kylesenior (talk) 01:14, 16 September 2021 (UTC)Reply

Sorry I didn't loop you in, but "inviting" people for votes is normally frowned on. Cheers Kylesenior (talk) 12:32, 2 November 2021 (UTC)Reply

I didn't realize you had edited the some nuclide symbols.

edit

Hi NuclearSecrets. I just had a bunch of edits that I made to nuclide symbols in the Nuclear weapon design article reverted by VQuakr. I then found out that I'd accidentally been undoing his reversions, and eventually that I had probably undone some of yours. I didn't think to check the revision history page of the article before starting to go through the first quarter or so of the article with control F, typing in IUPAC names to replace the nuclide symbol templates that were used in prose. I am very new to Wikipedia. It seems I misread your posts and those of VQuakr as a green light, or at least an amber one. Polar Apposite (talk) 20:05, 24 August 2023 (UTC)Reply

The missing volume

edit

The published set of 36 books of the Manhattan District History seems to be missing a volume. They released the secret appendix to Volume VI, but not the volume itself. It does exist though; it was reproduced in The Secret History. Hawkeye7 (discuss) 00:08, 23 March 2024 (UTC)Reply

Right, the Liquid Thermal Diffusion volume. I have a copy of it from the 1977 microfilm Manhattan Project Official History and Documents. At some point I will update my blog posting; I have also made updated versions of several of the other volumes that restores some of the excised materials from other sources. --NuclearSecrets (talk) 11:10, 24 March 2024 (UTC)Reply
That would be awesome. Hawkeye7 (discuss) 18:16, 24 March 2024 (UTC)Reply
