Image review
- File:George_Paget_Thomson.jpg needs a US PD tag. Same with File:Appleton.jpg
- File:John_Anderson,_1st_Viscount_Waverley_1947.jpg: not seeing that that specific photo is under that license?
- It says that all the photographs are all under CC-BY-SA 4.0 Hawkeye7 (talk) 22:45, 22 April 2017 (UTC)
- Sorry, where are you seeing that? This page doesn't give a license for that image, whereas this one (or the Google Translate version thereof) says that only 38% of all digitized images have that license. Nikkimaria (talk) 00:53, 23 April 2017 (UTC)
- Hmmm. It appears that the image is by Yousuf Karsh, and was taken in 1943. I don't know if/when copyrights expire in Canada; in Australia it would be expired. I'll assume that copyrights do not expire in Canada, and have removed the image. Hawkeye7 (talk) 03:10, 25 April 2017 (UTC)

- File:NRX_Pile_Building_and_ZEEP_Building-_Cooling_Tanks_1945.jpg: when/where was this first published? Same with File:Niels_Bohr_1935.jpg. Nikkimaria (talk) 15:22, 22 April 2017 (UTC)
- Somewhere between 1945 and 1961. I have a book from 1961; but Google n-grams says I should be looking for one published in 1957. How early do we need? In Australia the de jure answer would be 1946, the year the image was deposited in the archive; this may be the case in Canada too. Hawkeye7 (talk) 22:45, 22 April 2017 (UTC)
- For the first one, we actually only need a pre-1978 publication; PD-Canada allows for copyright expiration for creation-only pre-1946 for photos. The second is trickier - what US PD tag should be applied? Nikkimaria (talk) 00:53, 23 April 2017 (UTC)

- Support. I reviewed at A Class and was impressed by the piece then. A further reading, with the FA criteria in mind, confirms that for me this fulfils the FA requirements. All the best, - The Bounder (talk) 10:36, 25 April 2017 (UTC)
- Support (subject to resolution of the remaining issues with the images). I have read Ronald W Clark's book and this article augments it well with what we have learnt since his book was published in 1961. A superb article, well done. Graham Beards (talk) 09:32, 28 April 2017 (UTC)
Current note 18 - Martin, Roy - needs a publisher- What makes http://blog.nuclearsecrecy.com a high quality reliable source? It's a blog...
What makes http://www.atomicarchive.com/Company/Company.shtml a high quality reliable source?- What makes https://wikileaks.org/wiki/How_Britain_got_the_bomb#Penney_and_the_Start_of_the_Post-War_British_Atomic_Bomb_Program a high quality reliable source? Wikileaks? REALLY?
- Earwig's tool shows no sign of copyright violation.
- Support with minor comments:
- "This prompted the United Kingdom to (re)launch its own project" - (re)launch felt a bit awkward here
- "codename Operation Hurricane" - I don't think the italics are right here; later on, it is simply "Operation Hurricane", and I don't think we normally italicise op names?
- " French Secret Service" - could we link to the relevant article?
