Talk:Department of Miscellaneous Weapons Development

This article concerns a specific department of the historical United Kingdom's Ministry of Defense. The article does not make this plain, and does not contextualize the material in its proper historical context.

It should also likely be included in the Naval History of the United Kingdom portal umbrella. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.101.198.251 (talk) 00:15, 22 August 2009 (UTC)

I don't know if these changes are factually correct.

Technically, they have some problems.


 * links are not used (eg. Barnes Wallis)
 * references are done improperly. Currently, (1)(5) oddly sits after a mention of Jeans.  This was originally introduced as a (malformed) reference, but most has been edited out.
 * changed proper references into malformed ones
 * removed the useful explanation of what Persil means

I hesitate to fix the technical problems because that might mask any factual problems. DHR (talk) 15:56, 4 September 2013 (UTC)
