Will take this one. Regards, Krishna Chaitanya Velaga (talk &bull;&#32;mail) 10:54, 19 December 2017 (UTC)


 * Lead and infobox;
 * Please introduce "Rudolf Peierls and Otto Robert Frisch"; nationality and profession.
 * ✅ Noted that they were refugee physicists. Nationality is tricky; Peierls was German, but a naturalised British citizen; Frisch was Austrian, but not yet nationalised.  Hawkeye7   (discuss)  20:31, 24 December 2017 (UTC)
 * the potential military feasibility a nuclear bomb; I cant't get the flow I think you've missed something before "a nuclear bomb"
 * ✅ Added missing "of".  Hawkeye7   (discuss)  20:31, 24 December 2017 (UTC)
 * "Use of Uranium for a Bomb" and "Use of Uranium as a source of power"; "B" in bomb is to be de-capitalized, or put on initial capitals for "source of power"
 * While I agree that the capitalisation makes no sense, that's the way it appears in the actual titles.    Hawkeye7   (discuss)  20:31, 24 December 2017 (UTC)
 * Why was it called MAUD Committee? What is the abbreviation of MAUD?
 * ✅ Added to the lead.  Hawkeye7   (discuss)  20:31, 24 December 2017 (UTC)
 * Can infobox be added?
 * Which one do you have in mind?  Hawkeye7   (discuss)  20:31, 24 December 2017 (UTC)


 * Section 1;
 * Link Rome
 * ✅ Linked.  Hawkeye7   (discuss)  20:31, 24 December 2017 (UTC)
 * John A.Wheeler -> John A. Wheeler
 * ✅ Done. Hawkeye7   (discuss)  20:31, 24 December 2017 (UTC)
 * if he were was able
 * ✅ Corrected. Hawkeye7   (discuss)  20:31, 24 December 2017 (UTC)
 * Use conversion template for "5 kilogram" "one kilogram"
 * Normally a precious metal would be converted into troy ounces, but the Imperial/US customary unit for fissile materials is kilograms.  Hawkeye7   (discuss)  20:31, 24 December 2017 (UTC)
 * Frisch and Peierls produced the Frisch–Peierls memorandum in March 1940; please brief of the contents in a line or two
 * "They reported that a five kilogram bomb would be the equivalent to several thousand tons of dynamite, and even a one kilogram bomb would be impressive. Because of the potential radioactive fallout, they thought that the British might find it morally unacceptable."  Hawkeye7   (discuss)  20:31, 24 December 2017 (UTC)
 * More to come. Regards, Krishna Chaitanya Velaga (talk &bull;&#32;mail) 08:36, 24 December 2017 (UTC)


 * Section 2;
 * A Committee was created; Why is "C" capitalized?
 * ✅ No good reason. De-capitalised.  Hawkeye7   (discuss)
 * It held its first meeting on 10 April 1940 -> The first meeting was held on 10 April 1940
 * Why use the passive? People usually want me to remove it, not put it in.  Hawkeye7   (discuss)  04:10, 31 December 2017 (UTC)
 * in the ground floor main committee room; Do you think that this detail is necessary?
 * Yes; it is remarked on in many accounts. Someone doing a tour can view the actual place.  Hawkeye7   (discuss)  04:10, 31 December 2017 (UTC)
 * y with an i -> "y" with an "i"; to make it clear
 * ✅ Done.  Hawkeye7   (discuss)  04:10, 31 December 2017 (UTC)
 * British born scientist; I think it is to be "scientists"
 * ✅ Corrected.  Hawkeye7   (discuss)  04:10, 31 December 2017 (UTC)
 * Its meeting were; "meetings" or "meeting was"?
 * ✅ Corrected.  Hawkeye7   (discuss)  04:10, 31 December 2017 (UTC)
 * Regards, Krishna Chaitanya Velaga (talk &bull;&#32;mail) 03:39, 31 December 2017 (UTC)


 * Section 3; Very-well written
 * The "That" was based on the fact
 * ✅ Corrected.  Hawkeye7   (discuss)  20:10, 1 January 2018 (UTC)
 * Section 4;
 * conversion for 1,800 tons
 * This is part of a quote, so I don't want to do that.  Hawkeye7   (discuss)  20:10, 1 January 2018 (UTC)
 * conversion for 1 kg
 * Again, there is no conversion for fissile materials.  Hawkeye7   (discuss)  20:10, 1 January 2018 (UTC)
 * Regards, Krishna Chaitanya Velaga (talk &bull;&#32;mail) 04:07, 31 December 2017 (UTC)

 * 25 million dollars -? US$25 million
 * Again, it is part of a quote, so I don't want to change it.  Hawkeye7   (discuss)  20:10, 1 January 2018 (UTC)
 * The official exchange rate was $4.03 = £1, so about £6 million.  Hawkeye7   (discuss)  20:17, 1 January 2018 (UTC)
 * Britain did not have the money or the manpower -> Britain neither had the money nor the manpower; please ignore if the bit was said by Allison
 * Part of a quote.  Hawkeye7   (discuss)  20:10, 1 January 2018 (UTC)

 * ✅ Unlinked.  Hawkeye7   (discuss)  20:10, 1 January 2018 (UTC)
 * 58.1% confidence, violation likely. But I understand that it is mainly due to the quotation, so no issues.
