A few comments from me: That's me done, placing on hold for the above to be addressed. Cheers, Peacemaker67 (click to talk to me) 08:35, 15 September 2018 (UTC)
 * the lead could do with expansion to properly summarise the article
 * ✅ Added a bit. Let me know if there is something more that you think should be covered in the lead.  Hawkeye7   (discuss)  22:27, 15 September 2018 (UTC)
 * in the lead, the statement about the claim doesn't really reflect what occurred. Would it be better to flesh it out a bit more and state that the claim remains unsubstantiated?
 * ✅ Changed to your wording. The main issue was to prevent the Wikipedia being a vector for misinformation.  Hawkeye7   (discuss)  22:27, 15 September 2018 (UTC)
 * not sure how Operation Hurricane fell short on the "independence" count? Surely it meant that the UK had an independent nuclear strike capability?
 * ✅ Because for the time being the UK was still reliant on the US deterrent. Deleted the sentence to tighten the prose.  Hawkeye7   (discuss)  09:37, 15 September 2018 (UTC)
 * "produced release neutrons" Is a release neutron a thing, or is this a typo?
 * ✅ Typo. Changed to "produced"  Hawkeye7   (discuss)  09:37, 15 September 2018 (UTC)
 * "and one with a tamper to investigate its effect" what sort of tamper?
 * ✅ Uranium-28. Added.  Hawkeye7   (discuss)  09:37, 15 September 2018 (UTC)
 * why was Emu Field considered unsuitable for these tests?
 * ✅ Added a bit about this.  Hawkeye7   (discuss)  11:30, 15 September 2018 (UTC)
 * mention that Hurricane had been at Monte Bello? And explain why they were chosen?
 * ✅ Added.  Hawkeye7   (discuss)  11:30, 15 September 2018 (UTC)
 * But wasn't Hurricane a 25 KT yield? Why did the British understate the yield? Is this known?
 * ✅ Lost the reference where to rounding was mentioned, so omitted. Added a clarification that the yield was not known in Australia.  Hawkeye7   (discuss)  12:59, 15 September 2018 (UTC)
 * I assume Atomic Weapons Tests Safety Committee was Australian? Perhaps clarify this?
 * Yes. Added a bit.  Hawkeye7   (discuss)  12:59, 15 September 2018 (UTC)
 * frigate is duplinked
 * ✅ Unlinked.  Hawkeye7   (discuss)  12:59, 15 September 2018 (UTC)
 * What was the purpose of TG 308.3?
 * ✅ Weather reporting. Added.  Hawkeye7   (discuss)  12:59, 15 September 2018 (UTC)
 * link Westland Whirlwind (helicopter)
 * Already linked.  Hawkeye7   (discuss)  12:59, 15 September 2018 (UTC)
 * say where the Parting Pool was
 * ✅ Added "in the Monte Bello Islands. I did mark it on the map.  Hawkeye7   (discuss)  12:59, 15 September 2018 (UTC)
 * what were the suitable weather conditions required for G2? They obviously differed from G1
 * Added a bit about the weather conditions.  Hawkeye7   (discuss)  22:27, 15 September 2018 (UTC)
 * what 15 July deadline?
 * ✅ added a bit.  Hawkeye7   (discuss)  12:59, 15 September 2018 (UTC)
 * was Smith ever interviewed about her claims in the book? What did the Royal Commission say?
 * No. The Royal Commission gives the yield as 56 kt. (p. 248)   Hawkeye7   (discuss)  12:59, 15 September 2018 (UTC)
 * is there any explanation as to why the clouds rose so much higher than expected in both tests?
 * "unexpectedly high yield or because the arithmetical values of the parameters used in the computations did not completely fit the conditions of firing". The Royal Commission says: "either way, somebody got it wrong". 12:59, 15 September 2018 (UTC)
 * is there a benchmark that can be applied to the REM dose? In terms of what is normal or what is likely to result in detrimental effects?
 * ✅ The general recommendation is that it should not exceed 50 mSv per year. I don't like adding this sort of thing because it brings us into conflict with WP:MED.    Hawkeye7   (discuss)  12:59, 15 September 2018 (UTC)
 * link Radioactive decay
 * ✅ Linked.  Hawkeye7   (discuss)  12:59, 15 September 2018 (UTC)
 * in the summary table, the Notes column is a bit inconsistent, Boosted fission weapon vs Boosted design, and no tamper mentioned for G1
 * Made the table entries more consistent   Hawkeye7   (discuss)  12:59, 15 September 2018 (UTC)
 * Boyes needs a location
 * ✅ Added.  Hawkeye7   (discuss)  12:59, 15 September 2018 (UTC)

 * ✅ Added.  Hawkeye7   (discuss)  12:59, 15 September 2018 (UTC)
 * the US PD tag for File:HMAS Karangi.jpg needs a date of publication
