 * Symbol question.svg Recently GA promoted, other one is new enough, and QPQ also done. The problem here is that I can't find the hook well cited or mentioned in the given source. -- Captain Assassin! «T ♦ C ♦ G» 10:47, 22 December 2014 (UTC)
 * There are two parts. The second part, about the pit of the Trimity device is in the Commemorative brochure McDonald ranch house, where the plutonium core to the bomb was assembled., which is Footnote 8 in the Niles Fulwyler article. The MacDonald Ranch house uses an offline source for this, as it goes into more detail. Fulwyler's role is described in Footnote 1 Because of his influence the Departments of Army and Energy funded a restoration of the McDonald ranch house at Trinity Site to its 1945 condition. and Footnote 7 Fulwyler is also credited with influencing the Department of Army and Energy funded restoration of the McDonald ranch house at Trinity Site to its 1945 condition.  I've added these to the McDonald Ranch House article, although they are also covered by the video in footnote 4. Hawkeye7 (talk) 19:50, 22 December 2014 (UTC)


 * Symbol redirect vote 4.svg Full review needed of both articles (only "newness" checked), including the hook. BlueMoonset (talk) 02:57, 2 January 2015 (UTC)


 * Symbol confirmed.svg These two articles qualify for DYK under the newness and length criteria. The image is appropriately licensed and the facts in the hook have inline citations. The articles are neutral and I detected no copyright/close paraphrasing problems. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 06:26, 7 January 2015 (UTC)
