Voting period ends on 17 Jul 2011 at 22:14:05 (UTC)


 * Reason:
 * Encyclopedic value: critical chemical engineering advance for the first atom bomb, process still used today for uranium refining.
 * Composition: left-right process flow and use of pictures vice words to communicate to non-chemists.
 * Outreach: Director, Public Affairs, Ames donated larger images and clarified copyright


 * Articles in which this image appears: Manhattan Project, Ames process


 * FP category for this image: Featured pictures/History/World War II (could also be material science or engineering)


 * Creator:unknown government photographer, TCO (upload and layout)

 * Comment: Great work on getting hold of bigger copies. However, we aren't in the habit of promoting .tif files- we'd need to see them converted to jpg. J Milburn (talk) 00:23, 9 July 2011 (UTC)
 * Files converted. Also some improvement of rotation and crop done on the images.  (Since no one had voted, just changed the original.)TCO (reviews needed)  03:49, 9 July 2011 (UTC)
 * OTRS note: Pursuant to the three images are confirmed as public domain. &mdash; Cirt (talk) 02:11, 9 July 2011 (UTC)

 * Thanks, uber-vet. I feel that the caption for the first image needs a little skinnying somehow.TCO (reviews needed)  23:41, 9 July 2011 (UTC)


 * Support. Nice, I suppose there are no colour ones?, 1945 b/w then. Regards, SunCreator (talk) 18:41, 10 July 2011 (UTC)
 * Support. Ticks all the boxes, nice to have a sequence of images, solid ev. What's the plan for this as a FP, each image separately or combined as one file? Fallschirmjäger &#9993; 21:20, 10 July 2011 (UTC)
 * It's the assembly. I don't think they are as compelling as individual shots.  To me, its the implicit process flow diagram, where you can really see. them.  make. uranium!
 * They'll be promoted as a set. They'll all go in the gallery, but only one of them will hit the main page. J Milburn (talk) 21:09, 11 July 2011 (UTC)
 * That's a great idea, 'preciate! Would be curious which of the three you would choose?


 * P.s. I thought about doing some table or collage or even having block arrow and plus sign, but the default gallery (which I usually hate) works pretty decent here. Am re-using same layout method in the "Occurence" section of Fluorine". TCO (reviews needed) 00:41, 12 July 2011 (UTC)
