K-25

 * Nominator(s): Hawkeye7 (talk)

Next in the series of articles on the Manhattan Project facilities Hawkeye7 (talk) 01:53, 21 August 2016 (UTC)

Support: not a lot stood out to me. I made a few minor edits and have the following suggestions: AustralianRupert (talk) 07:50, 10 September 2016 (UTC)
 * "File:K-25 (7609929206).jpg": the date parameter on the image description page should be the date the image was created, not uploaded;
 * "File:HD.30.359. (10427116025).jpg": same as above
 * "File:HD.30.360. (10427116085).jpg": as above
 * "File:HD.30.375. (10427417193).jpg": as above
 * "File:HD.30.374. (10427415313).jpg": as above
 * "File:S50plant.jpg": needs a date
 * ✅ Added approximate dates. Hawkeye7 (talk) 09:34, 10 September 2016 (UTC)
 * I wonder if potentially the article should be titled "K-25 project" - not a warstoper, just a musing. Thanks for your efforts. Regards, AustralianRupert (talk) 07:50, 10 September 2016 (UTC)
 * The name K-25 went through a kind of linguistic drift, referring at various times to the product, the project, the facility, the site and the building. The article covers them all. Hawkeye7 (talk) 09:34, 10 September 2016 (UTC)


 * Support - a few minor cmts:
 * All tool checks look fine (i.e. external links work, no dabs, no duplicate links, no issues with ref consolidation, Earwig tool reveals no issues with close paraphrase etc etc.)
 * Minor inconsistency in presentation of percentages, see "that the 1% difference in molecular weights" vs "to enrich to 90 percent" (see MOS:PERCENT). ✅
 * "Chemical researchers at the SAM Laboratories studied the fluorocarbons..." Should this be "...Chemical researchers at the SAM Laboratories studied fluorocarbons..." instead? ✅
 * "...recommended that the K-25 plant would be operated by Union Carbide...", perhaps more simply just: "...recommended that the K-25 plant be operated by Union Carbide..." (suggestion only) ✅
 * "...Since then demolition work has been carried out by DOE's..." I'm assuming DOE is Department of Energy? This abbrev probably needs to be introduced as I couldn't see it anyway prior to this sentence. ✅
 * Slightly repetitive wording here: "...Complete demolition of the K-25 facility was expected to be completed..." (complete and completed - perhaps reword?). ✅
 * All points addressed. Hawkeye7 (talk) 04:03, 2 November 2016 (UTC)
 * Support with no edits or amendments LavaBaron (talk) 01:57, 2 November 2016 (UTC)
