Prose/structure/detail

Reads well, hardly changed a thing in my copyedit.
I think you could reconsider the necessity of some links, e.g. photographer, camera, newspaper, etc, but not a showstopper.

Referencing

Links for the following footnotes seem to be dead or dying:
- 1
- 8
- 11
- 13
- 14
Re. FN11, not sure we're encouraged to use blogs but as I can't access the site I don't know just what it looks like.

Images

All licensing checks out.
Format-wise, there is a fair bit of sandwiching from all the pictures so I wonder if shifting a few to a gallery at the end might be better, but again not a showstopper.

Summary -- really enjoyed this one, I guess loving photography as well as history helps... ;-) Cheers, Ian Rose (talk) 06:21, 29 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I have cut back the necessary links, and removed a couple of duplicates. I would have repaired the link rot early if I had known the article would be reviewed so soon. The links in sports articles have a half-life of just a few months, so they usually decay waiting in the queue. I submitted this one as a MilHist article because I couldn't see an obvious slot for a photographer, so of course it gets reviewed straight away. Anyhow, the sports articles give good practice, I have have repaired them all straight away. Moved some of the images into a gallery to reduce the clutter (and added two more).

- Okay, the links all work and I think the layout is much improved with some images moved to a gallery. Just one last thing, has Children of the Manhattan Project considered a reliable source for other articles? I didn't spot the editorial policy and it just looked a bit amateurish/enthusiast...

  I've replaced it with other sources. Hawkeye7 (talk) 21:17, 30 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  Changes look good (I might've said known for "Manhattan Project photography" instead of just "Manhattan Project" but will leave to you) -- passing as GA. Cheers, Ian Rose (talk) 03:01, 1 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
