I'll review this article shortly - this only makes sense after the Little Boy review.--Tomobe03 (talk) 11:26, 10 October 2013 (UTC)

• Images:

What is the source used for Fat Man External.svg image?

Y Added this. I've never seen one before that tried to source itself. Cute. Hawkeye7 (talk) 12:15, 12 October 2013 (UTC)

All image licencing and captions are fine (including fair-use rationale for one) (no action required)

• Prose referencing appears in order (no action required)
• Some instances of Thin Man, Fat Man and Little Boy are given in quotation marks and other are not - perhaps it would be the best to make use of quotation marks (or lack thereof) consistent throughout the article

  Y Fixed this. Only the first use is in quotation marks. Hawkeye7 (talk) 12:15, 12 October 2013 (UTC)

• According to Hansen the bomb was constrained to a maximum length of 8 to 10 feet (2.4 to 3.0 m), width of 66 inches (1,700 mm) and weight of 6,000 pounds (2,700 kg) in order to fit into a B-29 bomb bay. Also accroding to Hansen, the bomb was 128 inches (3,300 mm) long, 60 inches (1,500 mm) in diameter, and weighed 10,300 pounds (4,700 kg). This makes Silverplate modifications encompass accommodation of not only heavier payload but also longer weapons. At present the article specifies weigth-related modification only (assuming the figures are correct).

  I have re-read the source, and have corrected the text to read: For logistic and nationalistic reasons, the B-29 was preferred, but this constrained the bomb to a maximum length of 132 inches (3,400 mm), width of 60 inches (1,500 mm) and weight of 20,000 pounds (9,100 kg). Removing the bomb rails allowed a maximum width of 66 inches (1,700 mm). Hawkeye7 (talk) 19:45, 12 October 2013 (UTC)

  Good to go then! Nice work!--Tomobe03 (talk) 21:18, 12 October 2013 (UTC)

Great article! I see you have already addressed almost every issue above, and only one thing stands in the way of GA pass. --Tomobe03 (talk) 12:29, 12 October 2013 (UTC)
