Will take this one. Regards, Krishna Chaitanya Velaga (talk • mail) 10:54, 19 December 2017 (UTC)
- Lead and infobox;
- Please introduce "Rudolf Peierls and Otto Robert Frisch"; nationality and profession.
- Noted that they were refugee physicists. Nationality is tricky; Peierls was German, but a naturalised British citizen; Frisch was Austrian, but not yet nationalised. Hawkeye7 (discuss) 20:31, 24 December 2017 (UTC)
- the potential military feasibility a nuclear bomb; I cant't get the flow I think you've missed something before "a nuclear bomb"
- Added missing "of". Hawkeye7 (discuss) 20:31, 24 December 2017 (UTC)
- "Use of Uranium for a Bomb" and "Use of Uranium as a source of power"; "B" in bomb is to be de-capitalized, or put on initial capitals for "source of power"
- While I agree that the capitalisation makes no sense, that's the way it appears in the actual titles. [1][2] Hawkeye7 (discuss) 20:31, 24 December 2017 (UTC)
- Why was it called MAUD Committee? What is the abbreviation of MAUD?
- Added to the lead. Hawkeye7 (discuss) 20:31, 24 December 2017 (UTC)
- Can infobox be added?
- Which one do you have in mind? Hawkeye7 (discuss) 20:31, 24 December 2017 (UTC)
- Please introduce "Rudolf Peierls and Otto Robert Frisch"; nationality and profession.
- Section 1;
- Link Rome
- John A.Wheeler -> John A. Wheeler
- if he
werewas able- Corrected. Hawkeye7 (discuss) 20:31, 24 December 2017 (UTC)
- Use conversion template for "5 kilogram" "one kilogram"
- Normally a precious metal would be converted into troy ounces, but the Imperial/US customary unit for fissile materials is kilograms. Hawkeye7 (discuss) 20:31, 24 December 2017 (UTC)
- Frisch and Peierls produced the Frisch–Peierls memorandum in March 1940; please brief of the contents in a line or two
- "They reported that a five kilogram bomb would be the equivalent to several thousand tons of dynamite, and even a one kilogram bomb would be impressive. Because of the potential radioactive fallout, they thought that the British might find it morally unacceptable." Hawkeye7 (discuss) 20:31, 24 December 2017 (UTC)
- More to come. Regards, Krishna Chaitanya Velaga (talk • mail) 08:36, 24 December 2017 (UTC)
- Section 2;
- A Committee was created; Why is "C" capitalized?
- It held its first meeting on 10 April 1940 -> The first meeting was held on 10 April 1940
- Why use the passive? People usually want me to remove it, not put it in. Hawkeye7 (discuss) 04:10, 31 December 2017 (UTC)
- in the ground floor main committee room; Do you think that this detail is necessary?
- Yes; it is remarked on in many accounts. Someone doing a tour can view the actual place. Hawkeye7 (discuss) 04:10, 31 December 2017 (UTC)
- y with an i -> "y" with an "i"; to make it clear
- British born scientist; I think it is to be "scientists"
- Corrected. Hawkeye7 (discuss) 04:10, 31 December 2017 (UTC)
- Its meeting were; "meetings" or "meeting was"?
- Corrected. Hawkeye7 (discuss) 04:10, 31 December 2017 (UTC)
- Regards, Krishna Chaitanya Velaga (talk • mail) 03:39, 31 December 2017 (UTC)
- Section 3; Very-well written
The"That" was based on the fact- Corrected. Hawkeye7 (discuss) 20:10, 1 January 2018 (UTC)
- Section 4;
- conversion for 1,800 tons
- This is part of a quote, so I don't want to do that. Hawkeye7 (discuss) 20:10, 1 January 2018 (UTC)
- conversion for 1 kg
- Again, there is no conversion for fissile materials. Hawkeye7 (discuss) 20:10, 1 January 2018 (UTC)
- conversion for 1,800 tons
- Regards, Krishna Chaitanya Velaga (talk • mail) 04:07, 31 December 2017 (UTC)
- Section 5;
- to the president; isn't capital needed for "p"?
- His report was issued "on" 17 May 1941
a talentedan experimentalist- 25 million dollars -? US$25 million
- Again, it is part of a quote, so I don't want to change it. Hawkeye7 (discuss) 20:10, 1 January 2018 (UTC)
- The official exchange rate was $4.03 = £1, so about £6 million. Hawkeye7 (discuss) 20:17, 1 January 2018 (UTC)
- Again, it is part of a quote, so I don't want to change it. Hawkeye7 (discuss) 20:10, 1 January 2018 (UTC)
- Britain did not have the money or the manpower -> Britain neither had the money nor the manpower; please ignore if the bit was said by Allison
- Part of a quote. Hawkeye7 (discuss) 20:10, 1 January 2018 (UTC)
- Link "James B. Conant"; James Bryant Conant
- its atomic spies
KlausFuchs; lastname - Lavrenty Beria's report to Stalin of March 1942; Mention "Stalin" in full, and link, as it is the first mention
- with the deliberately misleading name of Tube Alloys; to mislead who, the enemies, or for security purposes?
- For security purposes, Added. Hawkeye7 (discuss) 20:10, 1 January 2018 (UTC)
- "Imperial Chemical Industries"; already defined in the last para of section 2
- Unlinked. Hawkeye7 (discuss) 20:10, 1 January 2018 (UTC)
- 58.1% confidence, violation likely. But I understand that it is mainly due to the quotation, so no issues.
- Images; Create proper sections for description and licensing of
