• "Operation Sandstone was the third American a series of nuclear weapon tests carried out at Enewetak Atoll at the Pacific Proving Grounds in 1948. They were the third American series of test, followed following Crossroads and preceded preceding Ranger. They were carried out at Enewetak Atoll at the Pacific Proving Grounds, and. They differed greatly" It's up to you if you want to change it; it's only a suggestion.
• just wondering, isn't "series" a collective noun, in which case it is considered singular? The para starts off with "Operation Sandstone was the third American series of nuclear weapon tests in 1948", but the next sentence reads "They [which refers to the tests themselves] followed..."
• I see caps "Nuclear Weapons" and "Implosion-type"
• "T Division" and "J-Division" who are they?
• where are some of the Imperial units?
• "25 curies (a measurement of radioactivity) of polonium"

1. Re-worded the lead.
2. Consistently referred to the tests in such a way as to always be plural.
3. De-capitated.
4. Added explanations of the two divisions of LANL. There were many more of course.
5. Had not thought about imperial. Everything was conducted in metric back in 1948. Added some conversion templates.
6. Linked curies.

Second Opinion

So what do you want a second opinion on? Jezhotwells (talk) 19:59, 28 September 2011 (UTC)

I've inspected the article and found no obvious problems. I'd just like the same assurance from others who might have more critical eyes. Sp33dyphil ^{"Ad astra"} 22:35, 28 September 2011 (UTC)

• Guess I'm the second opinion. For the table in the lead, if there are no notes then there shouldn't be a notes field. Images seem fine, references seem fine. Crisco 1492 (talk) 14:01, 3 October 2011 (UTC)
  • Could you close the review then? Hawkeye7 (talk) 01:09, 9 October 2011 (UTC)

Could you please move the pic (File:Sandstone HO3S.jpg) under "Ships" to below {{Multicol-break}}? There seems to be a big blank gap between the list and the pic. Sp33dyphil ^{"Ad astra"} 01:31, 9 October 2011 (UTC)
