Is it reasonably well written?
A. Prose: clear and concise, correct spelling and grammar:
Copy edit revealed no major concerns with the prose.

B. Complies with MoS for lead, layout, words to watch, fiction, and list incorporation:
The lead is a bit too short given the size of the article. My suggestions: incorporate a bit of material on his supervision of the Manhattan Project and/or mention his awards. The other MoS criterion are met.

A. Provides references to all sources:
Article has sources for all content, all verifiable.

B. Provides in-line citations from reliable sources where necessary:
Sources are high quality books and periodicals. Spot checks reveal no copyright violations or too-close paraphrasing. Citation bot, Checklinks, and Reflinks found no issues. No technical errors were spotted in the referencing mark-up.

C. No original research:
Is it broad in its coverage?
A. Main aspects are addressed:
We could use a bit of general info on why they went to Tinian please.

B. Remains focused:
Does it follow the neutral point of view policy?
Fair representation without bias:
Is it stable?
No edit wars, etc:
Does it contain images to illustrate the topic?
A. Images are copyright tagged, and non-free images have fair use rationales:

B. Images are provided where possible and appropriate, with suitable captions:
Overall:
Pass or Fail:

Hi Hawkeye! A nice article that only needs a couple things for a pass. The article has been placed on hold for one week. -- Diannaa (talk) 18:18, 1 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I've expanded the introduction, and the section on the Manhattan Project. Hawkeye7 (talk) 21:40, 1 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
