  • ... that the Royal Air Force thought that Green Garlic was very good indeed? Source: this is the code name for the radar, found in Gough.

  • long enough, within policy, well-sourced. Hook is short enough and very interesting. Very impressive article. L293D (☎ • ✎) 03:22, 5 December 2018 (UTC)

Sorry @L293D:, would you mind reviewing the image as well? Maury Markowitz (talk) 20:00, 6 December 2018 (UTC)

  • Hi @Maury Markowitz: I can verify that the image is freely licensed and appears in the article. But why do you want to spoil the mystery in the hook by showing what you're talking about? Yoninah (talk) 20:03, 6 December 2018 (UTC)
Hmmm, you have a point. Do you think we should leave it out? I'm good either way. Maury Markowitz (talk) 20:26, 6 December 2018 (UTC)
Yes, leave it out. It'll be a great quirky. Yoninah (talk) 20:28, 6 December 2018 (UTC)
OK, sorry @L293D:, ignore that last request. Maury Markowitz (talk) 20:34, 6 December 2018 (UTC)

  • @Maury Markowitz: I came by to promote this, but we need a cite for the nickname Green Garlic, ideally in the lead. Thanks, Yoninah (talk) 19:50, 10 December 2018 (UTC)
Already there in the body. Note b. Maury Markowitz (talk) 19:57, 10 December 2018 (UTC)
I mean a source, not a note written by you. Yoninah (talk) 20:07, 10 December 2018 (UTC)
It is, it's Gough, page F-7. Also on page 124 and 128, which are also cited. Maury Markowitz (talk) 20:10, 10 December 2018 (UTC)
  • Sigh. I did the work for you. Yoninah (talk) 20:30, 10 December 2018 (UTC)
