Brilliant Pebbles
[edit]
Brilliant Pebble in orbit
- ... that after dismissing the basic concept as "outlandish", Edward Teller later supported Brilliant Pebbles (pictured) as a way to shoot down Soviet ICBMs?
Created by Maury Markowitz (talk). Self-nominated at 20:20, 27 November 2017 (UTC).
New enough (5x expansion began 35 edits ago on 27 November 2017), long enough (35,275 characters "readable prose size"). Fully referenced. Hook fine, supported by online reference. (St Edward, the patron saint of mad scientists) QPQ not done. Image fine, has appropriate licence. Hawkeye7 (discuss) 08:44, 28 November 2017 (UTC)
- COMMENT: ISBN should be added to Bibliography entries of books. IMO, too many photos. Can the politicians be left out? And the article feels too long. It would be improved if the creator trimmed it by 5-10%. David notMD (talk) 12:40, 28 November 2017 (UTC)
- I've made several edits and removed some photos, but these aren't really DYK issues, more talk page. Maury Markowitz (talk) 02:20, 8 December 2017 (UTC)
