Created by Maury Markowitz (talk). Self-nominated at 16:18, 18 May 2023 (UTC). Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/Night Watchman (radar); consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.
Hi Maury Markowitz (talk), review follows: article created 18 May and exceeds minimum length; article is well written and cited inline to reliable sources throughout; I don't have access to any of the sources but happy to AGF there is no overly close paraphrasing of them; hook fact is interesting and mentioned in the article, will have to AGF that the cited source supports it. One minor point, the pulsewidth stated in the infobox is not mentioned in the main text and so could do with a citation. Let me know when you have completed a QPQ - Dumelow (talk) 12:04, 19 May 2023 (UTC)

- @Maury Markowitz and Dumelow: Having trouble confirming the hook in the source. I do not read there that it was the first operational radar outside Europe. Bruxton (talk) 01:43, 11 June 2023 (UTC)
- That page on Google Books is not viewable for me so I AGFed on the sourcing. Maury, can you check your citation? - Dumelow (talk) 08:06, 11 June 2023 (UTC)
- I no longer have the NRC document (it timed out). I have changed it to Merklinger p 103 instead, which is visible online. Maury Markowitz (talk) 17:52, 11 June 2023 (UTC)
