I'll get to this shortly.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 01:56, 23 December 2015 (UTC)

No DABs, external links OK

• Might be nice to have a picture of Stagg Field to match the one of Pupin Hall. Also a picture of the Henry Moore sculpture would be in order to match the boulder. Especially since I've been there ;-) Definitely like the photos of the pile under construction.

  Y Added a pic of Stagg field and the commemorative plaque. The problem with the Henry Moore sculpture is one of copyright, even though the images were taken by Wikipedians or US government employees. The Henry Moore article has lots of beautiful images of his sculptures taken in countries where they are have freedom of panorama. Hawkeye7 (talk) 02:20, 13 January 2016 (UTC)

• Pics appropriately licensed.
• In the infobox, why is there an arrow at the bottom by the link for nuclear reactor?

  Y For some reason I thought it was part of the infobox, but it was actually a weird typo. Removed. Hawkeye7 (talk) 02:20, 13 January 2016 (UTC)

• Rephrase this: Compton decided to concentrate the work at the Metallurgical Laboratory at his own location, the University of Chicago as the Met Lab didn't exist prior to Compton's consolidation.

  Y Deleted "at the Metallurgical Laboratory" Hawkeye7 (talk) 02:20, 13 January 2016 (UTC)

• It's very odd to read an Amero-centric article using the term American football. I'd suggest just "football", keeping the link, and add a note to explain that it's not soccer for readers who might be confused about this trivial point.

  Y Changed to "fooball". If they hover over the link they will see "American football". We never call it that here in Australia; we call it "gridiron". Hawkeye7 (talk) 02:20, 13 January 2016 (UTC)

• A caption mentions at least 29 piles built in '42 under Stagg Field. Were they alternative designs for CP-1? Can you expand on that?

  Y Added a bit. Hawkeye7 (talk) 02:20, 13 January 2016 (UTC)

• MOS says that quantities should be expressed the same for like objects, regardless of the normal rule for spelling out numbers. 49 scientists present, 48 men and one woman.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 00:46, 13 January 2016 (UTC)

  Y Deleted "48 men and one woman". As noted in the A class review, Woods became an unperson for a time. Hawkeye7 (talk) 02:20, 13 January 2016 (UTC)

  • Everything looks fine, except for the image. I'll promote this in anticipation of getting that resolved.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 02:39, 13 January 2016 (UTC)
