Nuclear bomb history

Hawkeye,

Thanks for the appreciation of the Sandstone article. I'm the maintainer of a database originally intended to build up a .kml file for all the world's nuclear testing, but I've decided that I may as well spread the data around. It's in an Access database, and I've been writing Basic code to generate all the content pages (excepting, of course, the freehand content) like "Operation Sandstone" and is brethren, not only US but USSR, GB, France, China, India, Pakistan and NK. The "root" page is "Worldwide nuclear testing counts and summary", which links to the others through country-level pages down to the series (Operation) pages. I've spent the last month perfecting the VBasic code and am in the process of final application to all the pages. I redrew Crossroads through Tumbler-Snapper last night, and will plow on until all the pages are to the same level of detail. I've added references to the reflist at the bottom of the pages; placing inline refs on each line of the tables would not, I believe, be very illuminating. If you have suggestions, please, lay on.

If you'd like my humble efforts in editing your copy, I'll be glad to; just send a link or whatever is needed. My knowledge is pretty specialized (I'm a retired aerospace/software engineer and unrequited scientist of several kinds), but I may be able to add something to the effort.

What you need to do to the nuclear tests is add a reference to the ultimate source. Otherwise, someone will eventually come along and remove it as unsourced. Hawkeye7 (talk) 20:14, 5 January 2014 (UTC)

Main Page appearance: Douglas MacArthur

This is a note to let the main editors of Douglas MacArthur know that the article will be appearing as today's featured article on January 26, 2014. If this article needs any attention or maintenance, it would be preferable if that could be done before its appearance on the Main Page. If you prefer that the article appear as TFA on a different date, or not at all, please ask Bencherlite (talk · contribs). You can view the TFA blurb at Wikipedia:Today's featured article/January 26, 2014. If it needs tweaking, or if it needs rewording to match improvements to the article between now and its main page appearance, please edit it, following the instructions at Wikipedia:Today's featured article/requests/instructions. The blurb as it stands now is below:

Douglas MacArthur in 1945

Douglas MacArthur (1880–1964) was an American general who played a prominent role in the Pacific theater during World War II. He received the Medal of Honor, as did his father, was one of only five men to rise to the rank of General of the Army in the U.S. Army, and the only man to become a field marshal in the Philippine Army. After graduating first in his West Point class in 1903, he participated in the 1914 occupation of Veracruz and served on the Western Front during World War I, becoming the U.S. Army's youngest major general. Thereafter he held a variety of posts, including Superintendent of West Point and Chief of Staff. He retired in 1937, but was recalled to active duty during World War II. After the Japanese invasion of the Philippines, he escaped with his family and staff to Australia, where he became Supreme Commander, Southwest Pacific Area. He fulfilled a famous pledge to return to the Philippines, and officially accepted Japan's surrender on 2 September 1945. He oversaw the occupation of Japan from 1945 to 1951, implementing many reforms, and led the United Nations Command in the Korean War until President Harry Truman had him relieved of his commands in April 1951.

Douglas MacArthur

Do you have a citation for the claim that his GCB was awarded by Australia, and over the objections of the British government? I have no reason to doubt either claim, but the citation given doesn't support them, it just says he was awarded the British GCB. Colonies Chris (talk) 09:49, 17 January 2014 (UTC)

I don't think the article needs an additional reference, but in articles like this, the wording sometimes carefully states the situation. Under the old Imperial Honours system the Australian government would send nominations for awards to Buckingham Palace in the United Kingdom. However the awards were still British, and the British Secretary of State for War enforced rules for quotas and eligibility. After conferring with the British, the Australian government was intending to nominate MacArthur for a KCB, George Kenney for a CB and Robert Eichelberger for a CBE for the Papuan campaign. The issue blew up when the news reached Australia that the British government was intended to confer a KCB on George Brett, a former subordinate of MacArthur, for his role as deputy ABDA commander in 1942. MacArthur considered that being given the same award would an insult, and said that he would decline any lesser award than that customarily given to four-star generals like Harold Alexander, ie the GCB, and that his subordinates would similarly decline honours. On being asked for his advice, Thomas Blamey told the government that he agreed that it was an insult, which he felt was a calculated one by the British to diminish the importance of the war in the Pacific. The Australian government then went to bat against the British, who in the end were forced to give way. As a result, MacArthur was awarded the GCB, Blamey the GBE and Kenney, Eichelberger and Edmund Herring received the KBE. See Hetherington, John (1973). Blamey, Controversial Soldier: A Biography of Field Marshal Sir Thomas Blamey. Canberra: Australian War Memorial. pp. 288–292. ISBN 0-9592043-0-X. OCLC 2025093.

Hawkeye - Congratulations on bringing the Douglas MacArthur article to today's Main Page as a featured article. There likely are many who are scholars on the Douglas MacArthur topic and have written about his life. Given the wide interest in topics like MacArthur and the Manhattan Project, I find it very impressive that you are able summarize such voluminous information to where others agree that what you wrote is a thorough and representative survey of the relevant literature.

Hey, about the bomb availability for Hiroshima...

http://books.google.com/books?id=JM4OD4jMsjkC&pg=PA16&dq=demonstration+only+two+bombs&hl=en&sa=X&ei=AODpUvSvF4mHogTNkIDADw&ved=0CDEQ6AEwAQ#v=onepage&q=demonstration%20only%20two%20bombs&f=false http://books.google.com/books?id=Haf2g1mbsH8C&pg=PA86&dq=two+bombs+demonstration+Truman+and+Hiroshima+cult&hl=en&sa=X&ei=MOHpUqLQBcnzoATy-IGgAw&ved=0CCkQ6AEwAA#v=onepage&q=two%20bombs%20demonstration%20Truman%20and%20Hiroshima%20cult&f=false

Are these informations good enough? I was wondering because the U.S. only had two bombs by August 1945 with a few more coming later on until September and I wonder if these were good enough.XXzoonamiXX (talk) 05:24, 30 January 2014 (UTC)

No, there were three; there was also the Trinity gadget. I'm unsure how many they thought they'd have and when in May 1945. As noted in the article, the Demon Core was ready shortly after Nagasaki. Looking at the books here, we actually have four sources: Sherwin, A World Destroyed (1977), Hewlett and Anderson The New World (1962) and Compton Atomic Quest. That Teller and Strauss claimed supported a demonstration comes from US News and World Report of 15 August 1960 (which your source questions). How about bringing Chicago Pile-1 to GA instead? Hawkeye7 (talk) 09:36, 30 January 2014 (UTC)
I might look into this information deeper but besides, I was asking if these information were valid for the Hiroshima and Nagasaki article. One of them says by August 1945, the U.S. only had two bombs left. XXzoonamiXX (talk) 19:22, 30 January 2014 (UTC)
It is the sort of thing that we would not say in the article, because it would lead to a misunderstanding. In the 1940s they did not have nuclear weapons like we have today, they only had piles of bomb components. Counting bombs was therefore problematic. What we normally count is the number of cores. Hawkeye7 (talk) 20:25, 30 January 2014 (UTC)
Ok, point taken but we're talking about the bomb available for combat use. There is no doubt the bombs was still processing after the two bombs were used in combat but i'm talking about the bomb availability. I could say that the U.S. only had two atomic bombs after wasting the first one for the Trinity Test but the rest will not come in until last August 1945. Is that ok with you? XXzoonamiXX (talk) 02:58, 31 January 2014 (UTC)
No, we are not talking about bombs actually available for combat use. They would only be so after the 1st Special Ordnance Sq assembled them. So when we talk about bomb availability, we mean components to make them: cores, initiators, detonators and assemblies. Hawkeye7 (talk) 10:01, 31 January 2014 (UTC)
Any information regarding the cores and stuff would you like to give me in addition to the combat bombs? Otherwise, I might screw up.XXzoonamiXX (talk) 18:49, 5 February 2014 (UTC)
Can you answer me please? XXzoonamiXX (talk) 18:57, 6 February 2014 (UTC)
What more do we need tyo add? We already say: Groves expected to have another atomic bomb ready for use on August 19, with three more in September and a further three in October.[187] On August 10, he sent a memorandum to Marshall in which he wrote that "the next bomb ... should be ready for delivery on the first suitable weather after 17 or 18 August."'

WikiCup 2014 January newsletter

The 2014 WikiCup is off to a flying start, with, at time of writing, 138 participants. The is the largest number of participants we have seen since 2010. If you are yet to join the competition, don't worry- the judges have agreed to keep the signups open for a few more days. By a wide margin, our current leader is newcomer Smithsonian Institution Godot13 (submissions), whose set of 14 featured pictures, the first FPs of the competition, was worth 490 points. Here are some more noteworthy scorers:

Featured articles, featured lists, featured topics and featured portals are yet to play a part in the competition. The judges have removed a number of submissions which were deemed ineligible. Typically, we aim to see work on a project, followed by a nomination, followed by promotion, this year. We apologise for any disappointment caused by our strict enforcement this year; we're aiming to keep the competition as fair as possible.

Wikipedians interested in friendly competition may be interested to take part in The Core Contest; unlike the WikiCup, The Core Contest is not about audited content, but, like the WikiCup, it is about article improvement; specifically, The Core Contest is about contribution to some of Wikipedia's most important article. Of course, any work done for The Core Contest, if it leads to a DYK, GA or FA, can earn WikiCup points.

If you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is at good article candidates, a featured process, or anywhere else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews. If you want to help out with the WikiCup, please do your bit to help keep down the review backlogs! Questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email. Good luck!
