Review 1

Please make that following edits or argue your case for not making the change. Thanks. Djmaschek (talk) 21:39, 16 June 2025 (UTC)

• Introduction, paragraph 3: "In 1941 ... flooded". It makes it seems as though the mine was deliberately flooded in 1941. I think it would be more accurate to write "By 1941 ... flooded" since the Congo mine was closed in 1937 and flooded over time. The Canadian mine closed in 1940 and flooded since then.

  Y Changed to "became flooded". Hawkeye7 (discuss) 22:52, 16 June 2025 (UTC)

• The US Army takes over, paragraph 1, sentence 2: "On 15 September". Add year (1942, I think).

  Y Yes. Added "1942". Hawkeye7 (discuss) 22:52, 16 June 2025 (UTC)

• Eldorado mine, last paragraph, sentence 1: "Shortly after to" > "Shortly after".

  Y Deleted stray word. Hawkeye7 (discuss) 22:52, 16 June 2025 (UTC)

• Finished through Uranium procurement, Canada. Had to stop.

Review 2

@Hawkeye7: Please make the following edits or argue your case for not making the change. Thanks.

• Europe, paragraph 1, last sentence: "Groves had it shipped..." Please replace "it" with something more specific like "62 tonnes" or "the recovered refined uranium".

  Y Changed as suggested. Hawkeye7 (discuss) 22:19, 19 June 2025 (UTC)

• Uranium refining and processing, Black oxide, paragraph 2, last sentence. "This crushed" > "This was crushed".

  Y Re-worded. Hawkeye7 (discuss) 22:19, 19 June 2025 (UTC)

• Review finished.
