ArbCom Elections 2016: Voting now open! Hello, Bassmadrigal. Voting in the 2016 Arbitration Committee elections is open from Monday, 00:00, 21 November through Sunday, 23:59, 4 December to all unblocked users who have registered an account before Wednesday, 00:00, 28 October 2016 and have made at least 150 mainspace edits before Sunday, 00:00, 1 November 2016. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to impose binding solutions to disputes between editors, primarily for serious conduct disputes the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the authority to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate in the 2016 election, please review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page. MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 22:08, 21 November 2016 (UTC) Your change of my edit to the "Manhattan Project"You misinterpreted what the word "development" refers to in the sentence. "Development" refers to the development of uranium-235, not the development of the gun-type weapon. This is obvious because the next two sentences go on to expand about the development of uranium-235, not the weapon. So I'm changing it back to the way I had it, but seperating the weapon from the uranium with a comma for clarity. UConnHusky7 (talk) 23:23, 5 December 2016 (UTC)
Two types of atomic bomb were developed during the war; a relatively simple gun-type fission weapon was made using uranium while a more complex plutonium implosion-type weapon was designed concurrently.
Two types of atomic bombs were developed concurrently during the war; a relatively simple gun-type fission weapon using uranium and a more complex implosion-type weapon using plutonium. Developing the gun-type weapon required uranium-235 (an isotope that makes up only 0.7 percent of natural uranium), which was difficult to separate from natural uranium-238 since they were chemically identical and had almost the same mass.
Two types of atomic bombs were developed concurrently during the war; a relatively simple gun-type fission weapon, and a more complex implosion-type nuclear weapon. The Thin Man gun-type design proved impractical to use with plutonium so a simpler gun-type called Little Boy was developed that used uranium-235, an isotope that makes up only 0.7 percent of natural uranium. Chemically identical to the most common isotope, uranium-238, and with almost the same mass, it proved difficult to separate the two. Three methods were employed for uranium enrichment: electromagnetic, gaseous and thermal. Most of this work was performed at the Clinton Engineer Works at Oak Ridge, Tennessee. In parallel with the work on uranium was an effort to produce plutonium. After the feasibility of the world's first artificial nuclear reactor was demonstrated in Chicago at the Metallurgical Laboratory, it designed the X-10 Graphite Reactor at Oak Ridge and the production reactors in Hanford, Washington, in which uranium was irradiated and transmuted into plutonium. The plutonium was then chemically separated from the uranium. The Fat Man implosion-type weapon was developed in a concerted design and construction effort by the Los Alamos Laboratory. Hope this makes everything clearer by separating the uranium and plutonium efforts. Hawkeye7 (talk) 20:07, 6 December 2016 (UTC)
Down the rabbit holeI hope you have enjoyed reading the Wikipedia articles on the Manhattan Project. I encourage you to review articles like Project Y, which is under review at FAC (as is, since you said you like space, Alan B. Shepard), and S-50 (Manhattan Project), at A class review.

Disambiguation link notification for March 24Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited David L. Goldfein, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages T-37 and T-38. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.
