Franklin Matthias
[edit]- ... that Colonel Franklin Matthias, the Manhattan District area engineer at the Hanford site, personally couriered its first production batch of plutonium?
5x expanded by Hawkeye7 (talk). Self nominated at 21:16, 16 February 2015 (UTC).
- Article: 5x expansion confirmed; definitely long enough; passes core policies (recently named GA)
- Hook:: Concise; hook cited to Rhodes and Nicholas (offline book sources), accepted WP:AGF;
- QPQ confirmed (resulted in an article merge); no images
However, I would suggest changing the "Manhattan District" to "Manhattan Project" because the latter name is more recognizable.
- Suggested ALT ... that Colonel Franklin Matthias, the Manhattan Project area engineer at the Hanford site, personally couriered its first production batch of plutonium?
