Hi Hawkeye, only a few questions/suggestions...

Regards, JennyOz (talk) 05:43, 26 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Dates and times

Sorry but I think the dates are still a bit confusing. There is a mix of theirs and ours? For example, "MacDougall had been appointed the Native Patrol Officer at Woomera on 4 November 1947" and "When he was given the assignment on 6 January 1953" are presumably Aust'n dates but does Arnold use Aust or Eng dates in "Kitten tests carried out at the Emu Field site on 26 and 30 September, and 6 October."? Maybe add UTC where relevant?

Arnold uses Australian dates. Hawkeye7 (discuss) 19:30, 2 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

As for the actual two Totem tests, Hurricane's is not so confusing. It uses 3 October in lede / 2 Oct in infobox but with UTC added. Then times and dates are explained in full in Operation "The bomb was successfully detonated at 07:59:24 on 3 October 1952 local time, which was 23:59:24 on 2 October 1952 UTC, 00:59:24 on 3 October in London, and 07:59:24 on 3 October in Perth." (The London time is British Summer Time?). In its Summary table you have only one column for date and time and have included the Aust'n date. So can I humbly suggest...

I reviewed this at GAN eighteen months ago, so not a lot came up when I read through it again. I have a few comments:

No worries Hawkeye. I think you need to hit save? Peacemaker67 (click to talk to me) 06:37, 25 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
 Done Heh. Hawkeye7 (discuss) 08:44, 25 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Nikkimaria, would you mind doing an image review of this one please? Peacemaker67 (click to talk to me) 21:10, 25 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Image review

  • It's both. A press photo is one released to the media for its use, but simply allowing the use of an image does not affect copyright. The image was indeed owned by the crown, and hence is now in the public domain. Hawkeye7 (discuss) 08:01, 26 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
