message: The lead image of this article and Trinity (nuclear test) is :File:TrinityDetonation1945GIF.gif, which is a GIF in color of the Trinity test. However, the YouTube source video (linked in the GIF's description), uploaded by "atomcentral", of this explosion is in black-and-white. As far as I can tell, this GIF was colorized by the uploader, GalaxyNite. This would be a violation of , which says: 
According to OSTI  and Popular Science, the Trinity test was filmed in both black-and-white and color, but the color version is of a much lower quality than the black-and-white version. Malerisch (talk) 16:30, 28 November 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: Same goes for :File:TrinityFireballGif.gif (also uploaded by GalaxyNite), which just seems to be a colorized version of the second explosion in the same YouTube video. The immediate source video of this second GIF is a random YouTube channel ("The Centralnuclear"); at least "atomcentral" has some credibility. Malerisch (talk) 17:06, 28 November 2023 (UTC)

text: Agree 100% that the version at present is artificially colorized and inappropriate (the colors are not at all accurate; the orange implies a much cooler fireball than it was in reality). Its timing also seems quite "off" to me. --NuclearSecrets (talk) 00:45, 22 January 2024 (UTC)

message: The revision by Whizz40 on 20:59, 2 September 2023 is not referenced, POV, and incorrect. The original sentence read "It was led by the United States with support from the United Kingdom and Canada." which is more correct than their revision. 70.51.132.220 (talk) 04:53, 11 March 2024 (UTC)

message: Please add this section as is in regards to Teller's group contribution. 
A special group was established under Teller in March 1944 to investigate the mathematics of an implosion-type nuclear weapon. Because of his interest in the Super, Teller did not work as hard on the implosion calculations as Bethe wanted. These too were originally low-priority tasks, but the discovery of spontaneous fission in plutonium by Emilio Segrè's group gave the implosion bomb increased importance. In June 1944, at Bethe's request, Oppenheimer moved Teller out of T Division, and placed him in charge of a special group responsible for the Super, reporting directly to Oppenheimer. He was replaced by Rudolf Peierls from the British Mission, who in turn brought in Klaus Fuchs, who was later revealed to be a Soviet spy. Teller's Super group became part of Fermi's F Division when he joined the Los Alamos Laboratory in September 1944. It included Stanislaw Ulam, Jane Roberg, Geoffrey Chew, Harold and Mary Argo, and Maria Goeppert-Mayer.[1]

message: I just read a great new page,  "African-American scientists and technicians on the Manhattan Project," that should be linked to on this main page. Can someone add that link somewhere here? The page is protected, or I would do it myself. Thanks! ProfJsto (talk) 15:05, 12 April 2024 (UTC)
replies: text: Added a sentence. It is also now in the template, so is present in all the Manhattan Project articles. One problem: the article says As a condition of funding the project, southern legislators required that it be segregated but neither of the cited sources support this sentence.

replies: text: thanks a lot! i didn't make this page, but I can check in on the sources and see what I find.  ProfJsto (talk) 21:04, 12 April 2024 (UTC)
replies: text: Okay. I will delete the sentence for now. It can be reinstated if a source can be found. Hawkeye7 (discuss) 22:42, 12 April 2024 (UTC)

message: Within the article for the Manhattan project, the part about Uranium, more specifically about Gaseous Diffusion seems to have a grammatical mistake, I have put in bold what I think should be added for the sentence to make more sense grammatically speaking.
The process faced formidable technical difficulties. The highly corrosive gas uranium hexafluoride had to be used, as no substitute could be found, and the motors and pumps had to be vacuum tight and enclosed in inert gas. Think and Game (talk) 13:47, 2 May 2024 (UTC)
