Talk:Q clearance

message: According to the page on Security clearances, a Q clearance requires more rigor than a Top Secret clearance. I don't know which page is correct.

message: I have restored the badge photo (although it would be great to get a better image). While making replicas or realistic copies of access badges is undoubtedly unlawful under U.S. law, I would be very surprised to learn that news photographs of badges are unlawful, as they often appear in news media. If you assert otherwise, please cite a source before removing the image again. --MCB 20:46, 25 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: You are right and you are wrong. DOE labs are run by contractors which have independent copyright policies and their works are not necessarily works of the federal government. But LANL's copyright policy makes clear that anything other than specific technical information (their scientific output) can be freely reproduced. --Fastfission 16:45, 15 February 2007 (UTC)

message: I added the merge tag. I think we could easily merge this article into the Security clearance article. Thoughts? Comments? --BlindEagletalk~contribs 15:29, 21 September 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I oppose; this article is about a very specific, notable security clearance level... Top Secret is all over. Q clearance, now... that's rare. Georgewilliamherbert 00:22, 22 September 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Interesting perspective. I think security clearances in general are rare and noteworthy, hence the Security clearance article. The Q clearance is probably the most rare of them all in my opinion. But, it is still just a security clearance like all the others. --BlindEagletalk~contribs 12:32, 22 September 2007 (UTC)

replies: text: The DOE has already been asked to contact the Wikimedia Foundation's counsel and discuss with him, after otherwise contacting us. I don't know the results of that, however, the WMF counsel has not taken the image down. Please do not go around threatening us. Have the proper DOE or DOJ staff contact the Foundation properly and continue the discussion there. Georgewilliamherbert (talk) 22:47, 31 December 2007 (UTC)

message: Anyone know exactly what date Q-Level clearance started? My great-uncle, Father Michael DeLisle Lyons and his mentor Father James Bernard Macelwane (of St. Louis University) both had Q-Level clearance. Father Lyons supplied beryllium for the initiators from 1944 to 1974 when he died from Chronic Beryllium Lung Disease.

message: Might be worth adding the PARD status on the page as well as noted here.  "Instead, they were assigned the security level Protect as Restricted Data ("PARD") which ranks between Unclassified and Confidential Restricted Data ("CRD") on the LANL security hierarchy."

message: May be it is obvious for English speakers, why these letters were chosen to distinguish different levels, but I have no clue at all. L could stand for "low" but Q? JSoos (talk) 11:02, 7 January 2021 (UTC)

message: I'm not sure if somebody is intentionally trying to mislead or if they really just don't know any better, but I'm done "fixing" stuff on this page.   I think accuracy is important.   And when my fixes are reverted back to being misleading or incorrect, then I go away. Rdarlington (talk) 07:53, 25 April 2021 (UTC)

message: I marked the Wikimedia chart image

for evident reasons.  Anyone so motivated, please do so. 🙇🏾‍♂️  Here're some helpful pointers.
To provide citation for the (hopefully) upcoming chart, is it sufficient to simply link to the original image @ Commons?
