Project Wizard[edit]

(

)

... that the USAF's 1946 Project Thumper and Project Wizard were the first detailed studies of an anti-ballistic missile system, intended to attack a V-2-like missile?

5x expanded by Maury Markowitz (talk). Self nominated at 23:14, 29 December 2013 (UTC).

11,000+ characters, hook verified with the PDF source, 5x expansion done. However, this link doesn't seem to work. Ethically ^(Yours) 15:56, 5 January 2014 (UTC)

Well caught. Can you try it again, I think I've fixed it. Maury Markowitz (talk) 12:33, 7 January 2014 (UTC)

Time for fresh eyes? --PFHLai (talk) 03:33, 18 January 2014 (UTC)
BTW, QPQ, please. --PFHLai (talk) 22:48, 25 January 2014 (UTC)

I did a QPQ for this a couple weeks back, I did three in a short span. I can't recall which one though! Maury Markowitz (talk) 12:43, 29 January 2014 (UTC) And a couple since. Elizibeth Shanley can bless this one. Maury Markowitz (talk) 16:43, 29 January 2014 (UTC)

Elizabeth Shanley has already been used for one of the Boeing nominations. Template:Did you know nominations/Sussie Eriksson doesn't seem to have been used yet, so unless you have objections, we'll use that one as a QPQ here. Maury, it's up to you to provide a link to the specific QPQ review you're using, so the reviewer can easily confirm it. Thanks. BlueMoonset (talk) 16:14, 30 January 2014 (UTC)

Reviewer needed to finish review, including checking the original issue raised. BlueMoonset (talk) 16:14, 30 January 2014 (UTC)

Continuing from Ethically Yours' review: The link still doesn't work. The third paragraph under "Thumper and Wizard" needs at least one cite per Rule D2, and there is a tag in the fourth paragraph in the same section. Otherwise, no close paraphrasing seen in sources. QPQ done. Yoninah (talk) 23:13, 10 February 2014 (UTC)

Can you try the URL again? I works for me no matter which one I use, it just seems to take a long time on one and then the other. Maury Markowitz (talk) 00:05, 11 February 2014 (UTC)

Thanks for taking care of the cite and the tag. The URL is redirecting me to http://www.af.mil/. BTW, where is this source in the document? I can't find it. Yoninah (talk) 10:46, 11 February 2014 (UTC)

I honestly don't know what to say, it works fine for me, and I know other people have gone to it to, I found it in other articles. When I click it goes to http://www.dtic.mil/dtic/tr/fulltext/u2/a246702.pdf , is that the same for you? Have you tried another browser? Maybe it's a cache problem? Maury Markowitz (talk) 11:59, 11 February 2014 (UTC)

Yes, that link opens for me, and it's the link cited in the article. So everything is in order. 5x expansion verified. New enough, long enough, no close paraphrasing seen. Hook ref verified and cited inline. QPQ done. Good to go. Yoninah (talk) 13:26, 11 February 2014 (UTC)
