Looks good to me. Article's in good shape, hook fact is present and cited. Only quibble is that there's a bit of inconsistency between the use of "fuse" and "fuze" in the article. GRAPPLE X 04:32, 16 February 2014 (UTC)

I can't remember what the correct form is in US English, but the Manhattan Project consistently used "fuse" so I'm going with that. Hawkeye7 (talk) 06:53, 16 February 2014 (UTC)

see fuze. apparently, there's special meaning with the z-word. -- Ohc ^¡digame! 12:12, 16 February 2014 (UTC)

Before this is promoted, can the "fuse" vs. "fuze" issue please be reexamined in light of the above? If the source uses "fuze", then the text almost certainly ought to as well, since this isn't a matter of spelling consistency. I'd say it depends on the cited sources for each use of the word.

- As I said above, the sources use "fuse". You can verify this; they are online and linked in the references. Hawkeye7 (talk) 07:43, 18 February 2014 (UTC)
