• Very fascinating article; I had never heard of such a thing. Article is good and hook is interesting. I don't have access to the source so will assume good faith. Just waiting on a QPQ. —Panamitsu (talk) 08:02, 20 April 2024 (UTC)
• I've added a link to JSTOR for the Garvin (1976) magazine article, which I hope will help. I note that almost all of the references are those of Richard Garwin, published over the span of about a decade, and that the proposal was never implemented. Nevertheless, and interesting article with an engaging hook that's also accurate! Klbrain (talk) 14:27, 23 April 2024 (UTC)

  • The original reviewer, Panamitsu, was never pinged to review the QPQ. (t · c) buidhe 05:31, 9 May 2024 (UTC)

Feedback from New Page Review process

I left the following feedback for the creator/future reviewers while reviewing this article: Thanks for bringing another interesting article to Wikipedia. The referencing is rather Garvin-heavy, but given that it was his idea, and that he had little support, I suppose that's not surprising. Good luck with the DYK proposal!
