This article concerns a specific department of the historical United Kingdom's Ministry of Defense. The article does not make this plain, and does not contextualize the material in its proper historical context.

It should also likely be included in the Naval History of the United Kingdom portal umbrella. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.101.198.251 (talk) 00:15, 22 August 2009 (UTC)Reply

Also IP address 88.236.110.212 on 2012 October 22 and IP address 78.175.129.232 on 2012 November 21. All are in IP blocks are assigned to Turk Telekom ADSL.

I don't know if these changes are factually correct.

Technically, they have some problems.

  • links are not used (eg. Barnes Wallis)
  • references are done improperly. Currently, (1)(5) oddly sits after a mention of Jeans. This was originally introduced as a (malformed) reference, but most has been edited out.
  • changed proper references into malformed ones
  • removed the useful explanation of what Persil means

I hesitate to fix the technical problems because that might mask any factual problems. DHR (talk) 15:56, 4 September 2013 (UTC)Reply

...Is this a real-life Acme Corp that we're reading about here? Or are they maybe just a not so subtle inspiration for the cartoon version, so smitten with faulty rocket-propelled gadgetry? 193.63.174.115 (talk) 11:00, 20 August 2015 (UTC)Reply
