I'll take this one on. From a cursory initial reading it looks pretty good, and I don't think much will be required to get it up to GA standard. Reyk _YO! 11:21, 16 April 2015 (UTC)

Hello @Hawkeye7:! Well done on this well-written article. It pretty much meets all the criteria. I have a couple of minor comments listed below, and it would be better if there were at least one more image, but aside from that it's ready to be promoted to GA.

• @Hawkeye7: I have promoted the article to GA based on your improvements. Well done. Reyk _YO! 07:25, 18 April 2015 (UTC)

Manhattan Project

• Why was it unusual for Rainwater to go to Columbia?

  Y Added some explanation. Hawkeye7 (talk) 21:47, 17 April 2015 (UTC)

• The article would benefit from more material on Rainwater's personal life, but perhaps not in a section titled "Manhattan project"

Later Life

• What did Rainwater die of?

  No idea, I'm afraid. I have noted his poor health in later life. Hawkeye7 (talk) 21:47, 17 April 2015 (UTC)

  Heart attack, apparently. Found that buried far down in one of the sources. Reyk _YO! 07:19, 18 April 2015 (UTC)

Categories
