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
[edit]- Why was it unusual for Rainwater to go to Columbia?
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"
