Including an (autoplaying, not click-through) animated GIF in the article looks like a superbly classless ad tactic and seems an overall bad idea.
It is an æons-old, evolutionarily acquired biological instinct that whenever there's movement, we tend to look. Sensorially-saturated hyperactive teenagers may not be much bothered by excessive stimuli and may in fact not even consciously notice, but to any mature and compos mentis reader, this is extremely distracting and makes it hard to focus on the written text, as the movement in the corner tends to activate the threat assessment (if not fight-or-flight) response. (Will this eat me? Can I eat it?)
Also, the animated GIF is slow to load for people on less fast Internet connections, and that's an extra 6MB of wasted bandwith for you and me and everybody else, on every page load. If that's in line with Wikipedia policy, maybe the relevant policy needs revising. —ReadOnlyAccount (talk) 17:10, 25 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Excuse my poor english and my even poorer INTERNET culture. Some time ago I read this article and found two films of Able and Baker that I felt highly valuable. I mean two films with a triangle to play them, perhaps I am saying the same thing of ReadOnlyAccount, but possibly I am saying the exact opposite -- my english/INTERNET are too poor to be sure.

I have recovered them in the old version of 28 March 2022C, so my questions are: it is possible to insert them again? are they in a WIKICOMMONS database where may be easily recovered? It is possible to place a link to find them in an INTERNET archive or like?

Might be worth taking a look at adding the film to the pop culture section. 2603:6080:A500:4DF1:FD40:FF56:924F:7156 (talk) 06:54, 4 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

My father was on one of the a sea going tugs that towed the target ships back after the bombing. Not being familiar with updates/improvemnets. I was wondering if the writer would be interested adding additional photos of the target ships taken by him from his ship? Robburch (talk) 14:17, 1 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It would be interesting to known if these drones landed or ejected the instruments. Also if took-off with a later-ejected auxiliary crew (the primary being that who controlled by remote). Thanks. Pietri. 151.29.39.54 (talk) 07:17, 28 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

About

Other isotopes were produced from seawater: hydrogen-3 (half-life 12 years) from hydrogen-2, oxygen-17 (stable) from oxygen-16, and chlorine-36 (half-life about 300,000 years) from chlorine-35, ....

I would expect the production of stable deuterium (this is why ordinary water works in the known way in nuclear reactors) or the removal of the stable O-17. Pieto 151.29.39.54 (talk) 19:07, 28 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
