Reason: This image depicts the second thermonuclear weapon ever tested and the first "dry" thermonuclear weapon, with dry weapons being the basis of all modern nuclear weapons. It is of great historical significance and provides the viewer with an understanding of the small size of what was a very powerful device. From a scientific and engineering standpoint, the image makes clear the vacuum line of sight pipes attached to the device which where used for device diagnostics during the test, along with other hardware.
Articles in which this image appears: Castle Bravo, Operation Castle. In both cases the image is somewhat overtaken by two other highly iconic images.
FP category for this image: Wikipedia:Featured pictures/Engineering and technology/Weaponry
Creator: United States Atomic Energy Commission.

It needs a bit of restoration, which I volunteer to do if there are a couple supports. I probably support later after I look into the article. Bammesk (talk)

I uploaded a restored version per my comment above. Pinging participants to reassess votes @Kylesenior, Tyrone Madera, Kavyansh.Singh, Janke, MER-C, and Cwmhiraeth:. Bammesk (talk) 01:44, 26 October 2021 (UTC)

Is removing the photo ID normal? Nice work however.Kylesenior (talk) 03:21, 26 October 2021 (UTC)

Kylesenior, what do you mean by photo ID? Do you mean the "source" information (nuclearweaponarchive.org and reddit.com)? Bammesk (talk) 04:01, 26 October 2021 (UTC)
- D-92-1 is the the photograph's file number in the DTRIAC.Kylesenior (talk) 04:29, 26 October 2021 (UTC)

Kylesenior, yes normally we remove such IDs, example . When a text is an integral part of the image then we keep it, examples . In this case I don't have a strong preference either way. If some of you want to keep the government's photo ID, I will upload another restored version with the ID. I added it to the file's description on Commons. Bammesk (talk) 02:53, 27 October 2021 (UTC)

Tyrone, a repeat vote isn't helpful. You need to indicate which version you are voting for: the original or the restored? Or which version you prefer? Bammesk (talk) 03:42, 26 October 2021 (UTC)

I amended your later vote and struck your first vote, so should now be OK. --Janke | Talk 17:14, 26 October 2021 (UTC)

Janke, I undid the changes you made to User:Tyrone Madera comments, and restored Tyrone's comments as he had them. Revising others' comments can be controversial and confusing, per WP:TPOC, and in this case not necessary. Bammesk (talk) 01:51, 2 November 2021 (UTC)

Comment - If people have a better suggestion/better wording for the caption, I would like to hear it. Both the description used here and on Commons.Kylesenior (talk) 03:23, 26 October 2021 (UTC)

I think a good place to inquire is on article's talk page(s). Article watchers may have informed suggestions. Bammesk (talk) 02:59, 27 October 2021 (UTC)

Comment - I prefer the original. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 04:57, 26 October 2021 (UTC)

@Armbrust:, I restored the edits made by User:Tyrone Madera to their original form, diff 1 diff 2. In counting the votes, I see 4.5 support votes for the Original image (by users Kylesenior, Tyrone Madera, Kavyansh.Singh, MER-C, Cwmhiraeth), and I see 5 support votes for the Restored image (by users Bammesk, Kavyansh.Singh, Janke, MER-C, Tyrone Madera). I see sufficient clarity to close this nom. If you have any concerns, please let me know. Thanks. Bammesk (talk) 02:08, 2 November 2021 (UTC)

I support the cleaned up version. I'll try to be more clear in future.Kylesenior (talk) 02:10, 2 November 2021 (UTC)

With User:Kylesenior's support, now it's 6 supports for the Restored image. Bammesk (talk) 03:35, 2 November 2021 (UTC)
