DYK nomination of Gloster P.370
- Nothing too important, just the QPQ. Styyx (talk) 14:51, 19 March 2024 (UTC)]
- Actually, it's two QPQs because we're in backlog mode, and it's important, because there's a seven-day deadline to supply QPQs once asked for, and this is day fourteen. Please provide two QPQs right away if you wish to pursue this nomination. Thank you! BlueMoonset (talk) 04:32, 3 April 2024 (UTC)

Hi Maury Markowitz. Thank you for your work on Bed of nails defense. Another editor, Klbrain, has reviewed it as part of new pages patrol and left the following comment:
Thanks for bringing another interesting article to Wikipedia. The referencing is rather Garvin-heavy, but given that it was his idea, and that he had little support, I suppose that's not surprising. Good luck with the DYK proposal!

- There is a fascinating quote in the reference you added...
- "Since our own silo-killing force was to be housed in those very Minuteman silos which were assumed to be effec- tively destroyable by the Soviet Union, it was not clear how conversion of Minute- man to a force of silo killers would in itself counter that danger to the Minuteman force, except by the threat of preemptive attack. Indeed, were a force of Soviet silo killers really to materialize, it is likely that the Defense Department would request funds and approval to develop and deploy mobile ICBMs."
- Basically, he posits that adding counterforce to Minuteman would actually be counter to the goal of giving the US flexibility, because it would demand the Soviets do the same thing with their missiles and thus increase the risks of a first-strike by either side. The calculus of nuclear war during that era is absolutely fascinating. Maury Markowitz (talk) 15:57, 23 April 2024 (UTC)
