- Was just chaging it to: "After the mission Jeppson took one of each for his personal use which he later sold." but found your block." Is this text without the conversion acceptable?
- When you do begin discussion on the talk page, I personally would recommend you try for something more along the line of:
-
- Each was about the size and shape of a car cigarette lighter (approximately three inches in length), with a green-cap for the safety plug and a red cap for the arming plug. After the mission Jeppson took one red capped and one green capped plug as a memento.
-
- In 2002, Jeppson offered the pair of plugs for auction, however the United States Government...etc
- Stylistically, the first paragraph is dealing with the 1940's, and the second with the early 2000's, so the sudden jump forward at the end is jarring, especially considering that the very next paragraph deals with the items' sale. I doubt that he actually 'used' the plugs as safety plugs for other nuclear warheads, so the phrase 'for his personal use' doesn't make sense. 'As a memento' is just a placeholder, we could just as easily say 'kept one of each', but 'took one of each,' without a tag of some sort, sounds awkward.
- But again, this needs to be discussed. Stating your intention on the talk page and then promptly carrying it out is not discussion; a version that all editors can agree upon should be found on the talk page before any more additions are made to the article. -- Vary | Talk 09:36, 30 November 2006 (UTC)
