Silesian Wars

The Silesian Wars (German: Schlesische Kriege) were a series of three wars fought in the mid-18th century between Prussia (under King Frederick the Great) and Austria (under Archduchess Maria Theresa) for control of the Central European region of Silesia. All three wars are generally considered to have ended in Prussian victory, and their territorial result was Austria's cession of the majority of Silesia to Prussia. The conflict over Silesia foreshadowed a wider Austro-Prussian struggle for hegemony over the German-speaking peoples that would later culminate in the Austro-Prussian War of 1866.

A series of new Good Articles covering all three of these related conflicts, with a summary lead article for the set. --Bryanrutherford0 (talk) 03:34, 22 April 2019 (UTC)

• Support I've reviewed all of these articles, and believe the three articles cover the wars comprehensively, and the Silesian Wars article is a good summary. I cannot think of any articles that need to be added. Peacemaker67 (click to talk to me) 05:21, 22 April 2019 (UTC)
• Support, per Peacemaker67. It ticks all of the boxes so far as I can see. Gog the Mild (talk) 10:56, 22 April 2019 (UTC)

I've constructed this Good Topic from Category:Nuclear history of the United Kingdom. -- Hawkeye7 (discuss) 11:01, 24 November 2018 (UTC)

• Support FT I believe that this would qualify as a featured topic. --DannyS712 (talk) 21:36, 25 November 2018 (UTC)
• Support - looks like this has it all covered as a good topic, 11 GA, 7 FA articles so not quite half at feature quality. MPJ-DK (talk) 02:30, 14 December 2018 (UTC)

• Support. This is a fascinating group of articles, and the quality is uniform.--Gen. Quon (Talk) 02:18, 7 January 2019 (UTC)
• Comment this is an impressive effort, and seems comprehensive to me. One query: Is all of the testing covered by these articles? Peacemaker67 (click to talk to me) 08:17, 8 January 2019 (UTC)

  Yes, but not nearly in the detail that they are in the test articles. All the articles on test series - Operation Hurricane, Operation Grapple, Operation Mosaic, Operation Totem, British nuclear tests at Maralinga and British nuclear testing in the United States - are GA or better. But the list articles - Nuclear weapons tests in Australia and List of nuclear weapons tests of the United Kingdom are not. We could add the tests to the topic as well. Hawkeye7 (discuss) 21:43, 9 January 2019 (UTC)

  I think the tests should be part of the topic. Peacemaker67 (click to talk to me) 00:53, 10 January 2019 (UTC)

  The topic then becomes:

• I have merged the table at List of nuclear weapons tests of the United Kingdom to the Nuclear_weapons_and_the_United_Kingdom#Nuclear_tests, which fits quite well since there wasn't much else to it. Otherwise that ought to be in the topic as well. Perhaps Nuclear weapons tests in Australia should be merged with British nuclear tests at Maralinga; that list also belongs in the topic. Comprehensive overall. Reywas92^Talk 21:45, 27 February 2019 (UTC)

  Not all the nuclear tests in Australia were at Maralinga; they were held at Emu and Montebello as well. But these tests are covered by the articles on them (Operation Hurricane, Operation Totem and Operation Mosaic) Hawkeye7 (discuss) 22:52, 27 February 2019 (UTC)

@Reywas92: Wondering if you can followup on whether you support or oppose the topic nomination. GamerPro64 00:57, 11 May 2019 (UTC)

Oh that's from a while ago! I do support but I would still encourage @Hawkeye7: to merge/improve Nuclear weapons tests in Australia; I'm not sure if that should be part of the topic. Also British_nuclear_tests_at_Maralinga#In_popular_culture needs clean-up/referencing. Reywas92^Talk 03:53, 11 May 2019 (UTC)
