The fact that Nixon ordered the B-52's up was certainly known before the 2000s. I remember it being widely discussed in articles about DEFCON in the 1990s. For instance, this book from 1990 clearly talks about the event. Maury Markowitz ( talk) 19:33, 9 December 2011 (UTC)

I am currently editing the entire article with newfound and properly referenced information for my university course. At the moment, I am experience excessive issues trying to edit, cite sources, and insert templates due to my lack of knowledge with code. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Lche0142 ( talk • contribs) 15:26, 25 May 2020 (UTC)
I've finished editing and adding my information on top of the previous contributor. I've done this as apart of my university assignment. I have kept what was valuable as well as fixed some technical template issues (ie. unlinking infoboxes, references and the introductory descriptions). I have also made adjustments by ridding of broken links, sourceless statements and a few other small changes. I've editted some more information into the infobox, attached a declassified document image and added a 2000 word equivalent in regards to four major content blocks (Background [State of the Vietnam war, Preparation], Purpose, Madman theory, Implications [Giant Lance's success, Social perception to nuclear warfare]).
If there are any errors or questions please contact me before making any major changes, as the content has yet to be marked for my university assignment. Many thanks everyone. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Lche0142 ( talk • contribs) 04:19, 27 May 2020 (UTC)

The phrase seems odd, as the climate of Moscow seems warmer than would be compatible with glaciers. (In summertime there are months where it's above the freezing point of water - even the record low shows that.) It also seems to be based on a single source. Maybe it's based on a cliché that Russia is cold everywhere.
Looking at , List of glaciers in Russia and List_of_glaciers_in_Europe#Russia, it seems that few, if any, glaciers are near Moscow. though I'm not an expert on Russian geography. Autarch ( talk) 17:26, 11 June 2020 (UTC)
This article is verbose, repetitive and riddled with errors. It reads almost like a cut & paste from various sources, with little discernible organization and English phrased like it was written by a foreigner. I think a rewrite is in order. I wasn’t aware Richard Nixon was involved in the Cuban Missile Crisis... Bobkustofawitshz ( talk) 00:51, 24 June 2020 (UTC)

Nixon was not President during the Cuban Missile Crisis (which can be linked via Wikipedia). Change the reference to "John F. Kennedy" or "Nixon's predecessor." Drwong64 ( talk) 15:04, 19 January 2023 (UTC)
This is an overhaul of the original article on “Operation Giant Lance.” Its author should be commended for taking on an important topic, but the resulting article was vague, incorrect, and confusing at key points, all making it difficult to fix. The new version is an attempt to cover the same ground using more precise language and the more extensive citation of primary sources and secondary sources Nixon administration policy during the Vietnam War.
