Class B rating
[edit]The content of this article was split from the excessively large B-class article Decompression (diving). There was no immediately obvious reason why it should not retain B-class rating as the split section was reasonably complete at the time and suitable for a stand-alone article. • • • Peter (Southwood) (talk): 14:37, 14 March 2013 (UTC)
Lede intro sect too long
[edit]Per WP:LEAD, the lede intro sect should be max four (4) paragraphs.
This one is eight (8) paragraphs.
That's a bit long.
Could cause symptoms of TL;DR.
Strongly suggest trimming it down to size of four, succinct paragraphs, of four or five sentences each.
Good luck,

Suggestions
[edit]Sorry this has waited so long for a GA review. I'm not up to it right now but I do have a couple quick suggestions:
- In the bulleted time line, choose either present tense (e.g. "Thalmann extends use of E-L model"), past tense ("Dr. Andrew Smith first used the terms"), or noun construction ("Introduction of recompression tables") and stick with one throughout.
- Define uncommon terms inline (e.g. "supersaturation") or at least link to articles on them.
- Rephrase: "A large number of decompression experiments were performed" it should be a large number was but that sounds weird.
Sorry to just drive by like this, good luck and good work so far! delldot ∇. 03:10, 2 January 2016 (UTC)

I am about to start reviewing this article. Disclaimer, I am part of the GA cup and I know next to nothing about decompression other than it involves people getting wet ;-) but that also allows me to take an outsider's view of the article to ensure it's a Good Article for all audiences, not just those that already know a lot about the subject. MPJ-US 12:51, 2 March 2016 (UTC)
- Thanks for taking this on, however after about 4 months of waiting, I now have 3 articles simultaneously in GA review, and a business trip next week where I may be cut off from the net for a few days, so things may appear to go a bit slowly at times. I will do what I can. Cheers, • • • Peter (Southwood) (talk): 17:20, 2 March 2016 (UTC)
- I believe the saying is "Feast or famine", nothing for months and now all at once. No worries I will work with you on the timing etc. we'll get it figured out. MPJ-US 21:08, 2 March 2016 (UTC)

Okay let's start with the obvious - the GA Toolbox resources

[edit]- Peer Review
- Per Wikipedia:Manual of Style (numbers) you need a between a measurement and it's unit unless they are in a conversion template.
- This is not entirely consistent with MoS, which as far as I understand it, only requires no-break spaces when the unit is an abbreviation. I left a massage about this on the peer review talk page, but apparently there is no-one available to fix it. I will ensure that all abbreviated units get a no-break space. Cheers, • • • Peter (Southwood) (talk): 17:20, 2 March 2016 (UTC)
- Done all that I found, but may have missed one or two. Please feel free to either fix or point out any I have missed. • • • Peter (Southwood) (talk): 20:41, 2 March 2016 (UTC)

- The tool calls out "Please make the spelling of English words consistent with either American or British spelling, depending upon the subject of the article." Please let me know which version is the correct intended version so I can highlght any issues with this

- Per WP:WIAFA, this article's table of contents (ToC) may be too long – consider shrinking it down by merging short sections or using a proper system of daughter pages as per Wikipedia:Summary style

Suggestons from delldot
[edit]These were on the talk page, I agree with them.
- In the bulleted time line, choose either present tense (e.g. "Thalmann extends use of E-L model"), past tense ("Dr. Andrew Smith first used the terms"), or noun construction ("Introduction of recompression tables") and stick with one throughout.
- Looks like a reasonable thing to do. I will start soon. • • • Peter (Southwood) (talk): 17:20, 2 March 2016 (UTC)

- What is "FSW" an abbreviation for?
- Should be fsw, and it stands for feet of seawater, a unit of pressure common in diving, but seldom used anywhere else. Decompression chamber internal pressure gauges and pneumofathometers (depth gauges for surface supplied divers which use an open ended tube full of air to measure the diver's depth) are usually calibrated in fsw and msw (metres of seawater). Not actually a depth, so not appropriate in that specific context. I have changed them to ft as the text refers to depth, not pressure. • • • Peter (Southwood) (talk): 14:10, 3 March 2016 (UTC)

- I am really impressed with the amount of work you've already put in this. Side note the subscription inclusion is actually super easy. Just add "subscription = yes|" in the cite template and that's all. Keep up the good work it's close to GA status. MPJ-US 03:09, 4 March 2016 (UTC)
- Fortunately I retain some memory of where to find most of the content. Most of the work has been finding the right page. Some of those references are long and not what you would call "light reading". Even worse, some take about 10 minutes to download. Most of the easy ones are done, I may have to do a bit more heavy searching for some of the remainder. Nevertheless I remain confident that it is all possible. • • • Peter (Southwood) (talk): 07:26, 4 March 2016 (UTC)

As far as I can tell, I have completed everything so far except the one citation for the first NAUI tables.

- wow you have been a tornado of activities. It is looking great right now, i will check it over tonight and see what is left. If the section without a source is l then we'll see what we.can figure out for that. MPJ-US 20:38, 4 March 2016 (UTC)
I am generally satisfied with the updates, we just have one issue left. If you rephrase the statement as simply "The first NAUI tables were issued in the early 1980s.", then find a source on the publication date then you can always add it what they're based on if you ever get the source? Just a suggestion since it's probably easier to find the publication date and you don't have unsourced content in it. Oh and first time NAUI is used please expand the abbreviation. Just putting the article on hold while you decide on how to address the final issue. MPJ-US 11:16, 5 March 2016 (UTC)
- Unfortunately, the date is just as unciteable as the tables' origins. I cannot find a reference for the date either, other than the fairly obvious inference that it was before the second version. The easiest solution is to just remove the statement directly referring to the earliest tables, and just imply them by referring to the second issue, which is referenced in Huggins 1992.
- Besides that, are you satisfied that the article is accessible to a reasonably intelligent and literate layperson, which I am assuming you to be in the absence of evidence to the contrary? Please point out any areas which could or should be clarified. If there are significant sections which appear to assume an unrealistic prerequisite background, I would like to know which they are, so I can work on them.

- Does the table itself have like a copyright date or anything? if not then yeah by listing the second version it is clear that there was a first version at some point before. I will read through the article once more, checking to see if there are sufficient links for anything that may be unclear to me. The article does not have to explain everything to me but give me the ability to dig deeper if I am unfamiliar and would like to know more. So I will do a final read through with that specifically in mind. MPJ-US 15:21, 5 March 2016 (UTC)
- I have just found a reference while searching for Nu-Way tables. Go figure...
- I don't know where to get a copy of the original tables to check for copyright. I have not seen them for over 20 years. They are printed on a plastic card, not the sort of thing found in a library. • • • Peter (Southwood) (talk): 07:30, 7 March 2016 (UTC)

- FIrst time the abbreviation DCS is used (timeline, 1847) it should be spelled out, then it can be abbreviated.

- Is there any links for the following
- Nu-Way
- The only thing I could find is Nu-Way tables for sale. I don't know if they produce anything else, or even if they are still selling the same tables. There seem to be several companies called Nu-Way or similar, none of which look very likely as suppliers of diving equipment. No Wikilinks appear to be available. • • • Peter (Southwood) (talk): 08:39, 7 March 2016 (UTC)

Reading through the article I get a sense of everything or a link where I am lost, except the few items above. Yes it's a scientific article and it's using scienc jargon but that cannot be helped, there is a certain level that's expected and I think you generally strike that balance well.

- I hope you have found it interesting. • • • Peter (Southwood) (talk): 08:39, 7 March 2016 (UTC)
- It was very interesting, I had only a passing knowledge of this - mainly what you see on film and stuff. So based on the latest updates I am satisfied that this now hits all the criteria for a Good Article. Congratulations I am going to promote this to Good Article status.
