Changes in fitness to dive on older absolutes

DAN has standards out now, (http://www.diversalertnetwork.org/medical/articles/CNS_Considerations_in_Scuba_Diving) that show more leeway for some of these absolute no diving conditions. Should changes be made that allow for these? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 184.186.197.38 (talk) 16:19, 30 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Maybe. What changes are you suggesting? • • • Peter (Southwood) (talk): 06:55, 2 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

B-Class review

B
  1. The article is suitably referenced, with inline citations. It has reliable sources, and any important or controversial material which is likely to be challenged is cited. Any format of inline citation is acceptable: the use of <ref> tags and citation templates such as {{cite web}} is optional.

  2. Quite well referenced. checkY
  3. The article reasonably covers the topic, and does not contain obvious omissions or inaccuracies. It contains a large proportion of the material necessary for an A-Class article, although some sections may need expansion, and some less important topics may be missing.

  4. Covers the topic in reasonable detail. checkY
  5. The article has a defined structure. Content should be organized into groups of related material, including a lead section and all the sections that can reasonably be included in an article of its kind.

  6. Adequately defined structure. checkY
  7. The article is reasonably well-written. The prose contains no major grammatical errors and flows sensibly, but it does not need to be "brilliant". The Manual of Style does not need to be followed rigorously.

  8. Looks OK to me. checkY
  9. The article contains supporting materials where appropriate. Illustrations are encouraged, though not required. Diagrams and an infobox etc. should be included where they are relevant and useful to the content.

  10. There are a few relevant images. checkY
  11. The article presents its content in an appropriately understandable way. It is written with as broad an audience in mind as possible. Although Wikipedia is more than just a general encyclopedia, the article should not assume unnecessary technical background and technical terms should be explained or avoided where possible.

  12. Looks OK to me. checkY

Meets all criteria. Upgrade to B-class. • • • Peter (Southwood) (talk): 11:06, 1 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Splitting out #Effects of drugs

This section will eventually be big enough to justify a separate article. Suggested title: Medications and drugs in diving. This title may be a bit open, as drugs used for treatment of diving disorders would be included, and I don't think that is what we want. Treatments belong with the articles on the disorders.

Possible more specific alternative: Effects of drugs on fitness to dive.

Other suggestions welcome.
