[edit] Valsalva maneuver?

Hi Mark,

Shouldn't Valsva manoeuvre be Valsalva maneuver or Valsalva manoeuvre? The 'maneuver' spelling already has an article, which you might want to merge with yours.

Best regards Rasmus Faber 11:26, 11 Feb 2004 (UTC)


Since you did not reply, I attempted the merge myself. You might want to check it :-) Rasmus Faber 14:14, 11 Feb 2004 (UTC)
I have left Valsva manoeuvre as a redirect to the other article. It is normal to leave 'alternate' spellings as redirects. Rasmus Faber 15:40, 11 Feb 2004 (UTC)


Hi. Mark. I noticed that you created Royal Artillery. I'm amazed that this hadn't already been created, but as it can never be more than a duplcate of the Royal Regiment of Artillery, I'm going to redirect the page to that article. Mintguy (T) 10:24, 25 Feb 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Respiration

Hi Mark, I have started compiling a List of physiology topics: respiration - if you would like to add to the diving section? Would be a great help. Thanks, Kosebamse 13:21, 26 Feb 2004 (UTC)

Hi Mark, this has moved to Respiration (physiology) which is standard format. The old page is a redirect see talk: List of physiology topics: respiration. I dont think that diving belongs under this subcatagory. This is still a useful subject though so keep up the good work.

PS. If you are going to do a page such as the effect of diving on the physiology of respiration (this name is too long) it could link from Respiration (physiology).Bensaccount 23:15, 27 Feb 2004 (UTC)

You made an edit to Saunders-Roe Princess in which you mentioned Calshot Spit. Your wording's a little unclear; how many were stored there, and for how long? Where were the others stored? —Morven 21:45, 19 Mar 2004 (UTC)

Do not blank pages. Continuing to do so will get you banned.

[edit] The Humungous Image Tagging Project

Hi. You've helped with the Wikipedia:WikiProject Wiki Syntax, so I thought it worth alerting you to the latest and greatest of Wikipedia fixing project, User:Yann/Untagged Images, which is seeking to put copyright tags on all of the untagged images. There are probably, oh, thirty thousand or so to do (he said, reaching into the air for a large figure). But hey: they're images ... you'll get to see lots of random pretty pictures. That must be better than looking for at at and the the, non? You know you'll love it. best wishes --Tagishsimon (talk)

[edit] Article Licensing

Hi, I've started a drive to get users to multi-license all of their contributions that they've made to either (1) all U.S. state, county, and city articles or (2) all articles, using the Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike (CC-by-sa) v1.0 and v2.0 Licenses or into the public domain if they prefer. The CC-by-sa license is a true free documentation license that is similar to Wikipedia's license, the GFDL, but it allows other projects, such as WikiTravel, to use our articles. Since you are among the top 1000 Wikipedians by edits, I was wondering if you would be willing to multi-license all of your contributions or at minimum those on the geographic articles. Over 90% of people asked have agreed. For More Information:

To allow us to track those users who muli-license their contributions, many users copy and paste the "{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}" template into their user page, but there are other options at Template messages/User namespace. The following examples could also copied and pasted into your user page:

Option 1
I agree to [[Wikipedia:Multi-licensing|multi-license]] all my contributions, with the exception of my user pages, as described below:
{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}

OR

Option 2
I agree to [[Wikipedia:Multi-licensing|multi-license]] all my contributions to any [[U.S. state]], county, or city article as described below:
{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}

Or if you wanted to place your work into the public domain, you could replace "{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}" with "{{MultiLicensePD}}". If you only prefer using the GFDL, I would like to know that too. Please let me know what you think at my talk page. It's important to know either way so no one keeps asking. -- Ram-Man (comment| talk)

[edit] About an image you uploaded.

Howdy! I'm here because of the Humungous Image Tagging Project, and I'm curious about the copyright status of an image you uploaded. The picture in question is Image:12 and 3 litre diving cylinders.JPG, and it doesn't currently have an image copyright tag on it. If you could tag it with something to let us know what the copyright is, that would be great. A couple of common tags are {{gfdl}}, if you made the picture and release it under the GFDL, or {{fairuse}} if you claim fair use. For a full page of these, you can go to the image copyright tags page. If none of this makes sense, you can leave a message describing the coypright status on my talk page, and I'll tag it for you. Thanks much! ^_^ --Sparky the Seventh Chaos 23:33, Dec 9, 2004 (UTC)


[edit] Unverified images

Hi! Thanks for uploading the following image:

I notice it currently doesn't have an image copyright tag. Could you add one to let us know its copyright status?

[edit] Marine war graves

Hi Mark,

I've just noticed your edit to war grave today. I don't suppose you know the details of the 16 ship wrecks so listed. If so, it would probably make the basis for an article - I dare say the folks at Wikipedia:WikiProject_Ships would also be interested in helping. (I'm a little surprised the number of ships isn't larger). Also isn't the designation much larger than a British thing.-- Solipsist 21:04, 1 Jun 2005 (UTC)

[edit] RNLI-photos

Hi Mark,
first sorry about my bad English, I´m a member of the German Wikipedia and I mostly write articles about sea-rescuing. For e.g. I wrote the article "RNLI" and I used your picture. Do you have other photos, which show vehicles of the RNLI? I´m very interested in that.
Greeetings from Germany --Grimmi 5 July 2005 18:40 (UTC)


Hi Mark,
that´s fine - my email-adress is grimmi@grimmi-online.de
May I use some of the pics eventually on my homepage? The main content of the page is about sea-rescuing in the world.
Have a nice evening and thanks so much --Grimmi 5 July 2005 19:14 (UTC)

Please watch what you are linking the Marine(armed forces) that you are using is in most cases not specific enough. You should be using United States Marine Corps (fixed spelling, Tawker). If you need help with anything let me know and I'll help where able.--Looper5920 22:44, 23 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Drysuit inflation gases discussion

Hi Mark, I've noticed that you're a regular contributer to the diving related articles, and appear to be a tech diver. (I'm assuming that's your Inspiration in the photo you uploaded.) There's been an addition to the Diving suit article stating that normoxic argox is sometimes used as a suit inflation gas, as it has the advantage that it can be breathed in an emergency. I think this is a completely ridiculous claim, and have started a discussion about it's removal on that article's talk page. Would you like to comment on this? Thanks. -- David Scarlett(Talk) 02:26, 1 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Professional Diving

I know you keep an eye on the old Commercial Diving page, so I thought I would let you know that I've finally finished re-writing it (almost a year later) and would appreciate if you could just run through it and see if I've made any mistakes.

[edit] Rule of thirds

Please stop and learn the correct way to move and/or create disambiguation pages. Your edits are being reverted; you can't just copy the contents of a page to a new page of your choice, abandoning the talk history. And moving someone else's page so you can use its name as a disambig page is bad form. Instead, create Rule of thirds (disambiguation) and add a distinguish tag to Rule of thirds.

current copy

Hi. I've lined up the items on Image:Light characteristics.PNG and made the background of the text transparent so that it appears more naturally on most backgrounds. I've released my changes as public domain like your original copy. (I'm not sure my changes are even enough to be copyrightable, but I added the tag anyway.) I was thinking of making an SVG image for each beacon type, but I don't know Inkscape or SVG well enough to make really nice images yet. --Closeapple 05:31, 28 January 2007 (UTC)
