Good article for being anew user. I've gone through and just reformatted and reworded a couple of things. Other than that a solid contribution. Keep it up!. MBisanz talk 17:22, 9 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Welcome

Hi there RexxS. Welcome to Wikipedia. Looking at your contributions and reading your newly created userpage, you might be interested in joining the SCUBA WikiProject. They work as a collaborative team to bring/keep other articles up to Wikipedia standards, and I'm sure your expertise would be much appreciated there if you haven't discovered them already! They have a "to do" list that you may be able to help with as well. Thanks for your contributions. I hope you like it here and decide to stay! Keeper | 76 18:03, 9 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] WP:SCUBA Newsletter Issue #1

Welcome
Since this is the first issue of the WP:SCUBA Newsletter, I wanted to take a moment to welcome you as a charter member. We are starting a project with the goal of organizing an enormous amount of information, but as participation in WP:SCUBA expands, so will our editing power through collaboration. Please feel free to invite other interested Wikipedians to join our project.

Categorization of WP:SCUBA Articles
I believe that we need to adopt a categorization system to begin organizing these articles. Some categories exist, such as Category:Diving equipment, and can be utilized. The end goal should be to have a set of general categories (less than ten I would hope) that can be used to categorize ALL articles that fall under the scope of this project. Subcategories can then be utilized where needed. This will also help us identify where work needs to be done to further the WikiProject as a whole. Please post comments at the bottom of this page and let me know what you think.

Article rating for WP:SCUBA
As you are hopefully aware, we place the {{WPSCUBA}} template on the talk page of any article that falls within the scope of WP:SCUBA. It is a standard practice to use the Project Template to rate articles as stub, start, B, GA, A, etc. I invite you to research what is involved in setting up a rating and reporting system for WP:SCUBA as we currently do not rate our articles. This will help us identify the most important articles to our cause, and easily see which articles need the most work. Please feel free to post any questions on my talk page.

YMCA SCUBA
It has been my personal goal to start creating articles to cover all of the major scuba diver certification agencies, and categorize them as Category:Diver training agency. On the List of diver training organizations YMCA SCUBA links to YMCA (diving organization), which then redirects to YMCA. The problem is that the YMCA article doesn't discuss their recreational diving program anywhere. I would like to start a separate YMCA Scuba article using the information on their Official Site, and fix the redirect at YMCA (diving organization) to point to the new article. I invite you to post your thoughts and opinions on these actions on my talk page.

[edit] I replied to your question on Talk:Heliox

Hey there RexxS, you seem to be settling in quite nicely. I replied to your stub and unref questions here. cheers, Keeper | 76 16:38, 10 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] What do to about a Spammer

RexxS, sorry for the delay in responding to your question. You can find Wikipedia's policy on Spammers at WP:SPAM. I recommend you take a look at Warning Spammers specifically. You will use the template on this page to warn Scuba diva on his/her talk page. Let me know if you have any other questions. Gr0ff (talk) 17:42, 4 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Decompression sickness

I'm not going to deface the nice article you've improved with another ugly maintenance tag. At the time I added the {{refimprove}} tag back in January, the article was quite long, but was only supported by a single reference. You've done well. Very well in fact. Cheers. -- Longhair\talk 07:22, 26 March 2008 (UTC)
