[edit] Templates
What do you think about that template? I just don't know how to make new tmplates. Can you help me with that? Thank you already. :) ~~Yegor Chernyshev 06.10.07 02.59 ~~

This user is interested in SCUBA diving, Surface supplied diving, and its history. |
I think it looks great! I copied your code over to http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:User_SCUBA and you can access the template by putting {{User_SCUBA}} onto any User page! ~~ Gr0ff 06.10.07 22:08 ~~
Oh? That's fine! Thank you very much. ~~Yegor Chernyshev 07.10.07 01.25 ~~ —Preceding unsigned comment added by 62.168.235.73 (talk) 19:25, 7 October 2007 (UTC)
Here are some more templates. Pretty as I think. ~~Yegor Chernyshev 15 oct. 07 23:27 ~~
You can edit it as you think it will look good. Especially in colours ~~Yegor Chernyshev 15 oct. 07 23:44 ~~
The top two new userboxes look good. However, if we are going to endorse agency-specific userboxes, we should probably be fair and make NAUI and SSI userboxes also.
The last one is very similar to an existing userbox created by UBX at {{User:UBX/Scuba Diver 2}} - Gr0ff 21:03, 15 October 2007 (UTC)
What we REALLY need are some "This user is a member of WP:SCUBA" userboxes. We may need to find some new SCUBA-related images to go in them. Let me know what you think! - Gr0ff 21:33, 15 October 2007 (UTC)
For the NAUI userbox i can't find proper image. The existing image for NAUI is not suitable. For SSI I'd like it to be black, but i don't know how to colour text in white. The best variant for NAUI as i think is their circle emblem with the human, and diver in center.

For WP:SCUBA I need some examples of other such userboxes. And yes, I think we should upload some pictures for that. (Just do not know yet wht exactly). ~~Yegor Chernyshev 16 oct. 07 12:09 ~~
Also I think we should create a userbox for TDI (Tecnical Diving International). Due to that there is no wikipedia article for that association there also no picture for their emblem. So I'd like to ask you to upload an emblem for TDI so we can create proper template. Also I think it'll be better to use the white colour as background for an Alfa flag in {{User:UBX/Scuba Diver 2}}
~~Yegor Chernyshev 17 oct. 2007 01:56 ~~ —Preceding comment was added at 19:56, 16 October 2007 (UTC)
See the Project page for updated Agency-related templates. Feel free to edit the source template if you think the colors are off. I'll look around for some info on TDI, but if we're going to upload a picture, we'll need to create a good start for an article to use it in. - Gr0ff 20:06, 16 October 2007 (UTC)
Examples of other Project-member userboxes that we could mimic:
| Source Code | Output | ||
| {{User dogproject-en}} | Removed when added to Dog Project category | ||
| {{User WikiProject Aircraft}} |
|
- Gr0ff 20:10, 16 October 2007 (UTC)
Okay I got some ideas already. Look at userbox of WikiProject Aircraft. I think we need somethig alike. There are many variants mybe. For example: black contour of a diver on a white background. Or contour of a twinset, or single air tank on the white bacground. I think we should draw it ourself. What do you think about it? For example like this:

(Too bad but something.) Notice that this picture was redrawed by my from an IANTD logo (!). But there was a little differences. ~~Yegor Chernyshev 17 oct. 07 03:21 ~~
And here are five more templates. I did upload a smaler logo for IANTD as it was. But I'm not sure that that's alright with copyright. Check it please
- {{IANTD Diver}}
| This user is a certified Israeli Diving Federation diver. |
- {{IDF Diver}}
- {{SDI Diver}}
| This user is a certified Technical Diving International diver. |
- {{TDI Diver}}
- {{BSAC Diver}}
~~Yegor Chernyshev 17 oct. 07 02:21 ~~
Here it is.

Notice that the picture was taken from {{User Scuba Diver}}. And i'd like to make the colour of background under text like in {{User WikiProject Aircraft}} but I just don't know what the colour it is. :) --Yegor Chernyshev 23:58, 17 October 2007 (UTC)
Unfortunately, the use of logos in templates/userboxes is a violation of Wikipedia:Non-free content criteria policy #9: "Non-free content is allowed only in articles (not disambiguation pages), and only in article namespace, subject to exemptions." We need to remove the logos from these templates. - Fordan (talk) 04:25, 4 November 2007 (UTC)
- I've gone through and removed the logos from the templates, at least the ones listed on the main WP:SCUBA page. - Fordan (talk) 12:36, 7 November 2007 (UTC)
- Question/observation: We have now multiple orginisation template floating round. Is it not easier to come to one that we keep and the other that we ditch? like choose between:
or
| PADI |
PADI Open Water Diver |
?? I think it would give a more streamline feel to the whole thing or I'm I nitpicking?? Scubafish 14:28, 13 November 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Diving Helmets
Hi there, I am not sure if you can help of if this is the correct place to ask but please bare with me. A freidn of mine has just finished a degree in marine biology, part of their wish is to scuba dive with their work. Unfortunately they have a synus problem that reduces their ability to equalise pressures. There is a possible surgical solution, but this is by no means certain.
Am i correct in thinking if a diving helment is worn, although expensive, this would reduce the need of equalisation. Is the pressure inside the helmet kept at a constant pressure? Kind Regards —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.109.96.202 (talk) 08:33, 11 October 2007 (UTC)
Okay. Here it is. If a diver wear a standard diving dress (soft suit) the pressure in the suit will be equal to the pressure on the depth where the diver is. If it was not so then the pressure should crash the suit. So its a pity but seems that there will be a problem for your friend to dive in diving dress. There is an atmospheric diving suit where the pressure is equal to an atmospheric but it's very expensive and used only by specialists. But I think you better should ask some diving specialists for that problemm. ~~Yegor Chernyshev 17:37 11 october 2007~~
[edit] Yikes!
Looks like someone else was hard at work before we were!
Cool! Thats good work we need to use it! Hmmm. first. I'd like to feel all CMAS, BSAC, and PADI userboxes by Images of organizations. Than, two first userboxes are cool. I think we shold copy and straghtly use the second userbox. And maybe I'll change an WP:SCUBA with the picture from the first template. P.S. We should connect with that user he might be interested in this project. --Yegor Chernyshev 23:58, 17 October 2007 (UTC)
Hi the above userboxes were made by me (scubafish) using the template provided by Java7837 (did'nt know then that you could change that to your own!! Reason that I dont have images was due to the "Fair use rationale for the particular Images" thus I removed all the images and put text down. Also Yegor, I'm intrestted in helping out on the project if possible. Scubafish 11:36, 18 October 2007 (UTC)
Thats cool we need you. For the accept of using, and modifying templates above look here. And, Scubafish, I hope for succesfull collaboration. And straightly - first question: I'd like for {{User:Scubafish/userboxing/under-water}} userbox to have an opportunity to change the number of hours. from 1 till 999 or 10000 :). Is it possible? --Yegor Chernyshev 22:27, 18 October 2007 (UTC)
[edit] What do we need?
What do we need to create a normal WikiProject SCUBA? --Yegor Chernyshev 23:13 18 oct. 2007 (+5 GMT)
Great question! I'm guessing we simply need to get a Wikipedia administrator or two to support the project and just "move" the page to the real location.
- Gr0ff 19:52, 18 October 2007 (UTC)
It turns out that WE can move the project. I've officially moved the project from my userpage, to Wikipedia:WikiProject SCUBA.
-Gr0ff 21:58, 18 October 2007 (UTC)
That's cool, congratulations to everybody! --Yegor Chernyshev 22:56 19 oct. 2007 (+5 GMT) —Preceding comment was added at 16:56, 19 October 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Cool picture
Image:Three cilynder pump 01.jpg
Hey, I just uploaded a new pictures, and I'd like to show it to you. It's good, isn't it? :) -- Yegor Chernyshev 23:41 19 oct. 2007 (+5 (GMT))
This picture is quite good, and perfect for the Diver's pump article. Good work! Gr0ff 20:30, 14 November 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Categorization
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 below and let me know what you think. Gr0ff 20:28, 14 November 2007 (UTC)
[edit] To Do
I've done some edits to Diving regulator but I doubt I can bring much to the training agencies spaghetti. I thought I'd try browsing our related categories and found the page on Heliox which was marked as needing references. I've done that, but I'm unsure of the etiquette in removing the Unreferenced tag. Can someone guide me? Should someone be trawling the diving categories to look for articles to go on the To Do List? What is the criterion for marking a page as WP:Scuba?
Sorry to be asking so much, but I'm kinda new here. RexxS (talk) 02:55, 10 January 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Spammer
My apologies for not knowing what to do, but we have a new spammer on the block - see Scuba diva contributions. Seven edits in seven minutes, but unfortunately all spam. I've reverted one, the others have been cleaned up. Do we spend the time trying to explain to the user or some other action? RexxS (talk) 00:01, 12 January 2008 (UTC)
RexxS, I answered this question on your talk page. Thanks for looking out for Spammers! Gr0ff (talk) 17:46, 4 February 2008 (UTC)
[edit] YMCA Scuba
Does anyone know anywhere to get more information on YMCA Scuba, there isn't enough on the YMCA organization page for me to start an article with, IMO. DarthGriz98 02:56, 15 March 2008 (UTC)
