Talk:Human physiology of underwater diving

B-Class review

B

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. Y 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. Y 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. Y 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. Looks OK to me. Y 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. Has illustrations, though more would be nice. Y 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. I think so, let me know if you disagree. Try to be specific, so it can be fixed. Y

• Looks OK to me, so rating as B-class. • • • Peter (Southwood) ^(talk): 09:05, 30 July 2017 (UTC)
  • Still looks OK for B-Class after split. A few non-controversial references needed before nominating for GA. · · · Peter Southwood ^(talk): 13:50, 26 February 2020 (UTC)

Split and rename?

This article is getting a bit big following expansion of section on "Adaptation in other animals", which may end up being the largest part of the content once other animals than mammals are included, so I plan to split out the original content to Human physiology of underwater diving or similar, leaving the original title for the general topic. At some stage further splits may become desirable - the section on mammals could easily justify a full article, but that will be done when the other subsections on birds, reptiles and invertebrates have substantial content. Any constructive comments or suggestions may be added below. Useful and accessible references are needed for the content not yet written. · · · Peter Southwood ^(talk): 12:24, 17 February 2020 (UTC)

Possible titles:

1. Article on human physiology retated to diving:
   1. Human physiology of underwater diving
   2. Human physiology of diving
   3. Physiology of human diving
2. Article on general physiology related to diving:
   1. Diving physiology of marine animals
   2. Diving physiology of marine vertebrates
   3. Diving physiology of marine mammals
   4. Physiology of diving adaptations
   5. Physiology of underwater diving

If anyone has a preference for any of these titles, please specify which and why, otherwise I will use whatever seems best at the time. Other options may be suggested. I will probably make some of the others into redirects. · · · Peter Southwood ^(talk): 08:10, 20 February 2020 (UTC)

No comments in a week. I will assume no objections and make the split. · · · Peter Southwood ^(talk): 11:17, 24 February 2020 (UTC)
