I am about to start reviewing this article. Disclaimer, I am part of the GA cup and I know next to nothing about decompression other than it involves people getting wet ;-) but that also allows me to take an outsider's view of the article to ensure it's a Good Article for all audiences, not just those that already know a lot about the subject.  MPJ-US  12:51, 2 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for taking this on, however after about 4 months of waiting, I now have 3 articles simultaneously in GA review, and a business trip next week where I may be cut off from the net for a few days, so things may appear to go a bit slowly at times. I will do what I can. Cheers, • • • Peter (Southwood) (talk): 17:20, 2 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Okay let's start with the obvious - the GA Toolbox resources

Peer Review
This is not entirely consistent with MoS, which as far as I understand it, only requires no-break spaces when the unit is an abbreviation. I left a massage about this on the peer review talk page, but apparently there is no-one available to fix it. I will ensure that all abbreviated units get a no-break space. Cheers, • • • Peter (Southwood) (talk): 17:20, 2 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Done all that I found, but may have missed one or two. Please feel free to either fix or point out any I have missed. • • • Peter (Southwood) (talk): 20:41, 2 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • The tool calls out "Please make the spelling of English words consistent with either American or British spelling, depending upon the subject of the article." Please let me know which version is the correct intended version so I can highlght any issues with this
Lets make it British English, though I am South African and not fussy on this point. • • • Peter (Southwood) (talk): 17:20, 2 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Per WP:WIAFA, this article's table of contents (ToC) may be too long – consider shrinking it down by merging short sections or using a proper system of daughter pages as per Wikipedia:Summary style
OK, I will see what looks reasonable. If you have any specific recommendations go ahead and recommend. • • • Peter (Southwood) (talk): 17:20, 2 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
I have limited TOC to level 3 headers, which seems to work quite well in this case.• • • Peter (Southwood) (talk): 20:12, 2 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Copyvio Detector
  • Green tickY comes back as "unlikely" so that's a positive
Disambig Links
  • Green tickY no problems
External links
  • Source #9 is dead
I will try to fix. • • • Peter (Southwood) (talk): 17:20, 2 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Fixed • • • Peter (Southwood) (talk): 20:22, 2 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Link at suunto.com is dead
I will try to fix. • • • Peter (Southwood) (talk): 17:20, 2 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Source 20, 22 and the "sciencemag.org" links come back with a change to the url, to prevent link rot I suggest those get updated
I will see what I can do. • • • Peter (Southwood) (talk): 17:20, 2 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • The stacks.iop.org link in #19 requires subscription, I believe that can be indicated in the citation template.
New one to me, How should that be done? • • • Peter (Southwood) (talk): 17:20, 2 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • 18, 19, 44, 48, 50, 81, 82 and 87 have bare urls showing in the citations, that should be fixed
OK • • • Peter (Southwood) (talk): 17:20, 2 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Suggestons from delldot

These were on the talk page, I agree with them.

  • In the bulleted time line, choose either present tense (e.g. "Thalmann extends use of E-L model"), past tense ("Dr. Andrew Smith first used the terms"), or noun construction ("Introduction of recompression tables") and stick with one throughout.
Looks like a reasonable thing to do. I will start soon. • • • Peter (Southwood) (talk): 17:20, 2 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Done. • • • Peter (Southwood) (talk): 19:50, 2 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Define uncommon terms inline (e.g. "supersaturation") or at least link to articles on them.
OK, Please let me know if I miss any. • • • Peter (Southwood) (talk): 17:20, 2 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Rephrase: "A large number of decompression experiments were performed" it should be a large number was but that sounds weird.
I will take a look.• • • Peter (Southwood) (talk): 17:20, 2 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Changed. • • • Peter (Southwood) (talk): 19:54, 2 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

General stuff

There is an "External links" section but no content? how about just removing it?

OK • • • Peter (Southwood) (talk): 17:20, 2 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Someone beat me to it. Thanks, whoever it was. • • • Peter (Southwood) (talk): 20:02, 2 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

More to come as I work through this article MPJ-US  13:10, 2 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
