Underwater diving navboxes

Hi Andreas.sta,

I have removed the Underwater diving navbox you added to the NACD article because it does not include organisations. However this has shown up the need for an appropriate navbox for diver associations, clubs etc, and possibly other aspects of organised diving. If you are interested in discussing possibilities please reply either here, on my user page or on the portal talk page for Portal:Underwater diving.
There is a Wikiproject for scuba and other diving you might be interested in joining, at WP:SCUBA.
Another point, could you add more in-line references for the training details you added to the NACD and SDI articles. One per subsection would be about minimum for this application. It is not that I question the information, just that as time goes by other edits will be made and the origins get lost. Cheers, Peter (Southwood) ^(talk): 09:16, 11 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Peter,

Thanks for letting me know about the edits. The Diver training navbox looks very similar to the Diver organizations navbox, however I will be happy to assist with any new project.
Will be joining the Wikiproject straight after I finish this message and will add the references mentioned as well.

Hi Andreas.sta, Nice to see a new user on the scuba project. There is so much to do that you can just browse a bit until you find:

Something that needs work that you can improve,
Something missing that you can add.
If you disagree with something, you can change it as long as you can reliably reference your change. If the original statement is referenced you should either leave it in and add the alternative information from your source or explain why the original statement is wrong or misrepresents its source.

Before making an edit that might be considered controversial, it may help to read the article talk page, other times it doesnt help at all. This is a fairly anarchic environment in some ways, but it has its traditions, and one is that you are judged by the work you do and the way you fit in, not by who you might be in real life. Once you come to terms with some of the restrictions it is quite a pleasant place to work.

Good luck, Peter (Southwood) ^(talk): 07:43, 12 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Coast guard, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Illicit (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Speedy deletion nomination of Emergency Response Unit (Cyprus)

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Emergency Response Unit (Cyprus), requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, group, product, service, person, or point of view and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Organizations for more information.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator.
