Talk:Byford Dolphin

message: I advise people not to seek out the referenced article unless they have a strong stomach. It contains some disturbing photographs that would not be out of place at rotten.com. -- FP <talk><edits> 22:49, May 12, 2005 (UTC)

message: The dimensions of Byford Dolphin are given different values at https://exchange.dnv.com/exchange/main.aspx?extool=vessel&subview=dimensions&vesselid=09092 from those at http://www.fredolsen-energy.no/?aid=9048931 and http://www.fredolsen-energy.no/arch/_img/9073113.pdf, namely:
* Length: 110.1 m vs 355 ft (108,2 m)
* Breadth: 69.66 m vs 221 ft (67,4 m)
* Draught/Depth: 36.58 m vs 120 ft (36,6 m)
In addition, there is a mixture of en-us and en-gb spellings, as well as inconsistency between imperial (metric) and metric (imperial) conventions for quoting conversions. I'm going to regularise these to use the dimensions from Fred Olsen, metric (imperial) for the conversions, and assume en-gb spelling because the rig is working in the UK sector of the North Sea. --RexxS (talk) 23:15, 10 November 2010 (UTC)

message: The accident is so different from the actual specifications for the Byford Dolphin, and so notable on its own, that it should have its own page.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Whoop whoop pull up (talk • contribs) 00:00, 28 May 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: It already does have its own page: this one. The accident is most of what makes Byford Dolphin notable and removing it would make this parent article an non-notable stub. If you think anyone is likely to use or search for Byford Dolphin decompression, then a redirect to the section would be appropriate. The only sensible reason for splitting an article such as this into subtopics is when it becomes too large – and it's a long way short of that. --RexxS (talk) 03:21, 28 May 2011 (UTC)

thread_title:  Split proposal 

message: Is there any reason why the article does not name the divers and, rather, labels them as D1, D2, T1, T2, and so forth?  Is there some (legal?) reason why their names are not included in this article?  Would not the investigation and the names have been open to the public, during the subsequent years?  Does anyone know?  Thanks.  Joseph A. Spadaro (talk) 16:23, 5 November 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  Names 

message: Under the section titled "subsequent lawsuit", the article mentions "Clare Lucas, daughter of Roy Lucas".  However, nowhere in the article does it previously mention who Roy Lucas is.  This section strongly infers that Lucas was one of the deceased, who was involved in the accident.  Can someone clarify this within the artice?  This issue also relates to my question immediately above, about how this article uses anonymous labels (D1, D2, etc.), instead than the actual names of the divers.  Can anyone clarify this situation?  Thanks.  Joseph A. Spadaro (talk) 16:28, 5 November 2012 (UTC)
