Talk:Ice diving

message: For third paragraph there is a special harness mentioned. It is not widely used nor necessary for safe procedures. Actually additional harness means unnecessary slings. Widely used configuration is to tie the rope around the waist under other equipment.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.192.123.214 (talk) 22:53, 8 February 2013 (UTC)

thread_title: Introduction

message: Is the triangular hole due to ease of sawing or is there another reason? One hole shown is round. Also the article has a technical style - I'd love to find a description to put the reader in the scene, saying something about the image of an ice diver with all the gear and the style of hole as well, without trawling through all the lists & stages to get there.

thread_title:  shape of hole 

message: 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  is optional.Still some uncited and challenged material outstanding, but not much. Good enough for B-class, I think. 
The article reasonably covers the topic, and does not contain obvious omissions or inaccuracies. It contains a large proportion of the material necessary for , although some sections may need expansion, and some less important topics may be missing.
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.Structure looks OK. 
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. 
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.Quite nicely illustrated. 
Not yet. Needs more references and a bit of clarification.• • • Peter (Southwood) (talk): 09:24, 21 December 2016 (UTC)

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: I check pages listed in :Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of :Ice diving's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.
Reference named "CMAS":
From British Underwater Sports Association: 
From Sub-Aqua Association: 
From Underwater hockey: 
I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT⚡ 20:47, 29 April 2020 (UTC)
