message: :Image:CMAS150x120.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page.  Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 04:04, 2 June 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Fair use rationale for Image:CMAS150x120.jpg

message: The final paragraph of the article's first section is clearly biased, describing CMAS as superior to other dive training organisations. The point of view that the paragraph represents is a common one among CMAS divers, less so among divers trained according to other systems. It is true that there are differences between the various organisations and their philosophies - sometimes significant ones - but the current way of describing them is hardly NPOV. -- jla (talk) 15:48, 21 June 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I also found that paragraph rather unsatisfactory. It might be worth noting, however, that CMAS is not a dive training organisation. It has many functions and one of them is in setting standards for diver training. These then become minimum standards for national member training organisations. It would probably be a better analogy to compare CMAS to ANSI in that respect. It can be shown by comparing, for example CMAS 1* and 2* course content with PADI OW and AOW, that the CMAS content is more comprehensive (e.g. rescue and first aid skills). Nevertheless, that is WP:Synthesis, so not usable in order to verify the paragraph. The best course of action for the article would be to find reliable third-party sources that have made the statements found in that paragraph of the article - and preferably to source the opposite POV as well. I'll tag a request for citation and see if anybody can find any. Failing that, I'd support removal of the paragraph. --RexxS (talk) 21:21, 21 June 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: The use of the word 'the' in the introductory paragraph implies it has some form of official standing.  In the UK, BSAC is recognised by the Sports Council as the governing body of sub-aqua diving but agencies such as PADI, who appear (in my opinion) to be becoming the most popular choice of new divers, are not bound by their rules in any way.  I have edited accordingly. Ganglandboss (talk) 12:22, 6 January 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  Neutrality of introductory section 

message: * Redraft opening and move content re ‘recreational scuba training’ to a new section entitled ‘Technical Committee’.  Also move the following tag to the ‘Technical Committee’ section’ - 
*Rename section ‘History’ as ‘Origins’ as the current section only discusses the origins of CMAS.
* Add new section entitled ‘Organisation’ and add a discussion about the structure and operation of CMAS
* Relocate existing section entitled ‘Qualifications and certifications’ to ‘Technical Committee’ section.
* rename section entitled ‘Sports’ as ‘Sport Committee’, delete Underwater target shooting as this is not currently offered as a sport by CMAS and rename Underwater photography as visual.  Arrange all of the sports in the same order as shown on the CMAS website.  Also add link to Underwater sports page.
* ‘See also’ section - delete links to Scuba diving, Snorkelling and Underwater hockey as links to these pages already exist in the body of the page.  Delete link to History of swimming page as there appears to be no content of relevance on that to CMAS.
* Arrange the sections for Sport Committee, Technical Committee and Scientific Committee in order of seniority.  Cowdy001 (talk) 04:38, 28 August 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  Changes dated 28 August 2012 

message: Add the following sub-sections 'Role', 'Scientific diving codes' and 'Qualifications'.  Revise the 'role' of committee to improve clarity.  Para-phase the preparation of the UNESCO code which UNESCO funded but which the SC prepared in its entirety.  Expand the content re CMAS Scientific Diver to explain the various levels of training et al.Cowdy001 (talk) 08:51, 2 March 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  Upgrade of  the Scientific Committee section 

message: I've removed an old neutrality tag from this page that appears to have no active discussion per the instructions at Template:POV:
::This template is not meant to be a permanent resident on any article. Remove this template whenever:
::#There is consensus on the talkpage or the NPOV Noticeboard that the issue has been resolved
::#It is not clear what the neutrality issue is, and no satisfactory explanation has been given
::#In the absence of any discussion, or if the discussion has become dormant.
Since there's no evidence of ongoing discussion, I'm removing the tag for now. If discussion is continuing and I've failed to see it, however, please feel free to restore the template and continue to address the issues. Thanks to everybody working on this one! -- Khazar2 (talk) 02:40, 27 June 2013 (UTC)
