There are uncited statements, including entire paragraphs. There are two "update needed" banners: one from 2021 and one from November 2025. Z1720 (talk) 15:47, 16 November 2025 (UTC)

On it. I will ensure that all currently uncited paragraphs are cited, and that the is no trailing uncited text. If there are claims within paragraphs or parts thereof which are currently cited but you wish to challenge, please tag them individually.

Sections tagged for expansion will be expanded if I can find appropriate sources. Both of the tags are reasonable requests as I am aware of information that would be appropriate for both. The update based on USNDM R7 should not be a problem, but the other about pressure distribution in the immersed body will depend on whether a source can be found. So far I have not been able to find one, which is a legitimate reason to leave it out, even in a GA.· · · Peter Southwood ^(talk): 18:03, 16 November 2025 (UTC)

Update on USNDM R7 done.· · · Peter Southwood ^(talk): 18:36, 16 November 2025 (UTC)

Expanded subsection with detailed explanation of pressuredistribution and transfer in an immersed body, but decided it was a bit too much detail for this article and put it in Diving physics instead · · · Peter Southwood ^(talk): 10:27, 17 November 2025 (UTC)

I have fixed all the obvious problems, and done a bit of copyediting and clarification. If there are any more issues, please tag or describe in sufficient detail to be actionable. If you think any links are needed, just make them. I can fix redlinks and ambiguous links. Cheers,· · · Peter Southwood ^(talk): 05:56, 18 November 2025 (UTC)

I may continue to add occasional links and make copy edits and minor improvements, but unless you specify further work as necessary, I consider the job done. Cheers,· · · Peter Southwood ^(talk): 08:22, 18 November 2025 (UTC)

I think this is done. Probably mispinged by replying to myself. Not sure how the details work. Cheers, · · · Peter Southwood ^(talk): 16:11, 22 November 2025 (UTC)

• @Pbsouthwood: I added a couple citation needed tags. The short, one-sentence paragraphs in "Bubble models started to become prevalent" should be merged together. The lead is much too long considering the length of the article body: this should be summarised more effectively and information that is not in the article body should be be moved and cited there.

  The short, one-sentence paragraphs in "Bubble models started to become prevalent" should be merged together - Why? · · · Peter Southwood ^(talk): 05:32, 23 November 2025 (UTC)

  Citations added. · · · Peter Southwood ^(talk): 05:43, 23 November 2025 (UTC)

  Which information is in the lead but not the article body? · · · Peter Southwood ^(talk): 05:46, 23 November 2025 (UTC)

  Done what I could find of moving information out of the lead and citing. If there is more let me know.

  Lead has been condensed slightly. · · · Peter Southwood ^(talk): 18:48, 23 November 2025 (UTC)

Z1720, PeterSouthwood is no longer able to edit WP. Let me know what your finding is on the current state of the article and I will close it. Bgsu98 (Talk) 04:37, 21 December 2025 (UTC)

Here are the remaining things that need to happen:

• A couple uncited statements need to be resolved.
• There are some long sections that need to be broken up.
• There are some short paragraphs that need to be merged together.

Overall, Bgsu98 its in OK shape but not GA status yet. Maybe we'll give it a week to see if another editor volunteers to address remaining concerns? Z1720 (talk) 14:48, 21 December 2025 (UTC)

Z1720: We can leave it open for a week if you want. Bgsu98 (Talk) 15:01, 21 December 2025 (UTC)
