Why WikiProject Serbia? · · · Peter Southwood ^(talk): 11:10, 20 April 2023 (UTC)Reply

The Serbia tag was incorrect and has been removed. Additional references have been added. Rlaird (talk) 16:40, 10 May 2023 (UTC)Reply

Relevance of Indian Springs reference unclear edit

Rlaird, It is nor clear how the Indian Springs reference relates to the preceding statement, i.e. Also, it is generally expected that the IUCRR provides public reports of incidents, please clarify. Cheers, · · · Peter Southwood ^(talk): 19:10, 18 July 2023 (UTC)Reply

I don't have access to the Forensic Science International article "Recovery of deceased scuba divers from within flooded subterranean caves", used for comprehensive sourcing in the WP article, but short abstracts are online here. The full text of the section "Recording/preserving the evidence" may supply the requested clarification.--AntientNestor (talk) 20:30, 12 August 2023 (UTC)Reply

On page 29 (as labeled in the PDF file), the paragraph that starts with "The Event", it is stated: "The accident in question occurred in 1991 prior to the to the establishment of the IUCRR (International Underwater Cave Rescue and Recovery, www.iucrr.org) so there is no official analysis available to the public..." To me, this implies that it was (and is) generally known that the IUCRR provides information to the public on such accidents. This statement is the only non-IUCRR statement that I could find that at least implies that the IUCRR is expected to provide information to the public re: incidents. Obviously, that purpose is clearly stated on the IUCRR web site, but it seems I'm discouraged from referencing it. Rlaird (talk) 15:58, 13 August 2023 (UTC)Reply

@Rlaird: From WP:RSPRIMARY: "specific facts may be taken from primary sources"—it's only referencing of "large blocks of material" that needs to be avoided.--AntientNestor (talk) 16:57, 13 August 2023 (UTC)Reply
