Hi,
Unfortunately, that won't be an appropriate article for Wikipedia. Articles need to be based on verifiable facts - that is, on information supported by reliable sources. Original research is not permitted. See also WP:NOTGUIDE.
I suggest you read WP:FIRST. Best of luck, 88.104.23.102 ( talk) 17:36, 23 August 2014 (UTC)
Hello Robert W. Armington,
I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Hyperbaric Chamber Installation Guidelines & Tips for deletion, because it seems to be a test. Did you know that the Wikipedia Sandbox is available for testing out edits?
If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can contest this deletion, but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.
You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. Blackguard 17:55, 23 August 2014 (UTC)
Wikipedia already has an article about hyperbaric chambers. Please take a look at the Diving chamber article. Perhaps you could improve it. Eastmain ( talk • contribs) 18:18, 23 August 2014 (UTC)
as the others have said above, it's not what Wikipedia is for. We have an article about the chambers, and very many other subjects too (about four and a half million last I heard). What we don't do is instructions and tips. WikiHow is a place that (so far as I know) welcomes instructions and guidelines, and tips. Tips coming from your own experience unfortunately fall foul of our policy on original research WP:OR. We don't publish original research. If Darwen had tried to post an article about his theory of evolution before the book even came out, we'd have turned him down. Even when it was published, we'd have said no until it had been reviewed in some reliable places like The Times and The Telegraph. We need things to be verifiable WP:V and I'm afraid you don't count as a verifiable source because you aren't a publication. If you saw some of the junk that people try to get away with, you'd understand straight away. One chap even faked up two online newspapers to back up a tale he was telling. (It only took a few minutes to see through that one...) You are genuine, I'm quite sure. Please understand where we are coming from. Forums can carry instructions because the posts are not editable by anyone else. Here, having information vandalised is one thing, but if someone changed an instruction, and someone else got hurt as a result, it would not be good. Peridon ( talk) 18:47, 23 August 2014 (UTC)
- Please do feel free to help us with articles that are in your sphere of operations - but remember that we need things to be referenced to independent sources. If you want to query the correctness of something, but can't prove it outside your own experience, post on the talk page of the article concerned, and a discussion will start. I do that with some things that don't look right in subjects I know little or nothing about. It usually works... Peridon ( talk) 18:51, 23 August 2014 (UTC)
