Talk:1973 Mount Gambier cave diving accident

Dead link for main reference
, I am unable to check reference "The Shaft" as the link returns a 404error. please fix. Cheers, &middot; &middot; &middot; Peter Southwood (talk): 18:22, 30 November 2021 (UTC)
 * , it appears they changed their website and I cannot locate that link anymore. I do have that PDF saved, and WayBackMachine has this cached version: https://web.archive.org/web/20210927001006/https://www.cavedivers.com.au/sites/default/files/TheShaft.pdf I am not sure what is to be done in this situation &middot; &middot; &middot; Dnus (talk) 19:38, 30 November 2021 (UTC)
 * , an archived version on WayBack is entirely acceptable, you can link to it in the reference. &middot; &middot; &middot; Peter Southwood (talk): 03:42, 1 December 2021 (UTC)
 * I have fixed the ref link, and changed it to the original source which is a more authoritative publication than the website, and non-volatile, so much better for establishing notability. The style can still use a cleanup, which I will look into. A 1991 journal article on a 1973 incident suggests lasting interest, so I expect the article to be acceptable with a bit more work.&middot; &middot; &middot; Peter Southwood (talk): 04:28, 1 December 2021 (UTC)
 * I have read the source and in my opinion it is reliable and unusually well detailed for the era, written by a professional investigator with much experience in reporting incidents where accuracy is required. While some procedural recommendations have changed since the time of the incident, it remains a high quality resource. &middot; &middot; &middot; Peter Southwood (talk): 05:05, 1 December 2021 (UTC)

 * The answer to your question is now in the article content, complete with references. &middot; &middot; &middot; Peter Southwood (talk): 19:17, 3 December 2021 (UTC)

Incorrect info about # of divers vs name list vs deaths.
Christine Millott is listed as a death, but she isn't listed as a participant. List has 8 participants, all named, except it's missing her. But the article also makes multiple references to there being only 8 divers. How does that make sense? Either there were 9, or Christine wasn't there. 2600:1011:B154:C5BA:9006:18FF:FECA:86C9 (talk) 00:31, 12 July 2024 (UTC)
