Chief Officer and Captain Michael Hudson is an expert applying this technique.

This should be categorized under Ocean Safety... how do I add a category. I am not a professional wikipedia writer. WillisBrothers (talk) 16:41, 1 June 2016 (UTC)

Comment
Hi Safiel, Can you please tell me what the differnce between this article: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rip_current and my article is? The rip current article sais "dealing with a rip" which is instructional.

Hi Safiel, This is the page I tried to follow format of. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abdominal_thrusts


 * Comment The main problem is not the structure or style of the article, but the fact that is contents may not be notable enough for a separate article. It is possible that some of the content might be moved to the existing Rip current article. Noting the comparison you make, this rip current avoidance maneuver is clearly not as notable as the Heimlich Maneuver. But again, it may be possible to save the essential information about the rip current avoidance maneuver and put it in the Rip current article. I will wait to see what other editors have to say at the deletion discussion, which will last a full week. Safiel (talk) 00:23, 1 June 2016 (UTC)

Thank you Safiel, that sounds like the solution. Editing the page with a simple description, then linking it to the rip current page. I will make some edits. WillisBrothers (talk) 16:40, 1 June 2016 (UTC)
