What , it could just be included into the other tables as a separate column (so that instead of looking at an illness in one table and having to look it up in another, it would just be in the same table. am adding the kingdom names to each section also since the heading "Parasitic" is misleading considering there are parasitic protozoa. Matt.leeck ( talk) 13:49, 10 March 2009 (UTC)
I am making my current primary objective to be fixing this page and making a decent article out of what was a vague, questionable list. The work is still in progress, sorry for the inconvenience if any... Matt.leeck ( talk) 03:55, 11 March 2009 (UTC)
I had occasion to link to WBDisease, so I checked on the article, and frankly was dismayed. I don't think it has been well conceived. Needs full re-write. I don't mind having a go, but I am not a medic. If anyone is contemplating doing it properly, fine, but if not, is there a doctor in the house? I would prefer at least to bounce my outlines off someone competent before investing serious time. JonRichfield ( talk) 14:54, 30 December 2011 (UTC)
I have been working on sanitation-related Wikipedia articles for the last six months but have only come across this one now, after seeing a link in the template on pollution template:Pollution. This article could have great potential (very important topic), and I don't think it should be classified as "list" type, as it contains much more than just a listing? It should actually be linked to from a number of other pages, e.g. sanitation, fecal-oral route, open defecation. It would be good if someone with a medical background could look over this article to see if it is any good. What is your opinion about this article, Doc_James? What aspects of it should be improved and how? EvM-Susana ( talk) 07:16, 15 April 2015 (UTC)
I am currently working on the section "health aspects" in the article on WASH. I am trying to get my head around how to link and match that article to this one so that we don't end up with too much overlap. Any suggestions? EMsmile ( talk) 05:58, 29 June 2020 (UTC)
I am thinking about adding the perspective of how the economic stability of a community impacts how significant waterborne diseases are there. Sakura727 ( talk) 23:36, 21 November 2020 (UTC)
Is all the information before the given cited source -no matter how many sentences- from that source? Sakura727 ( talk) 01:37, 22 November 2020 (UTC)
I'm adding a section talking about the history of waterborne diseases and understanding them. A.pink236 ( talk) 21:13, 23 November 2020 (UTC)
I have restructured the article a bit to give it the standard headings that we use for disease articles. Remember the article started out as a pure "list" article. I think it's good that it got expanded but we need to link across to the main other articles, such as sanitation rather than writing up similar content here. EMsmile ( talk) 09:39, 5 January 2021 (UTC)
This is not my principal area of expertise and I wonder whether somebody with better knowledge could add in the various flukes (schistosomiasis, liver fluke etc)into the parasitic worms section. They get a substantive mention in the lede but ought to be covered in more detail in the tables. Although the lede text suggests that skin contact is the major route of infection, there is plenty of evidence of transmission through contaminated drinking water, including upland stream water draining sheep pastures.

I really struggle with this article. It is a popular topic which you can see from the high view rates (800 views per day). It also seems to be popular for student assignments. But it overlaps a lot with WASH (which has only 200 views per day). I am wondering how we can improve on that. This article started out with purely a list of waterborne diseases. Now it is beginning to talk about costs, social aspects, history and so forth - all topics that are covered in WASH as well. Which article should become the main article and which the sub-article? I would lean towards moving content to WASH and keeping this one more as a list of diseases. Note that diseases caused by lack of sanitation include waterborne diseases but also those that are not waterborne but rather transmitted via soil ( helminthiasis).
