I think your recent edit to Ebola virus: "Remove hatnote per Wikipedia:Hatnote and for consistency with Ebola virus disease..." does a disservice. The point about hatnotes is to provide redirection to readers who are likely to have landed on the wrong page. In today's climate, it is likely the vast majority of readers who end up at "Ebola virus" are actually looking for information about the current outbreak. Consistency in hatnote application is less important than providing detour signs for those who are likely lost. Once the current hoopla dies down, it might be worth removing that hatnote again, but I think it still has a useful place today. Regards, Tarl.Neustaedter ( talk) 18:57, 17 October 2014 (UTC)
An admin saw a request to move the U.S. ebola page and went ahead and moved it to Ebola virus cases in the United States. I opened a section on the talk page. Per our discussion, I like it and think it should stay. What do you think? SW3 5DL ( talk) 22:20, 18 October 2014 (UTC)
Your title suggestion might be the one. That does cover it best. I'm not going to comment until the end. I want to see where this is at. Thanks for commenting. SW3 5DL ( talk) 15:41, 20 October 2014 (UTC)
Xqxf, it looks like Ebola virus cases in the United States is the most likely. What do you want to do now? SW3 5DL ( talk) 23:21, 22 October 2014 (UTC)
I see you've not been around in a few days, but I wanted to drop you a note to let you know that the straw poll you got going has some helpful comments. Thanks. SW3 5DL ( talk) 19:57, 26 October 2014 (UTC)
Hello Xqxf:
