This FA is a 2005 promotion that has not been kept up to date. The original nominator, Redux is not currently active and has not edited the article since 2005. The top contributor, DO11.10 has not edited it since 2011. The second contributor, Doc James has not made any significant edits recently. [2] A list of updates needed was posted a month ago; significant portions of the article are out of date, and there is uncited text. A number of the sources used are quite old, dating to when the article passed FAC in 2005. (see WP:MEDRS). Hopefully the WT:MED notification will result in getting this article cited, updated, and cleaned up. SandyGeorgia ( Talk) 20:42, 22 February 2020 (UTC) reply
Note that I am involved in the current WikiCup, but come here from a notice posted to WP Venezuela as a relevant article.
It may not be an area I know a lot about, but when I read the article after seeing the FAR notice I saw that it is quite short and leaves me wanting for details, though it seems to be a disease about which a lot is known. This may be an issue with accurately expanding on detail, particularly in the latter sections, which have noticeably not been updated in at least 2 years. This seems to be the first issue I can find, before going into medical aspects. A good improvement should probably begin with expansion. I’ll hopefully come back with some MOS for medical articles comments. Kingsif ( talk) 23:00, 22 February 2020 (UTC) reply
No concerns with the FA status being removed if that is what people wish. Doc James ( talk · contribs · email) 00:08, 23 February 2020 (UTC) reply
So WP:WikiProject_Medicine are officially abandoning their FAs now? I know more about the parasite than the disease so without input from the said project, I would not feel fully competent helping here. Graham Beards ( talk) 16:56, 24 February 2020 (UTC) reply

tag to the words "Portuguese pronunciation" inside the infobox, which breaches
MOS:TEXTSIZE. I'll amend the template in the near future to allow a size parameter, which can then be set to 100% for use in infoboxes. Summary is below. --

Also common in chronic Chagas disease is damage to the digestive system, particularly enlargement of the esophagus or colon, affecting 10–21% of people.[2] Those with enlarged esophagus often experience pain (odynophagia) or trouble swallowing (dysphagia), acid reflux, cough, and weight loss.[2] Individuals with enlarged colon often experience constipation, which can lead to severe blockage of the intestine or its blood supply.[2] Up to 10% of chronically infected individuals develop nerve damage that can result in numbness and altered reflexes or movement.[2]I find this makes the text and ref list a bit cluttered but I haven't changed it because of WP:CITEVAR concerns.
