The box in COVID-19_pandemic_in_Australia#Timeline is all wrong. It claims that we've had about 185,000 total cases, including about 280 in the last two weeks. But according to its source, we've had almost 240,000 total cases, including more than 1,000 per day in the last several months. 122.150.71.249 ( talk) 20:50, 18 December 2021 (UTC)
Dear Colleagues,
Im hopeful for your re-review of Dr. Vin Gupta -- NBC News's COVID-19 analyst -- and a critical care pulmonologist by training. He continues to be on primetime cable TV nonstop for over the past 2 years and feel like there's a clear void on wikipedia that can provide people relevant background info on him -- "Vin Gupta wikipedia" is a frequent search term.
Given the state of the pandemic, hopeful you can please help me bring this over the top. Thank you,
CG.

The BBC is reporting today on a number of studies that suggest that Omicron infection may result in a milder illness ( https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-59758784). I wanted to include mention of this in History of the COVID-19 pandemic in the United Kingdom, as it adds additional information to the impact of our current wave of omicron-driven cases. However it occurs to me that discussion of variant potency might count as biomedical claims, and I'm not sure which if any of the BBC's source studies, or their article itself, would be acceptable under WP:MEDRS. I feel like there's probably something that can be included here - at the very least, it is a fact that the national press is reporting this - but I'd appreciate guidance on the wording/sourcing if possible.

Colleagues,
Ive been working to publish an AfC for Dr. Vin Gupta, who is a frequent medical analyst for NBC News and MSNBC --- viewers here in the US of those channels reliably see him daily for the last 2+ years. They should know his background, since he primarily provides COVID-19 analysis.
I've received multiple points of feedback and several editors have said that he passes notability guidelines. Ive significantly pared back the AfC as well and just hoping to bring this over the finish line. Hopeful for help? Thank you,

In a GA review, one of the copyedit issues which arose was whether to link the term "Zero Covid".
This search found 29 mentions of the term, and it seemed to me that "Zero Covid" or "Zero Covid strategies" might be a suitable topic for a standalone article, or at least a section in some other article.
A JSTOR search for "Zero Covid" gives 11 hits. Some of those about zero Covid cases rather a zero Covid policy/strategy/goal, but there may be something in the rest.
This is not my field, and I have no agenda other than noting a possible omission. BrownHairedGirl (talk) • ( contribs) 05:21, 2 January 2022 (UTC)

Is there any consensus for mentioning international comparisons in country lead sections? An editor is disputing the inclusion of this information in the lead section of Covid UK, although I have disagreed with this on the basis that this is a neutral way of opening an article where the extent of the outbreak has been considerable, and is used in Covid USA, Covid India, Covid Brazil, Covid Russia, Covid Malaysia and many others, and has not been disputed.

I have written an article about the scientist Leondios G. Kostrikis, mainly intended to describe the scientist who said to have found the mix-variant sometimes named "deltacron". Afterwards, i saw that the redirect already was written. The redirect targets to the omicron variant. It does not explain to the readers, why they are redirected there. The current target article does not say anything about that. In Talk:Deltacron, i explained why i want to retarget this redirect. I notified / pinged the redirect's author from there. I am a native speaker of German, i do not know much about the en wiki policies, guidelines, uses and habits. May i edit the retarget? However, the article Leondios G. Kostrikis may benefit from Your help, especially if you know quality newspaper sources about that subject in English language. See Talk:Leondios G. Kostrikis.

Based on a discussion [1] on the local article COVID-19 pandemic in Ontario - which has not seen updates due to lack of general interest, have we begun a discussion on how these local COVID-19 articles should exist in the future? For much of the pandemic they were mainly focused on lockdowns, daily numbers, etc and then moved to movement on vaccination. Given there's a general lack of interest by the public and editors - where should these articles head to? How should they be treated for future readers?

I have (with the help of others) made a small user script to detect and highlight various links to unreliable sources and predatory journals. Some of you may already be familiar with it, given it is currently the 39th most imported script on Wikipedia. The idea is that it takes something like
John Smith "[https://www.deprecated.com/article Article of things]" ''Deprecated.com''. Accessed 2020-02-14.
)and turns it into something like
It will work on a variety of links, including those from {{ cite web}}, {{ cite journal}} and {{ doi}}.
The script is mostly based on WP:RSPSOURCES, WP:NPPSG and WP:CITEWATCH and a good dose of common sense. I'm always expanding coverage and tweaking the script's logic, so general feedback and suggestions to expand coverage to other unreliable sources are always welcomed.
Do note that this is not a script to be mindlessly used, and several caveats apply. Details and instructions are available at User:Headbomb/unreliable. Questions, comments and requests can be made at User talk:Headbomb/unreliable.

Just had a question. Until 1 May 2022, most of the Timeline of the COVID-19 pandemic articles included reports of public figures such as politicians, sportspersons, and celebrities testing positive. However, following an edit war involving User:S201050066, other users working on these articles take the view that these are too trivial for global-related articles. I just wanted to clarify if there is a policy stating that we should not include reports of public figures testing positive or dying from COVID-19. Andykatib 12:53, 1 May 2022 (UTC)

We're still trucking with Timeline of the COVID-19 pandemic in June 2022 and Responses to the COVID-19 pandemic in June 2022, 28 months and counting. These lists are getting more and more fragmented and partial as editor and new attention to the pandemic dies down and coverage becomes minor or routine. In the spirit of Gtoffoletto suggesting that consolidation was an important step to take at this point, I wanted to discuss collapsing down these blow-by-blow articles to something that more approaches due weight and summary style, which a month-by-month rundown definitely does not do.

Hi folks,
We have a small epidemic of WP:RECENTISM in our biographies, where someone has added piece whenever there's been a news report that a person was infected with Covid. For an encyclopedic biography supposed to cover the most central facts in someone's life, this makes little sense in most cases, as most people had a reasonably mild infection with no lasting consequences. Since a lot of the damage Covid-19 has caused is mainly due to how incredibly contagious it is, infecting a significant portion of the world's population, we have a lot of passages like "On 26 November 2020, [someone] announced [someone] had tested positive for coronavirus. [Person] was reported 'feeling relatively well', 'experiencing some flu-like symptoms'" and so on.
There are, of course, a good number of biographies where the inclusion of Covid makes sense, where it had a severe impact on their lives: deaths, drawn-out symptoms, affected careers. But I can't see any reason to keep the "this person was infected by Covid-19 and felt OK" as one of the facts to central to their lives that we announce them to our readers. They seem WP:UNDUE. Is there any reason not to systematically weed out these passages? / Julle ( talk) 21:16, 21 July 2022 (UTC)

For example, the African page hasn't been updated since 14 August 2022. I update the Malaysian figures in Template:COVID-19 cases in Asia daily and the New Zealand figures in Template:COVID-19 cases in Oceania weekly but don't have time to go through the other countries.

Quality assessments by Wikipedia editors rate articles in terms of completeness, organization, prose quality, sourcing, etc. Most wikiprojects follow the general guidelines at
Wikipedia:Content assessment, but some have specialized assessment guidelines. A recent
Village pump proposal was approved and has been implemented to add a |class=
parameter to {{
WikiProject banner shell}}, which can display a general quality assessment for an article, and to let project banner templates "inherit" this assessment.
No action is required if your wikiproject follows the standard assessment approach. Over time, quality assessments will be migrated up to {{ WikiProject banner shell}}, and your project banner will automatically "inherit" any changes to the general assessments for the purpose of assigning categories.
However, if your project has decided to "opt out" and follow a non-standard quality assessment approach, all you have to do is modify your wikiproject banner template to pass {{
WPBannerMeta}} a new |QUALITY_CRITERIA=custom
parameter. If this is done, changes to the general quality assessment will be ignored, and your project-level assessment will be displayed and used to create categories, as at present.

Hi all, I've seen a few well-intentioned editors adding 2023 as the end date of the pandemic over at List of epidemics and pandemics, likely in response to the WHO's 5 May announcement. I left a message on the talk page there– the gist is: there's no current consensus on the end of the pandemic, and the List article should defer to discussions at the COVID-19 pandemic article.

Dear Colleagues,
Im hopeful for your re-review of Dr. Vin Gupta -- NBC News's COVID-19 analyst -- and a critical care pulmonologist by training. He continues to be on primetime cable TV nonstop for over the past 2 years and feel like there's a clear void on wikipedia that can provide people relevant background info on him -- "Vin Gupta wikipedia" is a frequent search term.
Given the state of the pandemic, hopeful you can please help me bring this over the top. Thank you,
CG.

The BBC is reporting today on a number of studies that suggest that Omicron infection may result in a milder illness ( https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-59758784). I wanted to include mention of this in History of the COVID-19 pandemic in the United Kingdom, as it adds additional information to the impact of our current wave of omicron-driven cases. However it occurs to me that discussion of variant potency might count as biomedical claims, and I'm not sure which if any of the BBC's source studies, or their article itself, would be acceptable under WP:MEDRS. I feel like there's probably something that can be included here - at the very least, it is a fact that the national press is reporting this - but I'd appreciate guidance on the wording/sourcing if possible.

Colleagues,
Ive been working to publish an AfC for Dr. Vin Gupta, who is a frequent medical analyst for NBC News and MSNBC --- viewers here in the US of those channels reliably see him daily for the last 2+ years. They should know his background, since he primarily provides COVID-19 analysis.
I've received multiple points of feedback and several editors have said that he passes notability guidelines. Ive significantly pared back the AfC as well and just hoping to bring this over the finish line. Hopeful for help? Thank you,

In a GA review, one of the copyedit issues which arose was whether to link the term "Zero Covid".
This search found 29 mentions of the term, and it seemed to me that "Zero Covid" or "Zero Covid strategies" might be a suitable topic for a standalone article, or at least a section in some other article.
A JSTOR search for "Zero Covid" gives 11 hits. Some of those about zero Covid cases rather a zero Covid policy/strategy/goal, but there may be something in the rest.

I have written an article about the scientist Leondios G. Kostrikis, mainly intended to describe the scientist who said to have found the mix-variant sometimes named "deltacron". Afterwards, i saw that the redirect already was written. The redirect targets to the omicron variant. It does not explain to the readers, why they are redirected there. The current target article does not say anything about that. In Talk:Deltacron, i explained why i want to retarget this redirect. I notified / pinged the redirect's author from there. I am a native speaker of German, i do not know much about the en wiki policies, guidelines, uses and habits. May i edit the retarget? However, the article Leondios G.

I have (with the help of others) made a small user script to detect and highlight various links to unreliable sources and predatory journals. Some of you may already be familiar with it, given it is currently the 39th most imported script on Wikipedia. The idea is that it takes something like
John Smith "[https://www.deprecated.com/article Article of things]" ''Deprecated.com''. Accessed 2020-02-14.
)and turns it into something like
It will work on a variety of links, including those from {{ cite web}}, {{ cite journal}} and {{ doi}}.
The script is mostly based on WP:RSPSOURCES, WP:NPPSG and WP:CITEWATCH and a good dose of common sense. I'm always expanding coverage and tweaking the script's logic, so general feedback and suggestions to expand coverage to other unreliable sources are always welcomed.
Do note that this is not a script to be mindlessly used, and several caveats apply. Details and instructions are available at User:Headbomb/unreliable. Questions, comments and requests can be made at User talk:Headbomb/unreliable.

Just had a question. Until 1 May 2022, most of the Timeline of the COVID-19 pandemic articles included reports of public figures such as politicians, sportspersons, and celebrities testing positive. However, following an edit war involving User:S201050066, other users working on these articles take the view that these are too trivial for global-related articles. I just wanted to clarify if there is a policy stating that we should not include reports of public figures testing positive or dying from COVID-19. Andykatib 12:53, 1 May 2022 (UTC)

We're still trucking with Timeline of the COVID-19 pandemic in June 2022 and Responses to the COVID-19 pandemic in June 2022, 28 months and counting. These lists are getting more and more fragmented and partial as editor and new attention to the pandemic dies down and coverage becomes minor or routine. In the spirit of Gtoffoletto suggesting that consolidation was an important step to take at this point, I wanted to discuss collapsing down these blow-by-blow articles to something that more approaches due weight and summary style, which a month-by-month rundown definitely does not do.

Hi folks,
We have a small epidemic of WP:RECENTISM in our biographies, where someone has added piece whenever there's been a news report that a person was infected with Covid. For an encyclopedic biography supposed to cover the most central facts in someone's life, this makes little sense in most cases, as most people had a reasonably mild infection with no lasting consequences. Since a lot of the damage Covid-19 has caused is mainly due to how incredibly contagious it is, infecting a significant portion of the world's population, we have a lot of passages like "On 26 November 2020, [someone] announced [someone] had tested positive for coronavirus. [Person] was reported 'feeling relatively well', 'experiencing some flu-like symptoms'" and so on.
There are, of course, a good number of biographies where the inclusion of Covid makes sense, where it had a severe impact on their lives: deaths, drawn-out symptoms, affected careers. But I can't see any reason to keep the "this person was infected by Covid-19 and felt OK" as one of the facts to central to their lives that we announce them to our readers. They seem WP:UNDUE. Is there any reason not to systematically weed out these passages? / Julle ( talk) 21:16, 21 July 2022 (UTC)

Quality assessments by Wikipedia editors rate articles in terms of completeness, organization, prose quality, sourcing, etc. Most wikiprojects follow the general guidelines at
Wikipedia:Content assessment, but some have specialized assessment guidelines. A recent
Village pump proposal was approved and has been implemented to add a |class=
parameter to {{
WikiProject banner shell}}, which can display a general quality assessment for an article, and to let project banner templates "inherit" this assessment.
No action is required if your wikiproject follows the standard assessment approach. Over time, quality assessments will be migrated up to {{ WikiProject banner shell}}, and your project banner will automatically "inherit" any changes to the general assessments for the purpose of assigning categories.
However, if your project has decided to "opt out" and follow a non-standard quality assessment approach, all you have to do is modify your wikiproject banner template to pass {{
WPBannerMeta}} a new |QUALITY_CRITERIA=custom
parameter. If this is done, changes to the general quality assessment will be ignored, and your project-level assessment will be displayed and used to create categories, as at present.

Hi all, I've seen a few well-intentioned editors adding 2023 as the end date of the pandemic over at List of epidemics and pandemics, likely in response to the WHO's 5 May announcement.

As this is a highly active WikiProject, I would like to introduce you to Credibility bot. This is a bot that makes it easier to track source usage across articles through automated reports and alerts. We piloted this approach at Wikipedia:Vaccine safety and we want to offer it to any subject area or domain. We need your support to demonstrate demand for this toolkit. If you have a desire for this functionality, or would like to leave other feedback, please endorse the tool or comment at WP:CREDBOT. Thanks! Harej ( talk) 17:57, 5 August 2023 (UTC)
A new user @ DPHMSmith has made a help request at my t/p to help in their new BLP draft Manisha Juthani, MD - Commissioner of Connecticut Department of Public Health . Prima facie seems notable.
Since I am running short of time I would request other users to suitably help in this endeavor. Bookku ( talk) 09:18, 6 September 2023 (UTC)
Hello. I'm looking to contribute to the wiki project and saw that 'social bubble' is listed under the Missing Topics tab. Is this something an article is still needed/desired for? I would be happy to draft one as well as give a poke over at the talk page here but it seems rather sparse. I did see this discussion but that was 2 years ago and there doesn't seem to be a consensus as to whether or not a full article is necessary. MapleSyrupRain ( talk) 00:19, 26 September 2023 (UTC)
