Biological weapon
Newone do you have a source for that? I haven't been able to find one. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 04:24, 24 August 2022 (UTC)
- None of these seem helpful here. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 22:14, 24 August 2022 (UTC)
- Agreed. I think Newone is adding navboxes to the pages they carry links to. The problem is the navboxes often contain problematic links, and no one is watching the navboxes. I've removed the navboxes in question, and will remove the Dengue links from each as well. Ajpolino (talk) 22:27, 25 August 2022 (UTC)
Current photo
I personally can't tell there even is a rash in the current picture Denguerash.JPG. Is there a different one we can use? Toobigtokale (talk) 21:49, 15 April 2023 (UTC)
- Perhaps it is a problem with your screen resolution; I see it fine (and I've had dengue, and that's just what it looks like). SandyGeorgia (Talk) 22:53, 15 April 2023 (UTC)
- Got a good screen; just a subjective thing. If disagree then no worries Toobigtokale (talk) 04:56, 16 April 2023 (UTC)
Featured article review needed
There has been a maintenance tag on the article for two years, and almost all of the sources are outdated, and in breach of WP:MEDDATE. Listing at WP:FARGIVEN. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 22:23, 30 April 2023 (UTC)
- @SandyGeorgia Review in progress. As you say, many sources are out of date. There's also too much reference to primary sources, many of which are paywalled. There are lots of good secondary sources available currently, perhaps this is an improvement since the last review. Bob (talk) 12:26, 17 February 2024 (UTC)
Serotype 1 to 4, and maybe 5
I have downgraded references to a fifth serotype. It appears to have arisen as an unconfirmed single occurrence about 10 years ago; current sources only list four serotypes. Bob (talk) 17:42, 10 February 2024 (UTC)
Diagnosis and treatment
I'll soon get to review these sections:
- Diagnosis
- Laboratory tests (to be demoted from section to paragraph)
- Management (to be renamed Treatment)
They currently read like a medical textbook - lots of very specific detail which someone a few years ago put a lot of effort into compiling. I hate to replace large chunks of another editor's work. I don't have access to some of the sources nor am I confident I would understand them well enough. But I think WP:TECHNICAL, WP:ORIGINAL, and WP:NOTTEXTBOOK apply and these sections should be updated, trimmed and simplified. Bob (talk) 18:27, 2 March 2024 (UTC)
