Article reworking in progress

This page needs to be seriously reworked. --Rockinrhino 00:27, 25 October 2006 (UTC)

Added some more info and re-worked article for readability. Anyone have thoughts on whether this article should have the title changed to Strategic National Stockpile (United States)? Publicus 20:20, 4 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I would support such a change. Thank you for reworking. 2601:142:8201:6F70:0:0:0:22D0 (talk) 16:42, 19 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Disagree. 100% of the first 10 pages of results on Google for "Strategic National Stockpile" refer to the US stockpile. If there are any other such stockpiles that use the same name, I would support adding a link to a disambiguation page. .אבי נ (talk) 19:32, 30 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Agree. If the US's Strategic National Stockpile is the only such national stockpile in the world with that name, then it is not necessary to specify what country it is for. As of right now, this appears to be the case.

Wow, this conversation was started in 2006 yet it's still applicable. I stumbled upon this article, started reading it, and noticed a lot of errors with tenses, placement of paragraphs/information, and the overall flow. More work needs to be done on this article Meme Star27 (talk) — Preceding undated comment added 00:55, 29 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Duplicate cites to STAT article

I just added a complete cite to the same STAT source that's been partially cited twice before. I don't know how to retain my quote parameter on merge, so I'm leaving this problem for the next person. — MaxEnt 15:55, 2 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Trump Falsely Claims He Inherited ‘Empty’ Stockpile, add?

D'Angelo Gore Trump Falsely Claims He Inherited ‘Empty’ Stockpile April 3, 2020 FactCheck.org

Current content is

During the 2009 flu pandemic, tens of millions of masks were used, but neither the Obama administration nor the Trump administration renewed the strategic stocks.^[1] As of March 2020, the national strategic stockpile has 40 million masks while 100 times more are expected to be necessary to handle the pandemic crisis.^[1]

Better to remove an Opinion piece. X1\ (talk) 04:11, 4 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@X1\: I am not sure I understand the changes you are proposing.ThatMontrealIP (talk) 04:16, 4 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Replace the opinion piece, include the FactCheck.org ref. X1\ (talk) 04:20, 4 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Done. X1\ (talk) 02:07, 7 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Currently depleted, add?

The federal government’s emergency stockpile of personal protective equipment has been depleted, and states will not be receiving any more shipments. The HHS told the House Oversight and Reform Committee that the Trump administration has made its final shipments of personal protective equipment to states from the Strategic National Stockpile. Of the stockpile’s N95 respirators, surgical and face masks, face shields, gowns and gloves 90% have already been distributed to every state. The remaining 10% is reserved for federal workers and will not be distributed to states.

Criticism section needs serious work

Most of the section is based off of a single source, an infamously quack book called "The real Anthony Fauci: Bill Gates, big pharma, and the global war on democracy and public health". The second half of the section waffles about how Anthony Fauci was responsible for the N95 shortage, claiming that the NYT article implicates him, when this is completely false. I believe that the section needs to be either entirely removed or completely rewritten. Any objections? DeVosMax [ contribs • talk • created media ] 11:18, 4 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I ended up making the changes needed. Removed all mentions of Fauci and that garbage source. No need for this article to end up as part of the Bill Gates Cinematic Universe. Cheers. DeVosMax [ contribs • talk • created media ] 12:01, 4 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
