Stock prices are not encyclopedic

Blough28 made these changes when the Vaxart stock price rose dramatically over this week, particularly today when its price doubled on news that it is being supported under Operation Warp Speed (not really a major event - the research is still in the preclinical (laboratory animal) phase of vaccine development). See WP:RECENTISM and WP:NOTDIR. By viewing the changing stock price histories of Novavax, Moderna, and Inovio over the past weeks, one can see that these are highly volatile stocks with small news items affecting prices in either direction. Wikipedia - as an encyclopedia of established facts, is not a news site for the stock market, and does not include stock prices in those other vaccine company articles. We should not be adding stock price changes for Vaxart per WP:NOTNEWS. 15:36, 26 June 2020 (UTC)

This article is now severely out of date... Is this deliberately being kept out of date?

References should include recent medical journal studies (Oxford, Stanford,Duke) I think references would also benefit from Press Releases by the company. 2A00:23C6:8A09:5F01:5A:2C9F:875C:DD15 (talk) 10:59, 15 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

As Wikipedia is a volunteer project, people do what they can, when they can, if they have the materials needed to do it. If you have specific changes to propose, please offer them here(you can draw the attention of other editors by formatting them as an edit request) Press releases are primary sources; we are interested in what independent reliable sources state, not what the subject says about itself. 331dot (talk) 11:01, 15 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
