Per discussion at WP:MED itself, Renaissancee's decision is incorrect, and it is appropriate to tag this article. 70.29.212.226 (talk) 06:34, 13 June 2009 (UTC)Reply

Map duplication

edit

The images used in English are only used in English, they are not the ones used in Portuguese or Spanish, or any other language. Why weren't the old maps just updated, like people have been doing since the maps were created? Further the pink map is dated with a timestamp. Does that mean we have to change the image every update? And the black-red-yellow map says "new" on it. It won't be new the next time something is updated. So now we have to keep track of updates and keep sync with what Hispanic wikipedians update on the other maps, or Brazilians on the other maps?

Deaths map

edit
 

So can someone update the map to account for the death in Colombia? 70.29.212.226 (talk) 04:21, 15 June 2009 (UTC)   DoneReply

Someone needs to update the map to take account of the death in Argentina. 70.29.212.226 (talk) 03:49, 16 June 2009 (UTC)   DoneReply

Map references

edit
 

Well, the references on the map "Outbreak evolution in South America", are somewhat wrong, the colours used on them, the +5 cases (magenta) reference, and the +1 cases (pink) specifically, are not the colours represented on the map, and it may lead to confusion. I'd appreciate if someone corrects this, thanks.

2009 flu pandemic in Chile

edit

Why does this article exist? This article duplicates the section in 2009 flu pandemic in South America, with no further elaboration or expansion, that section is not so large as to require a breakout article.

Good point. Still you can click on languages -> Español and access a full info article. 201.252.88.102 (talk) 13:42, 7 July 2009 (UTC)Reply

Argentina

edit

The maps of Argentina contain Antarctica... but AFAIK, Argentina respects the Antarctic treaty, is a treaty member, etc... Why does the map contain Antarctica then?

And Antarctica is colored in, does anyone have information on confirmed cases in Antarctica?

Reverse zoonosis in Argentina

edit
 
File:H1N1 Argentina zoonosis.svg

Can someone add a source for that, and place a prose line into the Argentina section? 76.66.203.200 (talk) 05:17, 26 June 2009 (UTC)Reply

A map for Argentina's zoonosis is available. 70.29.208.69 (talk) 05:29, 3 July 2009 (UTC)Reply

Proposed article move

A proposal is afoot to move the 'country' article to a more appropriate location. Thoughts? Bosonic dressing (talk) 10:18, 26 June 2009 (UTC)Reply

Brazilian deaths

edit
 

A deaths map is now available for Brazil. 76.66.193.20 (talk) 11:43, 29 June 2009 (UTC)Reply



community outbreak maps

edit

Can the various community outbreak maps have their colours harmonized?

How about additing in all countries with confirmed infections, and adding a second color for "isolated infections" ?

File:H1N1 South America Map.svg

edit

File:H1N1 South America Map.svg is closing on being completely black, can someone convert this to first level national subdivisions mapping, like the North America map? 70.29.208.69 (talk) 05:17, 3 July 2009 (UTC)Reply

This has become a very urgent issue. Even if we just break up Argentina and Brazil, we would accomplish a good deal. However, probably breaking up the map for all countries would be good, and then the fact that French Guiana is shown seperate from France would actually be acceptable since it would not be inconsistent with the overall scheme of first level sub-national showings.Johnpacklambert (talk) 18:53, 15 July 2009 (UTC)Reply

Chile

edit

Why is Antarctica on these maps? There have been no reported deaths or cases in Antarctica, yet it is colored black/pink. And Chile is a signatory to the Antarctic Treaty staying its claim to Antarctica.
