Description[edit]

I, block77129, feel that this topic is of vital importance and believe that a WikiProject should be created in order to update faster, more efficiently and to promote conversation between editors as to ensure the accuracy and legitimacy of edits.— Preceding unsigned comment added by block77129 (talk • contribs)

Discussion[edit]

I don't think this is a good topic for a WikiProject or task force. 2009 swine flu outbreak and other related articles are already of high quality. Also, the scope may be too narrow. ~EdGl ★ 13:38, 5 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Strong oppose (A) Scope too narrow (B) Articles are already of relatively high quality (C) Wikipedia is not the CDC, it is not our job to keep the public updated about pandemics & (D) This topic will no longer be of high importance when the pandemic ends. my name inc 00:29, 6 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose Unnecessary. Will be short-lived. -- OlEnglish ^(Talk) 10:04, 6 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose The outbreak was found to be not as harmful as once thought; it may soon be over. themaee ^talk 04:50, 9 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose Topic is far to narrow to cover...too few subjects fitting the category and those which do fit are well categorized under other WikiProjects. -- ALK (User | Talk) 21:07, 9 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose It is a very narrow topic and only would cover few articles and it would be shot lived and last a few months at best. Irunongames • play 20:29, 1 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose, seems far too narrow. Stifle (talk) 13:33, 16 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Strong oppose. When the swine 'flu is gone, this project will be out-dated. All the best, Kayau (Talk to me! See what I've done! Sign my guestbook!) 15:35, 1 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Temporary task force If coordinating at the article's talk pages is really insufficient, then you can ask WikiProject Medicine to create a task force page for you. WhatamIdoing (talk) 05:15, 16 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
