University of Wisconsin - Milwaukee
What is the source of the citation of confirmed cases in 2006 at UWM? As of April 21, Wisconsin's Public Health Department says there are currently 17. See: http://www.dhfs.state.wi.us/News/PressReleases/2006/04242006mumps.pdf

Source(s) re: Dalhousie?
Curious to know where the figure of "350 confirmed cases" came from in the Dalhousie University portion. Dalhousie is claiming only 82 cases as of 7/26/07 (http://healthservices.dal.ca/Mumps%20Prevention/mumps_dal.php). No source cited...

UK Advice Recommending Against Vaccination
There is no link supporting the statement that mumps vaccination was recommended against by UK bodies until 1987 (???). Possibly this is a misunderstanding of the fact that no single mumps vaccination was approved in the UK until 1988. Mumps vaccination was normally delivered as part of MMR. This left parents who preferred the application of standalone vaccinations with no option to vaccinate against mumps. Can someone who is an authority (or at least has more information than me), either remove this bizarre claim or substantiate it with a source. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.108.87.14 (talk) 00:37, 13 February 2019 (UTC)
 * I have added a source. Tornado chaser (talk) 03:41, 13 February 2019 (UTC)
 * Problem with that source is 1) it is primary 2) we contained the content before the source did so could simple be copied from use. 3) never heard of that journal. Doc James  (talk · contribs · email) 18:21, 13 February 2019 (UTC)
