Suggestions for improvement

 * Needs a few more wikilinks - to organizations, to concepts, etc.
 * Some of the sections are too colloquial, look at WP:MEDMOS as far as discussing Dr. so and so, etc.
 * Contains a lot of trivia about individuals and organizations (e.g. in commission and initiative sections) based on primary sources. Reads like promotional literature, rather than encyclopedia article.
 * Several sections of the article sound like this article is about the latest buzword ("One health"). It is not clear how the topic of this article relates to (is distinct from) the topics of other articles about similar topics. (i.e. how is the topic of this article different from the topic of environmental health, public health, ...) It says this is just a new term for an old concept - what else has the concept been called?  What other articles are there about this concept?  Zodon (talk) 21:41, 3 September 2011 (UTC)


 * I would like to suggest the use of the various cite templates. -- Alan Liefting (talk) - 23:10, 3 September 2011 (UTC)


 * One Health was also termed One Medicine. There are a number of articles and books now being written about this topic. This is a new and growing field with many conferences and activities taking place.  For example, physicians, veterinarians, and scientists in Nigeria are working together to implement One Health throughout their entire country.  They hope to serve as a model for all of Africa; this new field has the potential to greatly improve global health.


 * Also, maybe link to Neglected Tropical Diseases and explain the role of OneHealth in prevention/control of NTDs. JuanTamad (talk) 03:18, 1 October 2016 (UTC)

Merger proposal
I propose that Comparative medicine be merged into One Health, section Comparative medicine. Comparative medicine will be better explained in the context of the One health page, rather than by itself. DferDaisy (talk) 21:32, 25 June 2017 (UTC)
 * On the edge on this one. It's a clever suggestion, but ... MaynardClark (talk) 21:43, 25 June 2017 (UTC)
 * Against Interesting idea but it seems Comparative medicine should be focused on laboratory medicine. One Health is more applied science. My $0.02. --Gene Hobbs (talk) 10:48, 26 June 2017 (UTC)
 * Also Against - as Gene says, they are not related. Comparative medicine seems to be an approach to research. See the One Health website and CDC page on One Health. EcoHealth is related to One Health and might consider merging the two. JuanTamad (talk) 03:05, 19 July 2017 (UTC)

Fake refs in use in One Health
Hi, just noticed that there are fake references in heavy use (numbers in superscript that aren't actually linked to a reference) in the section One Health. Elysia (Wiki Ed) (talk) 17:40, 15 November 2019 (UTC)
 * , good catch. These refs were lost in an erroneous good-faith edit in 2015 (users should preserve the Wiki syntax when copying). I have restored the refs from article history, although some of them may be outdated and/or dead by now. GermanJoe (talk) 17:55, 15 November 2019 (UTC)
 * , Great, thanks! Elysia (Wiki Ed) (talk) 17:57, 15 November 2019 (UTC)

Merger Proposal
I feel this article should be merged with the "One Health Model" page. This article talks about the history and people or organizations behind One Health, while "One Health Model" talks about applying One Health. For most other topics on Wikipedia, these aspects are usually in the same article. I've put a suggestion for a merger in the "talk" section there too.

 * Yes, I agree with you. You could put the merger tag onto the article itself. Or just go ahead and merge (if no objections in a week or two). EMsmile (talk) 02:04, 30 July 2020 (UTC)

promotionalism
This is a promotional press release, with the cvarious projects allocate a section each to explain their cause. That is not apppopriate or a article. The first step might be to remove a fe of the personal names, and not link each organization everywhere it appears. `` DGG ( talk ) 01:28, 21 April 2022 (UTC)
