Wikipedia:Collaboration of the week/H5N1

H5N1

 * Nominated on 20:55, 24 July 2005 (UTC); needs 5 votes by July 31.

Experts are saying this virus is heading for pandemic and may wipe out a significant chunk of humanity, much worse than the Spanish flu since China made it immune to a modern medication. Several great stories have been run on the subject in Nature, Foreign Affairs and the Nation magazine, not to mention hundreds of resources found using H5N1 in the Google news search. All accessible over the Internet, what we need now is a few good Wikipedians to translate it into the Wiki database. The subject is of the highest importance and we only have a stub! If it all possible I suggest this be given precedence and bumped up to next week’s collaboration and stay there until it is sufficiently expanded. When this virus hits pandemic, in all probability soon, Wikipedia will be embarrassed if only a stub remains.
