WikiProject COVID-19 aims to add to and build consensus for pages relating to COVID-19. They have so far discussed items listed below. Please discuss proposed improvements to them at the project talk page.
For infoboxes on the main articles of countries, use Wuhan, Hubei, China for the origin parameter. (March 2020)
"Social distancing" is generally preferred over "physical distancing". (April 2020, May 2020)
Page title
COVID-19 (full caps) is preferable in the body of all articles, and in the title of all articles/category pages/etc.(RM April 2020, including the main article itself, RM March 2021).
SARS-CoV-2 (exact capitalisation and punctuation) is the common name of the virus and should be used for the main article's title, as well as in the body of all articles, and in the title of all other articles/category pages/etc. (June 2022, overturning April 2020)
Map
There is no consensus about which color schemes to use, but they should be consistent within articles as much as possible. There is agreement that there should be six levels of shading, plus gray for areas with no instances or no data. (May 2020)
There is no consensus about whether the legend, the date, and other elements should appear in the map image itself. (May 2020)
For map legends, ranges should use fixed round numbers (as opposed to updating dynamically). There is no consensus on what base population to use for per capita maps. (May 2020)

Wiki Education Foundation-supported course assignment[edit]

I left the following feedback for the creator/future reviewers while reviewing this article: Great article on a very imaginative and important topic. Best of luck with it and keep up the good work!.
Attention editors of this page! Please only add sourced information that DIRECTLY ATTRIBUTES the pandemic as a contributing factor to a decision. If a bankruptcy has been filed and it does not cite COVID-19 directly, then it does not belong on this page. Please cite your sources!

Since the above post by User:Windyshadow32 we've had zero sources added, and multiple new unsourced additions. Unsourced claims that a store has closed are bad enough, but unsourced claims that don't even mention COVID-19 as a reason are even worse. This is not a coat rack to list every store that has closed. I'll give it a bit of time, but the recent additions are all going to go if they are not sourced with proof that this was pandemic related. Meters (talk) 02:11, 13 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
And adding a source [1] that does not support most of the claims and does not mention the pandemic isn't going to help. Meters (talk) 19:00, 14 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Removed the last few months. Almost completely unsourced., and what few refs there were failed verification. Meters (talk) 03:22, 21 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
