Overview section

this section uses citation to other wikipedia articles, which cant be used as a citation on wikipedia, plus the populations are cited, while the other colmns of the tables are not, I ll try to work on it for a while, using citation to the latest who report here, and the population citation should be changed to other reference, maybe CIA fact book, thank you :-) MaenK.A._Talk 08:05, 19 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Antarctica and Argentina

H1N1 Argentina Map.svg
Deaths/Confirmed/Suspected map
H1N1 Argentina map by confirmed cases.svg
Confirmed cases map
H1N1 Argentina deaths.svg
Death count map

The maps of Argentina contain Antarctica... but AFAIK, Argentina respects the Antarctic treaty, is a treaty member, etc... Why does the map contain Antarctica then?

And Antarctica is colored in, does anyone have information on confirmed cases in Antarctica?

Per capita map

Examining the maps which are currently generated for the articles (these are fantastic BTW) sort of gives an alarming picture for parts of the world where large populations exist; as it denotes number of cases above certain thresholds. Are there any schools of thought to create maps noting per capita rates, as it becomes much clearer as to the infection rates and risks? --HJKeats (talk) 13:43, 23 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I think that would be very informative, quite tricky to make though. It would compliment the other maps well. |→ Spaully ^τ 09:04, 24 June 2009 (GMT)

New maps

I made the Oceania map and H1n1 Africa Map is avaliable too.--Vrysxy! (talk) 04:02, 24 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Singapore is currently 12th on 47.5 per capita based on a higher population than that. Added in the hidden comments so editors are aware it may be in the top 10 in future. |→ Spaully ^τ 14:38, 24 June 2009 (GMT)

Proposed article move

As this article has grown and developed, subarticles for countries and continents/regions have also been developed. Consequently, this article no longer deals with the former in abundance but moreso the latter, with much of the article organised in a continental/regional context. So, I propose it be moved to one of:

I prefer the former, as the latter can be interpreted to be vague. (As for Oceania, see that article.) Thoughts? Bosonic dressing (talk) 10:10, 26 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I support the 2nd idea. Much better name. 75.180.44.9 (talk) 01:34, 27 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
