GA review – see WP:WIAGA for criteria

  1. Is it well written?
    A. The prose is clear and concise, and the spelling and grammar are correct:
    B. It complies with the manual of style guidelines for lead sections, layout, words to watch, fiction, and list incorporation:
    Lead section: OK.• • • Peter (Southwood) (talk): 14:10, 28 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
    Layout: OK. • • • Peter (Southwood) (talk): 07:51, 29 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
    Words to watch. OK. • • • Peter (Southwood) (talk): 15:59, 29 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
    Fiction: N/A • • • Peter (Southwood) (talk): 14:10, 28 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
    Lists: OK. • • • Peter (Southwood) (talk): 07:52, 29 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
    thank you--Ozzie10aaaa (talk) 11:38, 29 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  2. Is it verifiable with no original research?
    A. It contains a list of all references (sources of information), presented in accordance with the layout style guideline:
    thank you--Ozzie10aaaa (talk) 12:39, 29 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
    B. All in-line citations are from reliable sources, including those for direct quotations, statistics, published opinion, counter-intuitive or controversial statements that are challenged or likely to be challenged, and contentious material relating to living persons—science-based articles should follow the scientific citation guidelines:
    Checking whether sources are reliable is being slowed down by some of the references not including the publisher. I will not insist on adding the publisher etc to refs, but it is good practice and reduces the risk of losing them to a dead link sometime. I am partly fixing as I find them. • • • Peter (Southwood) (talk): 13:08, 28 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
    thank you--Ozzie10aaaa (talk) 13:23, 28 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
    There are a few bare urls among the references. If those links get broken, there is no way of knowing what the reference was, and all the material associated becomes unreferenced. This can be a real pain to fix later, so I strongly recommend fixing them now. • • • Peter (Southwood) (talk): 14:59, 28 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

    A. It addresses the main aspects of the topic:
    thank you--Ozzie10aaaa (talk) 12:39, 29 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
    B. It stays focused on the topic without going into unnecessary detail (see summary style):
    Very broad in its coverage. Lots of detail, but I cannot say whether any of it is unnecessary.• • • Peter (Southwood) (talk): 15:58, 29 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  4. Is it neutral?
    It represents viewpoints fairly and without editorial bias, giving due weight to each:
  5. Is it stable?
    It does not change significantly from day to day because of an ongoing edit war or content dispute:
    thank you--Ozzie10aaaa (talk) 12:39, 29 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  6. Is it illustrated, if possible, by images?
    A. Images are tagged with their copyright status, and valid fair use rationales are provided for non-free content:
    All good
    thank you--Ozzie10aaaa (talk) 12:35, 29 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
    B. Images are relevant to the topic, and have suitable captions:

[edit]
Please check casualty figures against reference - Total suspected cases and total deaths do not tally with local cases in infobox and 1st paragraph.
Ok, this is something we went thru in the process of the covering the outbreak....1. the table at the bottom of the article reflects the numbers (not including flare-ups) since the thinking was the main outbreak was over, though there could be additional isolated cases (flare-ups) but not the mass outbreak that had been observed until then... 2. the infobox does include the flare-up numbers (however should you believe an adjustment is warranted I am open to any adjustment in text (or numbers)?....(the infobox numbers and lede numbers are the same)
The current reference gives 28616 suspected cases and 11310 deaths against 28657 and 11325 in the lede and infobox, and the totals at the bottom of the columns in the infobox are not arithmetically correct sums of the figures above them in the columns. Either there are errors, or something is missing. • • • Peter (Southwood) (talk): 12:31, 28 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
your correct, (it was the last two countries to have flare ups, I adjusted the numbers)... however if you look at these numbers [1] (minus UK and Italy that are not there, but had 1 case each) and add it to [2] youll get the number at the bottom?? (and it still does not add up)--Ozzie10aaaa (talk) 13:19, 28 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Article title in 1st sentence not bolded. I don't understand the hidden comment referring. Per MOS:BOLDTITLE and WP:SBE, neither the article's title nor related text appears in bold. Done..
(the WP:SBE means Wikipedia:Superfluous_bolding_explained I have deleted the hidden comment and "bolded")
OK, sorted.
I could not find Sardinia mentioned in the reference given.
Reference added  Done
Although the epidemic is no longer out of control, flare-ups of the disease are likely to continue for some time. How long? Does this refer to some time from March 2016? Is this statement still valid?
According to this statement from WHO [3] the answer is yes, however as time goes by the possibilities diminish (over time). That is not to say an independent new outbreak could start, however it would not be seen as a continuation of this one, I could cite this in the text if you think appropriate?
Sorry, nor expressing myself well. My point is that "for some time" is an indefinite duration with an unclear starting point. Will it still be a valid statement in 3 months, or a year, assuming no-one edits it? It would be preferable if a more definite period could be indicated, so it can be clear whether further outbreaks would be considered part of this epidemic, or a distinct later event. • • • Peter (Southwood) (talk): 12:31, 28 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • As the epidemic waned, following international control efforts, the 8 April 2015 edition of WHO's Ebola Situation Reports stated that a total of 30 cases were reported[50][69] These references do not support the number quoted, and there is no link to 8 April ed of setrep, which probably does. It is a little confusing. If the sitrep gives 30 as the number, why are the other refs there? Also clarify if these were new cases. • • • Peter (Southwood) (talk): 08:15, 29 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Experimental treatments, vaccines and testing

[edit]

About 15 different vaccines were in preclinical stages of development; these included DNA vaccines, virus-like particles and viral vectors (vesicular stomatitis virus, human adenovirus, and vaccinia virus). Another 7, as yet unheard-of, vaccines (ChAd3, MVA-BNFilo, Ad26, MVA-EBOZ, rAd5, rVSV and VLP), were also being developed. Wikilink these where possible.

Criticism of WHO
[edit]
  • There has been significant criticism of the WHO from some aid agencies because its response was perceived as slow and insufficient, is a bit on the weaselly side. Could this be more specific? I see it is detailed in the following text. • • • Peter (Southwood) (talk): 10:04, 29 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
----------
  • The panel indicated that the response begged strong operational capacity within the WHO and as well as the aid system, if outbreaks turned into emergencies; a politically protected system for WHO emergency declarations; and strong mechanisms for the responsibility of all parties, from national governments to non-governmental organizations to UN agencies. Furthermore, mobilisation of the understanding needed to fight outbreaks would require an international structure of rules to enable access to the benefits of research, and financing to establish technology when commercial motivations were not appropriate. Can this be rewritten so the meaning is immediately clear? The rest of the paragraph might also benefit by more straightforward language. Who are the "panel", and are all instances of "they" in this paragraph referring to this panel? • • • Peter (Southwood) (talk): 10:21, 29 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
the panel refers to [27] (abstract, ive got access to Science direct should the full text be needed)...they is interchangeable w/ panel...I will flesh out the text in question towards a clearer meaning--Ozzie10aaaa (talk) 10:41, 29 October 2016 (UTC)....have changed text [28] Done--Ozzie10aaaa (talk) 10:51, 29 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Timeline of reported cases and deaths

[edit]
yes, for the table information (in some instances we would go directly to the site of the ministry of "x,y,z country" as many times they were faster with case and mortality counts than WHO) --Ozzie10aaaa (talk) 17:22, 28 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
I suggest putting the data sources information as either a note included in the table, or if it refers to both tables, as a footnote linked from both tables. Then you would not need subsections in the timeline section. • • • Peter (Southwood) (talk): 09:00, 29 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
[29] is this ok?--Ozzie10aaaa (talk) 09:21, 29 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Note 1: Cases include confirmed, probable and suspected per the WHO, numbers are the cumulative figures as published on the given date, and due to retrospective revisions, differences between successive weekly totals are not necessarily the number of new cases that week.

Note 2: Data are from reports by the WHO Global Alert and Response Unit[Resource 1] and the WHO's Regional Office for Africa.[Resource 2] All numbers are correlated with UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA), if available.[Resource 3] The reports were sourced from official information from the affected countries' health ministries. The WHO has stated that the reported numbers "vastly underestimate the magnitude of the outbreak", estimating there may be three times as many cases as officially reported.[8][9][10]

  • Date is the "as of" date from the reference. A single source may report statistics for multiple "as of" dates.
  • Numbers with ≥ may not be consistent due to under reporting.
Do you know what these bulleted notes refer to? • • • Peter (Southwood) (talk): 13:56, 29 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
since the Ebola outbreak was so fast in mortality around summer of 2014, a lot of underreporting was suspected, particularly w/ Sierra Leone 14,122 /3,955 if you notice number and the percentage is way off, it was suspected that undercounting was going on. Therefore, ≥ meant equal or greated than the number that was actually being reported. To expand, Liberia and Guinea had numbers that were in line (more or less) w/ the mortality rate though it was still suspected that in villages (or towns) that were more remote there was undercounting as well. However, in terms of Sierra Leone the numbers of cases to death never added up.[32]--Ozzie10aaaa (talk) 14:06, 29 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Not what I meant. There are no backlinks, so which part of the text are they referring to? The tables? • • • Peter (Southwood) (talk): 15:26, 29 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
yes the tables... it was eventually placed at West_African_Ebola_virus_epidemic_timeline_of_reported_cases_and_deaths b/c the tables had gotten so long they needed to be shortened--Ozzie10aaaa (talk) 15:38, 29 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
If they are still relevant, maybe they could also go in at the bottom of the tables. • • • Peter (Southwood) (talk): 16:14, 29 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
the reason they were placed in a separate article was that we had too much, what was left was the basic last days of the outbreak, plus the infobox--Ozzie10aaaa (talk) 16:18, 29 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Can they be deleted? They do not seem to serve any useful purpose at present. • • • Peter (Southwood) (talk): 19:45, 30 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
sure, however Wikipedia:WikiProject Disaster management and Wikipedia:WikiProject Statistics might find the information useful...[33]--Ozzie10aaaa (talk) 20:03, 30 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Does the "as of" apply to both tables?

as of to both tables, I will remove the greater than/equal symbol--Ozzie10aaaa (talk) 20:32, 30 October 2016 (UTC)[34] Done[reply]
"as of" should then be linked from the "Date" cell of both tables, or included in the internal notes for both tables, otherwise it is not apparent what it applies to. • • • Peter (Southwood) (talk): 04:04, 31 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

General comments

[edit]
  1. This is a very big article. It is unlikely that many readers will have the interest or attention span to actually read the whole thing at a sitting. Consider splitting it at some stage. This is a big job, and not a requirement of the GA criteria. I don't require it to be done, just saying consider the possibility, particularly if you want to take it to FA at some time. • • • Peter (Southwood) (talk): 16:40, 28 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
    ok, I will (I'm almost done with the references)--Ozzie10aaaa (talk) 16:56, 28 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  2. I have no idea if there is a MEDMOS order for the sections for epidemics. I looked but couldn't find one. If there is I trust you will have conformed as required. • • • Peter (Southwood) (talk): 17:08, 28 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
    yes per Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style/Medicine-related_articles though as you point out there is no exact rule/blueprint--Ozzie10aaaa (talk) 17:20, 28 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  3. I have finished the basic review. There were not many problems, and most have already been satisfactorily fixed. I will be away most of tomorrow, so will probably only be able to check back on Monday. Leave a note when you have dealt with all the outstanding items, so I know when best to start the final check. If you have any queries before that, feel free to comment here or on my talk page. Cheers,• • • Peter (Southwood) (talk): 16:11, 29 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
    thank you--Ozzie10aaaa (talk) 16:16, 29 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  4. Passed. I think I have done all the associated manual administrative edits required of the reviewer. Good work. • • • Peter (Southwood) (talk): 06:02, 31 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
thank you, it was a privilege to work w/ you--Ozzie10aaaa (talk) 10:27, 31 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
