No, I don't think so. I did leave a note saying "This table includes countries with over 100 cases ONLY, do not re-add countries with less than 100 cases" on the "2009 flu pandemic by country table section" edit page. Before I had made the edit, below the table, it says "Includes countries with over 100 confirmed cases only" You should probably have noticed it before you made the edit. Have a nice day.

Unreferenced changes

Appreciate very much your contributions to the pandemic table, but I notice you've lately started posting unreferenced and unsubstantiated nunbers. Do you not have references for these?

Added the references. All these numbers change so quickly I sometimes post them and forget to trace where I took em from. I usually use good sources, I will try to reference everything henceforth.Acolombo1 (talk) 20:16, 11 September 2009 (UTC)

Ecuador

I see that you changed the 9/11 Ecuador number of 1,650 confirmed back to last week's 1,001. I've set it back, buit was curious as to why you did so. Do oyu not consider Xinhua a credible source? That organization is referenced multiple times in the table... Sqlman (talk) 17:41, 11 September 2009 (UTC)

Xinhua is a good source, but i observed some mistakes (one awful indeed). Ecuador official confirmed-lab is 1,001, I believe the 1,650 was quoted from somewhere´s confirmed+suspected.Acolombo1 (talk) 20:11, 11 September 2009 (UTC)

What mistake did you see? At any rate, the 1,001 number you're using is the official confirmed number from September 4th; since then--a week ago--an additional 649 cases have been confirmed. Unless you have a current government source countering what a credible mainstream media source says, please don't replace a current higher case number with a lower and older one. Thanks!

I don´t want to quarrel about this or anything, higher does not always mean more current, ecuadorian press is quoting lab confirmed + epidemiological nexus. Ecuador count was at 1,382 = 900 confirmed + 482 suspected (Aug 26), then jumped to 1,647 (1,115 lab + 532 nexus) (Sep 7), this is apparently where the 1,650 was quoted from.

Hello, Acolombo1. You have new messages at Template_talk:2009_flu_pandemic_table#New_column_for_weekly_estimates.
You can remove this notice at any time by removing the {{Talkback}} or {{Tb}} template.

Additionally to what I have explained on the talk page, I wondered, why you have removed referenced numbers (weekly estimates for UK and Spain) without any explanation?

I hadn´t read the talk page, it´s my mistake. But adding a column to such a big table just for two numbers is not worth. Sorry for the edit, maybe I should be more respectful for other´s work. Acolombo1 (talk) 17:53, 21 October 2009 (UTC)

I like your additions to swine flu!

I like your additions talking about Aust. and N.Z. and how 3rd world countries probably aren't going to be able to afford this expensive stuff, which might be very needed.

Key information, well worth discussing.

I should warn you. I am a radical! With lives at stake, I think it's well-worth relaxing the "rules" of wikipedia. (I am a radical who cites the New Eng Journal of Medicine, makes it much more interesting that way.)

Keep trying. And keep in there swinging. Cool Nerd (talk) 01:33, 28 October 2009 (UTC)
