Feedback[edit]

Hey Mimieux. Interesting choice of topic, but one that you'll need to be careful with. It's really important to avoid giving medical advice - see WP:NOTMANUAL. Medical articles also have higher sourcing standards (WP:MEDRS), so you'll need to be working mostly with journal articles. As far as your organization, I'm not sure you need to have a separate section for each pathogen, as there are a lot of them out there. The current article is quite short, so there's room for expansion, but you'll probably want to aim for a more generalized organization. Nikkimaria (talk) 02:16, 19 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
