Timeline incomplete

[edit]

The Timeline section seems incomplete. It is probably lacking information in the sections before May. This is obvious as the May and June sections are full, as the article was created on May 1. I don't know where to search for the lacking information since it will not come up in Google searches and I don't know what to search for. If you find a piece of news from March and April worth adding to the section, please do so. Qwerty325 (talk) 19:48, 13 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I found a lot of the missing news in COVID-19 pandemic in Massachusetts from March and April, which I will copy over into the sections. However, the Massachusetts article is still missing a lot of Boston-specific info. If someone knows how to find old news articles, please do so. Qwerty325 (talk) 02:27, 4 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Societal effects

[edit]

This article about the COVID-19 pandemic is missing a Societal effects section. If anyone has any information on the societal effects specifically in Boston, please reply in this section. Please find the government's webpage on societal effects so these can be added to the article. Thank you! Qwerty325 (talk) 01:11, 16 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I looked through the Societal effects section in COVID-19 pandemic in Massachusetts and found some of the information needed for the section. However, I don't think that info includes all necessary info for the section. I will slowly be creating that section over the next few days, but if someone could find the remaining info, that would be great. --Qwerty325 (talk) 02:23, 4 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Government response sections

[edit]

Many COVID-19 pandemic articles, including COVID-19 pandemic in Massachusetts, have decided to divide their Government response into subsections. The Government response of this article would also benefit from this, as readers will not be obliged to read the whole section to find what information they desire. However, this Government response would compose of different sections than other articles. I am not an experienced editor, so I don't know what subsections should be included. If you see this, please reply in this discussion the suggested headings for the proposed subsections. Then I will be able to efficiently and correctly complete this reorganization.

I have divided the section into 5 subsections. If you think the subsection headers' names should be changed, please do so. --Qwerty325 (talk) 17:02, 15 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

.svg file map

[edit]

Hi Wikipedians. I have used Excel to create a map of COVID-19 case rates by neighborhood in Boston. This produced a .jpg file that was added to the infobox. However, most COVID-19 articles use a .svg file map in the infobox. I am not experienced enough in HTML to create a .svg file, but if someone can, please do so using the data in Template:COVID-19 pandemic data/Boston medical cases by district.

I have now, as a temporary alternative, created a .png file map. This has a transparent background, a color scheme, and allows for a separate legend. However, the quality of the image is not as good as a .svg map. Please create a similar .svg file with the same color scheme. Qwerty325 (talk) 21:06, 8 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
