Helminths[edit]

Should probably mention them somewhere, but can't find a spot/wording that fits. Joe Weaver (talk) 19:35, 20 October 2009 (UTC)jeweaver[reply]

Picture[edit]

People in the picture holding the petri dish should probably be wearing gloves — Preceding unsigned comment added by 193.136.177.1 (talk) 16:00, 12 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Adding Page Sections[edit]

Hey everyone! This page looks like it could use some TLC. I looked around at some other occupation pages and I was thinking maybe we could add some sections to the page to organize our thoughts. There doesn't appear to be any set of standard sections for occupation pages unfortunately, so I'd propose Etymology, History (Etymology might be able to get squeeze into the history section), and then maybe Qualifications? Job activities (or some better way of phrasing that)?, Demographics? I'm not so sure about those last few, but I hope others have some good ideas. Thoughts?

Is microbiology a medical specialty or not?=[edit]

Microbiology is a medical specialty (usually termed medical or clinical microbiology and it deals with infectious diseases. However, apart from medicine, is microbiology a specialty of other sciences such as biology? 79.167.103.13 (talk) 14:17, 21 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Merge[edit]

Can someone merge in sections from User:Xorph~enwiki/Microbiologist that improve this, then redirect the userspace page here. Legacypac (talk) 07:03, 24 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

WP:SOFIXIT ? Chiswick Chap (talk) 07:15, 24 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Not an area I'm knowledgable in and hard to do that type of editing on mobile. Legacypac (talk) 07:18, 24 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I can get to this (and turn the links at that draft into text) sometime this week. Anyone else who sees this, feel free to beat me to the punch. Cheers. Ajpolino (talk) 16:55, 24 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose - There doesn't seem to be anything there worth merging, actually. The article needs serious development and reliable sources, neither of them available over there. Suggest we close the merge discussion. Chiswick Chap (talk) 08:15, 10 October 2017 (UTC)::"[reply]

Comment - I took a look through a couple of nights ago (whenever my edit at Microbiologist is time-stamped). The current article is a mess and needs a lot of work. Some of the links from the draft are dead and I couldn't find the documents. Others link to syllabi or other specific instructions which cannot easily be placed into the article at this time. I'd love to salvage something useful from the draft, but I'm not sure that there's anything to merge. Agree with Chiswick Chap that this discussion ought to be closed.

I went through and added some sections and info, relying heavily on the BLS source and a publication from ASM. It's not artful, but at least its a start. Feel free to edit it heavily. Happy editing! Ajpolino (talk) 20:01, 11 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Definitely a good start. And we can close the merger now, it makes no sense (if it ever did). Chiswick Chap (talk) 20:08, 11 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
