Thanks for starting this! And the Wikidata project is awesome also. Hopefully we can get more of this data into wikidata itself... On Sun, Mar 15, 2020 at 6:01 PM Alessandro Marchetti via Wikimedia-l < wikimedia-l@lists.wikimedia.org> wrote: > I took images of an almost empty Milan Central trai

The thread was about COVID-19, not about "COVID", so no idea really why Doc James replied talking about something else. But I don't want to go on with that subject, at Pine's request. What I wanted to say about it, I've already said. Thanks, Paulo Andy Mabbett escreveu no dia domingo, 15/03/2020

I photographed the COVID-19 isolation room at our local university (it's precisely in front of the cabinet I usually work in), and created the category for COVID-19 isolations: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:COVID-19_isolations Best, Paulo Yaroslav Blanter escreveu no dia domingo,

Just to remark that I went today to a supermarket to take a picture of empty shelves and eventually to upload it to Commons. Which I did (and eventually I added one of the photographs to an English Wikipedia article), just to discover that several people had the same idea before me, including one i

Hello, May I suggest that the discussion regarding the name take place somewhere other than Wikimedia-l? I think that a talk page of one of the relevant articles on English Wikipedia, a WikiProject Medicine talk page, or the WikiProject Medicine Mailing List, would all be reasonable venues. Pine

Congratulations for the new project. Possibly you could start by moving the "coronavirus" pandemic articles at wiki.en to the proper name of the disease, COVID-19. No idea why the English Wikipedia insists naming this disease with the name of a group of virus that causes a number of other differen

Hello, A few Wikipedians on English Wikipedia have decided to start a WikiProject on COVID-19 on English Wikipedia to work more systematically and collaboratively on the subject. The WikiProject is started by [[User:Another Believer]] on 15 March, and very quickly got ~20 participants and several d
