Review and update

I'm going to attempt to review this article over the next few weeks. Reasons are:-

• many citations and most of the text are <10 years old , they don't reflect recent developments
• some citations are now deadlinks
• uncited content
• undue weight in some areas

Other faults as listed in Talk:Influenza_A_virus_subtype_H5N1/GA1

Recentism

Thank you User:Robertpedley for tackling {{update}}.

However, I am concerned that too much historical information was removed in Template:Diff and Template:Diff. That content had references. Wikipedia didn't delete other historical information about viruses such as smallpox and the covid variants. If to restore the historical perspective, we need to create a new page, we should. 174.92.25.207 (talk) 23:48, 8 July 2024 (UTC)

@174.92.25.207 thanks for keeping an eye on my edits.

I think "recentism " would apply if I had removed something historical and inserted something similar but recent. I haven't done that in either of those edits.

However I have removed chunks of material which had been placed by other editors, probably some time ago . I don't like to remove other people's work; the edit summary gives a brief reason but I'll explain why in more detail.

Edit [1] removed a chunk of material dated around 2007 headed "Genetics". This may have been valid at the time, but it is no longer so; the virus has mutated considerably of the last 17 years. It is based on primary information sources, so Wikipedia:No original research may apply. Certainly no secondary sources contain this amount of detail. Quite a lot of it would not be accessible to the majority of potential readers. (Wikipedia:Make technical articles understandable). There is an excellent page H5N1 genetic structure which does this. A very brief outline is all that is needed here.

For edit [2] - the first paragraph is uncited and contains several inaccuracies (e.g. It is not known to affect humans at all."). The remainder is a an uncited and incomplete list of LPAI detections (mostly in North America) between 1966 and 2009 (there were thousands of detections worldwide).

In both cases, I have attempted add content which which summarises relevant parts of the history, and gives an accessible explanation of the current position. It's still work in progress - I'll get back to it in a couple of days. I'm sure improvements are possible! Bob (talk) 20:03, 9 July 2024 (UTC)

Ah ok, if Template:Tpq, then it's nice that you are removing information duplicated on other pages.

But on that article, even if Template:Tpq, I am interested in learning from things like the historical SARS-CoV-2_Alpha_variant even if the most prevalent variant is now SARS-CoV-2_Omicron_variant. Though given that other subarticle, I am now happy with the removal from this page so that readers get the most accurate and relevant medical information and I agree with you on the WP:PRIMARY, WP:MTAU, and outline points.

For the 2nd edit, I agree paragraph 1 is inaccurate and the list is incomplete. I was initially concerned because I saw a lot of paragraphs with <ref>s deleted. I usually can't see how WP:SYNTH applies to lists, but OK this list didn't appear to be of quality.

I was going to but won't restore the 2007 phylogenetics because it would be better as a cladogram image; I wonder if there are any recent studies. I won't readd, because I've never heard of, influenzareport (self-published?) although it could have been considered reliable in the past. The only thing I think worth restoring might be the WHO/USDA thing to Global_spread_of_H5N1_in_2006. 174.92.25.207 (talk) 22:03, 9 July 2024 (UTC)
