Talk:Cholera

Big difference in timelines
There is a big difference in timelines between the history section of this article, and the individual articles that are wikilinked. It is hard for me to tell which set of dates is right because I don't have access to the references, and also I think someone needs to judge which references are more reliable.

 * Just to give one example: in the Cholera article, the "third" epidemic is said to have been from 1839–56, but the wikilinked article 1852–60 cholera pandemic (redirected from Third cholera pandemic says it was 1852–60. LaurentianShield (talk) 16:13, 29 December 2017 (UTC)
 * Agreed this was messed up. Rather than doing the audit, it seems more likely we'll highlight any potential problems by making the set of articles consistent with one another. I copied a lot of the prose out of Cholera into the introduction of Cholera outbreaks and pandemics, only to realize that the years were different. Hopefully, if there are mistakes in the current version, an expert is more likely to notice. RobLa (talk) 03:55, 4 April 2018 (UTC)

References in "Prevention" Section
Here's a list of references that might help:

"Cloth filters or sari filtration, though very basic, have significantly reduced the occurrence of cholera when used in poor villages in Bangladesh that rely on untreated surface water"

In fiction
There are a number of important books that could be mentioned in a separate section: Camus: La Peste, Mann: TOd in Venedig, and I just read a short report by Bram Stoker's mother about cholera in Ireland. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Cosine12 (talk • contribs) 00:08, 26 March 2020 (UTC)

 * Red information icon with gradient background.svg Not done for now: please establish a consensus for this alteration before using the template. Rummskartoffel (talk) 09:58, 30 June 2020 (UTC)
 * Consensus? For a obviously wrong category? IN:BEBOLD.
 * Red information icon with gradient background.svg Not done for now: The section above the content box states Although it is classified as a pandemic as of 2010, it is rare in the developed world. So I would not consider the category to be wrong and, as has already been said, I would discuss this first. TheImaCow (talk) 20:06, 30 June 2020 (UTC)
 * preddy damn tenuous. catagories are all or nothing not  tenouosus stuff.  besides the colora pandemics CATEGORY is in the padedemics category. FFS
