Hi Colin, it is good to hear from you!! I have had a lot of real life stuff piling up lately and haven't had a lot of time to contribute lately. I took a look at the Rubella article. According to several articles I was able to dig up, epidemic Rubella has been eliminated from the US.  (by Stanley  Plotkin no less) and . This article is also quite clear on the matter. Whether this woman really had rubella and where she got it are not clear from the ""podcast"" and neither is a Podcast a reliable source. I guess  what I am saying is that I think RS must trump unverifiable trivia at every turn. Would you like for me to change it, or post a comment on the talk page?

Oh polio, my dear friend polio... I am not sure what to do with her. I think that the recent changes Marco made have really helped, but I am not sure that it fulfills the 1a requirements? I would like to take her to FA at some point but I am really busy right now, maybe in a few weeks I will take it to task, so if you might have a chance to look at it and give me your thoughts that would be quite helpful. 

I dunno what happened to Marco?? (Picturing my self wandering around a swimming pool with my eyes closed here) I will give an email shout if I don't hear anything soon, just to make sure he hasn't given up or anything. 
Wrt to Rubella. I'd appreciate it if you were bold and edited the article, mentioning the talk page in an edit summary, and explained there the difference between eliminated and eradicated. I'll back you up if necessary. °Talk "
