Talk:Structure and genome of HIV

message: This material was moved and reorganized from HIV#HIV structure and genome, which now contains a brief summary of the subject. See the history of HIV for changes prior to the move. ←Hob 00:09, 1 November 2005 (UTC)
thread_title: History of this article

message: # Currently, the major proteins that make up HIV are described briefly in the Structure section and then again in the subsections for individual genes. References to the proteins are linked to the genes that code for them. I think is confusing since it's not immediately apparent why clicking on "gp120" goes to "env" - and really, most of the information is about the proteins, not the genes. I suggest instead having subsections for each protein, and converting the list of genes into a simple bullet list that says things like "env: codes for the envelope proteins gp120 and gp41".
# The "genetic variability" section is currently redundant between this article and HIV. Either it should be removed from this article and replaced with a brief "see" link, or the section in the main article should be replaced with a summary and link. ←Hob 00:09, 1 November 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: This should be under the main article, not here. Specific mutations in proteins could be discussed in this section though. --Bob 00:27, 1 November 2005 (UTC)

thread_title: Proposals for further reorganization

message: Can someone change the 1983 on the first line of the main article to 1981; I am unsure how to do citations and someone keeps changing it back to 1983 when the first cases were recorded on June 5th 1981.
Here is evidence, and I am sure that you will find plenty more all over the net and in lots of books:

replies: text: Actually 1983 is correct, 1981 was when the first cases of AIDS were noticed because of the opportunistic infections. The virus itself wasn't discovered until 1983. For the first few years no one knew what was causing it. Luc Montagnier and others in France , and Robert Gallo and others published at the same time here . The search for the cause is covered in And the Band Played On. I'll reword the intro sentence to make this more clear. -Optigan13 (talk) 02:34, 21 May 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Citation 

message: Does the sequence run gp120→gp41, or gp41→gp120?  (Reading N to C, of course.)    02:17, 23 August 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  gp160 

message: I just changed a load of the intra-wiki links as they were direting to the wrong place. Apparently someone else edited at the same time and there was an edit cnflict? I dont know what that means though, the links are correct now anywayPhilman132 (talk) 12:21, 18 May 2009 (UTC)

message: Why isnt this in yet?!?!?!
I came to this article expecting this specifically to be focued on and so am quite surprised such a breakthrough (the EXACT, atom by atom) capsid structure model discovery not even mentioned! Why?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.37.135.2 (talk) 15:41, 6 June 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: If I'm not mistaken, this primary research publication was in the most recent issue of Nature. Wikipedia emphasises secondary sources that help to place primary sources in proper context (see WP:MEDRS). That said, there is probably a place for this finding in the article, and I would encourage you to be bold and edit as you see fit. Cheers! Keepcalmandcarryon (talk) 15:56, 6 June 2013 (UTC)
