thread_title:  Immunity 

message: The fact sheet that is linked to the document states 15 out of 26 died, while the main document states 16 out of 26 died. What is this called? Acceptable exaggeration? Wiki Hype?
Not to mention why is information being used from 1998 when there is known and accepted documentation which is more recent.
Why is there no documentation regarding the fact that the disease is classified as an STD and can be passed on through sex. (with humans not monkeys).
Why is there no mention of precautionary measures when infected from sexual intercourse or another human. Especially considering the difference in the amount of people who get infected by humans as opposed to monkeys.
The information is incomplete, out of date and in some cases either exaggerated or just outright wrong.
Sadly like almost every wiki page it is absolutely useless for anything other than general/specular information.
It doesn't help that any idiot who is even slightly computer literate can just come along and type what they want. I am sure there is some idiot out there who uses this website as a factual information source.
The online wiki was not allowed to be used as an information source when I was at university. I was unsure of this but after the few articles I have read/reviewed I can assure that I will do my best to make sure that this is the case in the future for where I am at.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 115.70.64.144 (talk) 20:53, 25 October 2011 (UTC)

replies: text: Macacine alphaherpesvirus 1 →  – WP:COMMONNAME and WP:MEDTITLE refer to "most commonly used" names for the article title, and the use of the ICTV name in the title is unnecessary and not particularly common in the literature (either "monkey B virus" or "B virus" alone seems to be the current trend, and most usage of "Macacine alphaherpesvirus 1" seems to be in parentheses alongside a more common "B virus" name—PubMed verifies this, too). I can see the potential argument that B virus is too broad and could refer to, say, the Hepatitis B virus, but given that B virus already redirects here, I don't think it's unreasonable to move it back to its more common name.  17:45, 29 January 2021 (UTC)
