Talk:Astrovirus

message: I suggest that this article should be merged with Astroviridae and that the article should be called Astrovirus. Comments please GrahamColmTalk 19:02, 1 December 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I just think that readers are more likely to write Astrovirus  in the search box than they are Astroviridae. Not that this matters so much; they would reach the article after another click of the mouse or two. Best wishes, Graham. --GrahamColmTalk 19:12, 2 December 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Proposed merger (2007) 

message: What's the etymology for this? From the name, I was expecting a virus that came from space. --BDD (talk) 22:03, 19 March 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: It's because they look like stars when negatively-stained and imaged by electron microscopy. Astroviruses look like six-pointed stars with a solid center, whereas caliciviruses look like six-pointed ones with a hollow center. Here's a reference:  Graham Colm (talk) 22:42, 19 March 2014 (UTC)

message: I added additional information concerning the portions of the population the virus infects and why along with the variation in symptoms found and where the virus propagates within the host.

thread_title:  Meningoencephalitis 

message: I would like to make a separate Wikipedia page for Human astroviruses and move all the information specific to human astroviruses from this page to the new page. I would also like to add more information on the Astroviridae family of viruses to this pageTolu9 (talk) 22:34, 29 April 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: Hi, you should make the new page first before deleting any content from this article, which will still require a discussion and consensus.Graham Beards (talk) 06:25, 30 April 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: OK, thank you. I have created another page for the astroviridae family of viruses (in my sandbox) and I would like to add that information to the Astroviridae article that was merged with the Astrovirus article in 2007. My reasoning is that on the table of clinically relevant Viral diseases, human astroviruses and astroviridae are the only pair that don't have their individual Wikipedia articles. Furthermore, the current Astrovirus article disproportionately covers human astroviruses.Tolu9 (talk) 16:46, 1 May 2020 (UTC)
thread_title: Proposed movement of content specific to Human astroviruses to a separate Wikipedia page

message: Hello, I am a student editor and I was wondering if it would be okay for me to maybe add on to the article with more information about Astrovirus in the various animals it affects, perhaps under a new section? Comments or suggestions?ClerisySmir (talk) 02:56, 19 September 2020 (UTC)
thread_title:  Non-human astrovirus 

message: I am fixing errors in references. Some errors are displayed in the references straight after a reference (with red colored font), while other errors or warnings merely add the article to a category such as https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:CS1_maint:_overridden_setting -- see https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Search&limit=500&offset=0&ns0=1&search=deepcat%3A%22CS1+maint%3A+overridden+setting%22&advancedSearch-current=%7B%22fields%22%3A%7B%22deepcategory%22%3A%5B%22CS1+maint%3A+overridden+setting%22%5D%7D%7D
For example, if you see this revision: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Astrovirus&oldid=1199329968 -- you will see that reference #3, #44 and #46 have errors ": |journal= ignored (help)", and the page is in the categories "CS1 errors: periodical ignored" and "CS1 maint: overridden setting", whereas later revision (after my fixes) https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Astrovirus&oldid=1199348085 resolves these errors and removes the page from these 2 categories.
