text: also your edit contains a bunch of orthographic errors and jargon for the reader, might wanna reword it.--Wuerzele (talk) 20:56, 14 May 2015 (UTC)

thread_title: Merged

message: I was doing my work in patrolling new pages when a new editor wrote an article Fasciola hepatica and tuberculosis, there was a merge tag on it and I did the merge.  As for orthographic errors, I admit my ignorance and don't even know what you mean by that.  As for the acronymns, I'll take a look and do a google search to get them defined.  I didn't know fluke articles could be so busy!

thread_title: Explanation

message: Just wondering if (again) we have too much detail here about epidemiology or if it's OK like this. The main information about the disease should be in the disease article, not in the organism article. But perhaps it's just fine like this.EvMsmile (talk) 12:30, 22 April 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: The first two paragraphs under epidemiology are not epidemiology; more like transmission. The 4th paragraph is disease burden. The last paragraph is diagnosis. I'll put this on my to do list. juanTamad (talk) 12:52, 22 April 2016 (UTC)

text: Epidemiology is the study and analysis of the patterns, causes, and effects of health and disease conditions in defined populations. Should there be an epidemiology section on the organism page at all? juanTamad (talk) 13:08, 22 April 2016 (UTC)
replies: text:  My answer would be no. We've tried hard to differentiate (for all helminths) between the organism article and the disease article. Note there is a hatnote for that section saying "For more information on the epidemiology – see the disease page, fasciolosis". So I think the heading should be given a different title (transmission perhaps?) and then cut down and anything to do with the disease moved to the disease page. Unless it's too hard to differentiate between transmission and disease information? EvMsmile (talk) 14:08, 24 April 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: Propose DELETION.  I'm going to leave this message here for a week. If there are no objections, I'll delete the epidemiology section from this article and make sure there is a link to the disease page. Look at Plasmodium falciparum. There is no epidemiology section. juanTamad (talk) 01:39, 25 April 2016 (UTC)
replies: text:  I agree in principle  but perhaps rather than a complete delete, check if there is new info here that is not on the disease page and if yes, rather merge it into the disease article? Also the part about transmission could stay, I guess? EvMsmile (talk) 05:20, 25 April 2016 (UTC)
replies: text:  Hi, I tried to generalize and simplify info about human fasciolosis into two short sentences. i hope it is ok.--Flukeman (talk) 08:02, 6 May 2016 (UTC)
thread_title:  Too much detail in epidemiological section?

message: I don't understand why the previous editor built up the information about the disease here. We're trying to have two separate pages for each helminth: one is for the organism and one is for the disease. Therefore, why refer to the article on fascioliasis plus then also putting disease information on this page? I suggest to move it across (if it's not already on the other page).

replies: text: Do it. If not certain about something, leave it, and will reconsider. (This sentence is poorly written [and clearly disease information]: "Infection begins when cyst-covered aquatic vegetation is eaten or when water containing metacercariae is drunk. "). The first sentences about causing disease in humans and how it's transmitted to humans could be condensed and placed in (probably) the lede with a link to the disease page (actually a link is already there so probably not needed). Then a section headed "epidemiology" deleted. I think "diagnosis" could be treated the same way, or probably not even a mention of diagnosis. No need for a section with the title diagnosis.

replies: text:  I agree with you but even better would be to get the user on board who added the content so that he/she doesn't get disheartened. I've just left a message on their talk page (it's a new user, User:Sfmuirhead). EvMsmile (talk) 00:40, 2 May 2016 (UTC)
