WikiProject COVID-19[edit]

I've created WikiProject COVID-19 as a temporary or permanent WikiProject and invite editors to use this space for discussing ways to improve coverage of the ongoing 2019–20 coronavirus pandemic. Please bring your ideas to the project/talk page. Stay safe, --Another Believer _(Talk) 17:32, 15 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Mask controversy[edit]

@Ktrimi991, Cinadon36, and Vargmali: [[1]] --Calthinus (talk) 17:54, 16 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Yep, there is a controversy over the masks. IMO content dedicated to it should be added to the article. If you need more sources I can give you some. Ktrimi991 (talk) 17:59, 16 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, every mistake (with RS) must be noted. --Calthinus (talk) 18:02, 16 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Separate section, or for a section about the erm... difficulties faced by Albania's limited medical capacity? --Calthinus (talk) 20:39, 16 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

IMO, a subsection within the Measures section would be more suitable. But of course I am not against the creation of a separate section. Ktrimi991 (talk) 20:48, 16 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Curfew[edit]

[2] --Calthinus (talk) 18:04, 16 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Probably the most interesting thing about the situation in Albania. Ktrimi991 (talk) 18:09, 16 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Analysis[edit]

Ktrimi991 I read an article a bit back that said what lies between Albania's so-called "draconian" measures of late is the dread in the minds of officials of the knowledge that most of Albania's medical professionals have emigrated, especially to Germany, from whence they won't return as Germany has high demand for them too. Can't find it now. Can you? --Calthinus (talk) 18:38, 16 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Nvm, found another. --Calthinus (talk) 18:47, 16 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

OK. Ktrimi991 (talk) 18:52, 16 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Calthinus:, the article has info on measures by religious communities except of the Muslim Community. A relevant addition, based on sources like [3] would be great. Ktrimi991 (talk) 20:53, 16 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

You missed the Sunni community response from before the war declaration. --Calthinus (talk) 20:59, 16 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I.e. it's in the prior section.--Calthinus (talk) 20:59, 16 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hahaha It seems that I need to read the article more carefully. :) Ktrimi991 (talk) 21:04, 16 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Or I organized it poorly haha --Calthinus (talk) 21:16, 16 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Organization[edit]

Ktrimi991 how easy do you think this page is to navigate? Does it need a better organization? --Calthinus (talk) 20:16, 16 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

It is very good, both on the desktop and mobile version. I would add a kind of small background section for more context. The Timeline section needs to be expanded so the Measures section does not have some possible undue weight, and readers find more information on what is going on. After all, some people might be more interested in such facts as the location of cases, the background of the confirmed cases, the reaction of ordinary people or possible political and economic consequences rather than what measures the government is taking. IMO. Ktrimi991 (talk) 20:31, 16 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Yes -- those things should be added. I'm a bit caught between chronological organization, organization by actor, organization by policy or other things... --Calthinus (talk) 20:38, 16 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

No worries. I will give some help. Maybe @Vargmali: and @Βατο: too. Ktrimi991 (talk) 20:45, 16 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The chart[edit]

...is broken. And the issue seems to have to do with the wikicode, which apparently was changed exterior to this page. Someone please fix this, it is now an eyesore. --Calthinus (talk) 21:52, 14 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
