| quote = Since its creation, the main article has undergone more than 6,500 edits by over 1,200 editors. So large was the deluge of facts and figures relating to the virus that less than two weeks after opening, the main article was forked off to create one devoted to listing the cases of “Wuhan coronavirus outbreak by country and territory.” A few days later another article was opened, displaying a timeline of the outbreak.

China data, Really!

China’s data on the cases vs deaths compared to US data, seems suspect 71.85.252.246 (talk) 19:07, 13 January 2023 (UTC)

Luhansk and Donetsk

{{Ping|Qmwnebrvtcyxuz}} The links to the articles COVID-19 pandemic in the Donetsk People's Republic and COVID-19 pandemic in the Luhansk People's Republic that you restored, have several problems: (1) In 2020, none of them was recognized by any country. Your comparison with Somaliland and Transnistria is problematic, since those unrecognized countries have been stable for nearly 30 years by now. (2) Neither of the linked articles contains data after April 2020. (3) Both Luhansk and Donetsk were largely dysfunctional, with nearly total absence of the rule of law, so that the self-proclaimed authorities of those regions cannot be considered reliable sources. (4) Neither of the articles mentions March 31st as the date of the first confirmed case. (5) Not even the territorial extent of Luhansk / Donetsk pseudo-states was ever fixed. Did they claim to report all the cases from the corresponding Ukrainian oblasts or only those from the areas they effectively controlled ? Rsk6400 (talk) 19:29, 8 March 2023 (UTC)

:(1) How long does an unrecognized country have to exist before you personally recognize it? I don't think your standard is consistent. (4) The article for Donetsk does in fact mention March 31.

:Points (2), (3), and (5) are all very good points! But in that case, I think you should nominate the linked articles COVID-19 pandemic in the Donetsk People's Republic and COVID-19 pandemic in the Luhansk People's Republic for deletion with your rationale. Since this article is essentially just a list and aggregation of other articles, it's my opinion that this article should still include links to those two until they're deleted.

:I don't actually have an opinion either way on whether those two articles should be deleted or not. You have some good arguments against them. My opinion is only that this article should include them as long as they exist. Qmwnebrvtcyxuz (talk) 18:41, 13 March 2023 (UTC)

OWID has fixed SVG map captions. Via adding Liberation Sans font

Problem fixed concerning OWID maps. Our World in Data. OWID map captions no longer overlap the OWID logo in SVG OWID maps.

So please use the SVG versions of OWID maps.
