Hello. I am a member of WikiProject Medicine, a Wikipedia wide project that maintains and improves articles that fall under the scope of medicine. Since your article has not fallen under our scope, I have placed the correct template(s) on this talk page. Leave a message on my talk page if you have any questions. Thanks, and keep editing Wikipedia! Renaissancee (talk) 16:38, 10 June 2009 (UTC)
The images used in English are only used in English, they are not the ones used in Portuguese or Spanish, or any other language. Why weren't the old maps just updated, like people have been doing since the maps were created? Further the pink map is dated with a timestamp. Does that mean we have to change the image every update? And the black-red-yellow map says "new" on it. It won't be new the next time something is updated. So now we have to keep track of updates and keep sync with what Hispanic wikipedians update on the other maps, or Brazilians on the other maps?

Done
What was done?

So can someone update the map to account for the death in Colombia?

Someone needs to update the map to take account of the death in Argentina.

Well, the references on the map "Outbreak evolution in South America", are somewhat wrong, the colours used on them, the +5 cases (magenta) reference, and the +1 cases (pink) specifically, are not the colours represented on the map, and it may lead to confusion. I'd appreciate if someone corrects this, thanks.

Why does this article exist? This article duplicates the section in 2009 flu pandemic in South America, with no further elaboration or expansion, that section is not so large as to require a breakout article.

Good point. Still you can click on languages -> Español and access a full info article. 201.252.88.102 ( talk) 13:42, 7 July 2009 (UTC)
The maps of Argentina contain Antarctica... but AFAIK, Argentina respects the Antarctic treaty, is a treaty member, etc... Why does the map contain Antarctica then?
And Antarctica is colored in, does anyone have information on confirmed cases in Antarctica?
70.29.212.226 ( talk) 08:29, 23 June 2009 (UTC)
Can someone add a source for that, and place a prose line into the Argentina section? 76.66.203.200 ( talk) 05:17, 26 June 2009 (UTC)
A proposal is afoot to move the 'country' article to a more appropriate location. Thoughts? Bosonic dressing ( talk) 10:18, 26 June 2009 (UTC)
A deaths map is now available for Brazil. 76.66.193.20 ( talk) 11:43, 29 June 2009 (UTC)
Can the various community outbreak maps have their colours harmonized?
How about additing in all countries with confirmed infections, and adding a second color for "isolated infections" ?

File:H1N1 South America Map.svg is closing on being completely black, can someone convert this to first level national subdivisions mapping, like the North America map? 70.29.208.69 ( talk) 05:17, 3 July 2009 (UTC)
This has become a very urgent issue. Even if we just break up Argentina and Brazil, we would accomplish a good deal. However, probably breaking up the map for all countries would be good, and then the fact that French Guiana is shown seperate from France would actually be acceptable since it would not be inconsistent with the overall scheme of first level sub-national showings.

Why is Antarctica on these maps? There have been no reported deaths or cases in Antarctica, yet it is colored black/pink. And Chile is a signatory to the Antarctic Treaty staying its claim to Antarctica.
