DYK

Is this dyk'able? If so...can you advise and hook it? Whispyhistory (talk) 18:57, 2 February 2020 (UTC)

Your current editing worries me. Should I be heading for my secret bunker in New Zealand where I have a year's supply of canned food?

Yes, assuming you expect any survivors. If not, don't bother. 5x from 29th.

DYK that emerging infectious diseases specialist Daniel R. Lucey worked on HIV/AIDS before we discovered it but after it discovered us? (Pandora)

DYK that emerging infectious diseases specialist Daniel R. Lucey has spent 30 years "chasing things you wouldn't want to catch"? (Alumni Album)

DYK that infectious diseases specialist Daniel R. Lucey's work on bioterrorism prepared him to advise on the 2001 anthrax scare? (add bioterrorism and anthrax pic to article)

DYK that American physician Daniel R. Lucey was first exposed to infectious diseases at a South African hospital?Philafrenzy (talk) 19:31, 2 February 2020 (UTC)

"Your current editing worries me"...What am I doing wrong? I stub'ed Lucey last summer...suddenly he started to get escalating views. Whispyhistory (talk) 20:00, 2 February 2020 (UTC)

Editing about global pandemics! Philafrenzy (talk) 20:02, 2 February 2020 (UTC)

Oh...nothing soap and water can't handle. Can you check Anand's book and typhoid in Croydon? Am I requesting too much?Whispyhistory (talk) 20:05, 2 February 2020 (UTC)

Have you told the Chinese about this simple remedy? Philafrenzy (talk) 20:07, 2 February 2020 (UTC)

Lets say the story is complex... There is a lot more to Lucey...but I have to refrain. Do you remember the Pickles story and the love affair...or snow...all boils down to traditional epidemiology. Whispyhistory (talk) 20:15, 2 February 2020 (UTC)

Are you saying it is spread by kissing? Bad news for Chinese romantics. Philafrenzy (talk) 20:22, 2 February 2020 (UTC)

NO...I am pointing out mapping of the disease....but Pickles was a good example...as is the typhoid outbreak of Croydon. Whispyhistory (talk) 20:50, 2 February 2020 (UTC)

Susan Sweney

Hi....I was reading O'Donaghue. ref 3 says p 211, but I make it p. 116. Is yours different? Whispyhistory (talk) 14:25, 7 February 2020 (UTC)

Which instance of ref 3? Are you reading the dissertation (1995) or the book (2014)? Ref 3 refers to the book. Philafrenzy (talk) 14:53, 7 February 2020 (UTC)

I see...Are they very different? The dissertation is interesting Whispyhistory (talk) 15:02, 7 February 2020 (UTC)

I have only compared as far as Sweney is concerned where the book extends the story a little with new material. The book can be purchased for a few pounds on Amazon (£3.54 plus postage). It is full of good article subjects although I particularly like Sweney because she looks so innocent in the photo and has a great haircut. None of the others are as photogenic. He actually could have gone further on her as since the dissertation her secret file has been released. It is about 130 pages of documents - £3.50 from the National Archives. Philafrenzy (talk) 15:23, 7 February 2020 (UTC)

Thanks for the price list.Whispyhistory (talk) 16:25, 7 February 2020 (UTC)

I thought you had blown all your money here. See p. 215 for the Indian station associated with Bose. Philafrenzy (talk) 19:10, 7 February 2020 (UTC)

P. 215 of the book or the dissertation? Whispyhistory (talk) 19:57, 7 February 2020 (UTC)

Dissertation. Philafrenzy (talk) 20:01, 7 February 2020 (UTC)

?...some of this stuff is in Anand's book. However, I am a little tied with learning about water supplies/wells and reservoirs. Whispyhistory (talk) 20:07, 7 February 2020 (UTC)

London medical students

Sorry...been busy and had other things on mind. I think the London students could be a list in another article and I will investigate what happened to them. I don't mind if you move it...but if you want me to...can you watch?

To change topic for a break...can this medical related topic be an article? Whispyhistory (talk) 21:31, 12 February 2020 (UTC)

Do you propose to move the table to a separate list article? If so I would be inclined to leave as it won't get any longer? Or will it?

No. Cute animal pairings aren't valid article subjects in their own right unless you have masses of coverage. There may be some sort of zoological article about the phenomenon I suppose. Philafrenzy (talk) 21:43, 12 February 2020 (UTC)

Will check coverage...I came across when reading about Karen. The table has 95 names. I'll add to it and see what it looks like. Regarding the category of London medical students who assisted at Belsen, there are a number of other articles that should be linked eg Meiklejohn and Brigadier Glynn-Hughes and others. Does that need another category? Whispyhistory (talk) 07:29, 13 February 2020 (UTC)

See WP:CATV. If you create the category you would need to add that information with a cite to each biography. I created the list. Please fix the cite errors. Philafrenzy (talk) 08:37, 13 February 2020 (UTC)

Thank you...I didn't understand the eponymous category, but I'll re-read it. Whispyhistory (talk) 09:13, 13 February 2020 (UTC)

Bit tired of this, although there is so much more to him. Yellow fever, malaria etc need tackling, but maybe enough for now...Can you check please? Whispyhistory (talk) 14:55, 16 February 2020 (UTC)

Is there only one of these? Whispyhistory (talk) 16:17, 16 February 2020 (UTC)

Sources credit Ulrich Mohr, director of the Institute of Experimental Pathology at Hannover Medical School, as the author of the book on Atlantis but I agree that would make him very long lived and working to a great age. I am going to restrict it to the war part pending more sources. Philafrenzy (talk) 18:30, 16 February 2020 (UTC)

This is great if you have time. Philafrenzy (talk) 20:27, 16 February 2020 (UTC)

No need for time...I can multitask. It's interesting. Whispyhistory (talk) 20:46, 16 February 2020 (UTC)

May I kindly request an mage please After Daybreak: The Liberation of Belsen, 1945 ? Whispyhistory (talk) 21:17, 16 February 2020 (UTC)

Captain Mainwaring used to say "I was wondering who would spot that first." Philafrenzy (talk) 21:47, 16 February 2020 (UTC)

Should that hook be "in China"? Also, reported by whom? The name seems clunky. Isn't there a new name now? Philafrenzy (talk) 22:24, 16 February 2020 (UTC)

Changed to China, thanks. He generally says its global though Prof Neil Ferguson, infectious disease expert from Imperial College London, told the BBC ... "I think we're in the early phases of a global pandemic at the moment," he said. Prof Ferguson added it was likely that only one in three cases coming into the UK was being picked up. [1]. The name appears to have caused a significant debate on W. BTW...what is clunky? Whispyhistory (talk) 08:00, 18 February 2020 (UTC)

What does clunky mean? Philafrenzy (talk) 22:17, 18 February 2020 (UTC)

It all connects. Many victims of the Atlantis. Susan Sweney too. Philafrenzy (talk) 11:43, 18 February 2020 (UTC)

A book that mentions both Mohr and Sperber. Is it of use? Whispyhistory (talk) 11:08, 18 February 2020 (UTC)

That's the book reviewed in ref 9. I will add it in. Philafrenzy (talk) 11:43, 18 February 2020 (UTC)

How it was sunk. Philafrenzy (talk) 18:29, 18 February 2020 (UTC)

Don't have access to that. Try one of Paul Weindling's books. I'll look when chance. Can you magic an image here? There definitely only 95 students. Is it too much to do another run of them? ..If your mouth is not too dry. Whispyhistory (talk) 20:58, 18 February 2020 (UTC)

I would expand the article with the reliable sources that mention the video before you do. Philafrenzy (talk) 21:07, 4 March 2020 (UTC)

Thank you. Very gratifying. Philafrenzy (talk) 23:39, 29 February 2020 (UTC)

Thank you Philafrenzy for that very interesting article, and the George W. Christians one too. I actually read quite a bit about the 1930s far-right in the US after that and created a short article for the National Gentile League. It is interesting that these organizations, at that time, had wide national notoriety but they have been forgotten in the Internet. It is nice to see someone scraping some neglected topic areas. One thing that I noticed in most sources was an anti-fascist organization called the Friends of Democracy headed by Leon Milton Birkhead (a stub exists). That was a very high-profile organization that also campaigned against Charles Lindbergh. Sadly, that is redlinked and a modern PAC by Every Voice also uses the FoD name. --Pudeo (talk) 22:07, 6 March 2020 (UTC)

Thank you @Pudeo:, there are many interesting articles in this area. Pfaus came from Christians who was on a slide in a lecture I heard. I went through everyone mentioned and he was the only one missing. Both were the same in starting with little more than a name and seeing what you can do with it. I nearly gave up on Pfaus until I realised he had anglicised his name. Philafrenzy (talk) 22:22, 7 March 2020 (UTC)
