The graphs have not been updated. Hi sabya (talk) 01:46, 25 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Article clean up and update

Hey @Shanze1:, this article needs some clean-up and updates, I did some work. Take a look, once you have time. Timbaaa (talk) 05:20, 27 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Timbaaa, Yes, you've done some good work already. I'll see what I can do. Shanze1 (talk) 05:28, 27 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you Timbaaa (talk) 05:30, 27 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hey @Shanze1:, state bulletin and mofhw website updates different numbers, some days state bulletin is missing some data. Wikidata is being updated as per state bulletin. What should the article follow? Timbaaa (talk) 06:03, 28 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Timbaaa, I think state bulletin should be followed as it's been used from the start for charts I think. It also updates faster than mofhw. Is there anything missing in the bulletins that's available in mofhw? Shanze1 (talk) 06:12, 28 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Shanze1: Most days, total cases are missing. Sometimes total recovered also missing.Timbaaa (talk) 00:27, 29 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Then let's use mohfw whenever the data goes missing for more than a day or so. Also, Wikipedia doesn't need to be live. So delays in updates are ok. Shanze1 (talk) 04:28, 29 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, I'll keep in mind.Timbaaa (talk) 13:57, 29 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Timeline date

Correct the timeline date. Hi sabya (talk) 02:31, 22 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Sourajeet Majumder

I think there's enough information about Sourajeet Majumder to support a separate article, but when I wrote a draft, the reviewer disagreed and suggested it be a subsection of this one instead. Any thoughts? Wikicontributor12369 (talk) 16:41, 8 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
