Thanks for your attempts at editing this article, Mkang29, and I hope that you continue to edit WP past the end of your term. Unfortunately, I do not think this article is ready to be listed as a "good article" yet. Good articles are reviewed against six criteria (WP:GA?). It is missing a fair amount of information and seems to be focused more on the links between this virus and vaccination rather than the virus itself. When was the virus first discovered? What is the typical course of illness? More details are needed about the current prevalence.

There are in addition a number of other issues:

This article needs to be run through a copyright checker. This sentence "Domestic cats contract the virus from these rodents. Symptoms in cats include lesions on the face, neck, forelimbs, and paws, and, less commonly, upper respiratory tract infections.[8] " makes me worry the sentence may be been lifted from elsewhere
Pages numbers need to be provided for sources.
Not all sections have sources.

Whilst I am appreciative of your efforts, Rome wasn't built in a day. Happy to address your concerns below. I will give you some time to respond, but I think it is unrealistic given the amount of work needed to expect to bring this article to GA in the space of this review. Looking forward to speaking to you, --Tom (LT) (talk) 03:00, 1 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Failed per above, with no response in one week. Good luck for your future editing. Cheers --Tom (LT) (talk) 05:15, 8 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
