Map

Is this disease actually confined to the United States? That's certainly the implication, with only this map. 132.244.246.25 (talk) 14:21, 18 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Requested move 18 June 2019

The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review after discussing it on the closer's talk page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.

The result of the move request was: moved to Brucella suis. Mary Mark Ockerbloom has indicated that they will rescope the article to suit its new name. (non-admin closure) — Newslinger talk 08:35, 6 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Swine brucellosis → B. suis – follow the pattern for other species of the genus Brucella by using the species name as the article title for the B. suis species, and the common name "swine brucellosis" as a redirect to it Mary Mark Ockerbloom (talk) 20:17, 18 June 2019 (UTC) --Relisting. — Newslinger talk 07:35, 27 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

This is a contested technical request (permalink). Anthony Appleyard (talk) 22:23, 18 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Or move to Brucella suis, with the name in full. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 22:24, 18 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I would be quite happy with the above proposal to move to Brucella suis, with both B. suis and Swine brucellosis as redirects. Mary Mark Ockerbloom (talk) 01:17, 19 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
No move to abbrev. - B. suis is not an acceptable option. Species use their full binomial name or a common name. I am in the seemingly minority opinion that disease names are common names for pathogenic organisms. Therefore, I do not object to moving the article to Brucella suis. However, this article focuses on the disease, so if moved would need to be rewritten. For example, there is no "Cause" of Brucella suis. --Nessie (talk) 14:17, 19 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

As a Wikipedian-in-Residence at the Science History Institute I am working with a historian of science who is knowledgeable about brucellosis but not about Wikipedia. Our hope is to rework the set of pages relating to brucellosis, including its various species, over the next few months. Reworking the Brucella suis page will be one of the items on our to-do list. We would also love input from anyone who would like to jump in with suggestions on the talk pages about useful improvements, reorganizing and rewriting. Broad goals include making the information less human-centric, more detailed in discussing the species it mainly effects (cattle, pigs, goats, and sheep) and more relevant as to its worldwide impact.

Weak support for move to Brucella suis. Per nom, it would be consistent with the titles for other Brucella species. I think a disease and the etiological agent should ultimately have separate articles as Wikipedia content grows. I don't think there is enough written here at present to support separate articles, and as long as there is a single article, the title doesn't matter a whole lot.

Oppose, definitely oppose as proposed, Brucella suis would be the alternative. —SmokeyJoe (talk) 02:54, 6 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Support Brucella suis after reviewing the references. It predominates as the term of introduction in the sources. —SmokeyJoe (talk) 02:57, 6 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
