  • Article is new enough, long enough, is neutral and without copyvio, but it needs a reference adding to the DYK nomination, so we can see which specific reference you are citing (not just the page as a whole). Although the hook is short, I think it's quite punchy. I would suggest changing "rumours" to "public concerns" though as it's more accurate. Thanks (Lajmmoore (talk) 08:17, 27 September 2020 (UTC))[reply]
Whispyhistory, Yup. "Misinformation" is a nice suggestion. Please let me know when you've done your QPQ. Lajmmoore (talk) 08:30, 28 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@Lajmmoore:... QPQ completed and ALT1 added, although I think rumours is probably better and well cited, but up to you. Thank you again. Whispyhistory (talk) 13:54, 30 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks very much, let's stick with misinformation! I'm happy that all the criteria are fulfilled. Lajmmoore (talk) 14:18, 30 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Hi, I came by to promote this, but I don't see the hook fact in the article. The article states that it is an early-warning system which identifies and evaluates public confidence in vaccines, not an early-warning system for misinformation about vaccines. I think you could write a catchier hook, too. Yoninah (talk) 21:18, 30 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

To confirm the DYK checklist for ALT4 text with ALT3 reference:

ALT4 ... that the Vaccine Confidence Project was developed in response to a boycott of polio eradication efforts in Nigeria? In northern Nigeria in 2003 and 2004 ... rumours triggered a boycott of the polio eradication efforts there that that led to an outbreak ... Incidents such as these led Larson to establish the VCP as a means of anticipating problems associated with rumours and other misinformation. [3]
General: Article is new enough and long enough
Policy: Article is sourced, neutral, and free of copyright problems
Hook: Hook has been verified by provided inline citation
QPQ: Done.

  • One minute, Lajmmoore. It's not clear from this thread, but it appears that you proposed the ALT2 hook fact on which ALT4 is based. Per Rule H2, you are not allowed to approve your own hook, even if someone else has tweaked it, since the basic idea is yours. We need another reviewer for ALT4.

Vaccine industry funding

[edit]

I have restored the quite proper and uncontroversial acknowledgment that this body is funded by vaccine manufacturers. Another editor has persistently sought to suppress this information, offering his or her opinions about the relevance of this fact. Plainly it's relevant, acknowledged by the body itself and, according to standard practice, its director has acknowledged these links in scientific papers. There is no legitimate reason to suppress this information, as it is properly sourced and relevant to our understanding of who stands behind this body. If the editor wishes to add other sources of its funding, he is free to do so, so long as it is supported by proper referencing.

[edit]

Iv'e put a link to this article in the "See also" section of COVID-19_misinformation#See_also, shall we put a "See also" section here too and link back - don't know if that's recommended? Cheers, SvenAERTS (talk) 23:27, 21 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Adding links in the See also section is potentially confusing, since the purported connection is not strong enough for a link in the article, but someone thinks they are nevertheless linked. This organization may merit mention there because of it's role in fighting misinformation about COVID vaccines, but I don't immediately see that there would need to be a see also link back from here to every topic where it might be seen to have related activities. There is certainly no global expectation that all see also links be reciprocal. — jmcgnh(talk) (contribs) 02:22, 22 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
