Talk:COVID-19 pandemic in Tamil Nadu

Districts without confirmed cases

@Shanze1: The reference in the Districts without confirmed cases section doesn't mention anything about the Krishnagiri district and the district got its first case two days ago. So, shall we remove the section for now? - SUN EYE 1 16:44, 4 May 2020 (UTC)

Suneye1, Yes, the source should've been a media bulletin. But govt still counts Krishnagiri as a green zone. They must've tagged the case to some other district. I'll remove the section nevertheless as the table above describes the situation. Shanze1 (talk) 04:38, 5 May 2020 (UTC)

First Paragraph

Shanze1, The first Paragraph mentions about the religious congregation incident which is 15 days old. Currently we have 3,550 cases and 1500 people attended the event from the state. So, the current cases directly linked to the cluster should be probably less than 50%. I think it should be moved to the 2nd or the 3rd paragraph since there is also another developing cluster related to the market. You are the expert here, what do you think? - SUN EYE 1 06:57, 5 May 2020 (UTC)

Suneye1, Yes, the lead needs an update. That Delhi cluster can be moved down as you say, and we can add about the developing cluster. I'll do it in a bit. Shanze1 (talk) 07:10, 5 May 2020 (UTC)

Shanze1, I think it would be better if the percentage(86%) is also removed, since people could easily confuse it with the current data. - SUN EYE 1 07:20, 5 May 2020 (UTC)

Suneye1, That's what I thought too. Now it's enough to just say it was one of the big clusters initially as far as the lead is concerned. Shanze1 (talk) 07:22, 5 May 2020 (UTC)

I propose, we move it to new section named "Clusters" or something similar. And also include Koyembedu cluster.- Timbaa -> ping me 07:24, 5 May 2020 (UTC)

Timbaaa, Sounds good, I think we can include it in a subheading under "Cases" section. Shanze1 (talk) 07:28, 5 May 2020 (UTC)

Shanze1, Agree. After districts table, before big table.- Timbaa -> ping me 07:39, 5 May 2020 (UTC)

Timbaaa,  Done Still needs expansion. But let's keep it short, I think just statistical info is enough here since the timeline details the events already. Shanze1 (talk) 08:48, 5 May 2020 (UTC)

Number of Districts

HeyShanze1 Bulletin and dashboard lists 37 districts only(Mayiladuthurai is not listed separately). We should change the numbers in the article.- Timbaa -> ping me 07:21, 5 May 2020 (UTC)

Timbaaa, Ok, let's say 36 of 37 and add a note then? Shanze1 (talk) 07:25, 5 May 2020 (UTC)

Yes, we use it in two places, one in lead and in infobox. Can use same note in both places.- Timbaa -> ping me 07:29, 5 May 2020 (UTC)

Timbaaa, Added but it reads weird. Tweak it if possible. Shanze1 (talk) 07:53, 5 May 2020 (UTC)

Shanze1,  Done - Timbaa -> ping me 08:02, 5 May 2020 (UTC)

Graphs

HiShanze1 and the IP editor(who updates frequently), as days go by data is going to increase on graphs. Do you guys have anything in mind to avoid the overcrowding of axes tick marks in the bar charts. It is not possible to implement same formatting as the line charts. There are discussion about this over at Template talk:Graph:Chart. Any ideas?- Timbaa -> ping me 07:25, 12 May 2020 (UTC)

Not sure what to do other than widening it. Will have wait and see what others do about it. Shanze1 (talk) 08:48, 12 May 2020 (UTC)

Shanze1, Okay, lets wait. - Timbaa -> ping me 13:54, 12 May 2020 (UTC)

Sorry, But I'm a noob, I usually just update data. Don't know much about formatting graphs. Mostly I look around the page and learn..So You guys can take a call on what to do..I'll just follow..Didn't read this page in a few days sorry for a late reply 219.91.177.92 (talk) 16:27, 16 May 2020 (UTC)

Don't be sorry, we were all noobs at some point. I was a noob just two months back. You do, you learn. We will take care of it, no worries. - Timbaa -> ping me 01:22, 17 May 2020 (UTC)

Shanze1, Can we convert them to area charts (maybe with interpolation), instead of widening it and scrolling? Example at:COVID-19 pandemic in Russia - Timbaaa -> ping me 12:37, 13 June 2020 (UTC)

Timbaaa, Sure, ditching the scroll is certainly more preferable. Shanze1 (talk) 12:50, 13 June 2020 (UTC)

Statistics

Graphs in the article are getting bigger. Shall we move all the stat graphs into a separate article and use Template:excerpt to show only selected 2-4 graphs graphs in main article. Usage example at:COVID-19 pandemic in Brazil#Statistics.- Timbaaa -> ping me 15:40, 26 May 2020 (UTC)

Pinging Shanze1. - Timbaaa -> ping me 15:41, 26 May 2020 (UTC)

AgreeSure. Just saw Brazil page, seems good. Also, we can have smaller graph dimensions - can just use Brazil's for that too imo. Our graphs look huge right now. Shanze1 (talk) 15:47, 26 May 2020 (UTC)

Shanze1,  Great!, I'll start working on it. - Timbaaa -> ping me 16:04, 26 May 2020 (UTC)

Shanze1, Timbaaa: I didn't notice this discussion before I proposed for merging the article COVID-19 pandemic in Tamil Nadu/Statistics into this article. I noticed that there wasn't an article about COVID-19 pandemic in India/Statistics so that's why I nominated a merger proposal. Abishe (talk) 16:51, 31 May 2020 (UTC)

Abishe, COVID-19 pandemic in India has separate article for table and graphs at Template:COVID-19 pandemic data/India medical cases. Also, TN article had more graphs on the main page, making section size bigger. Hence, the above discussion. - Timbaaa -> ping me 03:38, 1 June 2020 (UTC)

Yes, graphs were crowding the article. If needed maybe move it to template namespace as well. Shanze1 (talk) 03:57, 1 June 2020 (UTC)

Removing statistics - January 2022

I'm going for a WP:BOLD move and purge all the statistics templates as they were not updated since September 2020. The year old statistics can confuse the reader. - SUN EYE 1 12:21, 6 January 2022 (UTC)
