Hausa Wikipedia

Hello Doc James. For about 2 days now, I have not been able to access translation to Hausa using the dashboard provided. Any help on that? Thanks daSupremo 22:28, 22 January 2022 (UTC)

Yes unfortunately User:daSupremo. The primary programmer is in Yemen. Yemen no longer has internet access.[1] Thankfully from what I understand they were not one of the people killed. Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 01:35, 23 January 2022 (UTC)

Oh ok. Sad to hear about that. daSupremo 22:21, 23 January 2022 (UTC)

User:daSupremo it is up and working again. You may need to log out and back in again. Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 16:30, 25 January 2022 (UTC)

Great. Happy to be of help and thanks. daSupremo 23:12, 25 January 2022 (UTC)

Vaaccine info sources

Is there a good wikimed group to ping about this? –SJ talk  12:18, 21 April 2022 (UTC)

These are great User:Sj https://www.who.int/teams/immunization-vaccines-and-biologicals/policies/position-papers And are what I extensively used when updating the vaccine articles a number of years ago. This is also good material here https://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/vpd/vaccines-diseases.html Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 15:44, 21 April 2022 (UTC)
