Source specification
[edit]
Galerita ,
could you please
provide a precise source?
-If you picked the file from the internet - please provide a specific URL.
-If you digitized it yourself, then please state so and therefore please specify the book you took as source, e.g. giving the ISBN number. If possible add pagenumber.
-If you made a diagram yourself - please provide your Template or data-source
-If there is a sourcecode used in generation, it is highly appreciated to provide it.
Thanks in advance. --Itu (talk) 19:40, 9 March 2020 (UTC)
Itu The counts are manually tallied from the timeline (Timeline (GMT)) here: https://bnonews.com/index.php/2020/02/the-latest-coronavirus-cases/ and collected in a spreadsheet. Each day I check my counts are equal to (or close to) the totals in the table at the top. The overall error is about 0.1%. For example for Germany in the most recent day on the graph (9 March GMT) I found 1223 cases (and 2 deaths), whilst the table listed 1224 cases (and 2 deaths). Counts have increased since then but I wait until after the end of the GMT day before updating the data. The BNO Timeline begins on 27 January for Germany. The advantage of BNO is that it provides links to the original sources. Some of the counts from previous days are also added as more sources are found, so some searching further down the timeline is often required. There are other websites for counts (e.g. Johns Hopkins) but I have no way of checking the original sources. I use R software to produce the plots. I don't have a template.

- Hi Galerita. In the sense of Responsibility for providing citations you should state in the Source Field that URL. It's appreciated to mention the use of R (there). Further explaining belongs into the Description field, i'd say.
- Thanks for your work. --Itu (talk) 12:24, 11 March 2020 (UTC)
- Hi Itu The reference used for the R software is https://cran.r-project.org/ I suspect there's a German equivalent. It would be better if you include this reference for me as my German is "clumsy". There are no other "libraries" used for the creation of the plots other than the standard R package. Galerita (talk) 04:33, 12 March 2020 (UTC)
- It's absolutely sufficient to mention R. Important is the origin of the data and that could be noted in english even here, though i just did it in german.
- You should note the data-source at all your graphs ... --Itu (talk) 09:57, 12 March 2020 (UTC)
