Please read the noticeboard/talk page link as: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_COVID-19. It looks like I had another noticeboard open at that time. Apologies for the wrong link in the last post.

Hello, May I suggest that the discussion regarding the name take place somewhere other than Wikimedia-l? I think that a talk page of one of the relevant articles on English Wikipedia, a WikiProject Medicine talk page, or the WikiProject Medicine Mailing List, would all be reasonable venues.

Just to remark that I went today to a supermarket to take a picture of empty shelves and eventually to upload it to Commons. Which I did (and eventually I added one of the photographs to an English Wikipedia article), just to discover that several people had the same idea before me, including one in my city. Still, the number of relevant pictures is laughably small, and now it is good time to take pictures for example of places which are normally overcrowded by tourists and now are empty. Or queues at the airports due to cancellations, We need to document the event (obviously not compromising on the safety), and anybody with a cell phone can easily contribute.

I took images of an almost empty Milan Central train station even before i think there were any specific social distancing rule https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Milano_Centrale_train_station_d… ... and created few days later https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Social_distancing but overall I think the topic will be covered, on line there are always many images with the right licenses. I am more interested in people taking nice images of empty towns now that it's possible. For example when you walk for basic chores, stop for few minutes.

Even worst, it's contaminating other projects, like Wikidata and Wikimedia Commons, with teams of wiki.en editors going there to revert anyone that dares to move the disease to its proper name.
