I'll grab this review. What is the purpose of this page? It reads like a future class article and is frankly all over the place in terms of what is considered "endemic". The discussion here exemplifies the rather fundamental issues with this page. I can also see a verification needed tag and a number of 'dated statement' tags.

Copy-vios[edit]

  • Nothing notable

Prose[edit]

  • The lead is noncompliant with MOS:LEAD. It needs to be abundantly clear that this is a hypothetical phase of the Covid pandemic.
  • On 14 September 2022.... how does this related to an endemic?
  • Is endemic equal to removing Covid restrictions? I would argue that equating the two is just WP:OR.
Half of these countries don't even mention an 'endemic phase', instead its just a watered down version of X county and the COVID pandemic.
  • A 2021 article in The Lancet called restrictions.. Undue weight, entire section feels almost like WP:POV pushing.

This page is a quickfail, and it honestly needs to be seriously reworked. It is just a collection of quotes from different politicians sprinkled with medical experts. This page suffers from serious WP:POV issues as well, giving substantial weight to seemingly random factoids about each country. This isn't meant to scare you off from Good Article nominations, its just my assessment of the page's viability at GA. I recommend asking Wikipedia:WikiProject COVID-19 for more help.

Finland[edit]

@Bon courage: Please clarify what you meant. The small edit contained two claims: 1) the leading Finnish health authority considers Covid-19 to be endemic in Finland (a country), and 2) this is reflected in statements and actions overseen by the Finnish government (valtioneuvosto). Both claims are reported in primary and secondary sources. The subsection Endemic phase of COVID-19#By countries appears to review similar claims by country. What in my edit is irrelevant?

It contained no relevant article text. You seemed to have fixed that in an improved edit. Bon courage (talk) 15:12, 27 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
The latter edit brought no additional information. Brittletheories (talk) 19:08, 29 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
