1854 Broad Street cholera outbreak
The 1854 Broad Street cholera outbreak was a severe outbreak of cholera that occurred near Broad Street (now Broadwick Street), in the London district of Soho, during the 1846–1860 worldwide cholera pandemic. The outbreak, which killed 616 people and had a mortality rate of 12.8 per thousand in some areas, is best known for the study of its causes by the physician John Snow and his hypothesis that germ-contaminated water was the source of cholera, rather than particles in the air (referred to as miasma). This discovery came to influence public health and the construction of improved sanitation facilities beginning in the mid–19th century. This dot map of Soho drawn by Snow shows clusters of cholera cases (indicated by stacked rectangles) in the 1854 outbreak. He identified a contaminated pump, located at the junction of Broad Street and Cambridge Street, as the source. The map, published in Snow's book On the Mode of Communication of Cholera, marks an important part of the development of epidemiology as a field, and of disease mapping as a whole.Map credit: John Snow

    • Optimism should have a separate page that focuses on the philosophical idea of optimism and distinguishes the philosophical view from "positive thinking" and other everyday uses of the word.
    • Philosophy of social science, has some okay points but requires elaboration on Wittgenstein and Winch, perhaps other linguistic critiques, whether logical positivist or postmodernist.
    • Exchange value needs to be redone, it shouldn't be under 'Marxist theory'- although it's an important component of Marxist theory it's also vital for all economics. That said the article's weight on Marx is also absurd.
    • German Idealism and the articles related to it may need to be rewritten or expanded to avoid undue weight on Arthur Schopenhauer.
    • Protected values first section confuses right action and values and needs a copy edit, moving and wikifying
    • Quality (philosophy) needs a more clear explanation.
    • Socratic dialogues could do with some tidying and clarification. See the talk page for one suggested change.
    • Problem of universals: The introductory definition is (perhaps) fixed. But, the article is poor. Check out the German version.
    • Teleology: the article is shallow and inconsistent.
    • Existentialism: the quality of this article varies wildly and is in desperate need of expert attention.
    • Analytic philosophy This is a very major topic, but still has several sections which are stubs, and several topics which are not covered.
    • Lifeworld A philosophical concept that seems to have fallen exclusively into the hands of the sociologists. Could use some attention; it's a major and complex issue in phenomenology.
    • Perception Needs the attention of philosophically minded Wikipedians. This is only the start of an overhaul of perception and related articles.
