Listing BSL-3 Sites
Surely it is a fool's errand to include a list of BLS-3 labs, given that the start of this section indicates that there are over 1000 in the US alone. Why not make the list of facilities only those with BSL-4 facilities? This would be an actually possible task and would may resolve the factual inaccuracy complaint. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 131.111.51.113 (talk • contribs) 2012-08-24T14:29:56
India - Azad Dedicates Asia’s First BIO-Safety Level –IV Laboratory to the Nation
Read here on GoI official post : http://pib.nic.in/newsite/erelease.aspx?relid=91227
"Union Minister of Health and Family Welfare, Shri Ghulam Nabi Azad dedicated to the Nation the Asia’s First Bio-Safety Level-IV Laboratory established by ICMR with support from Department of Science & Technology at Pune today."
The BSL-IV list is highly inaccurate then it seems.Sarindam7 17:48, 28 December 2012 (UTC)
- It seems that, by default, that big table is sorted by location. The Pune lab was added at the top, out of alphabetical order. Any objections to me moving it into position next to the other three listed labs in India? 50.181.30.121 (talk) 00:15, 1 May 2014 (UTC)
- Sounds good to me! JHCaufield - talk - 14:44, 1 May 2014 (UTC)
- Done. 50.181.30.121 (talk) 01:57, 2 May 2014 (UTC)

Newer reference for BSL-4 locations
I spotted this link on my travels. Might be useful to run through and update the list of BSL-4s. 81.144.191.22 (talk) 14:01, 2 July 2014 (UTC)
- Thanks - that looks useful. JHCaufield - talk - 15:35, 2 July 2014 (UTC)
Troubled by unreferenced entries in tables
I recently handled an OTRS request in which we were asked to remove an entry from the table. I noted that the entry had no reference so I removed it. I note that many other entries are not supported by references.
This is not exactly a benign list like a list of notable people in a town. It is my opinion that we should not have entries in this list that are not supported by reliable sources. Does anyone disagree?
I am not a regular editor of this page and do not have the time to sort through it. Unless there is a good reason for violating the normal guidelines that material included should be referenced, I urge someone to go through and remove all of the entries in the tables that are not referenced. If they happen to be correct they can be added with references.--S Philbrick(Talk) 15:41, 22 December 2015 (UTC)

- Virology Laboratory of the Queensland Department of Health, Coopers Plains, Queensland, Australia. Did some digging and couldn't find anything definitive. It's listed in this manuscript on ArXiv but no source is given here which made me fear this article may have been where they found that information. The Queensland health website notes that they have "high containment laboratories registered and approved by the Department of Agriculture and The Office of the Gene Technology Regulator" but I couldn't find any record of whether or not those laboratories were indeed BSL-4. They do have some contact info, so if anyone is interested perhaps they could call or email and get a definitive answer. Also saw a reference to a Queensland Health BSL-4 lab in this discussion abstract but it's not clear if it's the Virology lab in particular they're referring to, or where they found that information. So at this point, I'm taking it off the list, but I left all this stuff here in case anyone wants to pick up the trail! Good luck! Ajpolino (talk) 20:22, 2 April 2016 (UTC)
Rationale Section?
Hi all! The Rationale section here appears to mostly just restate the material in the lead and add some new (unreferenced) material. Any thoughts? If no one chimes in opposed I'll try to merge the two and find references for the new stuff. Let me know what you think! Thanks! Ajpolino (talk) 19:08, 2 April 2016 (UTC)
