1. The use of color text makes it difficult to read and is thus discouraged.
2. WP:LEAD of three to four paragraphs summarizing the article is needed.
3. History section should probably be moved to the end.
4. Try to combine the see also section into the article
5. A decussion on the different uses of triage in different environments
6. Needs a link to ABCs of medicine which are used to triage people
7. Famous example of triage like after the world trade centre bombing in NYC, ie more history of triage.
8. Issues with some of the ref formatting. For example ref 1 and 2 are the same and ref 6 does not work.
9. Needs a section on further reading refering some of the stand texts on triage
10. Formatting issues: Some countries are linked others are not and the section Regional variation basically discussed the differences between countries and should be in alphabetical order. None of the counrties should be linked.
11. One needs to write out the complete form of an abriviation the first time it is used and than follow it with the abrieviation in brackets.
12. A note section should not be in the lead
13. Some more dicussion on all the situations in which traige is used and how the type of triage varies depending on the situation. There is triage for every day in the ER. There is mass casualty triage, chemical exporsure triage, infectious outbreak traige, a discussion of the issues with the "worried well" is needed as these are really the one who ruin everything.
14. Dicussion of setting of all the important components might be useful aswell. Who is all needed "police to deal with people just coming to look" "social workers to deal with family members" "clearing out the hospital / ER of none needed patients" "the importance of stockpills of medicines and equipment and what resouces have been stock pilled though what agencies in North America / Other first world countries.
15. So to sum it up at this point this article has some issues with formatting and its content and depth of dicussion in still a little limited.
