Talk:California's 15th State Assembly district

message: The current 14th District Assemblymember is Buffy Wicks (currently on wikipedia as the representative for the 15th) while the current 15th District Assemblymember is Tim Grayson, who is listed on wikipedia as representative for the 14th.

message: Though this is just a start of an article, there are several things that should be taken care of.
#There are several spelling errors
#It's not proper etiquette to sign an article, like the signature at the end. Wikipedia automatically keeps a history of all changes, and that's where the author of a specific change is credited.
#The article needs verifiable references. Without them, who knows whether this person is notable, and the article could be deleted. Remember that only noteworthy articles are kept in Wikipedia.
Perhaps you are new to Wikipedia. If so, I welcome you. You might want to take a look at the Wikipedia:Manual of Style, which gives some tips on how to write and edit articles.

Talk:Economic League (United Kingdom)

message: Reason for NPOV tag: it would apepar clear, from the phraseology in this article, that it has been written from the viewpoint of one (or more) of the "certain left-wing groups" mentioned in it; something reinforced by the fact that all of the refernces cited are from sources critical (in some instances, hyper-critical) of the League, not one from a "sympathetic" viewpoint.
*You didn't actually add an NPOV tag, but I've tried to address the only obvious phrase in the article which is likely to be seen as being biased against the group.  Are there any other sections you feel are problematic?  In terms of references, there really isn't anything supportive of the league.

"The Blons avalanches in Austria was one of the worst mass burials by avalanche in recorded history. It occurred on February 10 and February 11."

message: It has come to my attention that "genetically modified plasmodium" for the treatment of malaria may be a misnomer!
I read this as I researched this question:
An alternative approach has recently been described involving the engineering of the mosquito microbiota to secrete antimalarial effector genes, an approach known as paratransgenesis (Wang et al. 2012). Genetically engineered Pantoea agglomerans, a common resident of the mosquito midgut, were able to confer resistance to P. falciparum and P. berghei and dramatically reduce infection prevalence independent of the anopheline vector (Wang et al. 2012). Future research must address issues of how to introduce the modified bacteria into field populations and, importantly, resolve issues relating to the release of genetically modified organisms in nature.   https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4156458/
Furthermore, the cited article says in its highlights:
Highlights
•Mathematical modeling of paratransgenesis, an alternative malaria control strategy, that uses genetically modified bacteria to inhibit parasite carrying capacity of mosquitoes.
•Basic reproductive number calculated for both the homogeneous as well as heterogeneous mixing case.
•Evaluate efficacy of the technique and propose a resource allocation scheme for maximizing efficacy.
I think it should be genetically modified bacteria, not genetically modified plasmodium.
