Mbekey, regarding the content you added from the BIRN community website, it needs to be integrated into the content we had and should be encyclopedic in tone and use Wikipedia's style guidelines. Because the content is copied from the community website, it reads like promotional materials or a press release. Wikipedia articles need to have a neutral point of view. Regarding the references, you deleted the {{reflist}} code on one of your edits - I'll add it back in. I know you are a new editor and I think it's great that you're contributing to Wikipedia - I also encourage you to edit topics other than BIRN, ISI, and George Bekey! -kslays (talk • contribs) 03:34, 8 July 2010 (UTC)Reply

Mbekey, I also noticed you deleted the list of 19 universities and 26 research groups, but didn't update any of it. I think this is really useful information, so I think we should list the number of universities and groups involved, and list at least some representative groups - do you have access to an updated list? -kslays (talk • contribs) 19:14, 9 July 2010 (UTC)Reply

As of 2005, the BIRN involves a consortium of 19 universities and 26 research groups across the United States. BIRN has three test-bed projects on neuroimaging of human neurological disorders and associated animal models.
