Name Change edit

In the February 15, 2010 email newletter, Seattle Biomedical Research Institute announced that they were changing their colloquial name from the acronym "SBRI" to Seattle Biomed. I have been unable to find an online source for this name change, but it is apparent from their current website, which also changed from sbri.org to seattlebiomed.org. In response, I have changed instances of "SBRI" in the article to read "Seattle Biomed". Blue Rasberry 20:36, 1 March 2010 (UTC)Reply

Also, I created the redirect page to send people who search for "Seattle Biomed" to here. Blue Rasberry 20:39, 1 March 2010 (UTC)Reply

They changed it again to Center for Infectious Disease Research ([1]) I have moved the page. --TeaDrinker (talk) 19:01, 25 April 2016 (UTC)Reply

Promotional content edit

Someone just added a large amount of unreferenced content to the article - see here where I removed it. Content added to Wikipedia has to come from a published reliable source. I am happy to help anyone edit this article. See WP:HELP or ask questions at WP:TEAHOUSE for other advice. Blue Rasberry (talk) 18:29, 25 October 2012 (UTC)Reply

  • I've cleaned up the article and have warned the user. In my message to the user, I referenced WP:RS, WP:EDITWAR, and other policies, and invited him to discuss any proposed changes here on the article's talk page before unilaterally making additions.
