Changes that could be helpful

Hey Dtran420! The wiki article is quite informative. The flow of the article is much better than what it had been initially. Nonetheless, I feel that the page could use a few more items to make it a bit friendlier for the readers. As your page is about giving as much information as possible, it would also be nice to have those words be put in either a table, graph or diagram format. Under the heading “Major Code Sections of the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act”, I liked the part where you had directed the readers to look for more details at another site. I was wondering if you could add a link within the paragraph, so that it would be easier for the reader to check out more information instantly than having to search it on google or bing. Another suggestion that I have is for the heading “Regulated Non-pesticidal Products Not Requiring Registration”. It was good that you numbered the list instead of the bullet points. But I think it would be more helpful if you could make that into a categorized table. In that way the reader has a more comprehensive idea and a clearer of where the products belong and why these products are not required to be registered. My final suggestion is to probably add a global perspective of the pesticides. I am sure that these fumigants are not regulated the same way United States does. As a result of the non-regulations in other countries, there seems to be more problems concerning the health of the population in those regions. I don’t know if these suggestions will help you make the wiki page better or not. I41hope (talk) 03:11, 21 April 2012 (UTC)i41hope
