Do-It-Yourself Biology

Most of the information on the Do-It-Yourself Biology page is woefully out of date. In fact most people in the community don't even call it Do-It-Yourself Biology anymore, they call it Biohacking, see google trends or Motherboard or the tons of other news articles that were used as modern citations(i.e. in the last year). Biopunk has really never been a term associated with Do-It_yourself Biology except maybe briefly in it's infancy and by a poorly written book that has had no traction in the movement. No one uses the term "wetware hacking" ever.

The introduction of the article was modernized but you reverted it, statements like " DIY biology is primarily undertaken by individuals with extensive research training from academia or corporations, who then mentor and oversee other DIY biologists with no formal training." are wrong. It is not primarily undertaken by individuals with extensive training, even from the beginning of the movement.

There are statements like "For example, the Glowing Plant project intends to grow the arabidopsis, or rose, plant with a bioluminescent gene naturally occurring in Fireflies.[39]". Someone intending to do something should not belong in a wikipedia article.

Also, many things are sourced very poorly like using an article in "Seed magazine" as a citation 4 times!

I don't understand why you reverted most of the changes to use information cited from 2001 but nothing in 2014 to present. Doesn't that seem wrong? Please let the edits stand, all of them were cited and modernized. There is no reason to revert them. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2602:306:BC06:F520:5921:A1F7:5537:F536 (talk) 15:56, 18 June 2016 (UTC)

I agree that the article needs to be overhauled, including with more recent sources. The main issue is that text on Wikipedia needs to be cited to third-party reliable sources, and cannot rely on your own first-hand knowledge of the topic. See Wikipedia:Verifiability and Wikipedia:No original research. This is especially important if you are trying to remove text that is already supported by sources. It would greatly help if you can point to a source that says that, for example, DIY biology and body modification are part of the same community, as you claim. I've seen no sources that support that so far, and one that directly refutes it. Same with you statements about the terms "biohacking" and "biopunk". In general it is okay to add text from more recent sources, but if you want to remove sourced text you need to justify that pretty strongly by showing that reliable sources support the change. Antony–22 (^talk⁄_contribs) 02:13, 19 June 2016 (UTC)

So when a statement has no source, I need to find a source to refute it? Most everything I deleted and overwrote had more modern and reliable sources(as compared to things like "Seed magazine") put in its place. Please go back and see what you reverted. I pointed you towards google trends for biohacking and biopunk and Do-it-yourself biology(I don't know if there really is a better way to look at it?). It is clear that Biohacking is the popular term, again the modern articles I posted all refer to it as Biohacking. Obviously, there is no citation that says "Biohacking is the more popular term". But a simple internet search for biopunk shows that it is associated with Science fiction genres not actual people, just like cyberpunk is a sci-fi genre associated with people called "hackers" not "cyberpunks". DIY Biology is not really a community anymore they have started to fall under the term Biohacking, many of what were previously called DIY Biologist are also what people call Grinders. This is again a hard source to cite because where does one find an article that says "People involved in the group formerly known as DIY Biologist are now also part of the subculture called Grinders"? Instead I posted relevant articles about DIY medical implantation, experiments like microbiome transplants that involve both biology and body modification, if you want I can even find articles of people who are involved in the community formerly known as DIYBio who also have implants but those who aren't familiar with the scene might have difficulty connecting the two. There is also a project out of Counter Culture Labs for a bacterial sunblock, which is body modification(which I did not cite). I know offhand half a dozen individuals who participate in Biohacking that also have implants(while this last one is obviously anecdotal it is still relevant). The Austin Biohacking community is composed of both Grinders and DIYBio people, they do stuff together(again difficult to cite). I interact with many of the biohacker communities and so have lost of knowledge in this area. I am not trying to fuck up the article, I am just trying to improve it. Everything or almost everything that was changed had tons of sources and they were all from the last two years. I would appreciate it if we could figure out a way where you don't revert changes I make especially when they are cited.

After going through the article again a number of the citations were dead links, blogposts and a satirish news article by Newitz that said things such as "The Internet boom was a joke. Steve Jobs is a dink, Bill Gates is a fascist, and Carly Fiorina has lost the Midas touch. The days of Mondo 2000 are long over." and "Say McDonald's patented the arm, and whenever you used your own arm, you had to pay 10¢ to the boys who brought you the Happy Meal. That would suck, wouldn't it?" These seem hardly reliable. I made more edits and I gave explanations for each one. If you revert changes please give an explanation as to why after each reversion. I tried to make the edits as individual and contained as possible so I could provide explanation for each and global reversions should be unnecessary. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2602:306:BC06:F520:F8E6:B024:B7B8:74EC (talk) 20:33, 19 June 2016 (UTC)
