Outdated Maps with countries with winning teams

I liked the idea with the maps, but unfortunately they are not updated by the author who has included them. If they are outdated, they do not provide any help. Thus I would ask someone to update them, otherwise I will simply exclude them from the article, as they are missleading when from 2019.

It would be cool to work in this quote, here or in the Synthetic Biology article:

The following is done - mac 17:28, 20 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Need to fix the title so the first 'i' of the acronym 'iGEM' is lowercase:
Wikipedia:Naming conventions (technical_restrictions)#Lower case first letter

Need to move the article to a page with the title 'international Genetically Engineered Machines competition" and redirect the current title 'iGEM' to it.
Wikipedia:Naming conventions#Prefer spelled-out phrases to acronyms

NPOV

I removed a couple speculative sentences and non-neutral POV statements. This is an encyclopedia, not a brochure. -jdw

Spinoff

The iGEM Foundation separated from MIT on January 1, 2012. 18.26.0.5 (talk) 01:04, 27 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, I've added it to the Growth section, but I'll get round to re-writing the article at some point anyway. TubularWorld (talk) 16:33, 27 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Links to Competition-Wikis

Intuitively, I would appreciate it if the links within the table listing the winning teams would lead to the webpage of the team and not to the university's article on wikipedia. In the past someone has changes this, but I believe it would be much more interesting to see the winning project when clicking on the name than some information on the university where the team is coming from.
