Guillermina Etkin was born in 1980 within Buenos Aires; the capital of Argentina. Etkin attended the National University of Quilmes in 2006 earning a diploma in music and technology then again in 2010 earning a degree in musical composition with electroacoustic media. She is known as a pianist, singer, performer, and sound designer among other things.

Education & Career
Graduating from the National University of Quilmes, Etkin earned a degree in Music Composition with Electroacoustic Media and a diploma of Music and Technology. She is currently working at the university teaching piano and music.

Nominations/Awards
Etkin's work in Knives in Hens by David Harrower earned her a nomination for the Trinidad Guervara Award in 2007 for "Score or Sound Band".

Vigilante Margarita
Vigilante Margarita is a band from Buenos Aires, Argentia. Etkin has been apart of the band Vigilante Margarita as a vocalist, pianist and zither since 2007 along with her fellow members Cecilia Lopez (vocalist/electric guitarist) and Cecilia Grammatico (drummer). Her career as a pianist/performer has allowed her to play concerts in places such as National Music Centre, Museum of Modern Art, Rojas Cultural Center, IMPA Cultural City, Recoleta Cultural Center (Tsonami Festival), Experimental Intermedia in New York, Alianza Franseca de Buenos Aires, University of Quilmes, and more.

Cellular Organelle Systems
See also: Organelle

The exact components of a cell are determined by whether the cell is a eukaryote or prokaryote.


 * Nucleus: storage of genetic material; control center of the cell.
 * Cytosol: component of the cytoplasm consisting of jelly-like fluid in which organelles are suspended within
 * Cell membrane (plasma membrane):
 * Endoplasmic reticulum: outer part of the nuclear envelope forming a continuous channel used for transportation; consists of the rough endoplasmic reticulum and the smooth endoplasmic reticlum
 * Rough endoplasmic reticulum (RER): considered "rough" due to the ribosomes attached to the channeling; made up of cisternae that allow for protein production
 * Smooth endoplasmic reticulum (SER): storage and synthesis of lipids and steroid hormones as well as detoxification
 * Ribosome: site of biological protein synthesis essential for internal activity and cannot be reproduced in other organs
 * Mitochondrion (mitochondria): powerhouse of the cell; site of cellular respiration producing ATP (adenosine triphosphate)
 * Lysosome: center of breakdown for unwanted/unneeded material within the cell
 * Peroxisome: breaks down toxic materials from the contained digestive enzymes such as H2O2(hydrogen peroxide)
 * Golgi apparatus (eukaryotic only): folded network involved in modification, transport, and secretion
 * Chloroplast (prokaryotic only): cite of photosynthesis; storage of chlorophyll

Article Selection

This is the article that I'm looking to improve. This article is Stub-class and mid-importance for WikiProject Biology. I think this article has potential to be improve in it's writing as well as expanding what's talked about with more detailed sections. The first paragraph or the lead section I think would work in a better flow if the sentences followed one another rather than starting a new line each statement. There is not a reference in any of the lead section which I can look at the references to see if there's a relevant citation. Another image of a system can be added here to attract the reader in. The lead section talks about more than just an organ system (micro/nanoscopic levels like cells and nucleus or macro level like population) so I'd like to add more system sections within the page. There is again not a reference or citation for the following section of organ and tissue systems in general or for the specific of what organs are within each system. The formatting in this section is really messy and makes it look unorganized. Within the history section, there are two quotations that need citations and I think there could be more background about the history in general. I'm also not quite sure of the purpose of having so many external links on the bottom of the page.

Article Evaluation
This article has a slight tone that seems to be biased towards boasting the school instead of keeping it neutral. This stuck out with me in particle from some of the quotes that were added into the article making it seem like the school is exceptional.

There definitely isn't enough citations throughout the article which I assume would mean there aren't enough sources or the sources aren't labeled adequately, but the links that I checked worked and were related to the statements made.

The article is C class rated in multiple categories. It is apart of Capital District articles WikiProject page. On the talk page, there seems to be productive conversations going on especially when those are voicing their opinions on the subject in particular. It definitely seems like people went to a good extent to get particular information correct and make sure it was accurate but other topics may have been left out in that aspect.

Why aren't there any talk about any of the sports teams/ sports in general? The article doesn't mention anything about sports and I think a big thing the school is known for now is that the teams are D1. ~
