This MCB project subpage is no longer in use and is kept as a historical archive.
Please go to the Molecular Biology project homepage or talk page for currently active sections.
This page is currently inactive and is retained for historical reference.
Either the page is no longer relevant or consensus on its purpose has become unclear. To revive discussion, seek broader input via a forum such as the village pump.


On this page may be found a pool of articles that are stubs or missing entirely. If you have the urge to work on something new to you, this is a good place to start.

Specificaly requested articles

This is usually a good place to start, if only because you know that somebody out there is waiting partiently for more information on some particular topic.

Articles requested here

On occasion, users will post requested articles directly to this page. These are sometimes completed first because somebody was kind enough to acknowledge our existance.

Articles that are in need of creation/destubbing

Misplaced Pages:Requested articles

Main page: Misplaced Pages:Requested articles/Natural sciences/Biology

Perhaps the richest source of red links on all of Misplaced Pages, the Misplaced Pages:Requested articles is essentially unexplored territory. The sections that are of most interest to this project live at Misplaced Pages:Requested articles/Natural sciences/Biology.

Lists of topics

The main space pages are repositories containing dozens of links to a myriad subjects of interest to molecular and cellular biology. Unfortunately (or perhaps fortunately, if you're bored), a large number of these links are red. There are several such lists, including, and probably not limited to:

Articles needing attention

Main category: MCB articles needing attention
Major category: Molecular and Cellular Biology articles needing expert attention
Main page: Misplaced Pages:Pages needing attention/Biology

If you happen to have the desire to work on something new, but don't want to make the effort to create from scratch, an excellent source of lonely articles can be found at Misplaced Pages:Pages needing attention/Biology. Here, one may find articles ranging from stubs to delisted featured articles. All, however, are biology articles that need some degree of work.

Assistance requested at Keratoconus

Keratoconus is a featured article, to which I made a number of contributions. The article contains a section on the pathophysiology of the disease, which includes a paragraph on its possible genetic links. I know very little about genetics, and this section is probably a weak point in the article. If a knowledgeable person associated with this project would care to lend their expertise and give this section a once-over, making such edits as are required, I've no doubt that the article would improve as a result. The National Center for Biotechnology Information website contans some details, but this is outside my field of understanding. If this request is incorrectly placed, perhaps you could point me to a better location. Thanks, and regards, BillC 19:11, 2 November 2006 (UTC).

Negative feedback loops and feedback inhibition

There seems to be little information on negative feedback loops and feedback inhibition on Misplaced Pages. Negative feedback loop redirects to negative feedback and feedback inhibition redirects to feedback. Neither article provides sufficient information for a topic that is covered in high school and intro bio classes. Should there be a separate article for feedback in biology? - tameeria 21:18, 5 May 2007 (UTC)

Addendum: Autoregulatory loop has been transwikied and thus has no Misplaced Pages page at this time. I think it should have a page though, maybe in merge with the two mentioned above. This is an important concept in enzyme and gene regulation. - tameeria 17:37, 6 May 2007 (UTC)

Assistance required with Morphogenetic fields

For years now there has been a wikipedia page called morphogenetic fields, but was actually about Rupert Sheldrake's fringe ideas on Morphic fields. PZ Myers at Pharyngula noticed the problem. and a swift fix was put in place by a reader. As a result, the offending article was moved to Morphogenetic field (Rupert Sheldrake) and is proposed for merge into Morphic field. There is also an almost empty article on morphogenetic fields which could use a lot of input -- and the Pharyngula blog article I have linked also has good information and links that can be used. -- Duae Quartunciae (t|c) 20:59, 18 July 2007 (UTC)

Merge is apparently contentious for at least one Sheldrake supporter; who removed the tags indicating that a merger is proposed. I have replaced them; but more input from people with biological background and experience with wikipedia conventions would be very much appreciated. -- Duae Quartunciae (t|c) 05:01, 19 July 2007 (UTC)
