Revision as of 19:50, 9 January 2007 by Artman40 (talk | contribs) (→[])(diff) ← Previous revision | Latest revision (diff) | Newer revision → (diff)The Article Creation and Improvement Drive is a monthly collaboration to improve molecular and cellular biology articles to good or featured article status.
Introduction
To vote or nominate you have to be a registered user with at least one contribution that is not a vote. Any molecular and cellular biology related article may be nominated except:
- Articles that are currently at featured status
- Articles in edit wars
A great place to start is the project worklist, which contains a list of many articles that have been identified as being of interest to the project, as well as their importance and state of completion.
How to nominate
| I | Add nomination
Copy and paste the following template to the bottom of the list of nominations on this page and fill it out. ===Template:SrcLink=== {{MCB CoM|start=December 27, 2024|votes=1}} ; Support: # ~~~~ ; Comments: * (put your reason for nomination) ~~~~ Under "comments" section put an explanation of what work is needed. |
|---|---|
| II | Notify
After submitting the new nomination, go to the nominated article and put {{MCBnom}}{{to do}}
on the top of the article's talk page. (skip {{to do}} if it's already present on the articles talk page) |
How to vote
Sign with "# ~~~~" on the end of the list of the article you want to vote for and then update the vote count in the template. You can vote for as many articles as you like.
How the article is selected
Article with most votes on the first day of each month in 00:00 GMT is selected as "The current MCB Article Improvement Drive article". If two articles have same number of votes, the older nominee wins.
|
The next selection will be on Wednesday, 01 January 2025 00:00:00 (UTC) |
How an article is removed from the list
Articles need one vote per two weeks to stay on the list. If the current date (December 27 2024) exceeds the "stays until" date of that particular article, the article entry is removed from this page and moved to page for removed nominations.

- This article is in very sorry shape. It needs some serious work before it's anything more than an eyesore.
- This is a sorry mess. I'm actually very surprised at how bad this is. Opabinia regalis 04:51, 27 September 2006 (UTC)
- Perhaps this could be coordinated with Wikiproject Metabolic Pathways. ShaiM 09:06, 18 October 2006 (UTC)

- A very high-profile topic, and a subject of close study for nearly all undergraduate students in biology and biochemistry. It's already in pretty good shape, and with a bit of polishing, I think that we can get it up to a full FA status. – ClockworkSoul 18:34, 15 November 2006 (UTC)
- Excellent suggestion! I was just reading/writing about this material yesterday. Keesiewonder 13:09, 27 November 2006 (UTC)

- Hope no one minds a repeat nomination :) I didn't see this one last time and would absolutely have supported, and as the subject of the chemistry Nobel this should be better than it is. Opabinia regalis 03:37, 30 November 2006 (UTC)
- Couldn't agree more. It's a shame I've been in the lab every night until midnight, because I sure would love to help on this too. – ClockworkSoul 06:44, 30 November 2006 (UTC)

- This is about four articles in one. Content itself doesn't look so bad at first glance, but it's unreferenced, over-sectioned, and unnecessarily lengthy while still covering each individual subtopic incompletely. Based on the history, it's gone relatively unmaintained and has been subject to slow edit creep for a long time. Opabinia regalis 07:53, 2 December 2006 (UTC)
- I don't vote often, but I really agree that this would be one that could benefit from a major reworking! Dr Aaron 12:54, 6 December 2006 (UTC)
- This article is horrible, while not of the highest importance. Hemoglobine is already nice, we should try to lift the standards in general rather than trying to achieve FA status on articles when there is lousy articles still left. Lord Metroid 17:47, 6 December 2006 (UTC)
- Added Keesiewonder, who clearly meant to sign her name. :) – ClockworkSoul 20:20, 23 December 2006 (UTC)

- T cells are essential for immunity against pathogens and cancer, and drive autoimmunity. Yet absolutely nothing was written about the development of T cells in the thymocyte article. I spent quite a while writing the article, but it would be great to get others to help on it to make this essential immunology topic a featured article. Sad mouse 23:57, 10 December 2006 (UTC)
- Also, most of the collaborations so far have been molecular, so it would be nice to have a cellular topic. Sad mouse 01:44, 11 December 2006 (UTC)

- With cell nucleus being featured now, I think this one deserves to be featured article quality as well. WS 00:59, 22 December 2006 (UTC)
