Unit2: Wikipedia Five Pillars Summary

Pillar I

An excyclopedia. Wikipedia is not a soapbox or a place to advertise products or ideas. It is not a dictionary or an online location for indiscriminate information.

Pillar II

Neutrality. Major points of should express a balanced point of view. Do not debate the information, include an accurate multitude of view points.

Pillar III

Content is free. Consider all copyright laws and never plagiarize. Remember no editor owns a article.

Pillar IV

Respect. Be respectful and provide contructive critizm to other editors. Apply Wikipedia etiquette, be open and assume good faith on part of others.

Pillar V

No firm rules. Article are always changinf and being edited over time. Be firm and don not worry about making mistakes.

Summary of characteristics of target article (B-GA)

The objective of this Wikipedia assignment is to create a “B to GA” level of quality article from a “Stub” level of quality article. Summarized below are the criteria required to attain a B to GA article. To begin, a description of a Stub article is needed. A Stub article has very basic and minimal information or description about a particular topic. It is brief and in most cases contains irrelevant information.

B article: The B article has six criteria that satisfy this level of quality.

i) Referenced with reliable sources using inline citations.

ii) Reasonable coverage of the topic with no inaccuracies present.

iii) Defined structure with content organized into specific groups including a lead section.

iv) The article is well written the flows well and without major grammatical errors. The “manual of style”

v) Content supporting material as required. Illustrations are encouraged. Diagrams and an “infobox” are required where. relevant

vi) The content of the topic is presented in an understandable way. It is written to a broad audience, with any technical background well explained.

GA article: The GA (good) article has six criteria that satisfy this level of quality.

i) It is well written with clear and concise information. It adheres to “manual of style” guidelines and respects copyright laws.

ii) Contains verifiable information with a decent list of references. Includes in-line citations from reliable resources.

iii) Broad in its coverage, addressing the main aspect of the topic, yet stays focused.

iv) It is neutral, representing viewpoints fairly.

v) The article is stable, and does not change day to day.

vi) If possible it is illustrated with relevant images, tagged with copyright status and has a proper caption.

Escherichia coli are being used in biofuel production. E. coli has a great background in understanding its genetic and metabolic functions^[1]. This allows it to be the perfect model to design biocatalysts that convert plant material into a biofuel ^[1] . It is an organism that can be easily applied to current metabolic engineering and synthetic biology ^[2]. However, there are still challenges to experience and overcome. Reviews have been published relaying the work in using E. coli and how it will utilize a variety of different substrates. It seems E. coli is a good choice because it is relatively cost effective and can be effectively optimized^[2].

Central Dogma Model: The transcription of genetic information from DNA to RNA to eventually make a protein

The central dogma model was developed in the 1950's. It was a term referred to by Francis Crick in 1956 as the flow of genetic information.^[1] It will be a good basis for the article frameshift mutations. The importance of the the codon and how it is critical for transferring genetic information, etc. etc. etc......
