User:Proteins/Welcome page
Welcome to the Molecular and Cellular Biology WikiProject!
We're a group of editors dedicated to improving Wikipedia articles about molecular and cellular biology.
We'll help you contribute to these articles and collaborate with other editors.
Asking for help
[edit]The aim of our WikiProject is to develop more and better articles about molecular and cellular biology.
We'll do our utmost to help you, even if you're not an official member of our WikiProject.
- Request help from a WikiProject editor
- Ask our Coordinator, User:Tim Vickers, for help
- Ask User:Proteins for help
Our success stories
[edit]Featured Articles (FAs) are the highest quality articles on Wikipedia. They receive careful vetting from the community and must satisfy rigorous criteria regarding their comprehensiveness, accuracy, neutrality, referencing, and writing quality. Only FAs may appear as "Today's Featured Article" on the Main Page, which has 4 to 7 million page views each day.
Good Articles (GAs) are vetted less rigorously than Featured Articles and, hence, are typically of lesser quality. Although some GAs are developed further FAs, this is not always appropriate. Independent evaluations suggest that GAs in the sciences are of reliably high quality.
We also maintain a list of our most viewed articles, which may help you choose which article(s) to work on.
How to contribute
[edit]The following suggestions focus on article contributions. However, there are vast areas of contribution unrelated to this. For example, there is Wikipedia:WikiProject Copyright Cleanup that addresses plagiarism, the Wikipedia:Counter-Vandalism Unit that helps remove obvious vandalism, and the Wikipedia:Reliable sources/Noticeboard, where editors go to ask questions about sourcing. In other words, we are just giving you the tip of the iceberg!
- Comment on articles that have been nominated for Featured article candidacy, Good article candidacy, or Peer review
- Suggest improvements to articles on their talk pages
- Make small corrections to articles
- Add references to sentences and/or paragraphs of articles
- Upload existing "free" media (images, sounds, video)
- Create a list of reliable sources for others to use
- Organize or reorganize articles
- Improve or create the lead section of articles
- Create and reference new sections of articles
- Expand articles by adding and referencing multiple sections
- Design media (diagrams, animations, etc.)
- Revise/begin an entire article, achieving Good Article and/or Featured Article status
- Improve a set of articles spanning a particular topic, creating a Featured Topic
Our most active members
[edit]The following table lists some of our most active members, along with their interests and and their contributions to articles in molecular and cellular biology (abbreviated "MCB"). The last two columns highlight the number of Featured Articles ("FAs") and Good Articles ("GAs") that they have helped to develop. The table can be sorted by clicking on the arrows at the top of each column.
