The Article Creation and Improvement Drive is a monthly collaboration to improve molecular and cellular biology articles to good or featured article status.

/History - For past winners.
/Removed - For removed nominations.
/Update how-to - For updating the collaboration of the month.

Introduction

edit

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:

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

edit
I
Add nomination

Copy and paste the following template to the bottom of the list of nominations on this page and fill it out. 

===[[Article]]===

; 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

edit

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

edit

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 Sunday, 01 December 2024 00:00:00 (UTC)

How an article is removed from the list

edit

Articles need one vote per three weeks to stay on the list. If the current date (November 16 2024) exceeds the "stays until" date of that particular article, the article entry is generally removed from this page and moved to page for removed nominations.

  • This poor article, important (importance=top) even at the secondary school level, is of a truly poor quality (class=stub). Truly, it needs some love!
  • I'd never marry a zygote. It sounds unsexy.Unfree (talk) 03:25, 30 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • Phospholipids are very important in many aspects of biology, from the plasma membrane to signaling. This important article (I personnaly believe it should be rated top but its rated high) has very poor graphics, no list of phospholipid classes and does not even describe anything related to phospholipids other than their ampiphatic character. It definitely needs some help to bring it up to high school biology level.
  • I do agree. Phospholipids are very important biomolecules. It is surprising to see such an important article having such less information. This needs immediate attention. Proquence (talk) 16:46, 8 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • I also agree with the above statements. Phospholipids are a major player in the biochemistry and genetic world. A high school biology level would be sufficient enough for now.
