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

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

I
Add nomination

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

{{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.

Comment The next selection will be on Tuesday, 01 October 2024 00:00:00 (UTC)

How an article is removed from the list

  • Likely the most well-know bacteria in the world, this top-importance subject should be more than a B-level article. There's plenty of room for expansion of the many activities of—and uses for—this bug (including its commensal role in the body, its use in biological research and industrial processes, the diseases it can cause, its history in the forefront of genetics (and link to phage research), etc. This should really be a featured article, and I'm sure we could get some help from the Microbiology WikiProject folks. — Scientizzle 19:12, 6 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • I agree we should aim for featured article status since this is a very important model organism. Afterall they say "What is true of E. coli is true for elephants" ! Million_Moments 07:04, 11 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • True; and a high traffic article too; even though many edits are vandalism. :) - TwoOars (Rev) 20:56, 11 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

  • This model organism deserves a much better article than it currently has. Along with rice and corn, it is the most studied plant on Earth. There is tremendous room for expanding the research section, and a need for photos of various mutant strains of note. This article is also listed as Top priority for Project Plants.

  • I think this domain is one of the most exciting discoveries to come out of MCB in recent decades. Its discovery and study has drastically altered the scientific concept of what life is and where it can survive, thereby renewing interest in the search for life elsewhere in the solar system. --EncycloPetey 16:58, 6 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
