Blog critiquing Wikipedia
Just thought I'd alert you to this new blog, En.wiki Bad Science, which critiques some of poorly written science articles on Wikipedia. They go into a very detailed dissection of articles which really leads to larger questions of how articles are pieced together from an assortment of sources, how there is original research even just interpreting those references and the wisdom of having a Good Article review from individuals who have no knowledge of the subjects they are reviewing.

- S/he actually has some good points, worth reading. Nevermind a few hyperbolic expressions - say, all and every admins don't care (we do care), and such; all too normal when somewhat upset - Nabla (talk) 00:36, 24 October 2013 (UTC)
International Year of Crystallography 2014
UNESCO proclaimed the "International Year of Crystallography 2014". It can be an important opportunity for wikipedians to contribute in an international initiative, spreading the scientific knowledge, in particular about crystallography.
These are my proposals to participate to this event:
- to create the page International Year of Crystallography 2014 in all the Wikipedias
- to improve substantially during this year the page Crystallography, Crystal and other important pages about crystallography, in all the Wikipedias
- to create and translate pages related to crystallography
- to create a Portal:Crystallography
- to organize better the pictures in commons:Category:Crystallography and encourage the creation of new pictures
- to contact all the Wikipedias, other Wikimedia projects, Wikimedia Foundation and the organizing committee of the "International Year of Crystallography 2014" (here you can see their contacts) to communicate our adhesion to this initiative.
Do you have any other opinion or suggestion? --Daniele Pugliesi (talk) 10:10, 20 November 2013 (UTC)

Deletion discussion for
Comments are welcome at Wikipedia:Categories_for_discussion/Log/2013_November_26#Category:Solitary_Animals for the deletion of a category about animal species that don't exhibit gregarious behaviour. Diego (talk) 08:12, 6 December 2013 (UTC)
Proposed page reorganization
All, I've proposed a reorganization of Citizen science on its talk page. As this is my first experiment in reorganizing a page, I'm not sure of the process, whether a single page reorg requires a full WP:RFC. Since the page in question is listed on its talk page as affiliated with this Project, I thought I'd at least point to that discussion from here, so that folks here are aware. Please direct any comments on the reorg of the page to that talk page, and any advice on the process to my talk page. Thanks 1bandsaw (talk) 20:43, 12 December 2013 (UTC)
