Portal:Molecular and Cellular Biology/Selected picture/Selected picture candidates

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

On this page you can suggest articles for display in the "Selected article" box on Portal:Molecular and Cellular Biology, and discuss them. This should be an easy way for more people to get involved in the molecular and cellular biology portal. Please don't hesitate to join in this portal (anyone can!).

[edit] Procedure

[edit] Finding good candidates

Look for an image on Wikipedia (or Wikimedia commons) that is related to Molecular or Cellular biology that you think is very good and would be suitable for use as the selected image. This image should of high quality and resolution, be pleasing to the eye (however, de gustibus non disputandum), and should have a correct copyright tag and photo credit.

[edit] How to add your nomination

1. Click on the "Edit"-button for the "Current nominations" section.
2. At the top of this page (above the other candidates) type (replace FILENAME with the filename that you are nominating): === [[:Image:FILENAME]] ===
3. Below this new line, add your reasons for nominating the image and then sign your nomination with ~~~~. If you created this picture, type "self-nomination". You can add a thumbnail of the image to the nomination page by inserting [[Image:FILENAME|thumb|right]].

[edit] Supporting and opposing

• If you approve of a picture, write "Support" below the reason why this picture was nominated, followed by your reasons for supporting it.
  • A nomination is considered a vote in support, so nominators don't need to add another vote to their nominations.
• If you oppose a nomination, write "Oppose" below the list of supports, followed by the reasons for your objection. Where possible, objections should provide a specific rationale that can be addressed.
  • To withdraw an objection, strike it out (with <s>...</s>) rather than removing it.

[edit] Past nominations

[edit] Image:Endomembrane system diagram.svg

diagram shows a endomembrane system on a Eukaryote cell.

Nominate and Support Adenosine | Talk 05:05, 3 October 2006 (UTC)

Oppose Is there not a similiar, clear consise diagram, but that has a little more detail in it?

[edit] Image:TCA.svg

Overview of the citric acid cycle

"Self nomination" Adenosine | Talk 04:59, 3 October 2006 (UTC) | I'm very flattered you guys nominated and voted for my C4 pathway diagram, but this one is the only one I've done recently that I have liked.

[edit] Image:Chtxphenomen1.png

Chemotaxis related migratory responses

"self nomination" Kohlasz 08:15, 3 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Image:Axopodium Mikrotubuli.jpg

Section through an axopodia (heliozoa) showing the microtubules in cross section.

Found on wikicommons just to get the ball rolling. Good geometry and nice microgram representing the tubular structure of microtubules.

• Nominate and support. David D. (Talk) 20:45, 10 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Image:RobertHookeMicrographia1665.jpg

Suber cells and mimosa leaves. Robert Hooke, Micrographia, 1665

Found on wikicommons just to get the ball rolling. Not a 'wow' picture but the historical significaance is just too good to pass over.

• Nominate and support. David D. (Talk) 20:45, 10 July 2006 (UTC)

SUPPORT- I agree the historical significance makes it interesting, and it it quite pretty!

[edit] Image:Mitotic spindle color micrograph.gif

Chromosomes (blue) and mitotic spindle (green) during cell division

Found on wikicommons just to get the ball rolling. A little pixellated but shows a great representation of mitosis.

• Nominate and support. David D. (Talk) 20:45, 10 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Image:FluorescentCells.jpg

Endothelial cells under the microscope. Nuclei are stained blue with DAPI, microtubles are marked green by an antibody and actin filaments are labelled red with phalloidin

Came across this picture on the cytoskeleton page. Does a good job with triple labelling of showing subcellular structure.

• Nominate and support. David D. (Talk) 20:45, 10 July 2006 (UTC)

Support An excellent example of art in science, also I'm sure it appeals to scientists and non-scientists alike Jnb 18:24, 28 August 2006 (UTC)

Support Beautiful Adenosine | Talk 04:59, 3 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Image:HatchSlackpathway.png

One of the many excellent illustrations prepared by Adenosine. I nominate this over Image:Calvin-cycle3.png, since C4 cycle IMO is more than just the biochemistry.

• Nominate and support. Peter Z.^Talk 11:10, 8 July 2006 (UTC)
• Support great diagram. These really help when writing an article. David D. (Talk) 20:45, 10 July 2006 (UTC)
• Support it is a great diagram. Excellent diagram of a reaction pathway. GAThrawn22 14:52, 14 July 2006 (UTC)
• Support, an excellent, clear, concise and, most importantly, interesting diagram Jnb 11:30, 7 August 2006 (UTC)
