User:Username132/Boris Big Idea

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Boris' big idea was;

We have to find a common structure for the protein articles, only the content should differ, right now each article stands on its own. Some of them have sections, some don't even when they have enough text. Those with sections have them in a semi-random order. Some of the articles about the peptide hormones have also info for their recpetors on the same page which is not just a mentioning but the whole info table - Antidiuretic_hormone - that's too much for one article to handle. I have created this sample article with a sample structure and i would like that you guys take a look at it and see if the sections are ok and have a say about - shall we keep the section's names or shall we change them? do they have to take a different place in the articles structure? do we need to add more section? if yes - where? I know some groups of proteins will have some sections and won't have others, for an example enzymes will have "Reaction mechanism" or sort of, while transcription factors - "Binding sequences" (or whatever we decide to call it). I mean the whole text needs to be organized the same way the info tables are and each section will contain a specific part of the text, which i'm pretty sure you know that it has to be done this way but we also have to try to follow it. This will not only give the article a better look but will also help us when people add info, b/c even when the info is correct, by knowing to which part of the text it should belong to, we can easily check to make sure that it hasn't been already mentioned. Also i think that we should keep the info about the gene and its protein in the same article, they are very tightly related. Only in those few cases where a single gene gives different proteins, say APOB and its APOB48 and APOB100, or CDKN2A and its INK4A and ARF, we can have a separate article for the gene. -- Boris 15:34, 13 January 2006 (UTC)
