Wikipedia:WikiProject Molecular and Cellular Biology/Requested articles
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
On this page may be found a pool of articles that are stubs or missing entirely. If you have the urge to work on something new to you, this is a good place to start.

[edit] Specificaly requested articles
This is usually a good place to start, if only because you know that somebody out there is waiting partiently for more information on some particular topic.
[edit] Articles requested here
On occasion, users will post requested articles directly to this page. This are sometimes completed first because somebody was kind enough to acknowledge our existance.
- Articles that are in need of creation/destubbing
- New wikipedia pages for protocadherin are needed at Common chimpanzee.
- New wikipedia pages for RuBisCO activase and CA1P-phosphatase are needed at RuBisCO.
- New wikipedia pages for desmocollins are needed at Intermediate filament.
- New wikipedia pages for ParM are needed at Cytoskeleton.
- New wikipedia pages for bacterial MotA, MotB, FliG, FliM, and FliN motor components are needed at Motor protein.
- New wikipedia entry for the enzyme PEP carboxylase
- New wikipedia entry for protein Sliding clamp loader (Sliding Clamp)
[edit] Wikipedia:Requested articles
Perhaps the richest source of red links on all of Wikipedia, the Wikipedia:Requested articles is essentially unexplored territory. The sections that are of most interest to this project live on the natural sciences subpage, specifically the biology section.
[edit] Lists of topics
The main space pages are repositories containing dozens of links to a myriad subjects of interest to molecular and cellular biology. Unfortunately (or perhaps fortunately, if you're bored), a large number of these links are red. There are several such lists, including, and probably not limited to:
- List of basic biochemistry topics
- List of biochemistry topics
- List of biomolecules
- List of molecular biology topics
[edit] Articles needing attention
If you happen to have the desire to work on something new, but don't want to make the effort to create from scratch, an excellent source of lonely articles can be found at Wikipedia:Pages needing attention/Biology. Here, one may find articles ranging from stubs to delisted featured articles. All, however, are biology articles that need some degree of work.
[edit] Assistance requested at Keratoconus
Keratoconus is a featured article, to which I made a number of contributions. The article contains a section on the pathophysiology of the disease, which includes a paragraph on its possible genetic links. I know very little about genetics, and this section is probably a weak point in the article. If a knowledgeable person associated with this project would care to lend their expertise and give this section a once-over, making such edits as are required, I've no doubt that the article would improve as a result. The National Center for Biotechnology Information website contans some details, but this is outside my field of understanding. If this request is incorrectly placed, perhaps you could point me to a better location. Thanks, and regards, BillC 19:11, 2 November 2006 (UTC).
