[edit] Phi value analysis
I noticed your recent edits to this article and wanted to stop by to welcome you, since we can always use more people who know proteins, and you obviously have good knowledge of this area. Some of the details that you added are not explained in the rest of the article, or elsewhere on wikipedia, and are not accessible to anyone not already familiar with the method. I've temporarily commented out the mention of chevron plot limbs and m-values pending expansion of this area - would you be interested in expanding phi value analysis to include more details, or possibly creating articles such as chevron plot? Thanks! Opabinia regalis 03:06, 26 August 2006 (UTC)
- That's great that you're interested in contributing further. I know phi values have been under fire lately for their general fudginess, so the article definitely needed some mention of the errors involved. Just FYI, wiki syntax has a specialized format for lists - put each item on a new line that begins with an asterisk. More than you ever wanted to know is at Help:Editing. There's also a general Wikipedia:Manual of Style for, among other things, when lists should and should not be used. (I bring this up because you wrote a couple of things in the format a)... b)... c)... etc., which looks fine but isn't 'standard' Wikipedia usage.) Hope to see you around the protein folding articles! Opabinia regalis 18:48, 26 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Molecular and Cellular Biology Wikiproject Newsletter!
|
We have a new newsletter!
|
|---|
| As you've no doubt noticed, there's a new Molecular and Cellular Biology Wikiproject newsletter, which will be sent out about once a month to all WP:MCB members. This newsletter is designed to perform two equally important functions. Firstly (and obviously, perhaps) it will serve to inform the members of the MCB project of such things as important discussions, votes, and article improvement drives. Secondly, and perhaps more importantly, the periodic correspondance will hopefully encourage a greater level of participation from the MCB community by acting as a gentle reminder of many of the the interesting tasks that are awaiting completion. If you prefer to receive this newsletter in the form of a link, or not receive it at all, you can add your name at Wikipedia:WikiProject Molecular and Cellular Biology/Newsletter/Opt Out List. |

New project feature: MCB Article Improvement Drive
|
| Have any pet MCB subjects that you think need attention? Have you been longing to be part of a team of like-minded editors working toward a common goal? If so, the MCB Article Improvement Drive is for you! On the first of every month a new article is selected by the MCB with the goal of promoting it to good article status. Make your nominations and cast your votes now, because the first article will be chosen on September 1! |
|
Discussion: do we need an MCB director?
|
| In an effort to organize and motivate the MCB activities, it has recently been proposed that a member of the MCB project take the role of "director", who would be responsible for the administrative side of the MCB project, including but not limited to coordinating recruiting efforts, spamming the newsletter, and maintaining the Article Improvement Drive and MCB Portal. A special discussion/vote page has been created for this proposal, and the vote will run until 23:59, 10 September 2006 (UTC), unless the community decides otherwise. |

Odds and ends: what else you got?

[edit] Molecular and Cellular Biology WikiProject Votes
 |
The Molecular and Cellular Biology WikiProject has recently opened two surveys that will help to decide the direction of the project. First, nominations are currently being accepted for the position of coordinator of the project. Second, votes and additional suggestions for the official title of that position are also being taken. As a member of the project, we hope that you'll drop by and voice your opinion. – ClockworkSoul 03:55, 18 September 2006 (UTC) |

[edit] One more vote for the coordinator of the Molecular and Cellular Biology Wikiproject
Since two of the three editors nominated for Coordinator of the MCB Wikiproject declined their nominations, one more vote has been posted: should the remaining nominee, ClockworkSoul, be named as the coordinator, or should nominations be reopened? Every opinion counts, so please vote! – ClockworkSoul 17:56, 17 October 2006 (UTC)

The project main page has gotten a facelift!
|
|---|
| When people visit the project, the very first thing that they see tends to be the project's main page, and with this in mind, the main page has been completely overhauled. To enhance readability the various "goals" sections have been merged, and a detailed "how you can help" section has been added. To increase accessibility for more established members, the links to any resources that were in the main body text have been moved onto the navigation bar on the right. Finally, the whole page has been nicely laid out and given a nice attractive look. |
|
New project feature: peer review
|
| I'm proud to announce the addition of out newest feature: peer review! The MCB peer review feature aims serve as a stepping stone to improve articles to featured article status by allowing editors to request the opinions of other members about articles that they might not otherwise see or contribute to. |

The article worklist
|
| We’ve had quite a bit of progress on the worklist article in the past month. Not only has the list itself nearly doubled in size from 143 to 365 entries, but an amazing three articles have been advanced to FA status, thanks in great part to the efforts of our very own TimVickers! Remember, the state of the worklist is the closest thing we have to quantifying the progress of the project, so if you get the chance, please take a look at the list, pick a favorite article, and improve it! |
|
Collaboration of the Month
|
| Last month's Collaboration of the Month, cell nucleus, was a terrific success! In one month, the article went from a dismal stub to an A-class article. Many thanks to all of the collaborators who contributed, especially ShaiM, who took on the greatest part of the burden. This month's Collaboration of the Month, adenosine triphosphate, isn't getting nearly the attention of its predecessor, so if you can, please lend a hand! |
|
Finally...
|
| The project has a new coordinator, ClockworkSoul! The role - my role - of coordinator will be to harmonize the project's common efforts, in part by organizing the various tasks required to make the project run as smoothly and completely as possible. Many thanks to those who supported me and those participated in the selection process. |
