The Article Creation and Improvement Drive is a monthly collaboration to improve molecular and cellular biology articles to good or featured article status.
- /History - For past winners.
- /Removed - For removed nominations.
- /Update how-to - For updating the collaboration of the month.
Introduction
To vote or nominate you have to be a registered user with at least one contribution that is not a vote. Any molecular and cellular biology related article may be nominated except:
A great place to start is the project worklist, which contains a list of many articles that have been identified as being of interest to the project, as well as their importance and state of completion.

How to vote
Sign with "# ~~~~" on the end of the list of the article you want to vote for and then update the vote count in the template. You can vote for as many articles as you like.
How the article is selected
Article with most votes on the first day of each month in 00:00 GMT is selected as "The current MCB Article Improvement Drive article". If two articles have same number of votes, the older nominee wins.

The next selection will be on Thursday, 01 January 2009 00:00:00 (UTC) |
How an article is removed from the list
Articles need one vote per three weeks to stay on the list. If the current date (December 3, 2008) exceeds the "stays until" date of that particular article, the article entry is generally removed from this page and moved to page for removed nominations.

- As they form a series and I needed a break, I made a template, here is the spoiler: template:MolBioCentralDogma (I stole the formatingfrom the romans) will finish it next week eventually...----
- (Fixed that link for ya) Thats really snazzy! Is it ready for prime time? – ClockworkSoul 08:55, 14 May 2008 (UTC)
- I hate to say this... but one of my pet peeves is the misunderstanding of the central dogma to mean DNA -> RNA -> protein, because inevitably someone follows this with "and reverse transcriptase violates the central dogma!" (It does not. The central dogma is about the directionality of information: it can go from nucleic acid to nucleic acid or protein, but cannot be transferred from protein to protein or protein to nucleic acid.) I worry this template would only promote this misinterpretation. Would it be possible to use another name for this template, eg. "gene expression"? Madeleine ✉ ✍ 13:58, 14 May 2008 (UTC)
- Sure, Dogma is as the template name as it is the most catchy word in Mol Bio (that is why F Crick incorrectly chose it). gene expression actually works better (less awesome though). Consider it changed. The template picture remains as it is (simple), if that is ok. --Squidonius (talk) 14:26, 14 May 2008 (UTC)
- I added the template to the various pages but I did little or no editing. I do not think major edits may be needed, so this may be dropped. --Squidonius (talk) 17:18, 6 June 2008 (UTC)

- This poor article, important (importance=top) even at the secondary school level, is of a truly poor quality (class=stub). Truly, it needs some love!
