Wikipedia:WikiProject Molecular and Cellular Biology/Organization 

Contents

This worklist for the Molecular and Cellular Biology WikiProject provides structure and organization to all the work going on. The progress statistics from this worklist will be posted monthly on the project discussion page.

This list is updated approximately every day using the information automatically generated by Mathbot based on the characteristics specified in the {{Wikiproject MCB}} template on each article's talk page. A second application written by ClockworkSoul takes the information on the Mathbot-generated page and merges it with this page as follows:

Grading

Each article is assigned two grades: one for "importance" and another for "completeness". As mentioned above, these grades as assigned to articles by adding and/or updating the {{Wikiproject MCB}} template on that article's talk page. If you have improved an article, you may adjust the entry in the template yourself, or you may simply put a remark in the talk page that improvements have been done.

Completeness

The system used by this project is the one proposed by the Wikipedia:Version 1.0 Editorial Team for assessing how close an article is to "complete". The system is based on a letter scheme that reflects the status of completion for each article (article style and language quality carry just as much weight as the completeness of information). Once an article reaches the A-Class, it is considered "complete", although obviously edits will continue to be made.

The completeness of the article may be adjusted by updating the class attribute in the {{Wikiproject MCB}} template in the article's talk page. The six valid arguments for this attribute are:

Importance

This attribute declares how important the article in question is to this wikiproject. It is based loosely on how aware the general population is, and therefore how likely they are to consult the Wikipedia on the subject.

The importance of an article may be adjusted by updating the importance attribute in the {{Wikiproject MCB}} template in the article's talk page. The four valid arguments for this attribute are:

Fundamentals of molecular and cellular biology

This category is designated for articles about basic topics in molecular and cellular biology that form the very foundations of the subject. While there may be a degree of crossover between this category and the more specific categories below, this is designated for topics that are generally introduced to the average person at the high school level or lower.

Embryonic stem cell [24] Top September 28, 2006 Start There are three articles that can be made into one: Stem cells, Adult stem cells, and embryonic stem cells.

Changed rating from top to high to make it consistent with adult stem cell and because this is also covered by stem cell and stem cell controversy. - tameeria 17:04, 18 February 2007 (UTC) (edit comment)

there's reference web site I hope it will be revised if that's true. The site is http://www.newlifestemcell.com/ may it be help to find true fact. thank you

Could someone with edit permissions Please change the name of the first man to speak on the hypothesis of stem cells to the correct "Alexander A. Maximow"? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Hwahwahwa (talkcontribs) 16:59, 6 October 2008 (UTC) (edit comment)

The histidine structure on some of the drawings are incorrect, specifically the double bonds within the ring. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.226.22.60 (talk) 19:24, 13 December 2007 (UTC) (edit comment)
