Rosetta@home
The article on Rosetta@home got promoted to GA status as a Natural sciences good article this morning. What is the process for getting articles reassessed in the MCB Wikiproject? Does being GA imply that status across Wikiprojects, after it's been promoted by a general review? If not, then I would greatly appreciate someone from MCB reviewing the article. I plan on nominating it at FAC by the end of this week, barring any unresolved concerns raised by Wikiproject-specific reviews. Emw2012 (talk) 21:54, 8 September 2008 (UTC)
- GAN raises the article's status to GA across all WikiProjects. A bot will make the appropriate changes to the article's talk page if it has not already done so. I suggest getting a Peer Review for the article first before submitting it to FAC; it still has some work to do before it's there. For example, web references need a publisher per WP:CITE/ES, and most of them are missing one in this article. Also, the placement of some references are incorrect; they should all be after any punctuation marks. Gary King (talk) 21:58, 8 September 2008 (UTC)
- Thank you for the information and advice. I'll fix those issues and submit the article to Peer Review tonight. Emw2012 (talk) 22:24, 8 September 2008 (UTC)
- Please leave me a note about the PR, after you submit the article; I'm interested in helping. Graham Colm Talk 22:47, 8 September 2008 (UTC)

- Graham is an expert at FACs, so the article will be in excellent hands with him. Good luck on the future FAC! Gary King (talk) 00:03, 9 September 2008 (UTC)
I submitted the article to Peer Review shortly ago. The several incorrectly positioned references have been moved to be after punctuation. 'Publisher' attributes have been filled in for most references. I've refrained from using them on journal references, since from my experience they're so rarely seen there and not included in WP:REF/ES#Journal_articles. Because I am unsure of who would be the publisher of forum posts (which only include reliable information from project scientists and forum moderators not otherwise available), I also omitted them from that particular type of web reference. Another exception was on references to 'BOINCstats', a very widely used statistics website for BOINC (Rosetta@home's distributed computing platform) that is both hosted and author by the same individual. Thanks for the help thus far. Emw2012 (talk) 03:39, 9 September 2008 (UTC)
Help needed at FAC
The article has gone through PR and is now in its second week at FAC. SandyGeorgia has expressed concern about there not being any review of individually sourced statements nor any check of scholarly sources for coverage of any criticism, controversy or weaknesses about Rosetta@home. I will be adding content about any criticism/controversy/weakness I find, but if anyone in the project could help in reviewing sources per SandyGeorgia's request (or otherwise providing input at Rosetta@home's FAC), I'd be eternally grateful.

Vesicle
I could use a hand on the vesicle (biology) article. I've been rewriting for readability, but it could really use some outside references. Thanks in advance. Rozzychan (talk) 18:35, 5 October 2008 (UTC)
Sorbitol Pathway
Someone made a new article at Sorbitol Pathway that was written pretty disgustingly. First of all, "Sorbitol Pathway" is synonymous with "Polyol pathway," so for the time being I have made it a redirect and have put the information the person put at this page here: User:Andrew Nutter/Sorbitol Pathway. The current state of what was the article (I think it was really only about how it relates to diabetes) is unacceptable to be in a Wikipedia article, so it is just sitting there at my user subpage. I have done a lot of markup to it to make it slightly more coherent, but at this point all that biology terminology is completely lost on me and I can't make it much better than it is. If someone could please edit it to make it coherent, then put it on the Polyol pathway page, it would be greatly appreciated. Again, feel free to edit my subpage User:Andrew Nutter/Sorbitol Pathway.

Mitochondrion
Some content is wanted for Mitochondrion, particularly mitochondrial copy numbers. Thanks. --Una Smith (talk) 14:37, 24 October 2008 (UTC)
Amino acid
The article failed in Good article reassessment and should be set back in the quality scale! A GAN is underway for Amino acid to get it back to GA!.--Stone (talk) 14:43, 10 November 2008 (UTC)
- I'm working on it. Tim Vickers (talk) 17:40, 10 November 2008 (UTC)
