Albert thinks this is an awesome idea. Alberta, never satisfied with mediocrity, thinks UF students should try to get their articles to
featured article status.
The
University of Florida's CHM 6304 (Special topics: Biomembranes) is working on bringing several articles in this subject to GA-level during the Spring 2009 semester. Students will be assessed by the instructor,
Gfanucci (
talk·contribs) (
faculty page here), and the project will be assisted by Wikipedian
Moni3 (
talk·contribs).
This page will grow as students make progress.
Goals
Students will register as Wikipedia users and notify Dr. Fanucci of their user names by email. Student's will also post onto Dr. Fanucci's
Gfanucci (
talk·contribs) talk page their user name and page to be modified.
Once registered, students will choose an article within their scope to bring to GA-level.
Students will add
cited material from
reliable sources to their chosen articles, and keep in mind comprehensiveness and readability.
Students will add at least one
public domain image, either downloaded or created for the article, with the proper tags.
Students will notify Dr. Fanucci when they feel their articles are at GA level. Each student's grade will be assessed with the
Good article criteria. Each student is urged to nominate their articles for GA after the class has been completed.
News
The following articles are ready for a review to make sure they are ready for GA criteria:
Idevera - created section 1 (April 20, 2009) in
Lipid signaling page (start class on April 9, 2009) and named this section, "Sphingolipid second messengers." Finished uploading image Sphingolipid second messengers4.png on April 21, 2009. Renamed section 2 as "Second messengers from phosphatidylinositol" (Kyle's section).
Ymahn - created antimicrobial peptides->
protegrin page and updated sections, structure, Antimicrobial Activities, Determination of AMP action and Bacterial Resistance in
antimicrobial peptides.

If you are starting a new article
If you are starting a new article, turning a red link blue, your article may get a mention on the main page in the Did You Know section. The benefit of this is that the article may get 20,000 hits or so the day it is linked on the main page.
You must suggest your article at WP:DYK no more than 7 days after it is posted as at least a start class article. The article must be at least 1,500 characters of prose. Information in your article should be cited.
You can suggest a "hook", or a sentence that mentions an interesting fact in your article. The hook should be no more than 200 characters long. Suggestions can be
placed here. Read through a few to get an idea of what to suggest.
Please note: Sandwiching text between images on the left and right is a formatting error. Please try to avoid this in your final product. If your article appears it will have more images than text for the particular section, consider deleting images that are unnecessary for understanding the topic, or placing the images in a
gallery at the bottom of the article.
