Hello. The WikiProject Council has recently updated the Wikipedia:WikiProject Council/Directory. This new directory includes a variety of categories and subcategories which will, with luck, potentially draw new members to the projects who are interested in those specific subjects. Please review the directory and make any changes to the entries for your project that you see fit. There is also a directory of portals, at User:B2T2/Portal, listing all the existing portals. Feel free to add any of them to the portals or comments section of your entries in the directory. The three columns regarding assessment, peer review, and collaboration are included in the directory for both the use of the projects themselves and for that of others. Having such departments will allow a project to more quickly and easily identify its most important articles and its articles in greatest need of improvement. If you have not already done so, please consider whether your project would benefit from having departments which deal in these matters. It is my hope that all the changes to the directory can be finished by the first of next month. Please feel free to make any changes you see fit to the entries for your project before then. If you should have any questions regarding this matter, please do not hesitate to contact me. Thank you. B2T2 23:37, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
I found this template made by User:David D. but I don't know how to edit it... I think it'd be useful, but I don't even know how to give it its own template page. Robotsintrouble 15:48, 14 December 2006 (UTC)
Basic topics in Glucose metabolism | ||
---|---|---|
Aerobic respiration | Anaerobic respiration | Other metabolism |
|
||
Diseases: Phosphofructokinase Deficiency, Hyperglycemia, Hypoglycemia, Diabetes mellitus, Glycogen storage disease | ||
Hormones: Insulin, Glucagon, Adrenalin, IGF1 and other insulin-like growth factors |
Created the template at Template:Glucose metabolism, to use simply type {{Glucose metabolism}}.

Hello, all. It was initially my hope to try to have this done as part of Esperanza's proposal for an appreciation week to end on Wikipedia Day, January 15. However, several people have once again proposed the entirety of Esperanza for deletion, so that might not work. It was the intention of the Appreciation Week proposal to set aside a given time when the various individuals who have made significant, valuable contributions to the encyclopedia would be recognized and honored. I believe that, with some effort, this could still be done. My proposal is to, with luck, try to organize the various WikiProjects and other entities of wikipedia to take part in a larger celebrartion of its contributors to take place in January, probably beginning January 15, 2007. I have created yet another new subpage for myself (a weakness of mine, I'm afraid) at User talk:Badbilltucker/Appreciation Week where I would greatly appreciate any indications from the members of this project as to whether and how they might be willing and/or able to assist in recognizing the contributions of our editors. Thank you for your attention. Badbilltucker 17:06, 30 December 2006 (UTC)
I'm very proud to see this discussion page in use! Time to take advantage of it...
The metabolism articles at the moment are a mess, as the {{ metabolism}} template demonstrates, and there needs to be a plan on how to proceed. I have a few ideas (see below), please comment/adapt or propose your own plan. After we decide on an overall structure it will be much easier to systematically improve the articles with appropriate priority.
I suggest 5 'classes' of articles:
Comments please! This is still very much a work in progress and any comments of factual accuracy/misconceptions, layout and overall apperance are welcome. I know the names dont fit in the boxes ;) - Zephyris Talk 19:19, 1 January 2007 (UTC)
It's really psychadelic. I love the colors, but I don't like the use of outlined text. I find the white outline text hard to read. Rozzychan 16:56, 25 February 2007 (UTC)
I would just like to point out that, at some point, I would like to make a similar diagrams for electron transfer processes and molecular biology processes - any contributions to the content/layout these could have would be welcome. - Zephyris Talk 13:03, 27 February 2007 (UTC)
I know that current view is to use the line drawings of molecules in pathways, but I find that when teaching glycolysis to introductory students, it is important to include every atom, so I made an old-fashioned Glycolysis pathway diagram from scratch.
Can you please read it and tell me if I have any errors in it. If it is OK I plan to add a link to the bottom of the glycolysis page saying "printable version" if no one objects. Rozzychan 17:02, 25 February 2007 (UTC)
NOT GOOD, look at phosphoenolpyruvate-carbon 2. there is a double bond and three single bonds on it. that hydrogen should not be there.
I've noticed the {{tl|Metabolic pathway}} template placed in the article. Shouldn't it be placed on the talk page, along with the rest of the project banners? Thanks, RHB Talk - Edits 00:27, 4 March 2007 (UTC)
You might also want to consider replacing {{tl|metabolic pathway stub}} with a talk-page equivalent, i.e. populating ‹The template Category link is being considered for merging.› Category:Stub-class metabolic pathway articles rather than a stub category as such. As it stands, it drives a coach and four through the stub guidelines. If not, it'll have to be renamed, reformatted, given a category -- and hence, a well-defined scope: it doesn't seem to me that everything this is used on would go in the ‹The template Category link is being considered for merging.› Category:metabolic pathways permcat, and the "of interest to" scoping is vague, and not really appropriate for a mainspace-category-feeding template.

This article, on a method for evaluating biological utilizations rates of proteins in human and animal consumption, was started in August and is in desperate need of an expert. We are having trouble locating one and the article desperately needs it. This method is used constantly in bodybuilding magazines and products and is the subject of much misinformation and half-truths. On the other hand it does appear to have some value. Please help if possible. Quadzilla99 22:04, 4 March 2007 (UTC)
Hi everybody, this article has been re-written and expanded. Any comments at Wikipedia:Peer review/Metabolism/archive1 would be very welcome. TimVickers 04:01, 21 March 2007 (UTC)
I have recently created a banner for Wikipedia:WikiProject Biology which has assessment parameters. I notice that your existing banner does not. Given the amount of overlap in the biology sector, and the concerns expressed elsewhere about the proliferation of project banners, I was wondering whether the members of this project would be interested in perhaps utilizing the Biology banner, with a "drop down tab" for this project, perhaps similar to the {{ WPMILHIST}} banner. Doing so would permit for individual assessment for each project, as that is something the Military History banner does, while at the same time reducing the amount of banner "clutter" on talk pages. If you would be interested in such an arrangement, please let me know and I will work to revise the Biology banner to include the "drop-down" tab and make the other arrangements required for your project, as well as theirs, to have assessment data available. Thank you. John Carter 21:01, 27 April 2007 (UTC)
Hi, I'm not sure, if this is the right place to post. I just noticed some of the PNGs of reaction arrows you're using on Commons and wanted to inform you that I uploaded a set of reaction arrows as SVGs some time ago, which you can find here. I thought they might be useful for your purpose. Regards, -- NEUROtiker 11:10, 21 October 2007 (UTC)
Hi there. I've nominated this article as a FAC (here), but have got very few reviews. Would anybody here like to comment? Tim Vickers ( talk) 04:26, 11 December 2007 (UTC)
The template has been listed at Wikipedia:Stubs for deletion for possible renaming or deletion. Of particular concern is that the template does not follow the naming guidelines for stub templates. Caerwine Caer’s whines 17:25, 19 March 2008 (UTC)
I made a proposal [1] to merge this wikiproject along with two others (WP:RNA & WP:Cell signaling) into the WP:MCB banner as a task force. Any comments would be most welcome in the WP:MCB note that I left. Cheers. Calaka ( talk) 03:51, 23 May 2009 (UTC)
I've made a new metro-style map of the major metabolic pathways, which was inspired by the already existing one ( Template:Metabolic_pathways) and other excellent online resources (e.g. [2], [3]). The map encompasses most of the biochem pathways in human, but also include important ones in plants / fungi / microbes (double lines). The metabolites are grouped as general terms (e.g. "Hexose Phosphates") instead of the specific ones in the existing map. I'm also going to make it a clickable map.
Some questions:
