Wikipedia:School and university projects/Biomembranes at UF

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
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

[edit]
  • 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.

The following articles are ready for a review to make sure they are ready for GA criteria:

If you are starting a new article

[edit]
  • 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.

Images

[edit]

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.
