Welcome to the Molecular and Cellular Biology WikiProject!
We're a group of editors dedicated to improving Wikipedia articles about molecular and cellular biology.
We'll help you contribute to these articles and collaborate with other editors.
Asking for help
The aim of our WikiProject is to develop more and better articles about molecular and cellular biology.
We'll do our utmost to help you, even if you're not an official member of our WikiProject.
Our success stories
Featured Articles (FAs) are the highest quality articles on Wikipedia. They receive careful vetting from the community and must satisfy rigorous criteria regarding their comprehensiveness, accuracy, neutrality, referencing, and writing quality. Only FAs may appear as "Today's Featured Article" on the Main Page, which has 4 to 7 million page views each day.
Good Articles (GAs) are vetted less rigorously than Featured Articles and, hence, are typically of lesser quality. Although some GAs are developed further FAs, this is not always appropriate. Independent evaluations suggest that GAs in the sciences are of reliably high quality.
We also maintain a list of our most viewed articles, which may help you choose which article(s) to work on.
