I would like to revive this project. I noticed that you've added yourself to the list of available Spanish-to-English translators. Are you interested in working on Spanish Translation of the Week? — J3ff 06:26, 21 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Wikipedians vote to choose an article to be translated each week, similar to COTW. After an article is picked to be translated, the text from the Spanish Wikipedia is copied into the English Wikipedia article (a new article is created if one doesn't already exist in the English Wikipedia). A heading is put at the top of the article, stating that it is the Spanish Translation of the Week. Toward the bottom of the article, under a section titled "References", the Spanish Wikipedia article is cited as a source. The English Wikipedia article with Spanish text is then edited as people translate it into English. Feel free to ask my anymore questions. — J3ff 03:49, 23 Feb 2005 (UTC)

This week's Spanish translation is Hispania. Please help with the article. Thanks — J3ff 07:04, 28 Feb 2005 (UTC)

CREB

Hola Ché, I like your additions to excitotoxicity, but the phrase: hypoxic/ischemic conditions, activate a dominant CREB shut-off is a bit confusing. What is a dominant CREB shut-off? Does this means they turn off CREB activation, or did you mean activate a dminant-negative mechanism which shuts off CREB? Please clarify, and also add a link to the ref.

Molecular and Cellular Biology Wikiproject Newsletter!

We have a new newsletter!
As you've no doubt noticed, there's a new Molecular and Cellular Biology Wikiproject newsletter, which will be sent out about once a month to all WP:MCB members. This newsletter is designed to perform two equally important functions. Firstly (and obviously, perhaps) it will serve to inform the members of the MCB project of such things as important discussions, votes, and article improvement drives. Secondly, and perhaps more importantly, the periodic correspondance will hopefully encourage a greater level of participation from the MCB community by acting as a gentle reminder of many of the the interesting tasks that are awaiting completion. If you prefer to receive this newsletter in the form of a link, or not receive it at all, you can add your name at
Wikipedia:WikiProject Molecular and Cellular Biology/Newsletter/Opt Out List
.
New project feature:
MCB Article Improvement Drive
Have any pet MCB subjects that you think need attention? Have you been longing to be part of a team of like-minded editors working toward a common goal? If so, the
good article status
. Make your nominations and cast your votes now, because the first article will be chosen on September 1!
Discussion:
do we need an MCB director?
In an effort to organize and motivate the MCB activities, it has recently been proposed that a member of the MCB project take the role of "director", who would be responsible for the administrative side of the MCB project, including but not limited to coordinating recruiting efforts, spamming the newsletter, and maintaining the Article Improvement Drive and MCB Portal. A
special discussion/vote
page has been created for this proposal, and the vote will run until 23:59, 10 September 2006 (UTC), unless the community decides otherwise.
Odds and ends: what else you got?
Signed...

The
project main page
has gotten a facelift!
When people visit the project, the very first thing that they see tends to be the project's
main page
, and with this in mind, the main page has been completely overhauled. To enhance readability the various "goals" sections have been merged, and a detailed "how you can help" section has been added. To increase accessibility for more established members, the links to any resources that were in the main body text have been moved onto the navigation bar on the right. Finally, the whole page has been nicely laid out and given a nice attractive look.
New project feature:
peer review
I'm proud to announce the addition of out newest feature:
featured article
status by allowing editors to request the opinions of other members about articles that they might not otherwise see or contribute to.
Project progress
The article worklist
We’ve had quite a bit of progress on the
worklist article in the past month. Not only has the list itself nearly doubled in size from 143 to 365 entries, but an amazing three articles have been advanced to FA status, thanks in great part to the efforts of our very own TimVickers
! Remember, the state of the worklist is the closest thing we have to quantifying the progress of the project, so if you get the chance, please take a look at the list, pick a favorite article, and improve it!
Collaboration of the Month
Last month's
Collaboration of the Month, cell nucleus, was a terrific success! In one month, the article went from a dismal stub to an A-class article. Many thanks to all of the collaborators who contributed, especially ShaiM, who took on the greatest part of the burden. This month's Collaboration of the Month, adenosine triphosphate
, isn't getting nearly the attention of its predecessor, so if you can, please lend a hand!
Finally...
The project has a new coordinator, ClockworkSoul! The role - my role - of coordinator will be to harmonize the project's common efforts, in part by organizing the various tasks required to make the project run as smoothly and completely as possible. Many thanks to those who supported me and those participated in the selection process.

I would like to sort this list by kingdom, rather than such a long list of all organisms. Someone put a note about this on the talk page, would you comment please? [[1]] KP Botany 01:58, 14 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
